7:42 pm
tomorrow will talk about income in the quality, i am sorry is he running against his own record again? the key is finally taking advantage of his first term the issue the pope has highlighted a topic of conversation and when i take a bit, a quality it is more about how to recreate opportunity a class of americans that can grow with the current economy? >> we have had income inequality forever as a matter of fact we have had in every country what is the big deal of how? >> it is the lack of jobs for the middle-class career builder just said 40 percent of the jobs created between
7:43 pm
now and 2017 are for low and high end, earner's so there is nothing for the middle-class to grab ahold of. lou: i have written a couple of books on the middle-class it drives the bad to watch the industry should republican or 10 rickrack give the results that you talk about. the president discovered opportunity his favorite expression is in, the quality for redistribution now he has learned something about opportunity. >> when barack obama says it can inequality you should hear tax hike. but he is talking about is not really a job -- jobs
7:44 pm
strategy but a political strategy. obamacare has our the country so the owner of the right to you have to counteract that with anchor on the left so astutely those juices he believes is the way to do that so to have a call for a minimum-wage. >> but then tried to get out the democratic vote. lou: why is this president even fussing about the battle waged? he asked for $9 he had five years to move he would create bigger fracturing hubs in he did not know that
7:45 pm
we are to take him seriously ? >> lecter up the way politics works with you are in the second chart you have more flexibility. first uc states implementing their own minimum-wage because if you have a class of the working poor they cannot afford to stay above the poverty line. lou: what percent of american workers are on a minimum-wage? >> on average 38% working parents. lou: i will help you. i will keep this right here. to% of american workers are robert wage. and so when people talk about raising it and i don't
7:46 pm
really care as long as they don't overdo it because you talk about to present the obama change the nature of the world we need to talk about opportunity. >> but that is the lower 90% of earners only heard the 50 percent of the total income. is not be distributed but we have seen a law were growth since 1928 we are at the same level of the great depression with the divide. lou: will owe. wait. wait. there is a reality about
7:47 pm
then distribution of the fact is the major surge of the coefficient is 1980. 1990 the reality is what was occurring simultaneously was the stock options starting the ceo also the explosion of technology and the bradys. -- in the 1990's but dennis president talks about redistribution and for wealth step back and we also know he will bring that up tomorrow but if there is a hike with the industries have to scale back on the
7:48 pm
workers' average so while they will make minimum-wage it will just scaled back the hours they are offered. lou: the reason there is the plush for comprehensive immigration reform their members are working landscaping, construction and it is cheap labor. >> that was my next point supply ian to be used you comply with sec leave them those things but the reason the work does not pay a living wages because of supply and demand is out of whack illegal immigration has pulled down the bottom of the american worker whether competition for the jobs if you do not do it for eight or $9 somebody will. they have no negotiating or leverage to get more out of the jobs.
7:49 pm
lou: we can go on and we will but the fact is free a living wage to the middle-class is critical with the business practices that absolutely devastating to the middle-class i hope the president will take a look at those issues as well. in and a reminder to pick up my new book "upheaval" the objective is out on twitter or facebook or leaks to everything and lou dobbs.com the brand new book that makes the case the code dependency of the united states and china could be the most critical question we answer stephen is next. this is the quicksilver cash back card from capital one.
