union and nonunion workers have lower wages. >> but they also have a lot more jobs i don't even believe these workers in south carolina field they are underpaid. they sweep them up a line around the block with pretty good salaries. john: what would you say to these two? >> you cannot dissolve the middle-class to think we will have progress we spend money we produce revenue that we built the middle-class pay as more people will spend more. >> if the unions are so wonderful then why do you have to force me? why can i not choose? and they don't have a response why should we force people to join if it is a

about the regulations. >> don't you agree you cost jobs by putting the mandates on employers and businesses in general? >> talk about fuel efficiency standards. two responded to the new requirements. >> that they hired more to working compliance so let's be honest to say some will hurt or go out of business look at the macro evidence we are trading fewer jobs and small business is having a harder time i don't think that is an accidental connection. john: where the congressman is wrong it is a broken window fallacy break windows

because then they have to hire the janitor and the glassmaker said you create jobs but leaves out those jobs that go into compliance you higher fuel were real creators. >> i understand why we helped to make the environment safer but what isn't there is the honest of those unintended consequences with those costs and regulations that cannot afford to do it they're not the of large well-capitalized corporation. that crushes the little guy that has the lion's share of the jobs. >> when i began the segment i said to creates jobs i should say a few people got
