8:00 am
always. and we'll have david aser on forbes on fox. the network 15 years young and blossomed to a business network . going strong these days. >> here is a game momentum of both sides of the aisle. slashing taxes on dollars parked overseas. would it work? welcome to forbes on fox . we'll go in focus with steve forbes and elizabeth and michael and dennis and morgan. rich, do you think it will work? >> on many levels. this is 1.4 trillion dollars. 1-10th the size of your gdp. and better than the proposal
8:01 am
that obama is proposing. this is a stimulus and would boost stock prices and cause a lot of money to flow in capitol expenditure. you would not see them immediately but down stream inning big numbers. >> it is a private sector stimulus? >> no, it is hocus pocus stuff. companies will look to the future. >> you are not against tax cuts per se. >> correct. permanent tax cuts. corporations have record amounts of cash but not hiring because they see what is coming down the road with health care. you need a permanent tax cut to spur job growth. >> dennis, the point is, even blue dog democrats are on board of this one. >> i would love to make it
8:02 am
permanent. we did this once before in 2004 for an experiment and companies brought home 360 billion and half used for jobs or capitol spending according to the studies. this is a great idea. john chambers said bring home a trillion and not a taxpayer dollar. >> we should say not a tax forgiveness. >> they would have to pay 5 or eight percent on this. >> i understand take it as you can. and get a tax cuts out of these in congress who don't know what they are doing . and don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. you can do social engineering with the companies. a senate report 150 billion in the 04 tax holiday . 15 companies cut 21,000 jobs and 840 companies took advantage of that. and it didn't increase jobs
8:03 am
and do things like stock buy backs. >> what is wrong with that? >> look at the taxes that corporations have to pay here, second highest in the world. >> that's right, david. you take what you can. in terms of deficit, that would be 180 billion for the taxpayer treasury . others will put that money to work especially when we get a good environment. the government will take that and more in the next few years. >> morgan, we got word that the canadians are lowering their tax rate. >> take it where i can get it. but going to the point of back to 2004, last time we had a holiday, only people who got the holiday were stock holders and according to a national bureau of economic research it
8:04 am
was 60 or 92 septs of every dollar went to stock holders pockets and not jobs. >> dennis is having a fit. >> listen to morgan said. oh, my gosh, it went to shareholders. hey, that money belongs to shareholders and 1.4 trillion doing nothing. and we would bring it home. it is a proven case. >> better to have the money here. >> it is just a holiday, we are not looking at a permanentuation and that money will go back overseas. >> make it permanent. >> it makes my head explode. we need tax reform. and this is kicking the can harder down the road. yes, it is. we need overall tax reform. >> that's ridiculous. >> you know, elizabeth, you
8:05 am
are the one who said don't let perfect be the enemy of the good. >> i get it but it is a distraction. >> of course we need tax reform. it would only benefit shareholders and everyone who has a 401 k. that would add confidence to merp investors and the market would go up 10 percent. >> steve, at least it is something. they have battled inside of the beltway and this is something to do to get the economy moving more. >> yes, it is not a taxpayer's expense and more capitol in the reform. we'll have more ammunition to get it moving. take it when you can. >> and all of the money turning by the fed is boosting the stock market but nothing to lower unemployment. you have to lower unemployment and that comes from true capitol formation and comes
8:06 am
from corporate tax structure. >> and 1.4 trillion more to work with in the states, wouldn't they hire new workers? >> they didn't. >> mike and elizabeth, how it really works. when the stock market goes up. you get the wealth affect and people feel confident and they go out and spend and that creates jobs. >> you will not get a direct trillion in jobs. but you will get a lift in the economy that is tangible. >> going back to richard's point. as many as 80 percent of all new jobs are done by small businesses. until we have reform not see reforms. >> no one argues with that. again, wldn't they use some of the 1.4 trillion to create jobs? >> you would think so. i am not sure what study dennis is listening at.
8:07 am
they did cut jobs. but i am tired of the gimmicky moves because it lets single think they could fix the economy. corporation respond on their own to incentives. and everything coming out of washington looks gimmicky to me. >> in 2005, s&p 500 went up 15 percent and gdp glue and city group said 05 was the only one that grew and not stimulated by the bubbly things. >> dennis, you get the last word. >> very lively discussion. >> one state's capitol city declaring bankruptcy and that is great news for taxpayers. bus bankruptcy is better than a bailout. it is coming up in the bottom of the hour. coming up next, we will get more than 15-- $500 bucks out
8:08 am

8:13 am
it is like a swamp. it breeds mosquito and government breeds corruption. >> no way to stop political influence when you have government loans this sign. >> i am not arguing that there need to be clean up where the green loans are well. don't throw the baby out with the bath water. there is interesting companies that are promising. like poet doing the first commercial grade plant and as corp which reported 21 percent increase. so not everyone. >> not everyone. but it is more than just two. there is a lot of others in trouble as well >> that's right, david. this is a bipartisan issue. this ramped up under the bush administration. this is abuse of the public
8:14 am
purse by both sides of the aisle. letting big companies get dirt cheap financing from this china style state run bank run by the treasury department. other big companies that are getting loan guarantees are french companies like ariba and ford and nrg acessing the government pot of the money. it is not right and fair to recollect businesses that are not doing it. >> the bottom line of the whole project. when you spend recollect people's money as the department of energy folks are, you are less careful where it goes. >> not in when you are trying to solve big problems, you have to take big rick. one of the top venture capitalist empraces the failed strategy. he's trying to solve a major
8:15 am
problem and will invest in 10 companies to solve that problem and nine out of 10 he knows is going to fail . the 10th company that doesn't succeed he will see a huge return on it. >> rich, you are in california. i talked to so many people. we knew solyndra was a terrible business model and president's own people got memos saying it was a bad business model and he couldn't stop it but it was not his money. >> it was not his money and another fact that is bad. it demoralized the people who are not connected. steve jobs died last week. can you imagine if steve jobs and steve wiskcan. it is demoralizing. bill clinton had it right. you should be able to play by
8:16 am
the same rules. >> the point is emac there is so little accountability. there is so much dirty business not only with solyndra but the sun power deal. >> that's right david. wusun power is out of that project but helping to operating the solar ranch in california. sun power admitted the revenues would plummet if it didn't have the government backing . the treasure run bank is run by time geithner and so by statute must help out government projects that congress wants. it is not right. the department of energy is supposed to oversee our nuclear stock pile and not in the business of financing. >> and even other foreign countries spain, pulled out
