break. >> the michigan film tax track>> don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. >> nascar track owners get special breaks. so to investors in terne kinds of energy. the privileged class. that's our show tonight. >> there's a reason today for the first time most of america's richest counties surround washington, d.c. washington is where you go if you want special privileges. that's where they todole them o. as government grows they have another more to dole out. we are all people we are all in this together.

but where government is very big that's a lot. george other well understood this when he wrote the novel animal farm. >> other well w orwell was writ about communism. government central plans hurts everyone a little but rewards people. >> the animal farm prosper but the animals themselves are no better off with the exception of the pig. >> the pigs in animal farm were the political leaders and over time they prospered at the other animal's expense. >> some animals are more equal than others. today the animals that are more equal. people that aren't groenes they

lobby cronies that get close to the politician. hollywood film producers got a special break. nascar got 70 million to build new racetracks. multi national corporations got 9 billion tax break. the act tive financing section to subpart f. that is how washington works. but ellis hen began is a proud progressive they make choices about who needs help. many with american tax reform says government says we should spring government so it can't make some animals more equal than others. >> you want the winners with all of the $3 trillion? oo if we are going to have government we are going to have laws it is the case that some

people will get benefits. it is trivial compared to the impact the market has, that heredity has and number of other factors. if you want to be rich in this society the best way is to be born that way. if you don't marry a rich person go into the market and sell goods and services to people that will get you rich a whole lot richer than sucking the government with. >> having government give it to you because you know somebody isn't. >> but it is inevitable. if we want government to do things for us if we want roads and bridges and prisons and a military and a safety net, someone somewhere is going to benefit from that. you can't use that as an excuse to not do important things for our society. >> no libertarian is going to say we have you not have any roads or have government

involved. can we do a public private partnership where they can make investments back on the road rather than contract the union to support the politician to build the road. those are what we should be asking rather than no road or no highway. >> keep government small so fewer of the choices are in the hands of politicians. >> i agree. >> but again you don't use some notion of well there's going to be someone ahead and a little behind to make important choices for us. someone is going to have to build that road and it might be your friends and it might be john's friends. >> why are you giving someone else's nascar tracks. >> i don't trick motorcycle makers. i am not going to defend every single tax break. but at least in government, john, those decisions are being made by people who are elected by the people. >> that would be great if that were the case. look what happened with obamacare. they didn't read the law before it went into effect. the people who are making these

decisions are administrators of the epa these aren't folks we have accountability for. >> you gave up obamacare they were supposed to meet us members of congress got a special subsidy. senator griber had a health exchange about that. >> is there any other large employer who gets the same treatment and gets to go to that exchange? >> the congressional provision only applies to congress. >> con dwres is the only large employer who gets that special treatment. >> it is a function, it is one of the provisions in affordable care ability. >> congress gets the special deal. republicans and democrats, we don't want to hurt our staff and treat them like the rest of this country. >> listen, i don't understand why you are so fixated on this. i mean to work with congress there's some benefits you get by being a government employee. there are things most of those people could make more money in the private sector. one is a special break on health insurance. why do we need to be so outraged

about that. >> that is not how the healthcare law wraas written. if you are dumped off from the employer's healthcare insurance your employer doesn't get to give you any more subsidies for premium for your healthcare costs. that's the deal and that's how it is written in the law the folks who wrote the law should have to deal with it as well. >> labor unions were there and after it passed and they read it and discovered some of us will have to pay more. >> if the affordable care act is not fixed it needs to be revealed. we will be damned if we are going to loose our health insurance because of unintended consequences and a law and it needs to be mixed now. presto a mu months later they would have a rule to exempt unions from the fee. but others have to pay it. why is that fair? >> this is the way we tigfight things in a democratic society. these people are getting more

than i am getting. at least again it's not perfect. you are right people have influence some are smarter than others. some are think thanks that help support them. at least we are doing this in some kind of playing field that is open to some sort of public debate. isn't that better. >> we are talking about obamacare here which is already the law of the land which is what we have been hearing from the administration for months if not years. he gets to play with the law of the land however he wants. >> 41451 waiver -- 451 waivers o the union p. >> it is not just the fee it's the cap on healthcare benefits. they tried to get as much out of the law and did well for themselves. >> what about the irs

examination taking on tea party groups. >> that isn't true. they are trying to gnave gate through this that air lou -- allows them to do political stuff. let's make all groups pay their fair share of debts. >> does that include labor unions? >> we can agree on that. certain invest is tors get special privileges if they invest in green energy. the president obama told congress he wants more money do i have given to certain countries to pay for research on new forms of energy. >> the private sector will not invest in their research because it is too expensive, too risky. we have to support it and we will all benefit from it. >> we don't so much all benefit from it. certain people benefit from it.

>> john, dream with me on this. president wouldn't it be great if we had this renewable energy that didn't pollute from anything. >> what do we have from the investments? >> he said what i said about the investments is they are too risky for the private market. that's because they are not going to bear industry that aren't solvent, that aren't productive that aren't going to produce anything for consumers or for businesses. there's a reason for that. there's a good reason for that. resources should be dedicated to industries and enterprises that are going to help america not hinder it. >> every time industry gsolves these problems government will not do. these are the times markets failed us. let's get together and investment>> the markets failed the industry hasn't invented the perfect energy form but the tax payer should fund bureaucrats to do it. >> better than giving it to the oil companies.

>> it is quite a big difference. >> we should have subsidies but the oil companies deliver. >> there is something different than solyndra $500 million shot and allowing the oil industry to deduct the exact thing that other manufacturers are allowed to deduct. >> these are little growing companies. the oil industries are the most profitable corporate entities they have owned. >> look how sleazy the sol linda $500 million loss was. george kaiser was obama backer. he raised 100,000. ment made several visits to the white house. this was the guy behind solyndra. >> i am not defending solyndra. there are sleez bags in every industry. let's not give up the idea of doing things a society.

look at the companies taxpayers pay for that have gone bankrupt. the a 23 systems the range, fuel, beacon power and one after the other that went broke. >> they have ties back to the democratic administration. >> the white house in the most open honest administration. >> sounds terrible when you read this list of these companies that stumble. in fact if you look at it in a broader content the failure rate is far les than the marketplace. >> the government is assuring putting their thumb on the scale and saying these little guys over here are somehow better

than gain attraction in silicone valley. >> in the end we make judgments. you can't just throw up your hands and say i am not just going to do anything. i want military prisons and maybe welfare. >> we want all of these things, too, better and cheaper. >> if we did all of those. that would be one 35th of the budget. i am okay with that. >> dream with me. don't just throw it out. as we debate government is broke you win. >> thank you ellen and maddie. thank you to keep this conversation being use the hash tag prifl louse frivolous for movie plate makers.
