are getting rich you all the little class is collapsing a class war is being waged in america today unfortunately the wrong side is winning the so-called one percent of winners are the nation's top corporations which this year in the economy is very slow growth and non the less may record profits the thanks to various loopholes many of these corporations pay little or nothing in parts of the corporations say they need the tax breaks to be able to invest more in to hire more america's second largest energy producers chevron is now lobbying not to let the government tax them more and so my question how many americans as chevron hired since the tax breaks were introduced in two thousand and four the c.e.o. of the company says beach there were up slightly a few thousand in our upstream business over the years but not significantly not significantly on our chevron payroll a few thousand jobs for the billions of dollars in tax stimulus that the government gave the economy same erika's largest corporations are sitting on more than three trillion dollars and not investing in the economy une

me about rich people.they don't cotton to the idea they wouldn't be rich if they didn't have this great country that provides the roads and schools and all the other things that allow them to be rich. this idea, they never understand it's a fluke mostly. that what you do is something that made you rich. yes, if you throw a baseball 100 miles an hour or even what i do, i mean, i'm not humble about some things. i'm very humble about the fact that telling jokes is something that gets you a lot of money. that is a complete fluke. and so is owning pizza parlors. yes, herman cain was good at business. great. he became very rich from it. what about teachers and cops and firemen? you know those people we always say are our heroes. they're such heroes that we pay them like crap. they do what they do very well. it doesn't happen to be something that is ever going to make you rich. this idea that if you're not rich, blame yourself, oh, really bugs me. but i tried to hide it. >> bill maher, can you hold on one second

don't offend the rich.s the middle. >> here we go with the definitions. we can play this game all night. the progressive side, if it was such a popular side in this country why do they have to keep changing their title and their name? if liberalism sold we'd still be called liberalism. this country has a built-in resentment against big government and i want to know how you win the argument being for it. that is the tricky question. >> that is not the real america, chris. >> okay. >> that is not the real america part about populist, liberal conservative. people of real america care about the issues. rebuilding roads and bridges. whether you're left, right, middle or whatever it doesn't matter. they want to see the jobs and the work being done. they want to see obama out there fighting for their side. they want to feel like he is an ally and not too aloof. >> okay. let me go by joan. i think joan is on the progressive side and always has been. you heard bernie sanders earlier. tough new trade laws. very tough

and, again, the rich are doing great. really great. the rich are doing greater than great. greater than they've ever done ever. so today waking up to this new data in the newspaper, the republican party put out its congressional budget guy, congressman paul ryan. paul ryan famous for his kill medicare budget. right? which a huge majority of republicans voted for in congress. to say they put paul ryan out today on the day this news breaks, to say that democrats pushing more populous democratic policies, repealing the bush tax cuts for the richest people. criticizing republican policies for just helping the rich. paul ryan out today saying with that kind of rhetoric, democrats are dividing the country. >> so when social unrest and class resentment makes america weaker. the president is barn storming weak states pushing a divisive message that pits one group of americans against another on a basis of class. >> it is true americans are divided on the basis of class. the class division is between the top 1% and everybody else. but saying that, describing that, naming that truth,

speculators rich and rich the poor. and that with michelle sounded off the director of the center for research on globalization. but first efforts from greece to the united states express their anger some in this country are turning that frustration into a little bit of profit and occupy wall street as are you gonna suck each are going to find out businesses in new york as well as around the country have been catching up with the movement popularity to make an extra buck. the occupy wall street trademark on its way to becoming a successful business trip companies big and small have been swarming to the encampment like bees to honey you're. there are ninety nine percent effective occupied condoms helping americans fight against being screwed. over. orders that we have. to think that sort of like an evil plot to make sure these protesters don't have babies on their numbers don't grow. that's funny there are over three thousand items of occupy wall street merchandise pins t. shirts and even an occupier's hygiene kit starti

they call rich people robber barons.the term was used by america newspapers to smear tycoons like cornelius vanderbilt and john d. rockefeller but the media then were clueless too. they were neither robbers nor barons. they weren't barons because they weren't royalty and they weren't born rich. they were born poor. they weren't robbers because they didn't steal. they earned money by pleasing people. vanderbiladvantage built invens to make travel easier. the extra customers he attracted allowed him to lower costs. he cut the new york hartford fare from 8 today's $1. that helped people. rockefeller was called a monopolist but he wasn't. he had 100 competitors. no one was ever forced to buy his oil. he got rich by finding cheaper ways to get oil to the pump. the competitors called him a robber because he stole their busy hoeing prices. it made life better for poor people. they used to go to bed when they got dark but thanks to rockefeller they could afford fuel for lanterns and stay up and reid at night. it may have even sa

perry's flat tax says if you're rich you can have a huge tax cut if you're poor and not so poor that you don't pay any taxes at all but you know working poor or the working middle class you could just pay what you're paying right now. i don't get it steve forbes was the first guy to push this back in one thousand nine hundred if it had passed he would have by now gotten a one point six billion dollars tax cut steve forbes i mean and he's still pushing this thing what's what's really more important to the republicans addressing the actual debt that they keep screaming about ward dealing with the these massive tax cuts that have been given to the top one percent by both reagan and now version i think you're going to the one percent that money is earned and the government takes and the government wants to take the government continually wants to take there is a car is never going to find a veritable x.-axis of the price of membership in a civil society but what is a fair what is a fair share. i go back to where i started a fair share is that money is the is the taxes that we had when ou

both parties cater to the rich.hat is why when push came to shove, in december to -- in december 2010, the bush era tax cuts were about to expire, 60% of americans were saying let them expire at the top, but that is not what happened. all of a sudden there is a deal between the white house and congress to extend them for two more years. that was not because the president's back was to the wall. the political adviser for saying you cannot do that, you are running for election. you need a campaign contributions. this is really the story of america. the market system in the global era took away a lot of the jobs they used to provide a middle- class income, especially in the manufacturing sector. instead of the government helping to create new skills, new industries and so on, the government teamed up with the most powerful, religious interests in this country, because that is how campaigns are made. since those 30 years have continued to side with the top 1%, and to ignore totally the poorest people, and once in awhile

it's not whether we have something against rich people. it's whether they have something against poor people or working people. no one is proposing to do anything to rich people, but say pay user share. >> exactly. >> it's as if you came into the american economy from outer space, and you looked around, and you decided the problem here is that rich people don't have enough money, and that retires have too much health care security, and too much retirement security, and the poor have -- their safety nets are too strong, so we have to reverse all of that. >> and we're going to reward the rich with more money, take it from the poor and accuse the president, as ryan said today, of class warfare if you dare interrupt the conversation. >> exactly. the republican -- the problem with the republican plan, simply put, is that they're scratching exactly the wrong itches. we've got a lot of real problems in this economy, job, incomes for the middle class, all of these things go exactly the wrong way. that's why the american people are so disappointed,

is suffering our economy's suffering but when we see this we still have a lot of rich people there. well we have plenty of rich people but you know the interesting thing is there's even maps of the inequality in this country now among rich people we talk about we are the ninety nine percent but if you take the ninety ninth percentile though that average taps for him shows five hundred thousand dollars in income according to the last study but if you go to the ninety nine point nine percent file it's more than four times as much and if you went beyond that i'm sure it would continue to get more and more and even that was richard just goes to your fellow at the campaign for america's future. over anger over inequality in the united states to greece where folks there are more than a greek over the latest austerity measures calling for a revolution just how serious are the protestors are sisera france is on the ground and in the thick of things including syria. people i can be back very quickly also intact the slides we could take as being used in the crowds we're not sure exactly what

rich: you know what's amazing?ot his hands on the center, watkins, it seemed like it took forever to get the ball. could have saved themselves, regardless they were only going to get one more play. now you've got a chance to put one into the end zone. don't know why, it took a while to get the clock. he has to make sure everybody's set. marv: one second left. the chargers call for time. rich: that's a good decision by them to talk about it. you see him there and the -- this is the defensive coordinator. he wants to make sure they're talking about all the different scenarios and what has to happen. talk to those safeties, talk to the corners. this is situational football. these are the plays that you work on on friday afternoons. last play of the game. he's saying, rush forward. you don't want to give tebow extra time to run around. i'm pretty sure that's what he was saying. we're going to rush four and not three. give tebow too much time back there in the pocket. four-man rush. marv: one second left. tebow -- rich:

and as the occupy wall street movement gets rougher, a government report confirms that yes, the rich are definitely getting richer. >> the first question that comes to mind is are we still together? captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org-- star seems to be fading and mitt romney is still the favorite to win the republican presidential nomination, especially when you look at his numbers in the early primary states. almost herman cain's nonexistent campaign structure, republicans keep telling us how much it they like him. here he is taking a potshot at mitt romney and the health care plans the. >> many of my years have been providing health care. hillarycare, obamacare, and now i have to fight romneycare to get the nomination. >> easier said than done, mr. cain. peter hart held late focus group that included republicans, democrats, and independence. when he asked which candidate interested them the most, be answered by a large margin was herman cain. you were there, mark. what is it about him that appeal to republicans? >> he is not a politician, that they like

there's another other way of balancing the budget if you are not going to raise taxes on the rich andalso going to raise taxes on the poor. i mean, look this is just a matter, as obama says, as the president says, of mathematic, it is also, ed, a question of morality, we have seen for years, for years, that more and more and more of the nation's income has been going to the very top, the top 1%. more and more of the nation's wealth has been going to the very top. at the very same time, the tax rates paid by the -- the effective tax rates paid by the very, very rich keep on going down, which means more and more of the burden is on the middle class and the poor and also means the public services are being sacrificed it has been going on for years, but now, it's really completely out of control and i think that's what a lot of the occupy wall street is all about because with all of that money with all of that wealth at the top, also comes political power. political power to keep their tax rates low, political power to make sure that the rest of america doesn't get the medical care they n

because the new social contract is to make sure the rich stay rich ok and they're happy with that we can they have their congresses in their parliaments and their central banks in their pocket they have done very well here they like to not go ahead richard then you and i can be contradicted by other gas go ahead richard. yes i think that i go back to the cutting of social welfare by the inequality of distribution of wealth and income over the last thirty years that also allows the rich to have much more influence as the corporations have that's what we call neo liberalism on shaping government policy and that includes central bank policy what we've had since two thousand and seven when this crisis hit is what we used to call trickle down economics the central bank together with the treasury or whatever the government agency is bails out those at the top the biggest banks the biggest insurance companies the biggest corporations and it hopes may be that it will trickle down to everybody else we now know as we enter year five of this ongoing capitalist crisis that the trickle down didn'

north of the rich west they consume most of the world's resources and we have emerging middle class is all around the the developing world the emerging world and they want to live like their european and american peers isn't that really the issue here is how you distribute resources divided by seven billion nine billion ten billion and so forth. i think it goes beyond i think the real concerns in some developing parts of the world where population is growing faster economies can sustain and i think that you know if he is working with those countries you know that to be able to ensure that women and young girls to take advantage of new technologies that are available education and ensure that they can be empowered to make choices in their lives to have children going forward so it is first about demographic transition in those countries but beyond that i agree with you it indicate that the level of course the level of consumption of this point in time is also still a book and we must encourage developing countries to adopt a different concern from so that we're going to have it ok wh
