they were producing at least henry ford's wife and business partner pushed him into it it's a business ethic that was in forced by law when state governments could and often did revoke the charters the corporate charters of businesses that were operating against the best interests of their communities but that ethic has been replaced by wall street's greed is good ethic which finds its roots in victorian england and stories like a christmas carol working people are condemned to bob cratchit poverty forced to toil long hours under modern day ebeneezer scrooge is crappy pay and no benefits charles dickens whose father once went to debtors prison would have blown his lunch at the idea of ebeneezer scrooge being honored with a title like job creator and now fox is treating zayn tanko as if he and not his customers is the job creator tanko claims the math just doesn't add up to be able to be private health insurance does employees without firing some of them first there's three ways it has to come back it's real simple if more efficiencies reduce overhead or raise prices. let's look at each

henry ford was many things, but a rube was not one of them.ed up his business philosophy this way: >> today henry ford, the innovator of the assembly line would probably be called a lunatic for that philosophy. we've talked tonight about he would oh and new models of labor and management and perhaps old leadership versus new. it's ironic i had to use the past to illustrate a bridge for the future. if we want to middle class capable of buying products, they should pay the wages that allow the workers to do so, not how little they can get away with, but how much they can afford rather than hoarding profits as the middle class shrivels. they should pay enough to let the middle class thrive. i am grateful for job providers. i want more of them. it seems in hindsight what struggling businesses need to do is modernize products and diversify their leadership and treat their employees well. that modernize diversify. no great logic to apply that to the gop. if they want to move forward they need to modernize their political brand and diversify their le

this is the famous henry ford theory.ur stuff purchased by the indian middle class, the chinese middle class and you don't rely so much on a prosperous middle class. i think this is politcally a serious problem and part of the reason we're seeing such polarization in the american debate. >> stephen: the sub title is the rise of global superrich and the fall of everyone else. >> yes. >> stephen: if that is true, shouldn't i hitch a ride with the super rich? or at least just do everything i can to get up in the super rich. i don't want to fall. shouldn't i cut the dead weight of friends and family and get up there with the super rich and say i've got mind jack and watch them tumble down? >> this is the tragedy of america today. if all of us in our own individual like decisions, we see this. this is not a hidden phenomenon. it's a winner take all economy. and we're desperate to get ourselves into that place and our children. you know, why is there so much appreciate sure get into the best kindergarten? to get into the best e

. >> and saying the henry ford axiom, i want my workers to be able to buy the automobiles we're producing. >> well, but the issue here is-- >> what if we go back to spartacus here, because, he had good ideas, too. >> and simple their wages-- >> we're talking about jobs and really, when workers are asking for more money, it may be that in time of uncertainty, in tough times, certainly, hires, employers may say we can't pay it, we've got to get rid of jobs. >> they already are, brenda, this is a dumb idea. for the unions to be flexing their muscles when there are so many people working part-time that would love full-time jobs and so many people out there that don't have jobs at all and now they're going to make things tougher for employers? that doesn't make sense at all. and jonas' points, in texas we're attracted businesses from new york and california because of the businesses were moving here because the labor costs are lower and-- >> taxes play a role in the unionization rate in my opinion, but-- >> but if you're looking at individual companies toby. >> i mean, the union jobs, i flew o

henry ford, a car any working man could afford. simon mainwaring says why stop there? why not pepsi or walmart and says brands can work to build a better world and make money for shareholders in the process. thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you. >> most companies have some sort of arm, department, community affairs, something like that and says, we do good, we spend x number of hundreds of millions of dollars every year on thus. you're saying more the entire company's mission can be to do good. >> absolutely. that doesn't mean these companies have grown a conscience in any way than in the past. the work usually left to the foundation or core marketing efforts or core social responsibility efforts is moving closer to the center of the brand. there's a reason for that. there's a new exposure out there that was burned very bad badly -- new exposure out there that was burned very badly by taigt. more consumers are more distrustful than ever and want brands to be more socially responsible than ever and you see big brands nike with better world project. and

but it's in there interest to raise the rates when they are barely getting by as it is just as henry fordk before world war i to $5. he said he wanted people to buy the cards. that's what you got to do. neil: so what about substance of the country where they have jobs with $10 an hour. were people really aren't jumping on these jobs. where we have a country where help wanted advertising is at an all-time high. a lot of people, for whatever reason, it are having trouble with work. >> we are talking between seven and a quarter and 10. he would get a long-overdue pay raise just to in just to inflation. if you have rick santorum and mitt romney saying the minimum wage should be ingested, that would put pressure on them. >> let me ask you this. do you think the people are as tired of the notion of government could do something? we have seen a little bang for the buck. a lot of people are going the other way. they are careful to go that way because they remember republicans. but is there a limit to what the government can do? would you say that cars being made safely, and they say, you know, go

that took us through the steam engine and, henry ford production line. the first revolution. the second i would argue is the digital. not computer because that'll think it starts there. first were owned by the military and countries and universities. but 1977 where steve jobs brought brazil and desktop. it was putting technology in the hands of everybody sell our ideas ultimately figured out what the computer was. the makers is a combination of the two. digital meet industrial. good digit to station of technologies'. we have had that for decades it is the democratization. the introduction of tools to everybody and everybody. that is when we see the model, creativity, energy come to bear. this is the maker movement i think the credit goes to dale who worked for o'reilly big publishing company he recognize there is something going on that the web generation use their hands more work with communities and share ideas and digital tools affected at and makers fares are hugely successful there was one in new york a couple weeks ago. the maker movement they identified first. it was n

henry ford said his car was for the great multitude. sixteen and a half million model t's were eventually sold to a 16 and a half. how much the biggest selling american made vehicle effort. the ford f-series contracts. an amazing 35 million of those of insults as the trucks were first introduced way back in 1948. and it is ranked as the number-one selling vehicle in the u.s. for 24 years. and now you can trick them out just like a sedan. even backseats. none of this requires a tax benefit to boost sales. that is the problem. when governments just tinkering, lending priorities of the private sector, you get the chevy volt, fannie mae, freddie mac, all disasters, all costing the taxpayer. for more on this time joined by tim kearney, senior political columnist for the washington examiner and author of the book obamanomics, al barack obama is bankrupting you and enriching his wall street friends, corporate lobbyists, and union bosses. i guess you are about the perfect gift. we appreciate you coming in. what can we afford to? >> barack obama

henry ford, that great socialist, understood that if you underpaid retail workers, auto workers, people like that, the economy would collapse. what these workers are saying is that walmart is mistreating them. they have a right to say it. it frankly would be better for everybody if they get to paid a little bit more. >> but -- >> no one is forcing these employees to work at walmart. if they could get paid more elsewhere, they would leave and get paid more in other jobs. besides, with an unemployment rate near 8%, there are plenty of other people who want those jobs at walmart. also, everyone thinks that they're underpaid. you probably think you're underpaid. >> i guess you haven't been out in the streets trying to find a job that pays a living wage. the folks who are working at walmart are working 34 hours a week for $15,000. you can't live a life that way. you can't buy things. there was just a report done about what would it mean for the economy if our retail workers were paid a decent wage and unions help them do that. this anti-union attack may have ideological basis, but it's bad e

and even henry ford. >> steve: it is it a brand new bomb shell piece of evidence that could have change out come in the casey anthony murder trial. someone in the household searched the term. foolproof suffocation the same day kaley was last seen alive but detectives admit they never found the history even though the department had control of the computer. >> brian: you don't get shot you are not hired. making matters worst it arrived before thanksgiving. that is one of cincinnati's largest employers and flu shots are free and employees are required to get them. workers can appeal once they have proven they got the shots. >> gretchen: women in saudi arabia are banned from driving or traveling without their husband's consent. and now the government is tracking their movements. men can now receive text messages when their wives leave the country even if they are traveling together. word of the new rule spread on twitter and people lashed out and say that saudi arabia live under a face of slavery. no kidding. >> steve: you can track your spouse right now. go on itunes and find my iphone an

. >> this is the henry ford model. >> if you think about it for consumers, who is going to pay for the $5. shirt at some point somebody pays for it. exploitation of wages here and overseas. you're talking about pumping more money into the economy and getting millions of folks off of federal assistance. so many folks at walmart have to lean on food stamps and lean on federal assistance. this would get rid of that. if we had to pay an extra dollar for that shirt, i think we're okay with that. >> back it up on the supply chain. if you're talking about that $5 shirt, it's made a couple of different ways. part of it is by paying the retail associate, the checkout man or woman, a low wage, but it backs way up. who are the other folks -- >> all the way down the production line to who is actually making the shirt. where does the material come from and advertising costs. if you think about it, so many of the folks who shop at walmart, work at walmart who have family who works there. it seems like great business decision to lift up everybody together and have more sales. >> yet, peter, that feel

i knew henry ford, but not any of the others. the first test of a gentleman is to respect those that cannot be of any possible value to him. i have seen people over the years -- those who treat those in a superior position to them very nicely better and nasty to people that are no value to them. i detest that kind of behavior. my view, respect people no matter what they can do for you. whether they are above human life or below you. people deserve respect and dignity. they will come back and report you in many ways. henry ford said that the best way to make money in a business is not to think too much about making it. warren buffett, who is a contemporary, one that mario and i have great respect for, he said go to work for the people you respect. don't worry about the money. everything else will take care of itself. you know, we all economic people to a degree. but i think it's very good advice. be with people you respect and admire and don't worry about money and hopefully the rest will take care of itself. william ward, i thoug

some very large like the henry ford medical state and even some of the cultural institutions, some ofthe employers, think about the city as a network of players who can take their own responsibility and take the lead in partnership with the government around certain sets of issues, and then the point about what isabella right issue to tackle because in the southeast there is no water. last time i checked you got lots of water. there's obviously any number of issues whether it is around energy or education or health so this strikes me as a way to get around the challenge of government as the functional government and as compartmentalized. you've got a lot of agency here. we are americans and we don't need to ask permission of any one. but that might be part of the solution. >> i want to be sure that on your list of players we don't forget my brother and sister who've been unemployed for so long they are out of the work force, and questionable skill readiness i don't want to forget them in the equation. it's music to my years to hear planning the definition of the problem and informatio
