question if george washington and thomas jefferson and john adams, james madison and thomas paine, benjamin franklin, were here today, they would be advocating -- wouldn't say society in which the top 1% have 42% of the wealth on their way to 50% in the bottom 50% have 1% of wealth, but that was a good society, that wasn't their view at all. they thought government too often became the service of the wealthy and powerful and that was opposition to government. it wasn't that in government the portended to take the resources of the rich. the problem in government was the rich tend to take the resources of the poor. that is the situation we face in american society today and that is why true conservatives, true libertarians should work for change in our society where the strong, private-sector, guiding the economy, but at the same time with significant public sector providing public goods and ensuring extremes of any quality don't become too great. the founders favored wealth taxation, progressive taxation, those are the ideals we should return to. >> host: the us economic system is macro, basically li
