this jobs bill is only paid for by asking millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share. and some see this is class warfare i see it as a simple choice we can either keep taxes as exactly as they are for millionaires and billionaires with loopholes that lead them to have lower tax rates in some cases then plumbers and teachers or we can put teachers and construction workers and veterans back on the job. it is deficit reduction plan which lays out a way to pay for the american jobs act president introduced the buffett rule which ensures that the wealthiest americans are forced to pay the same exact tax rates as the average middle class americans so the days working on a similar proposal were planned to charge the wealthy a five percent surtax on any income over one million dollars in order to recoup the costs of job creation republicans still think these pay fours are class warfare and i guess republican front runner for president mitt romney would know he's the richest guy in the race he's worth hundreds of millions of dollars and just so happens to pay less in taxes than

and these four hundred billionaires who own more wealth than one hundred fifty million other americans combined saw their enormous fortunes grow twelve percent since last year to a mind boggling combined total of one and a half trillion dollars to put that in perspective in one thousand nine hundred two before all the reagan tax cuts for the super rich went into effect and forbes first published its top four hundred the combined wealth of that list of all the people on that list it was ninety one billion dollars again today it's want to have really in dollars that's a sixteen hundred percent increase in fewer than thirty years so all the wealth of these corporate c.e.o.'s and oil barons and oligarchy frankly are what we would have called nobles and feudal europe have seen astronomical increases in their wealth what has the middle class seen in these thirty years swatch to begin with wealth doesn't even apply to the middle class largely because outside of their homes which are increasingly being foreclosed on the average working american doesn't have a community wealth but the c.e.o. cl

could it be billionaires? let's bring our panel now from analyst alex wagner and joining us from washington, analyst alex. eight out of ten voters are not sure who they should go with. the accidental nominee. >> it is entirely possible and not terrifying. the gop voters are undecided and herman cain is a flash in the pan, but had staying power. there was a desire to elect someone with fire. i call it the fruit loops theory. they have a choice between wheaties and fruit loops which is herman cain. they want someone with appeal and certainly herman with the first african-american nominee. >> even though it will give him diabetes. that disheveled smoker has a sinister past. these were behind it. >> he was? >> the smoking man behind every experience theory. he ran wisconsin branch of americans for prosperity when they were caught in the last recall election running a voter suppression scheme back in 1997. he was basically kicked out of the wisconsin politics for three years and fined $15,000 for violating election

three billionaires.s not need very many people in order to raise a quarter of a billion dollars against barack obama. the koch brothers are worth $25 billion each. they could spend $5 billion each, $10 billion each, $20 billion each. whatever. you need a handful of people, right wing billionaires on one side who can spend an infinite amount of money and on their side, as the chairman of the fed pleads with congress today for an action to save the economy, for them to not cut, to do something for economic growth. as this happens, as we scuttle into this new crisis, republicans in congress are saying they will take no action on the jobs bill. that's on the one side. here's the other side. >> we've got to put america back to work. three weeks ago i sent congress a bill called the american jobs act. some of you might have heard of it. everything in it is the kind of proposal that's been supported by democrats and republicans in the past. everything in it. everything in it will be paid for. so it won't add to

supporting people's right to assemble and raised concerns about the huge bailout for banks and billionaires and support community efforts to revitalize our neighborhoods. the rest i will submit. thank you. supervisor chiu: today i will be introducing a drafting request to helps avoid companies that provide social benefits to our community. for over a decade, social entrepreneurs around the country have been pioneering a new way to create businesses that do well as they do good with companies that have a double or triple bottom line. in recent years, there has been interest in establishing a new type of corporate structure, known as benefit corporations, as compared to the typical c corporations. they go beyond maximizing shareholder value or profits to include stakeholder values such as environmental, social, or other community benefits. as a used to power business to help sell -- solve social environment problems. two weeks ago, governor brown signed into law assembly bill 361, which creates a new class of b corporations in california. arce became the sixth to try these. i am drafting legi

it's amazing to me still the crusading conservative billionaire activist brothers who have more money than god and yet they don't spend any of that money, they don't get off their wallet and hire people to pretend to be wisconsin families that like scott walker. instead they buy them online cheap. frankly it might be nice if they hired real people in wisconsin to impersonate people who like scott walker. since scott walker has been governor of wisconsin, the unemployment rate has gone up from 7.4% to 7.9%. all the more reason why the koch brothers have to fund a campaign called it's working to describe how awesome scott walker has been for that state. the real people of wisconsin were really not happy with scott walker and republicans in that state stripping away their union rights. particularly because wisconsin is where a lot of america's union rights were born because people fought for their rights. then wisconsin republicans elected in 2010 got rid of them. people were not happy about that in wisconsin. i doubt that anybody in wisconsin is happy about soaring unemployment rates th

there's no amount of money that a tv network could offer a billionaire, a real billionaire to inducehe only factual standoff that remains now between donald trump and me. he says, he's a billionaire seven times over. i say he's not. throughout his life, which began as the fortunate son of a very rich man, he has felt compelled to lie about how rich he is as he's made his way in his father's real estate business. but that is not all he has lied about. i've said repeatedly he lied about hiring investigators to go to hawaii to investigate president obama's birth. the second i heard him say that, i knew he was lying about it and said so. >> i have people that actually have been studying and they cannot believe what they are finding. >> you have people down there searching in hawaii. >> absolutely and they cannot believe what they are finding. >> donald got away with that lie everywhere he went those die days. >> i'm looking in to it seriously. >> like what? >> i don't want to go in to that. no reason to go in to that in great detail but i can tell you i have great resource and i'm lookin

in perspective teachers firefighters in working stiffs usually pay about twenty five percent but billionaire warren buffett he only pays seventeen percent that's why he himself has asked for his taxes to go up and why president obama has proposed a new rule named after warren buffett to ensure that millionaires and billionaires pay the same tax rate as the average middle class americans but it gets worse according to a new report from the nonpartisan congressional research service warren buffett is an alone in paying an absurdly low tax rate in fact there's tens of thousands of warren buffett's. for more on this then giuliani is here he's a reporter and blogger at think progress so welcome so what is what is this what is this new c.r.s. report not serious the congressional research service it's a nonpartisan it's what all of congress uses to figure out how much things cost you know the effect of certain legislation what does this new serious report tell us about unfair taxes in america sure of the sierras put out this report to basically test the thesis that president obama and warren buffet
