lot of mechanisms built into the system to serve an optimistic mindset that could be changed and jack dorsey talked about this and those structures what are we promoting, what sort of feedback are we creating? all of these systems we all think about the feedback loop and incentivize certain behaviors you cannot change human nature if it comes from status or seeking or attention seeking that if you have the whole world available to do those things i don't think there is a pollyanna version although certain behaviors could be curbed. >> one of the things we have been talking about the future of democracy in the constitution jeffrey rosen talks about that writing a piece in the atlantic this month about the threat of the madisonian conception madison didn't want direct to the people but slow deliberations the founders were very frightened of the formation of mobs. so as a technical optimist such as yourself. that's not a bad word. you hinted at this you have an overview of the benefits of instant human to human communication. >> yes. i can only speak for myself personally i was overly optimisti

in the other corner, jack dorsey who doesn't think that's exactly the best way to do it.we have marc benioff tweeting homelessness is all about responsibility, which is why we are supporting proxy, that's what the bill is called. in the response jack dorsey roback i don't believe this proxy or racquets proxy is the best way to do it. so then he challenged him over twitter. show me examples of the donations that you've made in what you've done to help salmon cisco improve the homeless problem. this is a distraction. a new mayor in place. not in favor of proxy, which would especially tax these large companies, mostly tech and they would have to pay half of a percent of their gross earnings over $50 million a year. $300 million each year to build more housing, mental health treatment to help those that are homeless which is what they are currently spending per year. but also cisco, nancy pelosi and this will be voted on. it's interesting how two different tech titans have different ways to think about this helping those that need help. >> it is indeed peered susan, thank you

this is the kind of thing that drives businesss awayment twitter's jack dorsey coming out as one of theding voices against it marc benioff who argues this is pretty binary or you're for it or against it. which is it going to be. salesforce's stock got slammed today but this is a fabulous company and one that has a long history being committed to philanthropy let's welcome back marc benioff to hear more about proposition c and how his company is doing welcome back to "mad money." >> hey, jim, great to be with you and thanks for having me. >> marc, you have been outspoken and including a fabulous op-ed piece in "new york times" about the social responsibility of business. >> thank you. >> and some of us are mystified. you're either for or against it. tell us, is it as binary as tha or because i was homeless once i don't get it and too biased. >> you understand the situation here i know you have a americanal story. we're in a crisis of homelessness and it's a very serious situation in san francisco. i mean at the same time, it's really become a rice cyst of inequality exactly like you said

>> first, let us acknowledge that people like jack dorsey are incredibly hypocritical.y are totally advocating left wing policies, higher taxes on the rich, higher taxes on corporations and here they have a home-grown problem but it's not in my neighborhood, i don't want to spend the money, my company doesn't want to spend the money to fix it. to your point, i don't think they can. no matter how much money. >> i got to say, as a homeowner in san francisco, i am really torn on this. i appreciate beniof and the position he's taking. i also do not blame the other people in the tech companies who have a problem with this. there's a history of the government in san francisco getting it to this point and not fixing it. why would anybody think they're going to fix it now? i would love to have seen these tech companies get together and say look, we have a civic obligation to our city. we're going to do something about this and work with the mayor. the mayor, by the way, is against prop c. a proposition was not the right way to go about this. i still like to see these big tech c

jack dorsey says this bandaid only really encourages more of this kind of stuff? you look at california, texas is my home state. so a lot of the businesses have been leaving california because of the high taxes, to come to states like texas. because there is such a friendly business climate. so they're going to have to decide heart and mind. it is not realistic to continue to raise taxes on these businesses and somehow think they're going to stay. these businesses, ceo's like sales force that willying give to homeless they can cut a check. but notion of raising taxes on all of the businesses is somehow going to keep them there when they're already leaving the state already, charles, i think it is unrealistic. charles: really amazing they won't look at issues, whether seattle, forced higher minimum wage payments, some of the things they do in name of helping them actually exacerbate the homelessness problem. not a coincidence, that seattle, san francisco have the biggest jumps in homelessness. we'll see what happens. they peace ad similar bill in seattle. businesse

benioff is willinging to pay but square and twitter ceo jack dorsey are critical worrying if the city city business friendly enough. >> prop c changes nothing about ty needs to first rethink ss its approach to homelessness before it attacks businesses. >> we've already dramatically increased what we spend on homelessness over the last ten years by hundreds of millions of dollars a year. the problem has not gotten better. >> reporter: london agreed also opposes prop c and would like more time to make sure the measure doesn't come with unintended consequences. >> i also want to make sure we protect plaintiffing jobs, retail jobs and others that aren't necessarily tech. >> reporter: i asked marc benioff if he thinks jobs tech or otherwise will leave san francisco from prop c passes he unequivocally said no. since he's been so visible about the proposition, i asked him if he had any political ambitions of his own and he said he will never are up for public office. back to you. >> kate, thanks very much. still to come, a man seen wielding two clain saws on b.a.r.t. what happened aftershock

i agree with jack dorsey and the mayor, taxing is not the way to go.g the revenue, what do you do with the revenue? potentially you could have the businesses move out. so i agree on that point. but you know, the good part of this argument is the fact that they're speaking about it. connell: right. >> there is all these different articles coming out how bad it really is. i think hopefully we get a better solution. connell: to that point, jonathan, what is the solution? do you have free market solutions that would play better than what they're talking about. >> the most easy solution, the one that would cost citizens of seattle nothing deregulate building restrictions and regulations prohibit anything over anything from two or three stories to be built. tremendous influx of people with money want to live there, and not a lot of building, supply versus demand. that is why there is scarcity of housing in so many left coast countries, areas, there is tremendous demand and regulations from government keeps that new, lower cost housing being built. connell: i

twitter ceo and founder, jack dorsey, very interesting, twitter, itself, remains neutral.de statements in the past saying, i'm sure that the mayor is handling this. the mayor is against raising this tax on companies. it is six of one and half dozen of the other. a lot of the business leaders say, it is hard for us to recruit if we are recruiting people to these cities where they don't feel safe or their families don't feel safe. the other side is this is not business's responsibility and that the money that has been given towards addressing these problems in the past has not been used efficiently. we will see what happens on november 6th. >> neil: there you, deirdre. california gets the representation for being the bluest of blue states. it isn't entirely. there is a red pocket there the democrats are convinced they can turn blue and fast after this. ♪ when the moon hits your eye ♪ like a big pizza pie ♪ that's amore ♪when the world seems to shine ♪like you've had too much wine ♪ that's amore ♪ bells will ring ♪ ting a ling a ling ♪ ting a ling a ling more to love. applebe

what is jack dorsey saying he would pay way more than other ceos?se revenues are figure d. companies like square, he's not talking about twitter, but square, which is a payment's company and stripe and others, which have been against this, would pay more percentagewise given how their revenue is figured. they want to not pay more than, say, sales force does. so that's -- it's just a debate over how much taxes you pay pretty much, between these companies. >> so are they saying we would support prop c if it was adjusted so we won't be paying more than, let's say, bennyoff or they're simply saying no, don't raise taxes? >> i think it's the former. but i think the issue is what responsibility tech has for the massive homeless issue in san francisco which is -- i don't know if you've been there but it's really out of control and really depressing and sad and tragic given how much well tl wealth there is in the companies largely from tech which have come in, jacked up housing prices. you know, people want to live in the city, and so it's a real problem ar
