it's exactly going to the point that jonas is making. jonas was talking about not a flat tax. he was talking about a simplified tax. oh, but you'd still have the mortgage deduction. you know he why you have the mortgage deduction? because the whole real estate industry would be lobbying in there because they know if that goes away, they think th, you know, home sales would go down. wh i would love is what steve said, though. get rid of the mortgage deduction. the government should not be in the industry of saying it's better to buy than to rent. get rid of that. get rid of charitable deductions. get rid of all that stuff. make it simple like steve forbes had on the back of an envelope. i would raise my hand and say that would be fantastic. >> i've got to go to jonas. go ahead. >> this scdal exists because you can have a non-profit organization. if there was no such thing as an organization that didt pay taxes and everybody paid the same rate including the scientology church, there wouldn't be this scandal. getting back to the point of the previous guest, you have to move to a

i think it has nor -- >> jonas, bull or bear?k it's safe stocks are too expensive. >> john? >> j-lo is partnering with verizon to hit the latino market. i like verizon, i love j-lo. >> gary b., bull or bear? >> i like them both. but verizon at a lower price. >> neil is up next. >>> well, whoever said that nothing is certain in life but death and taxes apparently forgot one little thin. a job, government. it takes a lot to get fired. when you are forced to step down, it takes a lot for you to lose your pay. welcome everybody. i'm neil cavuto. maybe the first tipoff should have been the s.e.c. workers caught downloading porn. most still kept their jobs. not that there's anything wrong with that. like the official at this center of this irs storm, refusing to answer questions and getting put on paid leave. and a key state department player in the benghazi mess getting a white house nomination for a promotion. we're not saying all government

all we did was add people to the rolls. >> jonas, could you weigh in?> if someon doesn't propose a better plan, tre's no use to going back to the old system. that wasn't a pro hiring plan. companies still had to pay for people's health insurance. look, there's people with too much insurance, believe it or not. some of them aren't in unions and they cost more than single payer plans a are more beneficial. i don't think union members who negotiated these plans want to switch which doesn't have the dental coverage and other coverage wlu work at an investment bank or union. they have the plans that are tax deductible to the company. it is a ridiculous to carve out. it's widely consumed so much health care. this has to be fixed. unfortunately, we didn't address theissues. we extended the private system that currently exists. it's a litt bit worse. i don't think going back to the other way wilmake more hiring out there. >> jonas, we're only talki about insurance here. that's what this plan is all about. only about insurance. you're talking about one end of it

jonas, i know -- >> how about dog food? >> brenda: but basically, basically ordinary americans going to be feeling something from this? >> their satisfaction will be lower. first of all, luckily the big mac doesn't have a lot of beef in it, so they don't have to cut that from the menu. gary is correct in that people will switch out. they go to a filet of fish because that didn't go up and that's what they'll cut. however, in a stronger economy with less slack in the labor market, people don't switch. that's why prices spike more in the real estate boom. we saw gas go up and stay up. we saw alot of commodities. 'cause people are like, i'm stick going to have the angus burger. they're going to switch, which means they're not as happy. now they're having filet of fish. so our satisfaction is lower. that's the impact. >> all right. >> brenda: that's the last word. thanks, guys. and thanks to david for joining us. these guys got busted for tryg to pull off a $45 million atm heist. now get the name protecting your bank funds that

jonas, bull or bear? expensive car. >> the 80% are good clients for lazy boy, up 20% this a year. >> there he goes. toby, bull or bear? >> the only thing lazy here is you and that bone head prediction. >> you know who is not lazy? the hardest working man on tv, neil cavuto, up next >>> cuts of this size made this quickly, lose jobs, slow the growth of our economy. >> sequestration, which has already kicked in, will get worse. >> there is only one way to truly fix the sequester, by replacing it before it causes further damage. >> so much for the further down. so much for any damage. glad to have you. i'm neil cavuto. the economy apparentlyaughing in the face of all that sequestration devastation. those $85 million in automatic spending cuts, not cutting into the job market. not by a long shot. the government reporting 165,000 jobs are added in april. get this, the two prior months were revised to show 100,000 more americans

big time stop from jonas hiller. corey perry from a bad angle.aves off hiller. >> rick: these teams got together in 2009, jonas hiller, a 69-save beauty, triple overtime win against the ducks in joe louis arena. you see what he is facing soç r tonight. and glad you joined us tonight for this one on cnbc, as the duc ducks led 1-0 and 2-1, the red wings responded twice at 13:27 in the third period and brendan smith, his first nhl goal in support of his efforts by the wings. sends it out now, allen roughing up a red wing, and couldn't get the shot through, fired off the side of the goal. cleary reaching for it. winnik, lifts it out. cogliano has the speed to catch up to it. he does. settles down the rolling puck. stopped by beauchemin, and a great save there. what a chance for winnik and the ducks. filppula, back to the red wings. souray, keeps it away from franzen, off the glass, deflected out. no penalty. >> eddie: both coaches getting late here in the first overtime, having to use full complementçf a lineup. thinking hard in the net. and a good

jonas, what do you think?s this the type of thing we're seeing with stocks rising and rising it is scaring investors and stopping them from getting in because they're so burned from '08 or finally is it learning investors in because they have not been it there in much so far. >> no it is not just 08 but 1999 and 2000. a couple of major burns from investors piling in late in the game. that is keing investors out. i'm watching mutual fund flows aggressively but there is not anywhere near the levels was in the '90s. still more money going into bond funds of the it is in the hysteria at this point. doesn't mean stocks are a super bargain necessarily. we're not seeing craziness, oh, this stock is hot i'm getting into it. certainly not with stock fund in general. dennis: okay. jeremy, seems a fundamental point happens where we're no longer afraid of what could go wrong. we're now afraid of missing out on things that are going right. are we at that flex point yet in the markets? >> well i think we're starting to see
