len: 0-2. against the minnesota twins. .467 career e.r.a. len: close. morneau is 3-6 with a double, a homer and four rbis against camp. bob: just missed that outside corner. good place to miss. if you're going to throw that slider leave it off the outside corner. len: right center campana back on it warning track, the leap, he can't get it. willingham around third. morneau to third. we're tied and the winning run is 90 feet away. another triple tonight each team with two. and they have all been big. bob: nice piece of hitting. ball down and out of the strike zone. another strup. just out of the reach of tony campana as he leaps against that wall. under the circumstances that may be a time to be a little more cautious and play it on the carom. len: denard span is going to run for morneau who is at third. here's doumit. infield in. the outfield isn't too deep. bob: i think you're right. campana just missing. len: campana is really deep at center. they are telling him -- emphatically waving his ar

around here, they call him big boss len.nance the project, len and his wife took their dream house, using much of their own money and one donation at a time, aunts, friends, strangers, are pitching in too. he's build hundreds of homes in the u.s., but nothing like this. you've been a contractor for 30 years, where does this rank in fact construction? >> the greatest challenge in my home building career ever. >> soon enough, len became one of the biggest employers around here. hiring crew of 75 in a country with 60% unemployment. the bereaved father now a surrogate to so many. >> you gave up your dreams for your child's dreams? >> yeah. that's what parents are supposed to do. any parent i know that's what they do. >> it's what pall does. several years ago, paul's son, andrew, sigh died suddenly of the flu. he was just 5 years old. >> he was a hilarious kid. by the time he passed away, he had a repper to of 250 songs. >> after andrew's death, paul started a foundation, world vision project, using his skills as an eye surgeon t

so you're not alone, len. i'm in the len camp. when i started out not doing well, and i'm a great believer in progressive taxes, and then i'll go back to being the moderator. scott? >> one more. >> quickly. >> okay. >> please. a lot of people want to talk. >> in terms of fairness, if you go to the store and you buy a product, and they said to you we have one price for rich and another price for poor, everybody in this room would say that's ridiculous. that's not -- but yet when the government taxes you, what are they taxing you? the major purpose of a tax is to raise revenue for paying for government services. and so why should one person have to pay more for government services because they're rich than another person who is poor? and that's essentially what an income tax, and particularly a progressive income tax does. >> scott, you want to jump in here? i've kept you waiting too long. >> scott hodge with the tax foundation. it seems like we really haven't had enough baseline discussion about the progressivity of the current sys

len has some very good charts in his hand. let's say average tax rates by income class, and it gives us some sense at least where we are by some standard. and you can produce other standards that would give you a somewhat different result. but that's very important. i think joe's point that this really narrow focus on the rates i think is really problematic because it's the rates that really contribute significantly to the economic costs of the tax code and the notion that progressivity is defined by how high the rates are i think, one, it's not accurate, and two, it's very counterproductive. i think it leads us down the wrong path, the wrong discussion. so i think that's a problem lately to bear. >> i would agree with that. and it's -- just to retreat to the history for a minute, what is striking is how powerful those rates have always been. you know, that those high-end rates, even when they were in many ways meaningless. in one of the great studies of fdr's tax policy is called "the limits of symbolic reform." >> i think th

this is a point that len made quite clearly. higher rates come at a economic cost the welfare loss associated with higher taxes related to the square of the tax rate. as the rates get higher the drag on the economy gets much, much, larger. relative to the square of the tax rates. to put this into perspective. i have a long career looking at the treasury department and i was involved in analyze iing changing tax rates. when you raise tax rates on high income taxpayers, one way to look at it is what does the revenue take to the government? when they estimate raising the top two rates, they would estimate the revenue gain from raising the top two rates 25% of that gain pick up would be lost due to behavial responses. that gives you a sense from the government's per spspective the cost a sense from the policy-maker's perspective. the effect of high rate s greater for higher income people than lower income people. another aspect of rates is what are they taxing? they are taxing the return to labor and capitol. they have a great affin

len has a book coming out. i think i have the flyer here. yeah, i got a flyer here. taxes in america: what everyone needs to know. and joe has a book coming out, the title will be -- >> "their fair share." >> it's only a rumor that i'm getting a commission on this. [laughter] having said all that, joe, would you start us off? >> all right. well, you know, i've got to say i've got to start by confessing i promised i'd book at so many events, but it really is sometime soon, i hope. chris promised we're going to clear some stuff up, and i don't know if i'm going to clear anything up, actually, i think

i saw your chart when i was looking through len's handout. and it's really a very interesting chart. but then it kind of leads you down a road of whether the folks in washington should attempt to undo the distributional effects of state level policies through the federal tax code. and i think that's kind of a very problematic path to go down in my own view. >> but actually, it's harder for states to have very progressive tax systems because it's actually easier for high income people to avoid state taxes. they can move from oregon to washington if they don't want to pay income taxes, where if we decide collectively that we're going to provide as we want to provide support for lower income people, it's much easier to do it at the lower level. >> eduardo saverin. >> right here. le less snyder. i would like to challenge the emerging convention, the conventional wisdom that the way to reform tax laws is by reducing tax expenditures and lowering the top rates. i think people have selective memory loss because we tried that in 1986. we lowered the
