for a social movement to succeed, i do think you need to connect with middle america to a certain degree and people watching. if they agree with the sentiment, the sentiment here is an 80% proposition in this country, and that is that wall street and corporate america has gotten too much power, and they quite frankly have abused it. they abused it in the last few years. they have too much influence in the political system. i think independents are down with that. i think they understand that, but i think the challenge here is to make the connection with people beyond your -- you know, the anarchist drum circle types who are there, and a good comparison is what happened in wisconsin where you had demonstrations by teachers, fire fighters and police officers and others who really sort of brought the -- the -- the surrounding community in and supported them, and they channeled a lot of electoral power that really caused a problem for the republican governor walker. >> a lot of people are home on their sofa and in their lounger and say do i see myself there? do i see anyone with whom i have

i'm not looking at a picture of middle america right now. even in washington yesterday van jones, the former energy adviser to president obama who had to resign because he -- you know, he sign add petition saying that perhaps george bush started 911 and had tied to a marxist society in san francisco was the lead over ter of the protests i washington, d.c. i think they have to be careful with how they align not the cause but with the protesters. >> the tea party certainly has given a number of headaches to the republican party. look at what's happening right now. a lot of mainstream republicans concerned about the influence they're having in the primary process, and they believe delaying the party coalescing behind the candidate. >> sure. the tea party is giving republicans. but look how they did it. they didn't hold rally after rally. surely i'm sure this is what the democrats are hoping these protesters would do. instead of living in a park, what they did was went out and registered people. they took to the streets. i mean that's a much mor

, but they are appealing to a lot of middle america.w ron paul supporters that support this. >> but the mayor of new york is saying look, you guys are blocking the park. people are protesting. >> but that's just one incident in new york. i think the fact these are popping up all over the place, you see everywhere people that have never been politically involved to ron paul supporters to people on the left. this is 99% versus 1%. >> the mainstream is concerned about a lot of their issues. but keep reaching for that. i mean, don't get into this leftwing routine with every american seeing those kinds of demonstrations. i was at the battle of seattle. >> i was there, too. >> good movement. 50,000 were marching. then the crazy and ar kisses show up, roll trash through starbuck's, looks like a bunch of and archists, it destroyed the whole thing and it was a solid movement against globalization. they better watch for exactly that possibility. >> pat buchanan, jennifer palmiieri. we have live developments next. . we have live developments next.

they talk about corporate greed, inequality, foreclosure, a lot of issues that middle america thinks ry day but they're out there in 100 cities in america who is listening to the message? mayors listen. is washington listening? i question is washington listening to the message as being given out throughout america. >> an incident last night, police had to get involved. reprehensible attack by the boston police department against a movement that enjoys broad support of the american people represents a sad and disturbing shift away from dialogue and towards violent repression. is your city, mr. mayor, are you practicing violent repression? >> no, we're not practicing violent repression at all. we gave them a designated area, told them where they could stay and they violated that agreement. they went down further on the greenway. we said we cannot have them go further down the greenway for a lot of different reasons. and they said we're going to do whatever we want to do, and that's unfortunate because the group that i've been working with, my police dp over the last week and a half, has

spreads and as more people pay attention to it, that it figures out in the right way to talk to middle americand to talk to people sitting at home in their living rooms watching about it on tv. that right way is basically to say to people we're like you. we are you. we're middle class. we're working class people who have the same struggles that you have and we're out here representing you. as opposed to some other kind of -- there is this historical thing on the political left. whatever you want to call it. sort of an angrier or harder edged kind of posture. it's just my hope that that kind of thing is avoided and that they speak more openly and humanely to regular americans. >> that's interesting in so many ways. a, because some interpret that as you saying they should conform to some ideal of what we see as middle class or middle america as we so often like to say or the average joe. which in america, we don't even know what that person looks like anymore. that's the first thing. >> right. >> you talk about the anger. at the beginning of the tea party, i don't have to tell you, they were hol

and they blocked brooklyn bridge which means middle america will say what are you doing? they're attacking cops and that's stupid. they're identifying themselves as the radical left, and that's one reason barack obama is steer clear of them if he's smart. if he embraces these folks, Ñih better watch what $q@6#rr:hremi transpired in london a few months an, with an uprising -- >> i don't think we have to reach over to london. i don't think we have to go back to the 80s or 90s. the more recent analogy is the tea party movement, which erupted in kind of anger which is directed at government. these are voices, if you will, more from the populous left of the tea party is the right, and they're angry at the banks and wall street, and i think they have a number of concerns. they have the concern of people who are out of work. they have concerns of people who are getting pink slips and who are looking at wall street and seeing them taking home fat salaries, while main street isn't doing well. and i think the political climate is perfect for the president coming out with his jobs b

that's virtually criminal trying to threaten the people of middle america, with mob violence, that's extremely bad behavior. >> that's exactly what he's saying. when you pars through this, it's more than cops. he's saying we have a bad economy, people are going to start doing bad things and here is the thing-- >> and is he saying that-- >> that's not what he's saying. >> wait, wait. everyone is right here. and charles from the outset. he was speaking to police in b benevolent association, and he was saying the police were compromised and spoke to the-- you know, that we have higher jobless rate, a higher likelihood of seeing-- >> and is that so-- >> and so, adam, what do you make of those fear factors? >> well, the scare tactics are nothing new and by the way, they're not -- the democrats have no exclusivity on scare tactics. i mean in the last administration, we had administration using scare tactics. >> ten seconds to get back to the last administration. >> to its citizens, why not go back? because we have to say more as usual. >> why don't we leave miller out. >> i'm sure he was p

income mobility from the bottom to quit college up into the middle of america up into the middle income is actually greater mobility in europe than it is in america today suite by income mobility santorum is referring to how likely likely it is that someone who was born poor can make their way into the middle or upper class throughout their life that's essentially what the american dream is all about that anyone no matter how poor they were born can make it and unfortunately same form is right among all the developed nations in the world and united states has the lowest rate of social mobility as in we were last in the so-called american dream and according to research done by k. pickett in richard work with wilkinson with your quality trust in the u.k. research we've talked a lot about on the show the greatest factor behind social mobility is wealth inequality as in the less equal a nation is the harder it is to move from being poor to being rich. and just like our nation ranges dead last in social mobility we also rated last and wealth inequality in the developed world not something t

he just needs to stand with middle america, with middle class americans. people -- how many millions of their mortgages are under water right now? how many are facing foreclosure? how many millions don't have health insurance as we sit here right now tonight? i mean, this is the middle of the country. and that, if people sense that he is going to act on their behalf, not just give a speech but actually act on their behalf in this last year that he has, then he has an excellent chance. the republicans know they're in trouble. that's why they're supporting all of these voters, suppression laws around the country making it hard next year for people to register and to vote. you don't try to make it difficult for people to vote when you think the majority of the people are on your side. they know, the republicans know the majority of the people are on the side of the things that democrats and liberals and the left and president obama said that he believed in. that's where he should stay. he should be right there. but not just saying it but actually he's got a y

how do we get the jobs back to middle america?, we create an environment where it makes sense and it's reassuring to risk capital. where it makes sense for that small business to expand, for a large business to grow. and we have not created that environment here. we have so much uncertainty because we have a massively unsustainable deficit, a trajectory that absolutely is guaranteed -- we have a threat of huge across the board tax increases. we've layered on all unprecedented levels -- >>-up, pat, over the past decades, we've had massive tax cuts, and even in the 1990s, we fought for tax cuts when bill clinton was president. and you see where we got to in 2008. just simply cutting tax cuts and cutting regulations are not going to cure america's ills any more than a tax program. >> i prefer the individual and the corporate side, but there seems to be increasing consensus about the corporate side, for instance. so for just a moment, we have all kinds of wrong incentives. we have the second highest marginal corporate tax rate in the

middle america, big picture, middle america has been very much squeezed in the past four years. heather: so fallen nearly 10 percent. why is that? why is income down? >> several reasons: number one, we have inflation. gas prices are up, food prices are up, health care costs are up, sharply, in fact. that erodes your purchasing power, your spending power. number two, if you lost your job in the recession but you got another job soon after it, that next job, the second job, probably paid a whole lot less than your first job did. third, there are million of people who are still unemployed. that puts pressure on the labor market. it means that hourly wages don't go up that much. and number four, the polices to deal with this have not created economic growth for the private sector. four reasons why income is, in fact, falling. heather: thank you very much for the good news! we appreciate it, stu. >> sure. bill: he stumbles upon it every once in a while. we have to encourage him, though! stuart is an optimistic man. it's just been a difficult road for three years. thank you stuart. >>
