some native people are very upset that other tribes are disenrolling people. and this also oftentimes has to do with money. >> now, in terms of another stereotype, i think, americans as a whole understand that there are many native americans who live outside the reservation and i understand the word that's used in the community is usually the res, not the reservation, but if you do look at the people who live on the res, they are not 100% enrolled members of a particular tribe. there's more diversity there than people would expect? >> yeah, this is true. and i should -- i should say, gary, i never say res 'cause i'm nonnative. and i sort of think that's a native word to say, even though i say reservation because it has morselbles. it seems appropriate too me as an outsider. >> i'll follow your lead. [laughter] >> but what happens sometimes, too, is that i didn't realize that so many nonnative people lived on reservations. and mostly non -- nonnative white people because they bought their property from the homestead act and other federal properties that basical

vote for people who are. encouraging poor people to vote. like welfare recipients and what have you heard unemployed people but it sure well the idea of it was to harangue them into supporting redistributionist politicians so if poor people vote what happens is they elect officials who will take money from wealthy people and give it to them as our say and they will support redistribution of wealth policies that redistribute wealth you know i'm not i'm not trying to debate this whole you know i don't understand how to get to the essence of this so you've got a lot of poor people and they vote for politicians and those politicians pursue redistributionist economic policies welfare or taxes on the rich money comes from the rich because the poor people those poor people are no longer poor right know because they go to the money now if you encourage people to go on welfare they will stay poor you should not be encouraging people to to be on the dole to be unproductive so eventually you know you don't believe that

people. and i think that each of those sets of people have their own sets of issues. i just don't, i just don't see the point in trying to make it into a contest. >> host: ellis cose, let's take a point to talk about your second book, a nation of strangers. if you could tie him with what you sing and tell is the thesis. >> that's basically a book about the immigration history of the united states, beginning in the 1700s, 1790s, our first naturalization act, which limited naturalization to those who were free and white. it's a look at how in some ways we have changed our definitions as we move through the years, of what a minority is and what white is. there was a period during the turn of the last century who are looking at immigration laws where italians and other southern and eastern europeans were by some definition not considered wise and certainly jews were not considered white for many americans, knight-ridder's history of testing of psychometrics which tries to make the case that they

to be honest, people pigeonhole people. that is evident. i think it is part of our overall culture but it definitely in the business i work in, if you are successful and one thing, people will tend to assume that is the only way you can be a success. i was on a funny tv show. after that everyone wanted to put me on another funny tv show. it did not interest me very much even though i had a great time. i love all of those people. i did not want to do it again. i quit and i always wanted to go to college. when i came back, i wanted to do things it would challenge me as an actor and some independent movies and stuff. a lot of people did not believe that was something i could do. luckily a few people did. some people took a chance on me. tavis: that is great to step away and get an education and come back and hope it will work the second time around. >> you have to be able to let go. it is not going to go the right way, forcing something never works. tavis: batman, anything you can tell me? >> well, it is written and directed by christopher nol

sitting in their living rooms will see it will motivate younger people will motivate people who follow you tube and these things going viral does have that ironic effect however you know there has to be something else you saw it with troy davis when i was posing with african-americans of all economic stripes it's got to be that kind of own face attack me at my base level thing to get people out in the streets that's what happened wisconsin because people's jobs literally were at stake and you know here it's a little more indirect it's really interesting we also saw you know the new york times and their coverage of it they have been covering this to an extent but one of their main big articles about this with essentially entirely about the lack of organization i think a lot of the protesters out there would agree that there is that but again and i think the big point in marseille and let me talk to you i think you're a native new yorker i think your accent might say that on and i pretty sure i right you. from. one of the boroughs but you know new york city is the place where fifty of th

we have people living in garages, people renting rooms. people say that there is a parking problem. we have a housing problem in district 11. it is hard for a city like san francisco to deal with, but we have to figure out how we can improve the housing situation for these people living in the sub standard situations. >> what about the issue of homelessness? what are your ideas on dealing with this? >> we have a long-term plan to combat homelessness through a continual of care. it looks at economics, housing stock, health care support, and all those pieces need to be part of our deal with homelessness in san francisco. on the public health side, we need to make sure we have services that are going to help people stabilize their lives, how they can access mental health services, substance abuse services. a lot of people on the street are suffering from a disease of alcoholism, drug dependency. a lot of them are there because they have lost their jobs, housing. some of them are there because of hiv. that is one cause -- one part of the homeless population, but also, being homeless mak

or is it working against the interests of those of the people those people don't like i would argue the latter and that he wants to further make the system rigid make social mobility even more difficult and he wants to enhance the government and hence the government's friends in this corporate state this government big government big corporation rule that's he wants to increase that at the expense of the rest of us and it's a very vicious program he's proposing but how is he doing now by saying that the that the wealthiest in this country need to take more taxes not less and that the people who make under two hundred fifty thousand shouldn't have to pay more taxes i mean you know we actually saying that the u.s. government the biggest richest most powerful government in the history of the world the average government employee you've got making twice what the average citizen makes we're supposed to think they don't have enough money they got too much money for too much money so the idea that anybody's taxes should be increased and let's remember taxes are the government puts a gun to

so, views of jewish people or italian people or black people, they had the same prejudices applied, and when you have society under great economic stress or turmoil, these tensions, people are tribal, and i think the great strength of organizations like the naacp of that year was to not go the route of markus who wanted to be tribal for black people. we're going to move to africa, okay, fine. that tribalism, they rejected it. here's the united states constitution. i get the same rights that you do, and their ability to do that and fight for that in that chaotic situation to me was very, very impressive, and inspiring. i think that i was part of writing this book when i started to do the research, i thought they'll be an element of atonement, a white guy, grew up in america, white man, but the more i did the research for this book, the motion i felt myself with these americans who i wish i knew more about earlier in my life who were doing this amazing work. >> can you describe how you first became aware of this vast way of racial violence in the year 1919 and your thought process when yo

out and the oligarchs like the government don't like these people they don't like new people coming up and moving up from within the social hierarchy as well as in the economy they like to crush them so they're going to have more taxes on the other job creators the wealth creators in fact taxes are wealth destruction so anybody proposes more taxes seeks to make us poorer as a group however the elites will make a lot more money out of this the government's going to do for on all the government the job holders that obama's been wanting us to weep over her make twice as much by the way as the average american taxpayer cops firemen teachers and so forth government construction workers make twice or more than twice but the average guy makes so about talking about that kind of class where warfare he actually wants to help the ruling class and stick it to the productive process will certainly lose there are some teachers in construction workers that make six figure salaries but i would argue that in the jordie of than you know our right there in you know the fifty's and sixty's and for a fami

study in their living rooms will see now it will motivate younger people it will motivate people to follow you tube and these things going viral does have that ironic effect but however you know there have to be something else you saw it was troy davis it was posing with african-americans of also economic stripes it's got to be that kind of owns attack me at my base level to get people out in the streets that's what happened wisconsin because people's jobs literally were at stake and you know here it's a little more in the red that was georgetown university journalism professor chris chambers and rap artist and activist marcel cartier. and we also want to get the perspective of other people who attended because there are so many takes and experiences from the occupy wall street protest and of course all this has been going on now lawmakers in washington are not occupying anything except for a whole lot. of the american people's time and patience now senate leaders of just come to an agreement just down the street here on capitol hill that will prevent a government shutdown however t

people. solely with people that kind of background really. well it's not forget it's a dream court actually did state two executions in the state of texas recently a right we have a case of doing back in and just today. it was one more for a cleaner faster so i guess things are always possible but we're not sure here but you know another thing happened today which is two lawmakers from the state of georgia one senator and one representative they're now asking those who work in the prison to strike or to hold the sickout so basically they have nothing but just the bare bones minimum amount of employees there to morrow have never seen anything like that done before. not that i know i mean it seems sort of unlikely i mean i doubt that they're going to if they could get even if you know a couple people decided to do that i doubt they could get enough to actually not be able to carry forth with the execution but i mean i think there is a you know a real kind of central point to be made here and that is that. i mean it's the people pushing for davi

and we still scare some people a bit. people are not used to this unmediated environment. as long as you drink water, you are probably going to be ok. there is not a lot of criminal activity. everyone is really over provided for. to meet the survival challenge, they oversupplied. superfluous goods that people end up giving away to one another. there is really not a lot of crime. there is too much to do. [laughter] >> could you talk more about that factor, that there is an abundance of good, which is interesting, being in the desert. the economic system that is up there. we talked a long time ago for a "for a magazine" story. one of the things that you said is that commerce, in an of itself, is not the enemy. it is the backbone of civilization. >> to be against commerce is to be against your clothing. who would be against commerce? we just said we are living in a world that has been overly come modified. where everything has been turned into a commodity value. people do not have the identities. we are world full of brands and no identity. you can read your entire life -- yo

and he never lost that as president yet he has a great feeling to people and people meet him one on one it's amazing they'll tell you about and of course very successful as campaign young people felt that he's making changes and even today with a deep recession a tough recession he's still very optimistic you have to be optimistic because everybody's got we're going through a recession so you have to know there's light at the end of the tunnel but we're going to get there people rush to the often bama to kennedy and well you would of course say they're different can't compare people because if you start each one has their own identity their own character they're all ideas of what their president should do but most importantly they understand the great sacrifice that former presidents have made to the country and i can't speak for him but he's taken a part of all of them that some way have made a wonderful contribution all the presidents to our country in the world do you think michelle obama has her own political ambition could could could could she be like like hillary clinton numb

and then get all of the people -- people of means, take them to that. then the whole neighborhood comes in. maybe bring in glass blowers and show them how to make things, work with the people. i have not talked to anybody, so i do not want to get ahead of myself. but you see the strategy i am talking about that goes right to the root of community. that engages everyone as a participant. and i do not just mean, here you go, susie. cut this, and we will slap it on. you participated. in the new year, we are going to be ready with things you want to do. we want them to be expressive, interactive, collaborative. i do not know if everyone is an artist, but they can express themselves. >> i look forward to that. some credi>> what is burning a's relationship right now with empire, nixon, burlap? how has that evolved over time, do you have twitter set up with them? >> we have been out there for 20 years. we know the folks out there.

the government registers people. you don't have to turn in a paper form, and it's not on the individual, and because it's automatic, more people are registered and more people end up voting so technology can be really a good in terms of increasing access, or it can be bad in terms of manipulating rules. >> host: do you trust electronic voting machines? >> guest: i think there's safeguards we need with electronic voting machines. we need certainly awe gets -- audits, we need backup systems. we need much more monitoring of private companies and venders. i think vegas, you know, they have electronic machines 234 terms of their gaming machine, and there are people who are on the inside, you know, who ma nip plait some of the machines, people who have been caught and imprisoned; right? as a result they have procedures to check folks who work on these machines and so like a slot machine, and it's important we have structural checks to ensure that there's not tampering, fraud, or no problems. >> host: you use the word "but

people of libya. nato is a foreign power that is well recognized and it's a radical power. if they spend a single dollar doing these interventions they expect to gain a hundred dollars in profits. allow me to continue. you said in 1979 there was a popular revolution in iran. >> charlie: there was. >> beautiful. you do accept that premise. now, during t last 32 years, which government has stood against this popular revolt, against this islamic revolution? is it anyonether than the european powers in the united states. >> charlie: were you on the side of the people who i the streets of tehran protesting an election? you weren't on their side. >> yes, i was. yes, i was. >> charlie: you were on their sidehe people who were protesting the elections, some of them who were -- >> yes, why not. they demonstrated. they made their positions clear and the judiciary went through the proper channels in order to make their open position clear. if our relationship isot very -- see when i go in the street i don't stop

anything for the people of bahrain it did apparently do something for the people of libya will see that was a good idea in the longer term but what about your country what about yemen would you like to see a no fly zone for example ok ok peter let me just compare and contrast libya and yemen yes i would like to see and not fly zone but we don't want any aircraft to be actually in the in the in the air hitting people or hitting our you know some sports in the ground we just want unauthorized on like it was once i mean you cannot have a no fly zone without military force i'm sorry it's impossible not to i don't know they had it in iraq they had it in iraq come on. peter just what i meant we don't know. no no no that's simply wrong let me. jump in let's remember let's remember what the no fly zone in iraq meant no fly zone in iraq meant the destruction of rebel forces in the course of the game are the. prize. in the south it meant the attack on the kurds in the north after the first gulf war it was the preparation for sanctions it became the preparation for the for the military interventio

in the white house but it's the people who are sitting in in places so the people in the park actually have war potential to create change than those in power and i have been to believe that because what they are doing is awakening a consciousness in america and a lot of people who have felt isolated who have felt fearful who lost hope maybe after the two thousand and eight election are finding that you know we're not going to get what we want from one man who we elect but we might get something if we all band together and start to create changes as you know as as a people but do you buy this notion that they have to look more professional look more put together that respect only khans when you're wearing a suit me what is that setting from the rest of the disdain and left over from the sixty's i feel like we have enough people in suits running this country. yeah i mean it does seem to be that to me sounds like a class based elitist type of a sentiment and i would say that. where that would come from is from people who actually do consider themselves to be part of the establishment who

but if you let people loose in an environment -- people will always give to a greater gift. it is just a principle. if a group get together to give a gift to an entire city, it is easy to find people who will give to that. and the consequence is, you can learn a lot. talk about a networking opportunity. but nobody ever went there to network. they went out there to give their energy, imagination, their heart to something. >> there is that collaboration, the cross-disciplinary thing that happens out there, but i also feel like there is a bit of a sense of competition. people are trying to outdo each other, try to outdo each other trt impressive thing. >> that is human nature. i read a few years ago somebody complaining, i remember the good old days. you could put up a pink flamingo in front of your tent and it was cool. now with all of these big projects, i feel few tile -- futile. well, they learned the wrong lesson. the interesting thing is, people say that they are connected, but in an environment like that, it is easy to get connected. it is easy to get help. unless you in

this is something that people would like. another popular trend -- i do not know if the camera can catch it, but below here, so people would roll up their towels. >> this also allows you to have one more step toward aging in place and accessibility. if you ever need to roll a wheelchair in, you have an opportunity here. >> absolutely. >> this does not have an overflow. is that required? >> overflows are not technically required. >> what i mean is one of the little holes like this where the city will run out so it will not spill out onto the floor. >> they are practical and important to have, but they are not a code requirement. if you have children or something, you might want to have an overflow. if you are comfortable having one without, then you would have that choice. >> i was particularly intrigued by this sink. i know the manufacturers were up this year. this is made out of some extremely heavy duty class. here is bob, who is the rep from oceana who manufactures this thing. this is not the type of sync that would set on

of iran like the people of tunisia like the people of egypt like the people of yemen in bahrain all of them want freedom all of them one avoids all the of tired of corrupt dictatorships who massacre their own people in the case of gadhafi he says there's no evidence he massacred his own people listen to the words of khadafi himself when he said we will find you in your closets we will show no mercy this is a man who was threatening to massacre virtually everyone in benghazi and beyond he says it's all about a new imperial design look whatever games the western powers or russia are playing we i'm happy to discuss with you but no one should doubt this is an indigenous movement of people who are seeking their own freedom this pilot makes a very different from the war in iraq which i was very much opposed to the united states impose its will on the ground these are people who are asking for their own freedoms and the west has been very late to support their cause i'm glad we are in georgia if i can ask you i mean there is an element of hypocrisy here we've already heard it i mean why no

detroit used to be a very diverse city people lived downtown people walked people took the tram in a sense it was one of the most european cities in its design densely populated easy to get about and it had a very very good public transportation system grand central or grand station. was simply the hub of that the epicenter of of the trains and the trams that ran all around the city. so when the automobile. basically came to be general motors saw. the trolleys and the public transportation as competition for their new product and in order to eliminate it basically bought up that industry and saw to that it was not going to be around so the people in detroit were basically forced into the automobile. we're drawn to the chopping block in general motors it will kill you in the situation tell us the next round of layoffs could come of this month g.m. said it would cut ten dollars of its seventy three thousand salary positions just like he wants to since. the early sixty's sixty two three four five six those are what i call the innocent years you know people begin to make good money thing

but there are certain people out there who run people out of their, throw a limb in jail, giving people tickets, dragging off their cars -- throwing people in jail, giving people tickets, dragging up their cars. that is part of the game to push us out. >> a lot of our children are foster care. what are we doing about them? we know that a lot of the young men are committing these crimes. how are we addressing milk? -- how are we addressing them? you can get it easier than you can get an apple. that is not our fault, and we are trying to change that. we need liquor stores to be better neighbors because the people hanging in front of liquor stores are not buying milk and bread. they are buying cups of liquor, by a cigarette. they are doing other things. we are trying to make sure that people understand that if you have a liquor store, you can provide other services as well. looking at the best liquor stores and saying that this is a good standard. we want liquor stores to be like this throughout the city, good neighbors. we are trying to take back our streets, get different uses, and peopl

that the people who work for a living in this country, we are the people. not the people up here who are taking people's pensions and their bank accounts and ruining it and destroying their lives. this is -- they are not running this country anymore. they think they are, but that's going to come to an end right now. >> okay, michael. stand by. we're going to take a break right here. we're going to be back with more with michael moore right after this break. instead of getting to know you they simply assign you a number. aviva is here to change all that. we're bringing humanity back to insurance and putting people before policies. aviva life insurance and annuities. we are building insurance around you. and here's what we did today: supported nearly 3 million steady jobs across our country... ... scientists, technicians, engineers, machinists... ... adding nearly 400 billion dollars to our economy... we're at work providing power to almost a quarter of our homes and businesses... ... and giving us cleaner rides to work and school... and tomorrow, we could do

which is what people invariably did. it was a very effective way of refraining power relations to make it seem uncertain claims to the extent that probably most people who ever lived and at some point in their lives, it is also the focus of the vast majority of insurrections and rebellions. moses finley once said there is basically one revolutionary program in all of antiquity. the council of antiquity and readers that. in that order. that reply, wait a minute of who knows what to do, does happen all the time. but once you say that you are using the language of debt so people were stuck with the argument of what is debt and who knows what to whom. the great moral philosophers had to start with that language if only to then try to kick it away. >> you mentioned the jubilee. when pat robinson was running for president in 1988 he suggested we should have a jubilee in that tradition which qualified him as a serious candidate for president. prompted a stern lectures in the wall street journal editorial page. that tradition, c

people to do this in that way." it was like a bunch of little battling sects. and what's changed that's really exciting is that there's this collective sense of we need to honor all pathways to recovery. and i think csat actually deserves a lot of credit for that with the national summit on recovery. when people stood up there with people who had recovered "the wrong way" and said, "this is not my pathway, but i honor and accept that." that's when the recovery movement started to become a force because if you don't divide yourself then you have the ability to influence lots of other people and that's very important because this is a health problem and nobody ever says about cancer, "you know, oh, you got better on tomaxafin instead of chemotherapy, how sad." they say, it's great. you've recovered from cancer. and that's what we should say. everybody who recovers from these disorders, we should hug them, celebrate them, be very, very happy. and we do during recovery mont. that's right. yes. may i say something about

income tax on upper income people and these are people whose who get that. we we we can't continue to have lower and lower rates on upper income people my what what would be fair to them that would be fair i mean we can say we're all saying that you know it's not as easy to say the tax the rich tax them or what but how much more what would you do ok so the first thing i would do is make capital gains on par with regular income not advantage that income stream and dividends as well i would raise make the taxes you know particularly at the upper end go back to the the pre-book levels you know and that would account for quite a bit in terms of income and you know i think at some point we may want to look at even more progressive taxes i also think we need to have a stronger estate tax you know it's it's been weakened but if you made a lot of money in this country you did it with a lot of government support a lot of society support when you go to hand that money on to the next generation you should pay a significant chunk of that and estate tax has been weakened

shouldn't change bird will think it will reach a motor people like accepting that people can be different in about ten minutes time watch what people on the streets of the big apple have to say about nine eleven ten years after the terrorist attack rocked the city. if you have something to share on the subject log on to our website to participate in our latest poll here that's argue dot com and today we're asking the question what there's not a lot in need of food now ten years on and so far the most popular response is a convenient pretext to invade iraq and afghanistan. conspiracy from rob americans of their freedoms comes a close second and as some of you say it means a tragedy the nation must learn to let go as an enemy attack the u.s. will never allow to happen again we'll just go to our dot com and sure your opinion . seems to me at least some people. have a. look back at nine eleven. president obama has pleaded with voters to support his half trillion dollar package of spending cuts aimed at creating jobs and stimulating the sluggish economy with almost ten percent of americans cur

i get to enforce with my people. this is mentoring people. this is client contact.ery much. >> thank you very much. >> he may not actually pick up a pair of scissors, but he's hands-on in just about every other way. >> i understood this was crazy. a lot of people don't get it. it's a very different world. and people forget and people make friend on wall street, they say they get it. they don't get it. you're making seven figures, you don't get it. >> his wall street friend may not get it, but his family certainly does. >> what does your family think about your career change? >> i was surprised that they were incredibly proud of me. one son came and set up the computers for me. the other one came out, he took coupons and went door to door to businesses and started handing out coupons. my daughter and brought her friend from high school. she wanted to show her friends what her dad had done. i was beaming. >> ten years ago on september 11th, 2001, when he began his morning commute, the ticket he purchased bought him more than just a seat on the train. >> kr do you keep

people do change. from my observation of the victims' family members, and nothing that there is anything that execution can do for them. i think they come there with high hopes that they will somehow feel better, and that they will somehow be able to close this event, and you just -- it just does not happen. these are horrifying crimes. my heart goes out -- out to the victims' families. >> would you say that the instances -- instances of the executions, or any of these meritorious? did you see someone put to death that he thought was innocent? >> not in the cases that i dealt with. the things i oversaw, and guilt or innocence was not a question. in one case, it was the intention and not whether they were innocent or guilty of the crime. >> nevertheless, you arrive with the same feelings that the man from mississippi talked about, having gone through this process. >> i arrive at the same conclusion. i started at san quentin in 1978, after graduating. i went there, a small number of us had college degree

people began to small rat. this is distasteful. -- people begin to smell a rat. it ignores some of the data. in san francisco, seniors are disproportionately the pedestrians who were injured and injured severely. when you make seniors are people with disabilities walk, they have to cross one or two more intersections. you are not looking at this has a two are putting them through. you're not looking at the fact that when people are at two stops and it is consolidated, they're clustered more. that may mean some of us who are not as fast and agile do not get on the bus. there is double the number of passengers. that is one of the problems you are overlooking and is not part of ceqa. i will suggest you need to do that. mission high school students last may suggested there may be some stocks added. they saw places in the mission that were destinations for them and muni has no clue. >> that is the last person who wishes to address you on this matter. >chairman nolan: is there motion? all in favor? thank you. it is nice to see you. >> item 15, discussion and vote to co

say where were you then of course people here saying where are you now with people really wanting to come to the street and make a change and make their voices heard and yet instead of concentrating on domestic problems israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been focused on the international stage on september the twenty fifth palestinians will go to the united nations to declare a state and it in yahoo has responded by arming sitters and trying to convince countries not to support the palestinian move instead of listening to the discounted messes at home. and israeli quality campaign you did open home or told r.t. that people there are demanding more from their government to be a social. security provider. people are demanding social justice even in a time of political and political tension and even that took place in. the country people are questioning that the government that this is. the economy is slowly sheen so so it matched girls called if you will and so little for the many i think people have seen and you have them in. creates no hope in this function in every live g

before people use to guess and estimate about, you know, the census and where people live to and taking data from lists and putting it on the map and that kind of thing. now politicians are much more efficient in terms of trying maps. so on one hand it empowers politicians and on the other hand people can actually draw their own maps. i mean, there is -- you know, technology democratizes this to a certain extent because people can draw their own maps. there are other uses of technology. for example, many countries in the world have voter registration modernization which means that the government register's people. you don't have to turn and some paper form, and it is not on the individual to be because it is automatic more people are registered, and more people end up voting. technology can be a good in terms of increasing access, or it can be bad in terms of manipulating rules. >> do you trust electronic voting machines? >> i think that there are certain safeguards that we need to have in terms of electronic voting machines. we need certainly audits in terms of electronic voting machin

black people are the only people that have a race. everybody has a race, but a black president has a special burden. to answer your question directly, i think the barack obama has satisfied realistic expectations. some people truly did have unrealistic expectations. there were some people who really sort of swept up and had some sort of hopes. >> host: even as a savior. >> guest: they did. there was this sense that the day after he was sworn in there was going to be a new blank page and that everything was going to be completely different. wellcome has he fulfilled that? no. but of course, that was naive expectations. i.t. if you're going to talk about black america i think most black americans actually had a more realistic notion. they recognized number one that he was inheriting tremendous difficulties especially with the economy. they recognized that as a black politician he would be scrutinized more than a white politician with respect to racial policies. >> host: remember there are disproportionate numbers in every sector between

i guess he's worried about people he doesn't really like, not just people with germs. now for the big number. there's another face-off going on in congress and this one has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with gaining a following via twitter. and it looks like republicans are gaining the lead. with 86% of the house republicans getting the word out in 146 characters or less to just 75% of house democrats. but some members seem to be going to the extreme route here. which member of congress do you think is the most frequent to tweet? that would be california republican darrell issa, with an average of 13.6 tweets a day. 13.6, nobody else even reaches the double digits per day. that's 13.6 tweets a day by darrell issa out in california. that's tonight's big number. up next, conservatives want to muzzle warren buffett by saying his taxes are lower than they should be. he's become conservative enemy number one by speaking the truth about the tax code in this country, the tax code under which the rich have gotten richer and the poor struggle. when you pour c
