dislike the way that it's gone that it's gone and that kind of trying mission kind of ethos of robin hood style vigilantism but other people feel that actually this is the protest style of the future when we're living in an age where we live our lives online we all have online identities through social networks facebook and twitter we outsource so much of what we do to google we think through google now we need to remember something we just google it now and and this kind of style of online disruption of causing a stir of getting attention i think anonymous is really in many ways leading the way that people will do that in the future and just kind of exploring the whole new territory of how we cause a stir how we get attention through the internet now. very interesting commander x. was actually on our show a couple weeks ago and he was saying you know of course that interview that came out where he said anonymous is the most powerful organization in the world potentially and you know do you think that. some members who claim to be anonymous push or somehow give the justification to the go

at a time when we have a budget deficit and so many people in need in america, this is reverse robin hoodsident gave a lecture about how we found ourselves in the economic predicament we're in now and why the american people are experiencing in the middle class a sense of economic shrinkage, certainly of their buying power and their economic potential. let's listen to that. >> we're recovering from the crisis of 2008, the most urgent order of business is not enough. our economy won't be truly better until we reverse the erosion of middle class jobs and middle class incomes. what makes our economy weak is even fewer and fewer people can buy the goods and services our businesses sell. businesses don't have customers if folks are having such a hard time. there's an ever widening gap between a few folks who are doing extraordinarily well and a growing number of people who no matter how hard they work can barely make ends meet. >> last night on the show, we had the author of the new book, the great divergence. he points out this complementary fact. pretax income increased much faster than repu

. >> eliot: well, that was awfully robin hood-esque of him.o they come from raising taxes on the poor whereas you point out the 400 richers are paying tax rates on average of 15%. i just don't understand. but how do they counter your argument. you made what i think economists would few as a most fundamental argument. lowering the tax rates on capital gains simply did not generate job creation. how did republicans respond to that argument? >> oh, they say we should be lowering if not eliminating capital gains entirely. these are the job creators. and they're not creating jobs. well, you know i'm also chairman of a board of a little company with 25 workers, i'm a job creator. i never in my life said if you lower my tax i'll hire another worker. i hire another worker when i have more customers i have to serve. >> eliot: what you're say something what paul klugman has been saying for years. if we have more demand, job creators producers like you will hire more people. the marginal rate has zero impact. i wish more people would read your column. da

what you see is basically robin hood in reverse. if they're going to do anything like what they say they want to do which is to give big, big tax cuts to those at the top of the scale and not increase the budget deficit, the only way to do that is to cut tons of spending from everybody else. so this is trickle up with a vengeance. >> now, congressman, i'm going to come to you in a minute, but jared let me ask you. we heard romney questioned again and again this weekend if he would support a deficit reduction plan that included tax increases. listen. >> i remember once back during one of the primaries you were asked if you would agree to $1 in taxes if you could get $10 cut in spending cuts. and you said at that time, no i wouldn't even accept that. do you still feel that way? >> well, we all felt that way. government is big and getting larger. and there are those who think the answer is just to take a little more from the american people. the only solution to taming an out of control spending government is to cut spending. >> now, f
