at the same time it was like a father figure almost i think considered himself a robin hood figure. who used the cash he made from much of the cash he made from bribes and kick backs to put people to work and provide services. i one time interviewed a guy who remembered growing up in the 30s. and he had a younger sibling that died at maybe age three. and he said we were poor, dad was out of work. he goes and we had the funeral and the casket and all this. we buried our brother. and went to the morgue to pay for it. and pendergast had already taken care of it. it was those things that earned peoples lifelong loyalty. because in days when times are tough and people are poor, it's they don't care about the politics so much. they don't care who the office holder. they care how am i going eat today. how will i feed my family. how can i find a job. and they did that through pendergast. >> now we return to c-span tour of kansas city, missouri. author explores wealth inequality in the u.s. including fees charged for housing, work, transportation and school. >> payment for a service rendered

but we just went through a reverse robin hood process as it relates to this tax bill and that's unfortunate. i'm hopeful that we will proceed in a bipartisan way. the president has indicated that he thinks that would be an appropriate approach. we'll see whether that is a again you inarctic can you lation on the way forward or not. but we cannot repeat the mistakes that were just attendant to the process of jamming this process down the throats of american people and will hurt evidence americans. mr. garamendi: thank you for laying out the better deal proposal that the dem cats are putting forth. and there are many elements to this. you mentioned education, infrastructure is a piece of it, medical care, research and so forth. the democrats have proposed several different ways to pay for the infrastructure program. two of those -- or one big one is now gone. american corporations held almost $2 trillion of profits offshore. in the tax bill, that money cannot be retrieved. it is going into the covers of the corporations, if they bring it back to the united states with a very small tax. one of
