we have two nations, separate and unequal, when it comes to the tax system and mitt romney has become the poster boy for that inequity. i mean, you and i would not be sitting here talking about this in this kind of detail even a few months ago. so, between occupy wall street, the president's change of tone and now, this really great case study and tax on fairness, the country is getting an education in things that they really didn't know. i mean, i'm not sure i knew some of t you know, i don't pay those kinds of taxes, i don't make that kind of money. just a way for most americans, the issue of tax, oh, i pay too much. well, maybe they do and maybe these other people could pay a little bit more and it is also enforce sod unfairly, as david says, they go after -- there's a real record of them going after smaller earners and business owners and basically ignoring what the mitt romneys do. maybe they can't understand it maybe the irs can't understand what they are doing themselves. >> the other thing that really comes into focus now, joan, is they actually fight to keep this. it is not l

like, everything was separate and unequal. the school was inadequate. we could not go to the hospitals. they built a house adjacent to the main hospital. the white people were not supposed to be in the same room with an n-person. you know the n-word? i said to myself at the end of the day that i love my country and i'm glad that that day, i took a stand. i saw through the supreme court that the flaws that america had tried to correct them by removing those horrible signs -- "white" and "colored." i said when i testified at the trial, i went through how we were treated, and the lady dramatize it, so i do not have to go through that, but it is the whole system of separate but unequal. it is understates rights -- is under states' rights. after lincoln had freed us from slavery, they instituted this law, separate but equal, and the state had sanctioned it. but everything there was, even when they had things that were federal, they would put a rope up, and the white people would be on one side, and the black people on the other side. i prayed. i'm a baptist.

. >> the life of the super rich in one of the most unequal societies on earth. this is a reality show in brazil. this is one of five millionaires ladies who lead their lives on national television. she was born rich and added a few millions to the fortune working as an interior designer. they were afraid of what would happen as brazil leaned left. well, they got richer. >> when lula was elected, brazilian high class was concerned about the money. the rich getting rich and the poor people getting a little money. >> there is a fast expanding market of goods and services. this is like avoiding traffic jams and street crime. for these problems, the best solution is going up. sao paulo has a fleet of 400 helicopters. they say, new clients are coming in and the old ones are flying more. >> some customers are flying a lot and buy their own helicopter. >> a single hour of flying costs more than three times the monthly minimum wage. the slums neighboring high luxury flats are a reminder of the social split in this country. there has been increase in living standards over

today we are unequally rich. >> very interesting.ge of the "american prospect." an op-ed for the "washington post." >> what do you think? >> i think james watt invented the steam engine in britain and the industrial revolution began. even as karl marx, no fan of capitalism he, even as karl marx noted, industrialization and capitalism produced a quantum leap at that point in human productivity. that was the main change was human productivity. and that's why that chart looks the way it does. i mean the chart is not wrong. the average wealth of the average person began to take off first in britain as a result of this invention, and then as other countries grew industrialized, there too, as in china today. but i think this is a separate question from the question of how equal or unequal incomes are within a given country. >> i don't think it's a separate question, harold. i think you give a lot of credence to the industrial revolution as it should be but you dismiss the effects of capitalism going on simultaneously. and i think that the

we have a founding reality that is ugly and on equal -- unequal. jefferson said he trembled for his country thinking that god is just. think about enslavement and marks on the republic. think about the way they had fallen short on their higher ideals. he said he trembled for his country. even the founders had heartbreak about the founding reality. thank goodness america is not just a founding reality. it is also our founding dream. the founding dream, we hold these truths to be self-evident that all created equal and that we have a right from the creator to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. that is the founding dream. who are we as americans? americans are a unique people on this earth. every color, class, face, gender, the rainbow people, an imperfect people who have struggled generation after generation to drag the unequal down in reality closer to the beauty of the dream. that is who we are. that is what we do. that is a makes us americans. each generation looks at the reality and the dream and tries to figure out what to do to take a

[ male announcer ] the audi a8, chosen by car & driver as the besty sedan in a recent comparison test. >> schieffer: finally today, well, what have we learned in this campaign so far? mainly that money is still the most powerful force in american politics and that the internet has made negative ads more powerful than ever. take the case of newt gingrich. he zoomed to the top of the polls until mitt romney and ron paul dumped a load of negative ads on him. down he went. the romney people were saying newt's fall wasn't all their doing. the ads ran only in iowa and gingrich's popularity also went down in new hampshire and south carolina too. well that's not quite right. the ads were seen in those states and everywhere else. not once but over and over on cable shows and websites and then hashed out on blogs and twitter and facebook and all the places people get their news today. when the berlin wall fell, i remember writing that in the television age, there were no secrets on the other side of the tracks. people in the east could see a better way of life

and i think if you have such an unequal society as we do, the government's got to put money into public good, like concerts for kids and art education and parks and the things that they can't get from upper middle-class parents, the government in that sense of enrichment of a child should be doing that. that's certainly liberal. >> where do you come down on capitalism, for or against it? >> oh, i'm for it. i'm for it. capitalism has a great wealth-generating capacity, we just have to learn, we have to do the delicate balancing act of regulating where it needs to be but without killing the incentives that fuel it. >> how do you do that? >> well, you know, we didn't do such a bad job after the depression. we can see now that all that deregulation was a mistake. i think that we can get our financial house back in order. i think there will always be panics or bubbles burst. the reason why there will always be is capitalism is a system in which no one in charge. many people have a lot more power than other people, but no one is in charge, so you can have everybody running off a cliff at once

itself is the problem is created in the context of the structure of the economy which has got more unequal over the last thirty forty years i mean that the fifty's when i was a little child. people exist or you get credit cards as a new wonderful thing but because their wages were going up even farther than the rate of inflation will waive the going up it wasn't as much of a problem as it is now you really had on the head of really great point which that is that. declining wages the stagnation of wages people have made up for that with credit and that's led to do not have credit expansion which has really become this huge problem you hit on this issue of labor and labor versus capital that was really the debate during the bryants time cracked yes was also farmers against industrialists i mean it wasn't as simple as we did it against their bosses ok not as simple for our intents and purposes you're not simplify it i know you probably had to do that as a historian but let's say it's capital stories like labor and i think it's going to classes to let them go by over everybody has it changed t

party does not have a clear answer to the question why has the united states become so much more unequal it was 30 years ago? the response that the republicans have come up with so far is to say claethat's class warfare. they're in financial. most americans are well aware of this social trend. they live it and see it every day. and what we need to see from the republican candidates is a credible response to the argument which obama makes that the federal government has to do more to counteract inequality through taxation, more taxing of the rich and through government programs. now, there is a republican answer to that, which is no, that's not the way to address the problem of inequality. but right now we're not hearing it. we're just hearing denial. and i think that's a weak and dangerous response for the republicans. >> and we will come right back to all of this. when we come back, we're going to talk about the euro crisis. we're going to talk about china. we're going to talk about the air rab spring when we return. an accident doesn't have to slow you down... with better car replaceme
