there will be a war between the public employees that are unionized and private employees that unionized. public employees provide more and more tax increases and other payments to pay for their very, very attractive pensions, health and welfare things and huge salaries. to be paid for by a lot of people, including 7% of the workforce that is unionized in the private sector. >> following up on the fault line that you expect to happen in the labor movement, are their fall lines in your own industry? >> people ask me that all the time. how can you have rendered thousand members and a representation through the state and local chambers 2 3 million companies and not have disagreements? we have disagreements every day. every day. the worst thing is that when you get the tax bills and they all, and form a circular firing squad to shoot each other. this year, we're going to try to get them to phase out. the differences in the business community are driven very often in the natural way. the differences between people in the services sector and the manufacturing sector, a technology business and

we will play that role within the european union that i spoke of before. we'll do everything we can as a new government in britain to persuade our partners in europe that it will be necessary to show europe's determination to take some similar -- many similar steps to those taken by the united states to intensify the peaceful pressure on iran. i have long advocated that the european union should adopt financial sections every time -- financial sanctions of the type the united states has implemented them on this issue. we'll have to get into the specifics once the security council resolution has passed. there is no magic to this approach. it requires persistence and determination. it requires united strength in the international community to tackle this problem. we will buttress that, as indeed our predecessors have tried to do. we are not calling and we have never ruled out supporting military action, though we are not calling for it. it is because we want to see this matter settled peacefully and rapidly that we call for sanctions and support the idea of

labor unions, fdr-style policies. and so whei hear people like you -- when i hear the tea party people are going back -- or rush limbaugh talking about, you know, protecting what's best about america, i don't understand how they don't look back to the legacy of anticorporate behavior. like nafta was a free market idea. and nafta is what's responsible for the destruction of the livelihood of the mexican farmers who --. >> host: we have a lot to work with. thank you. >> guest: i agree with you in part. i was an opponent of nafta and and i think ross perot and ral have nader and the head of the afl-cio at the time. we were the main people fighting nafta and, quite frankly, we had the majority of the country with us against nafta. when you got such a disparity of wages what's going to happen you're going to send american jobs to mexico and american factories to mexico. and they will leave the united states. when i came out against -- against free trade. and i was against the world trade organization. and on the foreign po

labor unions. >> we work with u.s. labor unions on infrastructure, on immigration, on national defense issues. many of them are made up of people that come from my families. extended family. i don't have any problem with labor union members, i have a problem with labor union leaders who have lost sight of what is in the best interest of their members. and are in this town holding back this economy and reducing the opportunities to create new jobs in labor union members and non-labor union members. i think when the government gets bigger than the people they govern, we have a real problem. and as i predicted i think you will see conflicts within the unions. we now have a new person running the sciu, and a new person running the afl-cio. i think it will be an interesting time. i came here not to talk about them as people but of the behavior that has caused us to leave a lot of jobs on the side of the road. and a lot of americans wishing they had them. thank you very much.

the lieutenant governor supported by progressive groups and unions.nions worked very hard to accomplish lincoln but send a message to democrats more broad of an democratic seat in order to make this point that you have to follow along with what we believe. pothole. >> it definitely makes it a race. "the new york times" came out showing on a number of occasions he exaggerated what he did in vietnam. he was in washington and then in the u.s. marine reserves. that didn't go over well with some people. a lot of the vets are really standing behind him. gwen: even though he had five deferments for things like working at the bhouse -- white house and the "washington post"? >> i think there are two things going on. a lot of us talked about the case of bruce who ran against quomeo in 1982 for governor. he made up a whole military career that didn't exist. richard blumen that will spent a lot of times with -- time with vets up there. for 30 years he's been going to the funerals and to the homes and they saw him as a fellow marine. they said we never thought he

hence, the resurgence of large negotiating blocks on the part of wage earners, of unions in the 1970s. i hope you can imagine what all of this held in store for business owners and for entrepreneurs. what business could credibly issue a bond, promising to clear 9% inflation every year for 10 or 20-year term? as well as clear whatever large portion of the coupon was to be done in taxation? the bond would have to pay 15 to 20% per year for the long term. only firms with the most distinguished pedigrees, the soundest reputations and the clearest prospects could credibly issue long-term debt at these levels. so start-ups dried up as the fortune 500 became the only enterprises anyone wanted to lend money to. venture capital was waiting things out in commodities. as for the economy, the problem here was that young companies ordinarily create jobs at 20 times the rates of the fortune 500. silicon valley executive ed vow testified to this fact before congress in 1978 and everyone was aghast. small business creates jobs and the business market made it possible for the small business. and it we
