the problem they have is they never control their capacity and so they never make money. as a sector, they ve lost money since orville and wilber wright. brenda: they can t blame it on the sequester. so let s see, the new health care law is so complicated, we now have to pay tens of thousands of people to explain it to us. the cavuto gang is about to tell you something that will make your blood pressure rise. that s at the bottom of the hour, but up here first, fast food workers walking off the job demanding massive pay hike. is this rage for real or is the union revving things up to rev up their membership. we can t survive! (announcer) scottrade knows our clients trade and invest their own way. with scottrade s smart text, i can quickly
the lowest labor force participation rate in like the last 40 years, second of all, even if you say, oh, my gosh, obama has been a success, i don t see how it could, it goes back to the time of roosevelt, he tried for three terms, it and it doesn t work. we can have a couple of guys holding up road signs for a couple of weeks and those jobs go away. those are temporary jobs, we can t count on the government to create permanent jobs, it hasn t worked in the history of mankind. brenda: okay, we saw retailers layoff in this last jobs report, jonas. what does that mean about raising taxes? was this a direct result, do you think of the payroll tax hike? it is, i mean, if you raise taxes people have less money to spend. it s not good for spending, which means it s not good for job creation and unformer we have to have taxes to have a society and we can t balance the budget just raising taxes on the top 2% of the country.
mcdonald s, the pay gap between him and what his workers make has more than doubled. this is why these workers have rates, this is why they re out there and you also have mcdonald being one of the leading people lobbying against raising the minimum wage when if we did more people would have more money in their pocket to go and get the big mac and fridays. brenda: john. i d like to get 100 million like tony romo makes and one less playoff. and gary b is right, they have a right to ask for more money. if they re making $9, making what puts them in poverty and we have 60 million in poverty and that has to be addressed. because of the problems in washington d.c., not mcdonald s, this is not being addressed. brenda: is this about the unions trying to raise their membership? it s been declining for decades. of course it s a great
for top millionaires. no, this isn t about free pizza, it s getting us once and for all out of this recession and closing the loopholes, closing some of the retirement tax benefits for millionaires and billionaires, that allow them to put more than 3 million dollars into their retirement accounts. those are things that can help us and take that revenue and make those investments that are necessary to create the jobs. that sounds like cyprus. that unfortunately weren t created in the last jobs report. brenda: gary b, what do you make of that? the left is under the dilution that the government can somehow create jobs and if we just give them more money and we give them enough time, eventually they ll get it right. we saw though from the first obama stimulus that that didn t work. it hasn t budged the needle at all. and as john layfield as john points out, we have
getting specifically job creation, the current proposal, i m not going to talk about the other problems in the tax code. if we were to remove deductions for some people or all people, believe it or not, that creates more demand, because you re putting money in an ira account because you get a tax break today and for 30 and 40 years. and if it went away, imagine during a recession, no 401 contributions and a tax break. all of that money would have got spent during the recession. so this particular proposal may not cause joblessness to go up in the short run. it s not a good long-term policy. brenda: what do you think, toby, about tax hikes, what are they going to do to the tax rate. still digesting jonas. and christina roamer only spent like 30 years researching the facts.
