anything. that s right. david: and e-mack, 45% of americans get their news from facebook. there is a kind of a public trust now that facebook has, right? no, i don t i agree with sabrina and rich. they re a private company. you know, they can get news elsewhere. i don t think that president should attack facebook like this this in this manner, but facebook should own up and say it s a media shop. david: steve. the law says one thing, if you get big and you re not treating people fairly. at&t before the 1980 s went out of its way to make sure everyone was taken care of. facebook should follow that example or they re going to suffer political consequences, a fact of life. david: rich, only seconds. is that culture out in silicon valley ever going to change? it s one that the east coast doesn t understand. the most powerful capitalists, people who work the hardest in the country are out here, but they have different social views than conservatives do.
why is it that republicans are now afraid of using that word? i don t know. i mean, that s a great mystery of our time. still in the it s still in the hands of donald trump though. he s got to put the persuasive powers of the presidency to work on this. to concentrate on this, really nothing else well, maybe north korea, but really nothing else until he gets it done. david: e-mack, again, the word rich. i don t see any problem with wanting to be rich, do you? people do not prosper at the expense of the poor. oprah winfrey, steve jobs, howard schultz, larry ellison, they were all poor and they moved up. david: and steve oprah winfrey, by the way, may be the democratic contender that donald trump goes up against next time? that s why the republicans got to stop using democrat language and use the language of growth like ronald reagan did. everyone gets a tax cut, consumers, middle class, people striving, rich, that s how you get investment, that s how you
it can have to build structures that survive the storms. even in mexico, still a developing nation after 1985, had enough resources when you look at mexico city, the post 1985 buildings better than pre-. you get the capital to deal with these better. david: e-mack, one thing that makes me sick, this proves that we have to have better regulations. i covered mexico for years, mexico has more regulations than we do, but they don t implement them. i agree with you. it s awful what s going on in mexico. and steve is right, most buildings that collapsed pre-date 1985. they started to get smart about the types of materials and building stronger buildings, but they did build in a lake bed that s underneath mexico city and it s about being smart. you don t need more regulations. mexico is trying to be smarter about its buildings. david: rich, it s really about
here say, stop the bickering inside the beltway and start passing trump s simple plan, but would that forbes quick fix work? hi, i m david asman. welcome to forbes on fox. with steve forbes, michael, elizabeth macdonald, john tamny and steve, way back in april, you wrote an op-ed in the new york times, for goodness sake, why are republicans making tax reform so hard? it looks like they still are. yeah, they haven t learned since april and david, it s simple, slash individual tax rates across the board ala ronn ronned ronled a reagan and done, run with it. david: e-mack, we have a plan and to emphasize what steve said much we ve got five points, sort of expanding a little on what the president said, reduce the tax brackets
i agree with rich, i think you need to have market forces here to price it correctly for insurance for these areas and you know, by the way, our hearts go out to the victims and the families who are so hard-hit by harvey right now. david: what we re looking at the on the right side of the screen are before and after shots. in your lifetime and grandfather s lifetime, it hadn t been flooded and you see the changes, the homes that everybody thought were safe, but clearly weren t, how would private insurers do better than a federal program? it s absolutely heartbreaking that s happening and we wish the best for everyone. e-mack is absolutely right as always, that there was a distortion here. the fact that people didn t have information asymmetry. they didn t have to make a fully enveloped decision and those $100,000 people are probably going to get a rude awakening when they see the bureaucracy and paper work at that goes into
