Ballot. Right now fox news reporting american payday, the big squeeze. The election is almost upon us. And with the house of representatives firmly in republican hands and the white house of course off the table, everyones focus is on this side of the u. S. Capitol, the u. S. Senate. The republicans magic number is a gain of six seats. Anything less and democrats remain in control. So both sides are fighting it out in state after state realizing the National Implications of those local results. And if theres one issue thats got everyones attention, its the economy. President obama recently said that the economy is better than when he first took office. But the public is uneasy. Nevertheless democrats have been trying to establish that theyre the ones to be trusted with the economy. And over the past year theres a phrase theyve been using quite a bit. I believe this is the defining challenge of our time. Democrats have been talking a lot lately about income inequality. Theres no greater challenge this country has than income inequality. And we must do something about it. This is not an issue thats going to go away. Concern over the unequal distribution of wealth is becoming a familiar theme in american politics, especially on the left. And democrats hope it will play a major role in this election cycle. What were talking about here income disparity, inequality in recognizing the value of work, can do more to undermine the middle class and therefore undermine our democracy. But pegging the election to income inequality might prove tricky for democrats. For one thing, income disparity tends to be most stark in the places that are run and populated by democrats. We went to Nancy Pelosis hometown of San Francisco, which as it turns out is a case study in income inequality. And the epicenter of a protest movement over that wealth gap. Welcome to the revolution. Reporter tommy is a local activist and founder of the San Francisco housing rights committee. The disparity between the people at the top, the top 5 i think is what they measured, versus the rest of us in the city is so wide. And its growing every moment. Reporter hes one of the leaders of a movement thats stg the e conviction of thousands of San Franciscons. People are being evicted, so were fighting back. Reporter people like claudia, a mother of 2yearold boy named valentino and teaches at fairmont, a local elementary school. She moved 16 years ago settling in a largely hispanic neighborhood called the mission. I gravitated towards the mission because im latina. Its always felt like home to me. Its where i feel accepted. Reporter not long ago she was told she had 120 days to vacate the apartment shed lived in for 14 years. I felt fear and depression. I didnt understand why i was being evicted. I always pay my rent on time. Ive never had a problem. Reporter this being San Francisco, even artists like Candice Roberts have gotten into the act. Its my response to whats going on in San Francisco right n now. Shes not my city anymore its about the working and middle classes being shut out economically from the city that they call home. A lot of my audience theyre sympathetic. Were likeminded folks. A lot of them are artists. Were all struggling to be here. Reporter many of the displaced know exactly where to lay the blame, on Silicon Valley. They say its tech workers are bidding up the Housing Market and changing the face of San Francisco. San francisco is sold to them as a perk, an added benefit. You can come work in this collegelike campus and get to live in this cool, hip city in this cultural neighborhood. Reporter founder of the antieviction it is a class war. It is the replacement of much more dominant ruling class that happens to be in this city the tech industry. Reporter perhaps the greatest symbol of the intrusion of Silicon Valley, the shuttles. Commonly known as google buses. They pick up employees from firms like twitter, yahoo and, yes, google, to carry them to their hightech campuses miles away in the suburbs. Protesters have blocked the buses and even broken windows and slashed tires. Some of the activists indicate pretty drastic remedies. I consider myself an anticapitalist. I think a lot of people in the Housing Movement do. Reporter however it turns out, the battle in San Francisco makes one thing clear income inequality has no political party. After all, San Franciscos politics tend to range from center left to far left. And the socalled bad guys in this fight, rich people from Silicon Valley, are a key democratic constituency. Which suggests that its not income inequality as an issue itself that will decide who runs the senate in the upcoming elections. Rather the very real anxieties about the economy. The big issue is not so much the gap between rich and poor. The real issue is upward mobility. Theres nothing wrong with rich people get richer, but when rich people get richer and the middle class actually stagnates, thats when theres a problem. Reporter joel, professor of urban studies at Chapman University whose latest book is the new class conflict sees the divide among democrats in San Francisco as part of a broader trend. Whats ridiculous is what youre doing to our people. Let those people go to work. Youre going to see a real conflict in Democratic Party between the gentry wing and the middle and working class wings. Reporter and Silicon Valley loaded with money, influence and an insistent green agenda is a significant part of that gentry wing. They regularly meet with politicians, such as Democratic Senate candidate allison lundergren grimes, seen here at a fundraiser hosted by the progressive women of Silicon Valley. But grimes is running in kentucky. Whats she doing so far away from home . Well, she wants to unseat incumbent Mitch Mcconnell, the most powerful republican in the senate. The gentry democrats want that too. She needs their money and clout. But there is a problem. While their money can help, their agenda can really hurt back home. The election this year will hinge largely on Energy Producing states where there are still some democrats there. And theyre having to run in an atmosphere where many people believe that after the election president obama will sign all sorts of measures that will really go after the energy industry. Reporter which brings us to kentucky, an essential seat in the fight over the senate. Well look into the battle over coal country when we return. S c.

If republicans gain enough seats in next months election, kentucky senator Mitch Mcconnell can become Senate Majority leader. Weve got Mitch Mcconnell with us today. Reporter yet even his seat isnt safe. And if he loses to opponent allison lundergren grimes, not only will it be a stunning personal rebuke, may mean the gop wont take the senate. Grimes, who comes from one of kentuckys prominent democratic families, came out swinging. Together we will take this fight to Mitch Mcconnell and hold him accountable for his 30 years of failed leadership. Reporter meanwhile, mcconnell is giving as good as he gets. Shes a partisans partisan. Shes been practicing Party Politics since she learned to talk. Reporter and the race will turn to a great extent on the economy. And who can convince voters theyll help the state get through recent tough Economic Times . Theres no place that the struggle to get by is more deeply felt than in Harlan County with a population of nearly 29,000, its in the heart of kentuckys coal country. My grandfather worked in the coal mines back in the 20s and 30s. And he owned among others worked hard underground. And they fought for the miners to have good benefits, wages. Reporter frank dixon was a coal miner for 40 years. The miners operators, owner, didnt want the union brought in. So they brought people in to kill people, burn homes down, that type of thing. Reporter but the miners prevailed. And over the next several decades countless people built a good life for themselves. I had everything we wanted. My home, home paid for. Its just life was good. Just what people hard working people work for. I was making about 1,100 a week after taxes and after cuts and everything. I was living comfortably. Reporter james walker worked in the mines for 22 years. I had money to take my kids to do what i wanted to do. It was good living. It was nice. What we needed plus a lot of extras, blessed. Blessed very well. Reporter but in the past few years it all changed. I went to work one day and we didnt get to go on the job. We had to go to the office. And so that meant something was up. They told us to get our stuff and that was it. There was no more job there. And it hurt bad. Reporter almost overnight they went from welloff to wards of the state. I averaged 95,000 a year. Now i get 308 a month food stamps. I got myself and two boys, thats 75 a week, 25 each to eat on for a week. Got three girls and a little boy. And i live thats my life. Reporter though he works the occasional odd job, walker struggles. Six months ago he and his family were forced to move in with his parents. You got to do what you got to do to take care of your kids. Thats what im trying to do. Take care of my family. Reporter since 2011, some 1,400 mining jobs have been lost in Harlan County alone. Other businesses dependent on the miners also failed. Once thriving Harlan County towns, benham, lynch and cumberland have been hollowed out. Tony felosi, the director of Economic Development for Harlan County has seen the consequences. We have citizens digging through the trash just to eat. They feel like theyve been forgotten. And that has a devastating mental effect on the entire population. Reporter a significant part of that population, especially the young, abandoned Harlan County altogether. We had mass exodus. Theres been thousands of people have left harlan that will never come back. Reporter over the years this onetime Coal Miners Union stronghold has become steadily more republican. And with the recent uphee value, coal countrys democrats may prove the winning difference for senator mcconnell. I blame obama. I blame him real bad. Before obama ever came around, coal was doing good. Obama killed it. Reporter though many we spoke to acknowledge there were other factors that contributed to the collapse of coal, the feelings of bitterness are palpable. Oh, people around here if you mention obama, its tough. It is a lot of people goes to cussing. Which i try to stay away from that, but its how people get furious. I wish hed step off the face of the earth. Wouldnt hurt my feelings none. Reporter indeed many in the community feel under siege from this administration. It was president barack obama they say whos green policies led to the epa restrictions on coalfired power plant emissions that shut down the mines. If somebody wants to build a coalpowered plant, they can. Its just that it will bankrupt them. He has no idea, no idea, what hes done to this little part of the country. Whether he cares or not, i dont know. Hes killed us. Hes killed this part right here. Im telling you. Its gone. Its gone. Reporter we talked to one of the few miners still working in Harlan County. I thank the lord for my job every day because there aint a lot out there. Reporter steven adams asked us to pass along a simple message to the president. Dear mr. President , would you please leave us coal miners alone and let us work and provide for our families . Thats the only thing were asking for. Leave us alone. Just let us work. Reporter but with the Obama Administrations recently proposed the chance these men might keep their jobs becomes all the more remote. When those kick in its basically going to be the kiss of death. Reporter cb bennett is the Vice President of cumberland elk horn, coal and coke, a familyowned Mining Company in harlan, kentucky. They made losers out of every coal miner in america. Reporter he may believe that washington has made these miners losers, but now its up to these very same people to pick a winner. Thats either mcconnell or grimes. But with the senate up for grabs, the choice is also something bigger. Which partys approach to the economy will prevail . Well look into that when we return. There it is. This is where i met your grandpa. Right under this tree. man some things are Worth Holding onto. Theyre hugging the tree. man thats why we got a subaru. Or was it that tree . man introducing the allnew subaru outback. Love. Its what makes a subaru, a subaru. I make a lot of purchases and i get aness. Lot in return with ink plus from chase. Like 70,000 bonus points when i spent 5,000 in the first 3 months after i opened my account. And i earn 5 times the rewards on internet, phone services and at Office Supply stores. With ink plus i can choose how to redeem my points. Travel, gift cards even cash back. And my rewards points wont expire. So you can make owning a business even more rewarding. Ink from chase. So you can. With the senate race in full swing, Mitch Mcconnell and Allison Grimes have been crisscrossing the state. And the troubled areas of Eastern Kentucky where people are looking for a candidate who can offer some relief, are a high priority. We were able to catch up with senator mcconnell as he visited one of those communities. He rode in the Kentucky Mountain laurel festival parade. We have a created by the Obama Administration. Reporter theres no question who he blames for the problems there. The president made it clear during his campaign back in 2008 that he was going after coal. And hes followed through on it. Reporter the president has responded to the problems of mcconnells state. Earlier this year he announced a new economic initiative, spotlighting five communities including one in kentucky. Your country will help you remake your community on behalf of your kids, family by family, block by block. We call these communities promise zones. Reporter the program was sold as a way to retrain unemployed miners and provide seed money for new kinds of jobs. But tony felosi, the director of Economic Development for Harlan County, tells us that more than nine months after the president s announcement his office has yet to see any money from the federal government. If president obama does not turn the promise zone into promises kept zones, then youre talking about communities disappearing, people that have been here for four, five, six generations, for 100, 150 years, gone. Whole communities gone, whole ways of life, gone. It aint a promise zone. Its a lie zone. The way the coal Mining Industry is in Harlan County, hes destroyed it. Why should anybody believe what hes got to say now . I dont. Reporter but what really bothers folks in coal country is what they see as the administrations punitive regulatory regime, indeed far from easing up on regulations the epa has recommended even tougher Carbon Dioxide restrictions set to go in effect next year. Environmentalists applaud the move. The coal industry believes the proposed rules will be devastating. For her part, Allison Grimes who declined to speak with us despite repeated requests for an interview, has gone out of her way to distance herself from the administration and from the environmental elite of her party. I will fight to make sure that coal has a longterm place in our National Energy policy. Reporter shortly after the administration rolled out its new regulations, grimes laid into president obama in this radio ad. Your epa is targeting Kentucky Coal with pie in the sky regulations that are impossible to achieve. Its clear you have no idea how this effects kentucky. Reporter later, grimes famously declined to say whether she even voted for president obama. To joel grimes versus the obama epa represents once again the fight between the two wings of her party. The Democratic Party used to believe in broad based Economic Growth. Now the Democratic Party is really become more about redistribution while the environmentalists really dont want growth because Economic Growth is bad for the environment in their minds. Reporter while grimes campaigns to separate herself from washington, Mitch Mcconnell wants to tie the two together. A vote for Allison Grimes is a vote for barack obama. Reporter i spoke to the senator recently in washington. A vote for Mitch Mcconnell is a vote for kentucky. Reporter but Allison Grimes painted herself as being a supporter of the coal industry and the jobs it once provided. But the most important vote shell cast is the first vote she gets there to make harry reid leader of the senate. And harry reid famously said coal makes you sick. What will you do if you become majority leader for the coal Mining Industry . In the bill we will seek to restrict their funding so they cannot pursue this crusade. Now, if the president feels so strongly about his crusade, he can veto the bill, but at least were going to challenge him and challenge the epa to go in a different direction. How would you characterize the mood in coal towns like harlan . They wonder why the administration singled them out for punishment. And all of a sudden theyre being targeted to pursue this crusade related to global warming. Theyre scratching their heads saying why us . Why are you picking on us . In Eastern Kentucky we have a depression thanks to barack obama. In Harlan County the voters are making up their minds. Some seem willing to give grimes the benefit of the doubt. I like what shes going to try to do. Shes going for the coal Mining Industry. She believes in coal Mining Industry. Reporter but many people like Donald Farmer and cb bennett are deeply suspicious due to her party affiliation. Shes actually said shes for the coal industry, the coal people, but she cant prove that to me. Hogs can fly. Thats about anything she says i consider hogs can fly. Reporter still, its not as if mcconnell has closed the deal. Theres plenty of suspicion of republicans as well. If he wants my vote or a lot of these peoples votes here in these mountains, we are going to have to see something visually done. Talks cheap. Talks real cheap. He has voted against raising minimum wage, which would drastically needed during these times of hardship. Hes also voted against extending the Unemployment Benefits for the coal miners that are out of work. When people lost their unemployment checks here, they lost something. They lost what was paying their bills. They lost what it was taking to go here and try to find another job. No, no. Weve been lied to so much, you dont know who to believe anymore. One can say im here for the coal Mining Industry, get votes to get in and then turn their back. Were sick of that. Republican or democrat, dont care who you are, they need to get off their hind end and get out here and quit fighting over it, quit bickering over it, get out and give us some help is what we need. Im broke up, beat up, bruised up. They all need help. Reporter but if kentucky is a state that seems on a downward slope, theres a booming state where the political battle is just as lively and where a democratic incumbent looks like she might be in trouble. When we come back, louisiana. You pay your Auto Insurance premium every month on the dot. Youre like the poster child for paying on time. And then one day you tap the bumper of a station wagon.

Remember, while your medication is doing you good, a dry mouth isnt. Biotene for people who suffer from dry mouth. Reporter kentucky as we have seen is going through some tough times. Louisiana on the other hand has enjoyed an Unemployment Rate generally well below the National Average these past few years. But boom or bust economic anxieties over the future of louisiana are playing a central role in what promises to be a barn burner of a senate race. And the winner may not even be known for more than a month after the election. Thats because the state has whats called a jungle primary. All the candidates are on the ballot november 4th. And if no one gets a majority, theyll be a runoff between the top two on december 6th. And right now neither of the two leading candidates, democrat incumbent Mary Landrieu and republican congressman bill cassidy are polling over 50 . One reason . A second republican is averaging close to 10 in the polls. So theres a decent chance well see a runoff in december. Imagine what that will be like if the fate of the senate hangs in the balance. The top two contenders, Mary Landrieu and bill cassidy know the stakes. And both are sensitive to the economic ups and downs in louisiana, a state where oil and gas reign supreme. This is where my dad and i first lived when we moved to lake charles 44 years ago. I had a lot of failures. We didnt have a lot of money. Reporter steve jordan is ceo of central crude based in lake charles, louisiana. My wife and i built this house one minute from my work. Ive got my barge terminal in the back and oil wells in the front. So im happy being an energy producer. Reporter his company specializes in transporting crude oil and natural gas. And in an age of new extraction techniques like fracking, business is booming. His 28yearold son george handles daytoday operations as the chief operating officer. Its because of the success weve had, we now employ over 250 people. And that makes me really proud. Reporter one of those is richard johnson. In only two years hes worked his way up from driver to field supervisor. This is one of the best jobs i ever had. I work the extra hours, everything, because thats what i love to do. Reporter the job also affords him a comfortable lifestyle. It means a lot. Youre able to take a vacation to hawaii. Youre able to buy a new vehicle every five years. Buy a house. Youre able to raise your kids. Reporter lake charles already has the highest yeartoyear growth rate in louisiana. And new facilities are on their way including a new petrol Chemical Plant and new natural gas terminals. An lsu study projects the creation of 7,800 new jobs over just the next year. All in all a 46. 6 billion industrial expansion expected to come. It is a tremendously productive, high income earning middle places like lake charles, builders, plumbers, pipe fitters reporter joe mason is professor of economics at Louisiana State university. Very well not just in lake charles but across the u. S. They pay because they involve skills. You cant be a dummy and go into welding or pipe fitting. Reporter but there may be dark clouds coming. For one thing, lake charles officials are concerned about new epa ozone regulations set to be proposed in december. Were troubled by the impact of epa reporter if the new ozone standards become as strict as both epa officials and environmentalists are recommending, natural gas and Oil Producers could go elsewhere. I think the risk is real. Reporter bill race is executive director of the port of lake charles. If the standards go low enough, then that gives them the pause to think, well, am i doing the right thing by investing my billions of dollars here . Or am i better off investing it in some other part of the world . Reporter on top of all of this theres the lack of progress on the keystone xl pipeline. The Keystone Pipeline planned to bring more crude from canada to gulf coast refineries. More than once the Obama Administration has prevented or postponed the completion of the pipeline. And its ultimate status is still unresolved today. What they decide in washington affects everybody. Their decisions they make, like the Keystone Pipeline, its going to be all along the gulf coast to be moved. Reporter joe duyvval works e river, a 40foot deep channel linking lake charles to the gulf coast. Of course, lake charles is a big refining area. And it provides a lot of jobs. Reporter the cost in jobs caused by the delay has become a potent political rallying cry. But environmentalists claim when it comes to such issues, opponents are missing the big picture. But the fact of the matter is it is not just an american issue. This is global reporter tom stire is a San Franciscobased Hedge Fund Manager turned political activist with a mission to change American Energy policy. As a nation we dont just have to make the changes for ourselves, we have to lead the rest of the world. Reporter he has used his own wealth to support a green agenda across the nation. Believes the white house is on his side. The Obama Administration has been doing a great job on this for the last year. And they have made it a priority. Theyre looking at a legacy issue. Theyre doing hard things in spite of what it might mean politically. Reporter professor of lsu thinks these policies might be politically costly if theyre attached to democrats in Energy States like louisiana. There does seem to be this hostility to oil and Gas Production per se that doesntk. The policy seems to me that they want middle class jobs, just not these middle class jobs. Reporter thats why in the Louisiana Senate race the leading republican, bill cassidy, is trying to tie democrat Mary Landrieu to barack obama and his environmental policies. And its why the senator is running away from them. Coming up, i sit down with incumbent Mary Landrieu and leading republican candidate bill cassidy both working hard to prove he or she is the one who will let the good times roll. We got married, we became a family of five. Without the time and money to wash all this stuff separately. So we wash it all in cold water with tide. Even saras shorts. Those are mine. Seriously .

Like Allison Grimes in kentucky, louisiana senator Mary Landrieu sometimes seems to be running away from washington as much as shes running for it. Thats senator landrieu speaking at an oil and gas event at the lake of port charles. Not only are we creating jobs here for us, we are helping to create a middle class in america. Reporter i sat down to talk with her. Shes a powerful figure in the senate chairing the committee on energy and Natural Resources. But shes also been in washington for three terms, so how can she claim to have nothing to do with the unpopular regulations that worry so many local energyrelated businesses . What do you say to critics who say maybe you havent done enough in that seat . Because of the seniority and the clout that i have, i am a strong supporter of energy infrastructure, a strong supporter of Domestic Energy production. In fact, my bill was the bill that opened up 8. 3 million acres of free land, the first land weve opened up for drilling offshore. Theyve ticked down no votes on the senate floor on keystone xl pipeline. No hearings on ozone regulations that folks here in lake charles would think that do real damage to the industry. And not one single piece of legislation, critics say, voted on the senate floor come out of your committee. I guess the question is do you have a problem Getting Energy sector priorities past senator reid or the Obama Administration . First of all, theres a problem with your list. Its not our committee, its apw committee. The other issue with Keystone Pipeline, ive actually raised the support of Keystone Pipeline from three democrats to 11 and did everything i could to get a vote on the floor of the senate. Well, its because im not running the senate. Harry reid and Mitch Mcconnell are running the senate. I promise you if i were running the senate we would have had a vote. Reporter her leading republican opponent, bill cassidy, thinks thats the problem. Shes been ineffectual as chair of the energy committee. The only thing shes gotten through are president obamas appointees. Reporter even though she says the things that support the industry and she is chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources committee. You say thats not enough. She said her top priority was getting a Senate Floor Vote on keystone xl pipeline. She was unable to do that. But shes also said her first vote will be for senator harry reids reelection as Senate Majority leader. Why would you make your first vote for him as opposed to voting for someone favoring our state . Reporter even if she hasnt gotten every vote she wanted, landrieus influence has won her some real successes. In addition to opening up more area for drilling, she also helped get one of the few export terminals for liquefied natural gas through washingtons regulatory maze. I helped walk the permit through when the country was, were not sure, were not sure, i said what do you mean youre not sure . Reporter the Plant Construction on the river about an hour away from lake charles employs 4,000 workers. When up and running, it will employ 600. Why would the people of louisiana give up this energy gavel right at the time when weve got the power to design an Energy Policy for this country that recognizes the blessing of natural gas, theres a bridge fuel to the future. Were proud i am proud of the oil and gas industry and their accomplishments. But we also want to move to alternative cleaner energy where we can. Reporter and as she notes even if her opponents dont like her record, at least she has one. My critics dont have much to run on themselves, which is why were spending a lot of time talking about me. Reporter cassidy meanwhile claims senator landrieus most notable trait is overwhelming allegiance to per party. Senator landrieu supports barack obama 97 of the time. The president has an aus tillty to the energy industry. And senator landrieu supports him 97 of the time. Why would you support so faithfully someone who is so hostile to our economy . Reporter central crude chief steve jordan, wlo we met earlier, has heard both candidates advocate for the energy industry. But when it comes to his vote, the incumbent, senator landrieu, has an inescapable liability. I do appreciate what she has advocated for the industry, unfortunately she just has a very bad bed made that shes chosen to get in bed with named harry reid. And thats just really a to have alba tros to have around your neck just like president obama. We talked to a lot of folks here, and they like you. They know you. But youre going up against senator reid and Obama Administration that is against what theyre fighting for. It really isnt this election about whos in the white house or whos majority or minority leader of the senate. Its about whos the senator from louisiana that can continue to deliver for this state. People want a senator that will fight for them. Reporter the latest polls show a tight race that could head to a runoff in december, if no one wins 50 of the vote, a distinct possibility, there will be a runoff december 6th. And the entire country could wait an extra month to find out which candidates go into washington. Im over the hill. My body doesnt work the way it used to. Past my prime .

As we just saw, lake charles seems to be a boom town. But its not the only one. In fact, one town thats been doing quite well in the past few years, Property Values are going through the roof, is washington, d. C. And the Thriving Center is arguably k street, the backbone of the lobbying industry. Its the center of the financial crisis and in the stimulus, everybody has moved to washington because thats where their source of funds is. Other cities produce cars or coal or computers, but washington has a more intangible product. Oregon is selling oil and gags, washington is selling policy, its very clear when you visit washington, the business thats going on, when you listen to conversations over lunch, it is involved in the sale of policy. Ultimately the sale of policy can devolve into crummy capitalism. The question is, how do you know when things have gone too far. When had we moved from sensible legislation to raw favoritism, from rational supervision to smothering regulation. There are plenty of people who think we have already gone too far. The regulation industry is a drag on Economic Growth, its a drag on u. S. Jobs and product at this time. We can continue to expand this, but its not going to do anything good for our economy or our country. Professor mason isnt alone when he says there are powerful people who disagree. This is a pro business agenda. This is a pro Economic Growth agenda. But Many Americans beg to differ, a recent fox news poll suggests that by a wide 56 by 38 margin, the public isnt buying it.
