let me finish, bob. so it's immeasurable, so when he leaves, do people feel better about themselves? is the economy better? if you raise the minimum wage, you're not going to increase people's bank accounts by a huge amount so they feel like they're sharing in the wealth, unless there's things like better education, skills, and productivity. that's where the jobs are going. the rich are going to get richer because they have the ability to make money in this economy. the lower incomes, it's decreasing because of technology, productivity gains, and the type we're not educating americans to get the jobs that are available. >> these guys who make capital gains on paper, which is all stocks and bonds they move around in the middle of the night. tax those guys at 50%. real capital gains. >> what are you going to do with that money, then? give it to people? >> yeah, how about education and technology for poor people? >> there's a lot of money going into education and technology. actually the root cause, when yo

>> i do, bob. let me tell you why. there's a lot of republicans who feel that they should do something, this is not a monolithism. economic conservatives like immigration reform and in fact many support it, the bill that john mccain and i put together in the senate. you have major republican groups, evangelical, christians, business community, hi-tech community, lobbying for this. speaker baner is now entertaining it. obviously he's not going to do it exactly the way we do but i would predict that we will get immigration reform done this year, another example of the mainstream republicans not just listening to the tea party but doing what's right for their country and for their party. >> schieffer: all right. senator, thank you so much for being with us this morning. and we'll be right back with our panel of analysts.

liz. >> good morning, bob. there have been two bombings already today in baghdad, one in a public market and the other at a bus station. in the latter case army recruits seemed to have been the target. that's the second time this week that a group of army recruits have been targeted by bombers. the bombs were probably the work of a group that when the u.s. was here was known as al qaeda in iraq. sings it's changed its name and grown in influence. up in anbar province about 50 miles west of here a target -- we do know there have been sporadic bouts of fighting for the last ten days. so far the iraqi military hasn't moved in, there's been no big offensive just smaller units facing off against these armed extremists. hasn't ordered a big assault because he knows very well that the people of the area armed tribes men, really don't like his shia led government. if the army were to move in there's every chance that the local people would pick up arms and fight them off. so at the moment, iraq has two serious security

now go ahead. >> very nice, bob. i think this is salittle harsh, but look, the parents have their kids playing football. a lot of the kids love it. what's the message? don't quit. there's a lot of terrific messages in football. i know they're serious about it down in texas, but football is a tough sport. you have played it. nick saban does not sit in the locker room and go, excuse me, if you could score in the next quarter, that would be great, amazing. it is tough. and it's a team sport, and there's wonderful, wonderful things that come out of football. but there seems to be a war on football in this country. >> nick saban does this with 20-year-old kids. this is a 4-year-old kid. >> okay. >> look how good they are. look at the video. >> yeah, look how good they are. >> it's a little harsh, okay, but they're not dying. >> you know, i think it's disgraceful. i think they should be enrolled in schools for male modeling. it's far more tasteful. look, here's the thing. you got to consider the alternative. last week, the

joe and bob, you guys disagree on this. bob, listen, you and i have talked for a long, long time. i respect your views very much. i will say this. you highlighted the five of 12. joe points out the 4% growth. are we focusing too much on the negatives in this economy? i understand there's a lot of people that have a lot of problems still out there. no one is saying america's fixed. income inequality is a problem. a lot of people can't find jobs. i get it. but i feel like lately there has been so much focus on all the negatives that people that might want to go out and take capital risk are so terrified because of what they hear and that we're not highlighting -- there are positives in this economy. if we continue to highlight more the negatives, we are going to hold ourselves back from greatness. >> there are positives. but the positives are above zero but they're not strong enough. you look at, for example, the nfib survey. the nfib respondents are showing some improvement but the numbers are still very weak. you look at -- joe wants to talk about this 4% growth. we've had excess
