>> just hour ago, president obama finished hosting a jobs forum at the white house . it included business executives and members of the president's cabinet. the white house says the chief aim of the forum will be to get companies to hire more workers anton bring back jobs that have been sent overseas. the president said he is planning new incentives.
>> in the next few weeks, we're also going to put forward new tax proposals that reward companies that choose to bring jobs home and invest in the america . and we're going to eliminate tax breaks for companies that are moving jobs overseas.
>> president is about to leave apparently now for chicago. he'll be attending three campaign fund-raisers in his hometo hometown. meantime is, the job market will continue to improve this year accord to a new forecast by moody's analysts. many economists expect the rate to fall slowly. the moody's forecast predicts monthly job creation of 130,000. that's in line with the last year's pace. moody's forecasts the biggest job gains in three categories, professional, business services , education, and health care and leisure hospitality. texas is again projected to be the top in the nation in total job growth with more than 200,000. joining me now the host of msnbc's dylan rhadigan. he's also if you have not heard out with a brand-new book, it is called "greedy bastalds."
>> the bottom line is the three categories, professional business services education and health care . what do you think here? why are these the business sectors or the sectors that will see growth?
>> let's say you have professional and business services . set that aside for a second because that is vague. have you health and education. the good news about the fact that there's a forecast for more jobs in health and education is a job is not simply somebody where you pay somebody money so that they have money. so there's a mistaken interpretation in this country that jobs, we'll give them some money. a job is something that solves a problem. fortunately for us, we've got a lot of problems. and every time you see a problem, what you should be looking at is that looks like a job to me. the fact of the matter i'm enencouraged to hear there is a forecast that we have growth in health and education because two of our biggest problems are health and education. i can't speak to the details of what those specific things are. we have to reframe the way we think what a job is. it's not something where i give you money, not something where i give -- tell somebody else to give you money.
>> what is a job?
>> a job is something you do to help solve a problem that has value for other people, provide health care , provide energy efficiency , provide educational services, provide investment, provide high level communication and entertainment services. whatever it might be. but the fact of the matter is we seem to have lost our mind as to what a job is where we think if we print some money or do things it will get people and we'll have a job. that's good for politicians and businesses in the short term because everybody gets a little less freaked out that particular year. it's time to start thinking about what a job really is. every time you see a problem, think that's a job.
>> okay. well, that is a way to create a new business, a small business , in fact. many people do just that. they see a problem, come up with a solution and end up being very, very rich. one person who did that was mitt romney 's father. he created the clam box for the big macs
>> he saw a problem and solved it. his son went in the office direction. while his father was an innovator and inventor and experimenter and was successful in it.
>> i said mitt romney . i meant jon huntsman .
>> we're both wrong snooping mitt romney 's father had his own success, as well.
>> jon huntsman 's fathers represents what we aspire to as capitalism in america , solve a problem, we'll get you paid. mitt romney represents everything wrong with american capitalism with the use of other people's money to purchase assets to basically destroy them so he can enrich himself. we have to start making a distinction between capitalists that make like jon huntsman 's father or steve jobs or people like that and capitalists who take like mitt romney and others who use the leverage system to get money but they're not actually creating value.
>> we asked people before the break, what's a greedy bastard. some people said venture capitalists . . how do you define greedy bas tarred?
>> it's very simply a behavior. it's not an identity. so the any human being is capable of exhibiting greedy bastard behavior at any given time. we have to get better at spotting greedy bastard and punishing each other. whoever it is, whatever it might be and greedy bastard is the behavior of me getting money from you without creating value for you. i use deception. i don't use shared visibility. iot use integrity. i don't give you choice, right? i basically manipulate you into giving me money supposed to creating value for you.
>> or manipulating the system.
>> or the system.
>> that's right.
>> we all could be be greedy bastards. i don't think everybody can. one person tweeted bernie madoff. not everyone would do that.
>> but again, but what about the guy who is completely healthy collecting three workman's comp checks.
>> okay. that's not everyone.
>> but my point is, everybody is capable of greedy bastard behavior. the difference is with the 1%, it's one thing if a guy takes a workman's comp check . he can't do that much damage. he can't do that much daniel but if mitt romney or any of the 1 percenters exhibit greedy bastard behavior, the difference is not that the behavior is any worse. it's that they're attached to so much power when they exhibit it, they're remarkably destructive to our country. so the we have punish the behavior in the most powerful, the most aggressively because behavior when the powerful people do it is so much more dangerous.
>> that brings me to my finally question. what would the punishment be? the issue of income disparity, the issue of haves and have nots, a certain class being exploited through slavery, through the on thetification of women in the workplace and paying us less, whatever it is, these things have been a constant fiber not just in this country but in the world. people talk a lot about china and how successful it is. when you look at the population of china and those people.
>> talk to the guys at fox con.
>> who can't turn on a light switch outside of beijing. this notion that it just exists here it ridiculous. but nonetheless, what would be the correction?
>> the only reason i'm so optimistic, just to reinforce your point, in addition to what exists now, rich people nem government have been screwing over poor people for as long as there have been rich people in government. talk to the pharaohs and egyptians. london in the 1830s .
>> fast forward me to the solution.
>> the only thing that's different now is for the first time in the history of the world , we have the ability to get the first thing in the greedy bastards which is global visibility because for the first time in the history of the world , we have a global communications net that we're already seeing happen. so you and i are more aware of the state of the chinese slaves at fox con. you and i are more aware of what's going on in the middle east and if we collectively as a planet, the 99% of the earth, forget america , decide to integrate, which is happening naturally anyway, that we will be in a position to make it more and more difficult for the greedy bastards because like vampires they can't handle the smoin. so when you put visibility on what they are doing and show how they're doing it, it becomes remarkably more different. the pharaohs and the samurai didn't have to fight the internet. they didn't even have the internet when they did the civil rights movement . we have it in 2012 and people are using it around the world and it is the only reason i'm so optimistic. i think we're about to be able to solve one of the most destructive problems in mankind.
>> you have your website greedy bastards.com. you can watch dylan ratigan 's show 4:00 p.m . as he attempts to lead the revolution.
>> well, it's happening with or without us.
>> it's happening. speaking of what's happening, manufacturing is key to
