In this YouTube video we quickly see the difference between casino CEO Steve Wynn vs Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm. Here is the transcript (courtesy Infidels are Cool):

WALLACE: Steve Wynn, where do you draw the line between the proper role of government in all of this and the proper role of the private sector?

WYNN: Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization’s history. For some reason, that simple truth has evaded everybody.

The only thing that creates an increased standard of living is giving someone a job, the demand for their labor, whether it’s you and I, Chris, or anybody else.

The people that are paying the price for this juggernaut of federal spending are the middle class and the working class of America. And soaring rhetoric and great speeches, with or without a Teleprompter, aren’t going to change the truth. And the truth is the biggest enemy, the biggest obstacle, that working middle class America has is government spending.

WALLACE: Wait, let me — let me…

WYNN: And until the…

WALLACE: Steve, let me — let me bring in Governor Granholm. It looks like she wants to come out of her seat at this.

GRANHOLM: Well, I mean, it’s just so…

WYNN: It’s OK with me.

GRANHOLM: … simplistic to say that, with all due respect. I mean, to say that government has never created a job or increased the standard of living — you know, I mean, there are a lot of people who are grateful that in this country we have a minimum wage.

There are a lot of people who are grateful that they have access to Medicare and Medicaid. And I hope that we get access further to additional health care for those who are right now uninsured.

I mean, there is a balance here. To say that government is all evil — this is a democracy. It’s the greatest country in the world. We happen to have…

WYNN: But I didn’t say that.

GRANHOLM: … a lot less government than many other countries do. But I’m telling you, to say that there is no role for government is just — I mean, it’s just…

ZANDI: Chris, can I make a point?

WYNN: But I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that at all.

WALLACE: Let me — Mr. Zandi, I promise I’m going to get you in.

But go ahead, Mr. Wynn.

WYNN: I didn’t say that at all. I’m saying that the source of government revenue, the source of well-being in this country, is employment. That allows companies to pay taxes, employees to pay taxes. That’s the source here. And it’s gotten out of focus. There’s no…

GRANHOLM: I agree. I agree with you.

WYNN: OK. That’s my point, Governor. I’m not making any other point. And believe me, ma’am, I’ve got 20,000 employees. I’ve had as many as 150,000 families that I’ve been self-insuring. There’s nothing simplistic about my approach to this problem.
