  • Calm down Cenk

  • @Destroyer220 Tell Glenn Beck to calm down, he's much worse.

  • @BoredomCorner He is...is that supposed to be a compliment to Cenk or something? Lol.

  • Do they always equate poor with lazy? What about me? Im not poor but not even quite middle class. I am a teacher. People put the children's minds and bodies in my care. I put in many many hours in teaching, preparing, correcting, and doing extracurricular activities like sports,drama club, etc. I work very hard for my students, my family, and my community. And I still don't work as hard as a single mother with 2 part time jobs and no benefits. Let the rich pay more, they will still stay rich

  • @SkinnyWmn69 Leave it up to the Republicans (now controlled by Tea Party Rep's.

    ...we will have a 2 class society.....the VERY wealthy and the VERY poor. Those bastards are willing to put our economy, the stock market and the Country on a very steep precipice just to make Obama look bad! SCREW YOU BASTARD POLITICIANS, FOR ONCE, JUST ONCE....DO WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY! Remove the tax loopholes JUST FOR THE WEALTHY & TAX THEM THEIR FAIR SHARE. Nothing left to take from the middle class.

  • This liberal makes me sick,the wealthy earn it.

  • @MrTabby5000 And keep it. And that's a probably why don't they deserve to pay taxes?

  • @MrTabby5000 So does every other working person in the world, but the rich never pay anything, while the middle-class is taxed into oblivion.

    There's nothing liberal about seeing that as wrong: you just have to have a brain.

  • Why are people soooo pissed about somebody working their asses off for the dream of a better lifestyle??? We are taxed for everything in this country sometimes four or five times before the final product gets to the fucking consumer... I guess there are those who get off their asses to make a living and those worthless chumps who pout all day with a thumb up their ass... I'm blue collar, but proud of every dime I earn.

  • Hey McDudd, The controls were taken off by your liberal buddies and congress. It was addressed by republicans and your wonderful Maxine Water, Barney Franks and the other ilk fought to let this happen. Open your eyes.

  • the tax system in this country is seriously that messed up? what ever happened to progessive taxsation?

  • eat the rich

  • my assumption is that you were against one of the biggest welfare check... the welfare bank bailout. How come no one calls them stupid and lazy. They nearly destroyed America with dumb decisions.

  • I work hard for my wealth,And dont want my wealth paying for welfare for the poor and lazy.

  • re: MrTabby5000

    9/hr isn't considered wealth. sorry.

  • Im a ceo of an insurance company.well really an assistant ceo.

  • oh wow, good for you. Typical selfish bastard. Although I can see your tired, over-used point, you - like other Republicans (and I bet what little money I have that you are one) - you like to group all those people who weren't FORTUNATE enough to become rich as being lazy and free-loading, without considering their circumstances might be very different from yours. And no, not everyone can make it in America just by trying hard. That's a lame bit of propoganda.

  • Im worth 20 million,I work at an insurance company.

  • @MrTabby5000 you want a cookie?

  • @itinkuno

    I want another tax cut,and will get it.

  • @MrTabby5000 Yeah, if you want me to stop disliking entitled rich people, you are doing an excellent job. You make me want to vote for your tax cuts. You are clearly a wonderful, generous person. I value money even more then I value being humble and unpretentious. ALL OF WHICH YOU HAVE/are. So, really, you win at life. Just for being rich AND kind. Calling people who have less then you "lazy" is what really made me take your side. Kudos on winning at life. Enjoy the expensive blow.

  • @MrTabby5000 Most americans already had a tax cut this year, and its still not enough? Things must be bad over there. I feel sorry for you bro. Here was me feeling sorry for myself because my new kitchen is way more expensive than I planned, and I keep forgetting how much worse it could be. Hope things get better for you soon.

  • I work hard for my wealth, but I acknowledge my responsibilites and accept my part in helping my fellow man as being the moral thing to do, and ultimately in my own best interests anyway. I stand with my neighbours, not on them.

  • Fine,you could support the poor and lazy if you choose to give them welfare their whole life,I dont.

  • We dont have as many lazy or poor here so its not really a problem. But in the end Its in my own self interest to support the welfare system, and its why Norway is the best country in the world to live without exception. If I have to pay high taxes to enjoy that, so be it :)

  • @morganbath Sweden is the same way.

  • @morganbath You win 100 internets! Also, my respect. Seriously, this is the most noble comment I've happened upon today. WANNA BE "friends"?

  • They're not a convenience, they're a copout.

  • Tax havens are not unpatriotic.

    They're a convenience.

  • What is the problem with these republicans cheating on their wives and yet cannot and do not have the balls to resign?

  • The only good thing about people like you is your stupidity is a reminder to people with a brain how lucky they are to not be a complete retard like you.

  • what a douchebag you are. kool-aid drinker. death to obama

  • Try not to kill youself.

  • I's watch my mouth about death to Obama! Your Bush killed how many American troops and spent 2.4 trillion in Iraq you twit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It seem like you been drinking too much Kool-Aid.... jajajajajajajaja

  • Today was a good example what a super douchebag obama really is, I hope he gets liver cancer and dies a horrible death. maybe he can put his wife back out on the streets to make money for his insane healthcare proposal. I am sure that is where he found her.

  • Obama's the douchebag while you wish death upon the man who's going to determine the Health Care system you'll operate under and then personally take a jab at his wife.

    You're the douchebag, there's nothing further to say.

  • Check the average life expectancy and child mortality in us and compare it with the rest of the world and you see that us is on line with eastern europe. its sad you cant take care of your own people.

  • Bush has never killed Americans?

    He over-stepped his boundaries as Chief Executive to initiate a battle between nations that had no bearing in the war on terror and has since killed thousands of our own troops and lives of different nations.

    Don't step onto the field of Stem Cell research because that requires facts; something you're not acquainted with.

  • AMEN Brother.

  • So only what drinks kool-aid?

  • What an extraordinarily stupid stereotype to try and exploit to attack your Commander in Chief. What I don't understand is two things: 1) How 'crazy libs' are somehow less patriotic for using facts and morals in their arguments while you self-proclaimed conservatives disrespect your own leader by attempting to degrade him with the 400-year old slander that actually helped him get into office

    and

    2) How you can possibly feel clever spouting that nonsense.

  • god republicans are fucking ignorant.. before Ronald wilson Reagan (666) there was 300 registered lobbiyist and now there is 200,000.. de regulation is the reason for this and clinton is just as responsisble for this as bush and reagan.. and if rich create jobs then why the last 8 years when the rich got so rich.. weve lost record jobs.. go educate yourself you ignorant ass jackasses..

  • you are the stupid one young turk, it is the rich who create jobs not the governmemt

  • Yes, the Rich are creating jobs........IN CHINA.

    Due to the capital class of this nation moving jobs overseas to take advantage of reduced labor costs, this nation has lost an enormous number of well paid manufacturing jobs. Some of them have been replaced with lower paid service jobs. In the ninties and early years of this decade, this was called the "new economy". Well this "new economy" was driven by rising housing prices, fueled by speculation, not the "riches jobs" And that bubble burst.

  • So what we're saying here is fuck global markets, let's get this money to the government that is spending so intelligently!

    This is not a popularity contest, this is a fight to get correct economic information out there over overwhelming support for rhetoric and "popular" political ploys. Wake up America, what are you trying to achieve?

  • Wow, how can taxing off-shore American companies be a bad thing? They are being completely unpatriotic and it is an unfair advantage for the cheating companies to have over the honest tax-paying companies.

  • Rnc i right though

  • The young turds are such flim flam artist. Let them go live in Cuba if they love socialism so much! These are the type people that paved the way for Nazi Germany with their personality cult worship of one Charismatic leader promising equal outcomes for all!

  • Go look up what Socialism means and tell me why you think we're headed towards that. I'd really like to know.

  • You look it up. You are on the internet!

  • Comment removed

  • Soooo you can't even provide a thoughtful, intelligent response huh? I'm asking for YOUR reasons. Why do YOU believe that nonsense?

    Defend yourself dumbass!

  • A curious feature of the most outspoken proponents of government redistribution of taxpayer money is that, often they are the stingiest among us when it comes to donating their own wealth to charity.

    Has Obama helped his brother, George in Kenya, who lives on less than one dollar a day or his Kenyan Aunt who lives in a ghetto slum? Obama is wealthy correct? Has Biden given more than $300 to charity since becoming vice-president?

  • "...often they are the stingiest among us..."

    Perhaps it's because the people you mentioned MAKE FAR LESS MONEY than many philanthropists. Here we go with the "redistribution of wealth" thing again. Do you really think the wealthiest few shouldn't pay more taxes? They can afford it.

    The old argument about them creating jobs with that money doesn't fly all the time. Oh sure, they create some but they're increasingly being made OVERSEAS. We lose jobs so they can make more money. Neat huh?

  • I'll type my comments 100,000,000 times if I want to. I will put a movie in and copy and paste them over and over again until I totally control the comment box with several thousand comments covering hundreds of pages if I so desire!

  • You posted that comment in a different thread already. You're trying to piss me off or whatever but it won't work. You're a fool. And a conservative fool no less, surprise surpise... =)

  • Comment removed

  • Again... Look up the definition. The USA is NOT headed towards Socialism or Communism. Shocked? I'm not surprised lol...

  • Comment removed

  • Wow, did you already forget what less regulation did for us? Some people (both Democrats AND Republicans) are perfectly happy to drive this country straight into the toilet just to make money.

    I think I touched a nerve there, did you finally realize that you can't back up your weak ass claims?

  • You need to read the book, "Meltdown" by Dr. Thomas Woods. Liberal regulation put us into this mess. The housing and redevelopment act is a regulation that helped put people into houses they couldn't afford to pay for. Democrats from Carter to Clinton wanted to look good to their minority voters.

    We had bus drivers living in 700,000 dollar houses. Regulation causes this to happen. Bush and McCain warned about this.

  • Well, "liberal regulation" sounds a lot like "less government" which you conservatives tout all the time... Don't you see where that got us? Are you blind?

    So in your mind more regulation causes people to live beyond their means? Can I have some of what you're smoking? If there were proper controls in place these greedy f**ks wouldn't have been able to grant so many stupid loans in the first place.

    Googling "housing and redevelopment act" failed, try again? (exact wording)

  • The act to which you reber only required that practive of red lining be stopped. It did not require that banks make loans to poor credit risks. The Banks did that on their own, knowing that the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would buy up the loans, thereby pushing the risk off to others, while the banks made money in upfront fees and service charges. The banks were ALWAYS free to establish sound lending policies based on income, debt and expenses. Due to greed, they chose to not do so.

  • No - In fact, the FED forced banks to accept TARP funds or get audited; moreover, the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), actually compelled banks to make bad loans!

  • Quote by sugarpuddin88:

    "the FED forced banks to accept TARP funds or get audited; moreover, the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), actually compelled banks to make bad loans!"

    Very true; however, if you ask the question, "Who Benefits?", you find out that the banks made huge amounts of money from these subprime loans. With that in mind:

    *Okayillgonow scratches his head* Hmm; I wonder which interest groups supported the CRA. ;)

  • Politicians are always empowered by handout programs

  • In 2006 & 2007, the Obamas gave 5.8 percent and 6.1 percent of their income to charity. The Bidens gave 0.15 percent and 0.31 percent of the income to charity.

    Meanwhile, in 1991, 1992 and 1993, George W. Bush had incomes of $179,591, $212,313 and $610,772. His charitable contributions those years were $28,236, $31,914 and $31,292. During his presidency, Bush gave away more than 10 percent of his income each year.

  • This is the weirdest comment box flame war that I've seen in some time on youtube! I do agree with the truthabounder person. Liberals want all of your money to do with it as they see fit because they are elitest and communist!

  • I am sick and tired of liberals voting down my comments and so this is how I will be commenting in the future on any video posted by a liberal. Please feel free to vote down the several thousand postings that I intend to place in this comment box if you have the time. You can also feel free to answer my original post on why Obama won't help his brother, George or his Aunt who lives in a ghetto slum.

  • Has Obama helped his brother, George in Kenya, who lives on less than a dollar a day or his Kenyan Aunt who lives in a slum? Obama is wealthy correct?
