  • I love susan sarandon.

  • It's funny how the losers defending Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore claim that these people are not part of the 1%, because they made their money "without exploiting people". Meanwhile, everybody in the 1% is an evil thief? Except those heroic liberal celebrities? What a joke you are. If you believe such shit, then you deserve to stay poor.

  • The OWS will never amount for anything as long as these rich liberal hypocrites are part of it... These people just ruin the movement and make it look like a joke. This is why this movement is a failure.

  • @SteveSmith26 The teaparty is more of a failure!! The teaparty has disappeared and have been replaced by OWS. Where are the teaparty candidates for president, all the hoopla was about nothing as always thought.lol

  • She is vague and uses undefinable words like 'Just’ and 'Fair’. Susan, lets cut to the chase. They elected the man who you supported in 2008. They also gave his party a majority in the house and senate for the first 2 years of his administration. Gitmo, Military Tribunals, Patriot act, Shooting missiles into foreign countries killing Americans without due process, Bush tax cuts. We still have these. Your 'Hope and Change’ president has failed you.

  • Rich celebrities are like dictators; they have tons of brainwashed idiots following them and they are treated like gods and receive millions. This is what is wrong with the world right now. Poverty will never disappear as long as these people are treated like kings.  Fuck Susan Sarandon!

  • This stupid hateful liberal bitch just insulted all the catholics. Fuck her and fuck the stupid Occupy movement.

  • Gotta love the hypocritical liberals logic : the 1% are evil, but if they are liberals, then it means they are good people and deserve their money. LOL!

  • What a dumb bitch. And lol at the retards who think that rich celebrities are not part of the 1%.

  • I hope that stoner is enjoying his meal.

  • shes doesn't all the facts but her basic principles are right. I like the fact that even though she doesn't know all the facts at least she admits she doesn't know.

  • The guy sucking his fingers was trying to keep it "authentic" about not caring about the rich actress. In the end the guy looks like a joke and shows the disrespect that many of these protesters have. He's a scene kid and should have been paying attention to what she was saying not trying to appear as if he had better things to do. To those out there, really there for the protest against greed and manipulation and harm against life..Thank you.

  • If this steroidal plastic surgical bulging eyed witch was for the occupiers then why is she hoarding all the millions she made from her stupid movies? She should dish out some of her moolah to the protesters or offer them jobs in her movie making business & connections. This ain't gonna happen cuz she's just as a phony hypocrite as the other cokehead hollywooders.

  • @extravirginclean ~ She's got a lot of moolah, yes, and yet she still cares enough about humanity to speak out against injustice, despite dumbasses who don't appreciate the courage this requires.

  • What does SS understand about financial suffering? Does she really care?

  • When asked for an example of what she would do: "I'd change the campaign financing laws...".

    This is dead-on. Nothing progressive (of benefit to the 99%) will happen unless corporations are no longer paying for election campaigns.

  • @ucancallmeOh Tell that to Obama - he has received more Corporate "donations" than all nine Republican candidates COMBINED !

  • @MetalDetroit ~ Obama stinks! You won't get an argument from me on that point. He should have had a new investigation into the crimes that have begun the self-destruction of this country: 9/11. The Military Industrial Complex has gotten trillions of tax dollars and given us dead and seriously injured military and innocent civilians in the lands we've unjustly occupied. The War on Terror ---> Patriot Act and loss of many civil liberties.

  • This is the same windbag who bitched and moaned that she was leaving the country if McCain won in 2008. I wonder how Hope & Change is doing for her and the rest of the Hollywood puppets now.

  • whenever fathers becomes selfish..children suffer

  • interesting "power doesn't give up power unless its been wrenched from them"..so true.

  • Why don't you shower the people with some of your millions that you've made, Susie. Open up your own investment portfolio and redistribute some of your wealth among the people, like your guy Obama advocates. Another Hollywood fraud.

  • "we are the 100%" Deepak Chopra

  • Even though there is a disjointed message, people cry for freedom. Occupy

  • I complete disagree with the stupid 'occupy' movement.

    But i still love Susan Sarandon!

    GIABO

  • Will someone send the old bag home please? This is what democracy looks like? A democracy means a person can vote. Our country IS NOT a democracy. America is a REPUBLIC; this means we have a government that works on behalf of the people.

  • Hey! It's the trustfund baby hippie in the background that was crying, "HELP US!" in another video, licking his fingers. Is that such a wise thing to do when there are no toilets, showers, or sinks in these Crapupy movements? But then again, maybe a good dose of Salmonella poisoning for these vermin will disperse them out. The "movement" will end because of all their "movements" they take on the sidewalks and lawns. How ironic that would be!

  • e-z2mh1ACl8 just cut and paste to YT search box)

    The BIG Picture of the New World Order

  • So how much money do you need to have in order to be lumped in as a 1%? Because I'm pretty sure she's there. Maybe you should ask why an actor makes 20 million dollars for 3 months work. Is that fair??? Do actors really work harder than the rest of us? This is rediculous!!

  • I guess she won't be voting for Obama again, with all his crony capitalism and getting contributions from Solyndra for giving them half a billion dollars in bailout money. She didn't lose any money? Maybe she's best friends with Nancy Pelosi and all of her corrupt insider trading info helped? Transparency? Like I said, I guess she'll be voting Republican next year since Obama's "transparency" turned out to be a farce. Susan, get in one of those lice and ringworm infested tents already!

  • @dirtydavy Why would she vote republican? They are all about corporations and giving them 'breaks'. Both parties are. dirtydavy,be a sheep already! oh wait...

  • I love how Sue pisses of the REICH.

    She's a beautiful person through and through.

  • @Thejbirdy susan sarandon has a daughter who is an actress----very typical of inbred hollywood.

    and sarandon also appeared in PREETY BABY, with a naked 12 year old brook shields, which is another sign of sarandon being a sick peice of shit.

  • @monk22yrs Oh my God! Sarandon w/ a daughter who's an actress! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! And can you BELIEVE IT? Even the kids of musicians tend to LIKE MUSIC TOO!! OH MY GOD!! HORRENDOUS!

    The movie(you meant to spell)"Pretty baby" did not have Brooke Shields completely naked but the movie poster did. Yes disturbing in that sense but not shocking for the liberal 70's. All the bible thumpers have made sure to freak people out however. How did that have to do w/ S.S. though? She just acts....

  • @Thejbirdy (1) in an interview in the 70s movie CRAWDADDY sarrandon had no problem with shields being naked---and she was naked in movie, not poster.

    (2) john huston in 50s called hollywood the most inbred place in the world.

    (3) sarandon had a villa in italy---she never said anything bad about italy's fascist, anti-semitic past

    (4) name one kid of a rich actor or musician who became a rocket scientist or brain surgeon, instead of an actor, like lassie....doesnt take any brains to act

  • @monk22yrs I never saw a scene where she was fully nude....baloney.

    John Huston is dead and he said that b/c his daughter was in movies, so whatever. Many young new actors make it on their own...again baloney.

    Sarandon had a villa in Italy, so do wealthy businessmen. Pfft

    Why do I have to name anyone? Name it yourself chief. Most musicians don;t make a ton of money once their fame dries up so not always do the kids get the same fame, even Beatles kids. No brains? Tell that to theatre actors

  • @Thejbirdy ...70s magazine crawdaddy....

  • OK, now go to your hideout in LA and feel good about yourself, relating to small people.

    Wow so impressive. What a wis ole hippy you are Susan, gee, i'm in awe.

  • Susan Sarandon is beautiful, inside and out. She is for the 99%. Only stupid, shallow, insecure people would insult her.

  • @notimetodd call me shallow but she is a bloody cunt pustule

  • @notimetodd Sarandon IS the 1%

  • @MetalDetroit ~ I don't know if she is or is not the 1%.

    If she is the 1%: F---ing awesome! That's fantastic to get a 1%er to fight for us.

    If she is the upper end of the 99%: Great! A sister with a voice and the courage to use it.

    She has moral courage, which, to me, makes her all the more beautiful.

  • @MetalDetroit The 1 % are the individuals who make profit when others lose their jobs, pensions and social security. She has made her money by other means, like acting so you shouldn't demonize her.

  • @jabe55 Clearly you do not know that the 1% refers to. It refers to the wealthiest 1% of Americans. (Anyone making more than $360,000 per year. She has made tens of millions pretending to be someone else in her movies - obviously is in the 1% of Wealthiest Americans.

  • @MetalDetroit Yes, I do know, buddy. The difference is that the 1% who the people are protesting against aren't the hollywood actors because hollywood isn't stealing our money, cutting our jobs and taking away our pensions, wall street is behind some of these problems. You can't use this 1% slogan to demonize anyone who makes more than $360,000 a year because the protests are directed towards the criminals in wall st. not the hollywood actors; otherwise, we'd have an "Occupy Hollywood" rally.

  • @jabe55 Protests are directed at the "criminals" on Wall Street..... Well MAYBE the protests should be redirected where they BELONG! GOVERNMENT that created the 80,000 pages of insane tax laws and "loopholes". The same government that makes it cheaper to operate overseas than to operate here because of idiotic government rules and regulations. And I thought you OWS wanted the rich to pay more in taxes..again - Sarandon IS one of the 1% - Let HER give her money to a wasteful government.

  • @MetalDetroit Listen, I do not care about Susan Sarandon. It isn't like she's paying me to defend her on youtube or something so i won't make it a priority to defend her. The government is run by banks on wall street, such as the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America and Chase who all bet big bail outs (or big blow jobs) from the federal government whenever they are in danger of bankruptcy. The Fed. Reserve prints the money so they control the economy, not D.C.

  • @jabe55 so now you are saying Hollywood isn't corporate? GIMME A BREAK. you have much to learn.

  • @jabe55 Not exactly. They're simply the ones that make more money than 99% of the rest of the population. You don't necessarily have to be a 1%er to be exploiting people and making profit off of people struggling in the recession.

    Susan Serandon isn't a 1%er. More importantly, like you said, she doesn't make her money by exploiting people.

  • @jabe55 Lol do you hear the dumb shit you just said? This is one of the dumbest statement I have ever hear.

  • @SteveSmith26 Please explain how it's dumb? Last time I checked, the 1% percent who the protests were aimed at are the ones who made profit from people's losses of jobs, social security, mortgage and pensions. Sure, hollywood actors make plenty of money, but not at the expense of people's losses.

  • @jabe55 So all the rich people are evil people who profit from the losses of others, except the self-rightous liberal millionaires of course. LOL!

  • @jabe55 You are so full of shit. When a movie has a budget of 30 millions and they give a 5 million salary to a liberal millionnaire, that's only 25 millions left for the 500 other people working on the movie, instead of distributing the money more evenly. Sounds like profiting to me. Oh wait, these people have a right to exploit others because they are liberals. LOL!

  • @SteveSmith26 Let me repeat this again. The OWS movement is NOT aimed towards the actors, it is aimed towards those who rob the everyday people who make an honest living, specifically the banks and the those who profited from other's losses. Actors sign contracts before they take roles in movies so the real culprit are the individuals who make those contracts for them. If you have a problem with hollywood actors then rally up some friends and start an Occupy Hollywood Movement.

  • @jabe55 These OWS hate everyone who is part of the top 1% of the society. They claim all these people are evil and profiting from the poor... except those rightous liberal millionaires of course! What a convenient exception huh. There is 0 difference between a CEO earning 5 millions and a Hollywood celebrity earning 5 millions. Both of them receive a huge portion of the company's money, while most of the workers are underpaid. If you can't see this, then you are a moron.

  • @SteveSmith26 Hey, idiot! It is called Occupy Wall St. for a reason. The big banks in wall st. have major influence on our government, not to mention the fact that Obama received most of his campaign funds from Goldman Sach's. In some cases, wall street runs our government, hence the occupation. Hollywood's power in relation to wall st. is minimal, at best. Makes sense, now? Good! If you're not going to protest Hollywood then shut your pie-hole, cowboy! Okay! Bye, bye now!

  • @jabe55 The so called 1% are allowed to do this because the corrupt government [Obama/Bush] have allowed htme to through government deals or deregulation. The rest earned their money through hard work.

  • @warriorprince1010 Agreed! Maybe you should tell that to SteveSmith26 who is too busy contradicting both of us on this video commentary.

  • @jabe55 Obama is doing just as many, maybe more, back room deals with big business. The poor are getting poorer under Obama he is no different at all.

  • @warriorprince1010 Agreed! Presidents are not put into power to change policies, but to keep things the way they are. They will lie and deceive the people to get their votes and support. Since John Kennedy's assassination, presidents have been nothing more than puppets of the corporate interest. The same goes for the legislative and judicial branch of government who have been bought and paid for.

  • @jabe55 She is the 1%

  • @jabe55actors get way too much money,i can see that greedy wall streeters would have looked at what actors got& thought well i should get that too,when you give ppl that amount of money it makes others expect it too,im not against stars getting money,but 1million an episode or10million a movie is ridiculous,one thing ppl seem to forget is they used hollywood to dumb people down,so they dont notice what is going on,so no i dont feel for the stars.they are just ordinary ppl that other ppl glorify.

  • @notimetodd If she's so great how come she doesn't give away her millions to the poor and live a modest lifestyle. Its easy to simply say you believe in helping people its harder to actually do it. Shes an ignorant hypocrite and Hollywood celebrities giving kids advice makes me want to puke.

  • @Jamespot24 ~ That's just stupid.

    How come Rush Limbaugh (or whoever you admire who has a lot of bread) hasn't given millions to make a difference in this world. Oh, wait..there's the Koch brothers-- they donate a lot of money to Scott Walker and school board candidates who will lower their taxes and ease the regulations for them.

    Susan Sarandon is beautiful, intelligent, and caring; and you are ugly, stupid, and hateful.

  • @notimetodd Bush for example gives over 10% of his income to charity a year, yet does not advocate the government forced redistribution on wealth. Susan Serandon does, shouldnt she be giving 20%-30% of her income

  • @Jamespot24 ~ You mean this Bush family?:

    "Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched."

    George Bush Senior speaking in an interview with

    Sarah McClendon in December 1992

  • @notimetodd I dont know the validity of that quote, but anyone beats Obama! That guy is WEAK, hes a coward, hes a modern jimmy carter! Hes probably never been in a fist fight.

    If he came back and i was banging his wife he'd probably give me a speech on his teleprompter!

  • @Jamespot24 wonder what kinda tax break he gets for that 10 %

  • @anonismorefun Well if you contribute $500 to charity, you are able to deduct $500 from your net income.

    So if you are getting taxed at 35% and you give $1000 you get a $350 tax break.

  • @Jamespot24 do not forget the benefits he will collect for the rest of his life, not to mention secret service. . .that taxpayers are paying for. . .susan sarandon earned her money. bush JR. just raped this country . . .add up to you?

  • @anonismorefun Well if you consider acting for 3weeks and getting paid millions earning money...

    Fact is most Hollywood celebrities don't understand the real world. They live in a fantasy land where money is practically handed to them and people kiss their ass.

    Anyways I didn't say Bush was a good president. I was making the point of how if a corporatist like Bush can give 10% those Occupy celebrities should be giving like 50%-60% and set a good example.

  • @notimetodd im being constantly insulted for supporting occupy movement. im staying strong. no matter what anyone says. i support this movement 100 percent. so keep on hating me. keep on responding with hate mail. go ahead.

  • @khorn1994 ~ Could you have me mixed-up with someone else? I'm for OWS.

    While I'm here...

    Global Insurrection Against Banker Occupation: GIABO

  • @notimetodd your a socialist pig just like her and tim robbins and the rest of the 1% in hollywood your movement is spoused to hate the one percent but love the ones that come down for a day then call there wallstreet guy to get more more money but it ok for them but not for these bankers why are you not at the white house Obama got more money from wall street the any in hystory but you dont care about that cause he's one of your commie,socialist buddys GO TEA PART the true americns

  • @notimetodd why, do you know her personally? or the "roles' she portrays?

  • What would an insulated self important overrated usedtawas know about the ersatz grievances of a mob most of whom are too young to know who she is?

  • She's RICH WHAT THE FUCK NIGGI

  • look at the guy in the bllue shirt in the background look at his arm haha

  • The first specific she gives is fundamental campaign finance reform. This is spot-on. Nothing progressive change will be made while political leaders are prostitutes who service multi-national corporations.

    Susan Sarandon is a good person.

  • @ucancallmeOh sarandan is an idiot - she supports obama who has stolen trillions and is trying to kill america - shes a traitor

  • @egeek10 ~ Millions of us were "idiots" for supporting Ohbummer. We believed him and we believed in him. He turned out to be little better than Bush the Dunce who set this country on a course for destruction. She's not a traitor; the monsters who conspired to commit 9/11 are traitors, and the mainstream media that covers up their crimes are traitors.

  • @ucancallmeOh so you were a ;oor judge of character in 2008 but now youre vouching for sarandan lol

    and if you think israel or america did 9-11 youve proven to be quite confused as well

  • @egeek10 America did do 9/11 and has already been exposed. Marvin Bush was involved with World Trade Center security through Securacom beforehand, making it easy to rig the building with explosives. It will all come out in the future, continue to watch O Reilly and spout your ignorant drivel.

  • @infowazz i dont watch oreilly and youre a true dumb ass - seriously yer as dumb as they cum - fuck yer fake god allah

  • @egeek10 yup Allah is the sheet man! you're hopeless and you think i'm hopeless....so go enjoy your version of hopeless ignorance. go play Modern Warfare and drink your Redbull. smoke some weed, get real introspective and reflect on the latest episode of Family Guy.

  • @egeek10 ~ Yes, I believed Obama in 2007 and '08, and I believed the OS (Official Story) of 9/11 for many years. They say that gulability is a sign of an honest person, so I guess I'm honest at least.

    I'm actually in very good company re: both Obama and the OS. Here's OS:

    Patriotsquestion911(dot)com

    AE911truth(dot)org

    uDnhBIuNzSU (cut and paste to YT search box)

    Military Officers for 9/11 Truth

    Firefightersfor 911truth

    Pilotsfor911truth

    Many family members of victims want truth too

  • @ucancallmeOh interesting sites - i will study them but on initial inspection dont see groundbreaking (no pun intended) information that it wasnt an islamic attack - most people dont realize there were stinger missiles heat seeking on the roof of pentagon that would have fired automatically and possibly obliterated wing sections before impact - i will look again for something that looks odd but im 99% sure it was muslim terror (im a 99%er) - i wont fault you for learning - fl800 was a missile

  • @egeek10 ~ Thank you for saying that you would study them. I look forward to your reply, but urge you to take your time and please keep an open mind.

    BTW, the truth movement never said that OBL and the 19 hijackers never existed or weren't engaged in terrorist activity; they are simply saying that OS (Official Story) is filled with lies and they (we) want the TRUTH.

  • It's simple, Susan. For the past 30 years democrats and republicans have been deregulating the financial industry and cutting taxes on the rich. And you and the rest of us didn't care enough to do anything about it.

  • Why doesn't she donate her millions to the "cause"....after all she got her money through CAPITALISM!

  • @basenjib123 you're so fucking braindead.

  • @basenjib123

    they are the true defenders of CAPITALISM

    unlike trolls like you who supports fascism sucker

  • Let's see here..ugly, ugly, ugly comments. So many of you sound like a bunch of nazi fascist supremacists!

  • brave women, she can get killed by doing this

  • Maybe she should give them her house to stay in, since she cares so much, and some of her millions. Or, maybe she should pitch a tent with them. What a hypocrite. These left wing celebs are some of the ultimate "benefitters" of capitalism. lol

  • No wonder this bitch is a washed up actress...just look at her, lol.

  • YOU GO, SUSAN!

    Sane people all love you.

    Rightwing fucktards are just rightwing fucktards, as usual. Worthless pieces of shit...

  • she's an idiot

  • @wentstar1 ~ Is she an idiot for supporting OWS in general, or for wanting campaign finance reform?

  • i love this woman.

  • interesting

  • So let me get this straight a million dollar actress is protesting greed?

  • @xtranormal23 ~ Yes! Believe it or not! Not everyone in this world only cares about himself/ herself. Awesome, ain't it!

  • @ucancallmeOh I think you miss my point, I meant she probably has a 100g car, designer purse, and more than enough money to live the rest of her life. I was more going toward her being a hypocrite but if you believe that she actually cares about unfair pay and what not than you are not as pessimistic as I.

  • @xtranormal23 ~ You are very young to be pessimistic, although you have good reason to be. I think Ms. Sarandon is a beautiful person, inside and out.

    Here is a present for you (if you've never seen it, that is):

    sHQ_aTjXObs

    Words of wisdom

  • @xtranormal23 It is not about greed, but about corruption and manipulation of the banks and state.

  • Who in the hell would be stupid enough to listen to this idiotic ACTRESS. Degree in Drama from Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C

  • @Redlegarty ~ I would be stupid enough to listen to this talented, intelligent ACTRESS. She makes a lot of sense. She says we need fundamental campaign finance reform, which to me means zero dollars from corporations. That is dead-on. Nothing progressive will happen until corporations are prohibited from funding elections. This is COMMON SENSE.

  • @ucancallmeOh You mean the corporate wall street crowd that funded Mr. hope and change Obama? No candidate has ever recieved as much Wall Street money as that clown.

  • @Redlegarty ~ You make no sense. She is on the side of the 99%, trying to help us, and people like you insult her. She and other celebrities such as Lupe Fiasco could just be silent on the sidelines, but they've chosen the courageous path of speaking out against injustice. If you can't be appreciative of what they are doing, the least you could do is not insult them. Again...COMMON SENSE.

  • hey its the one arm dude from scary movie 2 :0

  • Fuck her. That's funny village idiots. Susan Serandon has millions. Doubt she'd give shit to any of you occupy fucks. This whole thing is a joke no hows. BOTTOM LINE- IF AMERICA IS THAT BAD- GET THE FUCK OUT. Stock your ammo boys, WAR's coming.

  • @bthedirtydog Dead on post bro. You ever notice how many hypocritical bazillionaires like her, Michael Moore, Brad Pitt are throwing their hats into the shit ring. Effing ACTORS lol.

  • shes in a movie about wall street 

  • S.S. thanks for aide 2 Elites cause, thanks Pope 4 new book that aided cause. Marxist reigns, Socialism will take over w/world bank, one world leader that will take over all global economic-financial-religion actions. Can't wait 4 a lot of people 2 die to reach goal of 500 million population as planned by Elites. thanks wall street occ. for ur efforts n ur own destruction. Keep it up!

  • Good people who are 'with' OWS: When you hear people talk about the Fed (Federal Reserve System) do you feel like you are out of the loop? I just listened to an essential source on this issue: "The Creature From Jekyll Island" by Griffin.  The CD is only 74 min. and about $5. (If you're a reader, by all means get the book.) This will get you up-to-speed in little over an hour. George Carlin said, "The owners of this country don't want a well-informed population..." Knowledge is power.

  • Cool

  • wow another Rich liberal like Mike Moore,

    write a check bitch

  • Sarandon, Another stupid liberal rich bitch. Flies in a private jet, get some free publicity air time, then leaves you ass clown protesters, are all suckers.

  • Ron Paul is a 9/11 Truth Denier. How can anyone look at the video footage of WTC 7 collapsing and not believe that it was controlled demolition. There is a lot of evidence to show that 9/11 was a false flag operation.

    The MIC (Military Industrial Complex for the unfamiliar) that Eisenhower warned about, is out of control. 9/11 has left this country morally and financially bankrupt.

  • @notimetodd "Ron Paul is a 9/11 Truth Denier."

    No, he isn't.

  • @MillionthUsername ~ Universal Healthcare - for many who have it, and/or have a job, it's the old 'I've got mine...too bad for you.' This is stupid and selfish. And it's not cost effective since people get to Stage 4 then get treated, instead of getting treated at Stage 1.

  • @notimetodd By "universal health care," you don't really mean universal health care. What you and others mean is a fascist cartel system, not a free health care market. Isn't that right? If that's the case, I really wish you say that. Then try to explain why having some sort of mafia control the medical industry is either ethical or economical. I would also like to know which punishments you want to impose on people who decide to make their own decisions regarding their health.

  • @MillionthUsername ~ The insurance companies have all the control. Why not just let people who do not have insurance buy into Medicare? Easy peezy. As for penalties: If you don't have insurance, and you get into an accident or develop a serious/expensive medical condition-- are we then supposed to say, "Sorry, you didn't pay in, so now you have to suffer/die"? It's not perfect to MAKE people get it or pay a penalty, but it's fair.

  • @notimetodd The situation with "health care" in the US is seriously screwed up and they keep making it worse. What I'm talking about is removing the source of the problem - government intervention. That is what CAUSES the astronomical prices and the perceived need for "insurance." We wouldn't need insurance if the cartel structure was broken. It's a protected industry. Making a few more tweaks isn't going to reform it. We have to restore the free market. People need to understand this.

  • @MillionthUsername ~ I couldn't disagree with you more. Why should I shop around for healthcare coverage via the free market? Do I know if I'm going to need coverage for some rare disease? What about people who are not savvy enough to shop around? No, this doesn't make sense. Just have everyone covered. If you can afford fancier healthcare, by all means go ahead keep it/ get it. But everyone should be cared for.

  • @notimetodd Freedom doesn't make any sense to you? Then why the hell are you complaining? You should just shut the hell up and bow down to your masters. You want fascists to make billions off your stupidity, and they are. So you already have what you want. You want to make it against the law for there to be a free market in health care, and then you complain that the cartels you support aren't serving you properly? That's just plain nuts!

  • @MillionthUsername ~ "You want to make it against the law for there to be a free market in health care" -- Words I Never Said.

    I'm saying there should be coverage for people who can't afford it. Do you think the owner of the local pizza shop or mechanic (not franchise) can afford "free market" health care? 33% of the premium goes to the insurance companies. Many young adults think they don't need healthcare. A percentage of them will need it though, due to accident or illness.
