Take Back the Dream

[sutfoLnagaJ14]

Is that the voice over dude from fallout 3?!?!?! WTF.

[peterman323]

415 people hate their landlords.

[CutieRouge1]

man, i can watch this video ALL day

[LadyBern]

Just having a roof that doesn't leak over my head is my dream.

[JDTV1995]

414 people had their house destroyed by a a guy throwing a brick at it

[JDTV1995]

1:00

[DrZaious]

They call it the American Dream because you have to be a sleep to believe it - George Carlin.

[SporeFan01234]

The going on earth virus brought me here :c

[axreaver]

one problem though...the rent is too damn high.

[NewAmericanDreamer]

Your video comment is spot on. Our point is neither to promote renting nor to make a statement against home ownership. Rather, the point is to make a thoughtful choice about what is right for you and define the American Dream for yourself, rather than to blindly accept what others may tell you it is. If you click on the bitly link under the video you'll hear what others say about the New American Dream - and it's not about renting or home ownership.

[fathead431]

some quality 90's animation there.

[RandomDimension]

The voice kinda reminds me of Half-Life

[jdub170]

if he could throw a brick that far... he should play baseball, earn millions and buy a home

[MissIcia]

Seriously. This is just wrong. What is so terrible about wanting to own something for yourself? When you rent your house, it can be taken away even if you pay for it.

[jasonfankhauser]

Fuck you rent.com.

[bellaforte]

This video is great! You know why I rather rent a place than own? I don't have patience to wait 15 years for my return on investment. Buying would mean spending well over 600k and being upside down until I was grey... after which I would be paying property taxes for the rest of my life in CA. To each their own, but If I'm going to be paying monthly for life regardless I'd at least like someone else to come out of pocket for the plumbing. Enter property manager.

[Listenbuddy1]

Is woo Peter North?

[Listenbuddy1]

As soon as our idiot government stops spending us back to the stone age the "American Dream" will again be reality. You also can't give people 99 weeks of unemployment benefits and expect them to maintain good work habits.

[LEtroll010101]

I FOUND THIS VIDEO DIFFICULT TO MASTURBATE TO

[R00R]

@LEtroll010101 try turning the volume up.

[sheleftmalfoy]

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. ie, The American economy is built on unsustainable ideas of consumerism and yet they like to criticize everyone who is different than them.

[R00R]

@sheleftmalfoy and you live where?

[daspoooop]

hahaha renting gets you nowhere. home ownership is about just that. owning a piece of land and a house for you generations and family to come. renting is dead money.

[Matchan91]

@libbyandtai So true, and why do people even care about another's religion it's one of the most important things to guide us as humans. It's almost like people are forgetting about morals. Why encourage fear, be the light you want to be for others.

[bakedinspiration]

if you live in a glass house dont watch this video.

[danielmooseyo]

Defuq is this son?

[TakeTheGreenPill]

[jmn120176]

Two democrats in congress, Chris Dodd (PA, ret) and Barney Frank (MA) spearheaded the "You deserve a house even if you can't afford it" act, AKA the Affordable Housing Act, passed in 2007. Banks were forced to give home loans to all despite despite their inability to repay them. Banks and the economy collapsed as a result. Under Obama, home ownership is no longer part of the American dream. Just ask the socialist himself. "Maybe you'd be better off renting." Hope and change, morons!

[shalcall]

@jmn120176 You're so misinformed I don't know where to start. Banks have never been forced to give home loans to people with the inability to pay. I challenge to find ANY bank in the U.S. that was FORCED to loan to people the bank thought wouldn't be able to pay back the loan.

[jmn120176]

@shalcall Maybe you should read the Affordable Housing Act before you critique my statements. Home loans given to ANYONE regardless of their qualifications is EXACTLY what led to the housing bust.

[shalcall]

@jmn120176 It was more than that. It doesn't matter if a bank loans money to a high risk recipient as long as every knows that it is a high risk recipient. When the bank takes that mortgage, sells it to wall street, wall street bundles it with other mortgages and the ratings agencies slap a AAA rating on it, THAT is a problem. And that's what helped cause the housing bust. No one would have bought those CDOs if they weren't rated AAA.

And again, no bank was forced to make loans. Not one.

[ABillionare]

America is falling, people these days in America are so stupid, Politicians are spending too much. We aren't strong enough to Police the world anymore. Empires fall, im sorry to see this one go.

Sincerely,

A new aged American

[rminb010204]

So instead of investing.... I should give my money away?

Brilliant.

[vekka220]

Don't buy a house if you can't afford it. Problem solved.

[R00R]

@vekka220 Certainly it can not be that simple vekka220, next you are going to suggest that each of us take personal responsibility, live within our means and read a book or two on how to manage our finances. You probably also believe that discipline and planning are more important than relying on luck. You must be some kind of hater with a deep rooted phobias against nonsense, how can you live with your self? Nonsense hater.

[IronMaiden666X1]

Can't we just "tear down this wall" instead?

Waaah wahhh. A generation of whiners and fools cries when the milk drips out of the defective cup THEY CHOSE then they blame the milk. "milk who needs milk. It drips out of a cup, we have been brain washed in to thinking we would benefit from it, but now we know better. Our generation must do with out it, milk is no longer good bahahahahh" Fools. Shelter is a basic necessity and it is better own it ASAP than to rent it at a higher and higher rate each year. Wise up MTV dumb-asses.

[SuperCommentwhore]

@R00R I dont think that rent gets higher. Though loans do. Atleast not in my country.

[1happiness]

............

[TheLockerzAddict]

can someone explain to me what i just watched plz

[CanadianGunslinger11]

pretty shotty construction

[killroy71]

Because who doesn't want to pay rent on a 30 year old POS apartment eh comrade? No the issue isn't houses, it's Federal manipulation of the economy, banks, and the desire to "create jobs," foster "economic and social justice." These are the roots of our problems, not houses.

[DHansen17]

why did the girl in the thumbnail remind me of a blond keira knightley?

[DaMirrorLink]

Because paying rent is so much fuckin better, right?

[dre38w]

The black manikin looked angry.

[jwp09]

honestly, the "american dream" has always been just that... a dream

[ikawpipa]

I try to live the American dream in Rwanda.

[R00R]

@ikawpipa Your comment is brilliant, I love it.

[MsShirleylin]

@ikawpipa trying belong to somewhere

[iLOLED8100]

i dont get it.....

[Ryogu]

A site called Rent.com doesn't want you to own a home? hmm....

[StrawbsShadow]

@Ryogu Yeah.. It wants you to rent. Simple enough

[InfomercialRemixer]

I was living the American Dream... then I woke up.

[texasfootballhall]

@InfomercialRemixer I was living the American Dream... then creditors woke up.

[R00R]

@InfomercialRemixer if that is the case, you were not living, you were sleeping. One does not wake up from living. Now that you are awake, learn from your mistakes and strive to create the life you want and learn to enjoy the journey even if you get dog shit on your shoes.

[nilz23]

Do you really want to spend the majority of your life in a building you don't "own"? Do you want to pay rent until you die? Have no house to live in rent free when you retire or leave to your children when you die or sell when you need money if we're lucky enough to still be around as a species? To borrow against in an emergency? If you don't go overboard and try to buy a McMansion buying a home doesn't cost any more than rent (and at today's values that's debatable).

[poopikins]

Que?

[thedancingoboe]

Uhhh... I must be really stupid because I didn't know that the "American Dream" was owning a house. I thought it was the idea that anyone can come to this country and succeed through hard work, no matter their age, sex, or race... Very strange. Maybe I just don't get it. No dream for me to take back. So sad. :(

[R00R]

@thedancingoboe I agree.

[threeaches]

Yeah you go america take back your dream. Take back all those cheeseburgers!

[jonnois]

capitalism is what is wrong with this planet

[R00R]

@jonnois you sound so enlightened, and what economic system would you suggest? Point to an economic system that has a better track record of elevating the living standards of the greatest number of people.

[jonnois]

@R00R If you that capitalism is the answer you’re the one that need enlightenment how about participatory economics or one of the many other alternatives.

[R00R]

@jonnois Please tell me, where is this system currently implemented successfully?

[jonnois]

@R00R just because a system is not implemented doesn't mean that it isn't better, if you want to be closed minded and live in the dark that's up to you

[R00R]

@jonnois If a system has not been tested,even on a small scale, how can anyone say it is better than that which has been proven to work best? You may hope other systems work better than capitalism, but until a system is proven in the real world you can only say you hope it works, you cant say you know. Capitalism uses is most suited to human nature. It forces us to figure out ways to benefit others so that we can benefit in return. It forces us to make things better, faster and cheaper.

[jonnois]

@R00R How can it be tested if no one is willing to test it taking you as the prime example, and further more capitalism has never, I repeat never be proven to benefit society as a whole, never. Why don't you do some research before coming back with another biased opinion make sure you read some journal articles that has been peer reviewed not just some random source.

[R00R]

@jonnois so my opinion is biased and your is not? How old are you twelve? You sure argue as if you were. Please sight the journal in which the soundness of participatory economics has been peer reviewed. Name the experiment in which even a small group of people took on such s system and made it work. As to your argument that capitalism has never proven to benefit society as a whole. Please tell me one that has? My contention is not that capitalism is perfect, but that it works best.

[jonnois]

@R00R In defense of participatory economics - M Albert, R Hahnel, DM Kotz- Science & Society, 2002, theres one article. The Rusinow Yugoslav Experiment, there one experiment, I'm 28 not 12, now stop trolling.

[R00R]

You have failed to point to a system that has a better track record than capitalism simply pointing to "other alternatives" is not proof.

[austinleet]

Did I just see a COD commercial?

[jeffh3962]

Well that looked real...

[DucksterRdr]

This reminds me of the "Half-Life 2 on OS X - Free Yourself" video.

[wednos]

lame

[noobhealz402]

Know why Mac will never be better than PC? Because you can NEVER upgrade a Mac... What you buy is what you get... technology will upgrade but you can't use those upgrades because your Mac is special and only the parts they put in will fit. For exmaple... lets say i want more ram, i can't open up a Mac and add/replace the ram. Lets say i want a new graphics card, i can't open the Mac up and put in a new graphics card. Fuck Macs... only tools who know nothing about technology buy them.

[CloudStrafeff7]

@noobhealz402 I'm all for using PC but I have to admit that a Mac can be just as useful in certain fields of work.

[noobhealz402]

@CloudStrafeff7 Well unless you're a video editor, there is no reason to ever buy a mac and even at that... if you know how to build PC's... the PC will be better. The only way i would recommend buying a Mac is if the person was majoring in movie editing. 

[CloudStrafeff7]

@noobhealz402 Yes, but what I said was that it is just as good in certain domains, such as video editing or graphic designing.

[libbyandtai]

This Video represents WHY I AM CHRISTIAN first Then American 2nd

oh HOW American PRIDES become our Anthem

not GOD BLESS THE USA

we are PROUD . NOT HUMBLE

ill say it Again

No offence to any who believe other things but i believe this

if i was the Last Christian on Earth would you Stone me for The American Dream?

[daspoooop]

@libbyandtai i would stone you when you innevitably did something stupid because you are obviously insane.

[mckemcke]

This is very good!

[williamolemiss10]

who else is confused?

[032125]

Home ownership is not and never was "The American Dream". That is the biggest steaming load of realtor propaganda I have ever heard. The American dream is a nation of individuals unfettered by masters, free to pursue their own ideas of happiness.

[Killuminatismd]

@032125 used to be the american dream*

todays american dream is perverted....its to become donald trump. Tell me if im wrong. Nobody gives a rats ass about freedom in america..thats why ur going and invading other countries and killing people. Fucking terrorists.

[al60ful]

 way to go. the boys upstairs hate stuff like this. glad not everyone is asleep.

[cannedkitty]

Not sure what is being targeted in this 'ad'. Consumerism? Capitalism? Sprawl? Land use? I mean I guess all those tie in together but what is this group suggesting we do?  These are difficult topics to address because of the power behind them and this video seems to go for symbolism over substance.

[cannedkitty]

@cannedkitty oh wait lol its by rent.com it has nothing to do with any of those things I listed. Just a different type of consumerism. Why is youtube advertising this garbage

[TheChillguy1992]

This commercial was paid for by the republican national commitee.

[libbyandtai]

@TheChillguy1992 OHHHHHHHH thats funny. and i am mostly Republican haha

[TheChillguy1992]

@libbyandtai haha thanks I appreciate the shout out.

[davidlyv]

letz qo a dream with in a dream nn plant the idea of never makiin dat dream... Muahaha! XD

[sheleftmalfoy]

amazing how many people are too dumb to understand this video. Its about rebelling against the government and corporate made idea of the "american dream" to instead think independently and follow your own dream. so down voting would mean you prefer to follow along as sheep to work yourself to death with the dream of acquiring more stuff.

[HunterOrrell]

this is death of a salesman in 1.5 minutes

[YafatFuqa]

@alexzivo Im sorry I thought you where someone who know from your first statement I really dont have a lot of time for teaching people and I cant give out links you are right about greedy real-estate people but it goes a lot further then that As far as the red necks go if you live in a state where you can shoot someone for being on your property I suggest you do it or at least at them If your afraid killing someone get bb or an airsoft gun the ones I have shot with my bb gun have not come back;)

[MattGre5]

I don't get this dream... Let's go deeper and see what happens.

this video had some good meaning behind it but it was poorly executed. the graphics could have been way better along with the overall artistic vibe.

You think you own a home, but when you sign that mortgage contract, your bank does. So stop living up your fake dreams, dreamers.

The problem with the "American Dream" is that you have to be asleep, to believe in it.



[Quantum205]

@snoid88 Yes!!! A George Carlin reference, well done.

[borisj87]

@snoid88 At least put that in quotes man.  And use proper grammar.

[jeffkrofd]

@snoid88 There still is the American dream for some people! People that work hard and stay optimistic! it's just whiny little bitch's like you that complain about everything that won't get the American dream. I think your the one that's asleep.......because you probably won't get a job and have nothing better to do!

i had a glass house once then that fuck decided to throw a brick at it

[blahblah21417]

I think the idea is to get people to go to the website.

[Awgez24]

Honestly I have no clue what that was supposed to mean.

They have to describe it in the description. What a bad commercial.

[thiennguyenX2]

@Awgez24 This commercial is actually pretty straight forward. Having to pay $400k on a 200k house on a 30 year-fixed is bad enough - with banks and wall street scamming your loans on the side and cheating you with the fine print, home ownership isn't the most secure investment it once was. You can rent and know who your money is going to - not that I agree.

The brick should have clued you into the Apple reference; it's the most famous commercial in the world - shown during the superbowl.

[MrZeroCide]

Lol mad*

@CFL0LSmilyFace Waaa, you made little boy? And why bother repeating yourself in the same comment. Good way to look like a complete tool.

[CFL0LSmilyFace]

@MrZeroCide I'm not mad, that's what you meant right?, just a little bit annoyed.

I didn't repeat myself either. I said America and Americans. So please, stfu. You're making Canada/Canadians look bad you retard.

@twirlingparasol See, you're a dumbass. Even the other dude who replied back to you knew that. Good job. Maybe if your crappy country had a better educational system you would have a higher IQ so that you could see the obvious.

[twirlingparasol]

@MrZeroCide lol troll. and a bad one at that. you keep writing "America sucks" so people will see it at the top. Which means you have no life. Also that's not how IQ works. But that was a nice try, eurofag.

[MrZeroCide]

@twirlingparasol Successful troll is successful. You're wasting time to reply to a troll comment.

Therefore you = idiot.

And by the way, do you even know what a eurofag is? I bet you don't, but i'm sure you'll probably google it after you read, dumb fuck.
