Rock is an idiot. The problem is spending, not taxes. Turn us into a nation of slaves that pay 100% taxes and this government will still spend more than they are taking.
The taxation issue began with privatisation and deregulation. We had infrastructure and services that collected money which fed Government the money to fund its programs. Now that they've been put in the hands of big business who tax minimise, the Government keeps coming after the people who can least afford high taxation; the poor.
@Jrocka7x How did you get that impression or are you a race obsessed moron who is probably subscribed to a disturbing porn website. fucking idiot! move on you insecure little loser.
I'll pay higher taxes so corporations can continue to be subsidized, so countries like Israel can continue to receive my money and so the wars can be funded :)
There's a debate going on in the UK right now about whether the 50% top rate of tax on income over £150,000 ($240,000) is actually costing the country money. As in, if they lower the tax rate could they actually increase their tax revenues? I'm not convinced by their argument. It essentially relies on the rich being imbeciles who can be lured back to paying tax in the UK by lower tax rates despite the fact it will actually cost them more (or so the government claims). It's bollocks, basically.
@weejockpoopongmcplop actually, our tax brackets are much lower. When people pay the highest tax 35%, they are earning over $500k!!! Also, I don't agree with that statement either!!!! Wealthy people won't leave when they are forced to pay another couple % tax!!! does 50% include basic pension in the UK????
@MrBobbi1980 Income tax doesn't include national insurance, which pays for the national health service and state pensions. The two combined exceed 50% of your income once your income gets above £930,950 ($1,488,800) a year. There are also local taxes and sales taxes but my model doesn't include them.
@TheComputerNazi None of them are facts. For the most part they are obviously silly over-exaggerations of the points you are trying to make. Will all of Mr. Rock's money be worth only rocks in the next 12 months or sooner?
@anissueofursincerity thats not the point no one is going to give extra money to the government they have to make them pay it by raising the taxes for people on that level of income, if its optional like now only a few will do it but the point is that they should all do it since the country is in need of it and the way to make them all pay it is by raising the taxes for them.
@anissueofursincerity buts thats what they mean there calling for taxes to be raised for those who earn the amount they do, like i said its no good them paying voluntarily cause then only a few will pay more and will hardly change anything the tax rate needs to be raised for them. In britian since 2009 anyone who earns over 150k is taxed at 50%, though i doubt the american government would ever raise tac rates on the top earners to 50%.
@anissueofursincerity Thats a stupid comment. No one wants to pay taxes, but people like Chris Rock and Warren Buffet realize that a nation were the average American is doing better means the people at the top will do better in kind. Thats why they say that they are willing to pay a higher rate.
Ya, but when you give give to the poor then you're encouraging laziness. That's the right-wing way of looking at it. It only makes sense in a fantasy-world between the ears; although, we should still consider where they're coming from: it's not about the money; it's about their version of morality, the version that's based on punishment.
How about we use all that money spent on endless wars and fix the infrastructure and roads. Paying more taxes won't do anything until you change the way the money is spent. They will just take those taxes and spend it on wars and their own pet projects. Imagine if we spent the bank bailout money on infrastructure and roads. Probably would have high speed rail by now.
yeah look at all those filthy greedy 1%'rs like the founders of google, microsoft, facebook, amazon, youtube, intel, apple, twitter.. list goes on and on

i was watching the governor of new jersey on tv the other day, he was saying "no, rich people shouldn't pay higher taxes, however, just write a check to the government"
America used to protect it's people with regulations and tariffs and a socially responsible tax system. Now politicians have blown most of that up . Big business turned into trans national corporations paid, money to change the rules so they can take advantage of cheap products and labor overseas and not pay tariffs, taxes or fees. The politicians took pay offs witch made the Richest 1% richer at the expense of the rest of their country men, just threw the middle class under the bus.
@Hirfel you do know that Wikipedia is not 100% accurate right? its been proven that any guy who think he is god can make a post on there even me. One can make a religion that makes NO SENSE what so ever and paste it on there. I do commend you for providing facts though. You do have some clue what is going on but you do know our government is full of lier's right? if the coke brothers can lie about there the chemicals they put out into the atmosphere then the government can.
This is one of the fundamental flaws in the "Locust Swarm" style of Corporate culture. They get extremely high short term gains, but lose all the wealth and stability they could've made long term on a healthy economy. And really, where can the super rich go after everything goes to hell, outer space?
Same with their totalitarian and fascist laws they implement out of fear of the population. What good is controlling a country if you can't even set foot on 99% of it and have to live in isolation?
Your assuming that conquest is their only goal. I wonder if you have ever considered the possibility that what they really want is to destroy the planet and the human race and that money and power really dont factor into their desires at all. Every sociopath wants to turn the world into their own self-image. The word uni-form means one form. Power is merely a means to an end. The real goal is to make the world as wicked and black as they are inside.
@Raydeus Agreed! I was watching a special on Germany and why there industry is so successful. Pretty much because they value there workers and do not view them as something disposable.
@vatokiss Whats funny is you just have no brain at all YOU SEE ALL THE FACTS RIGHT THERE PROVE YOUR FACTS your just to much of a nigger to realize i am right and your wrong. you have no idea what you are eating and drinking. they could be pissing in your food for all you know..... IF PEOPLE CAN SPIT IN YOUR FOOD AT MCDONALD WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT CAN'T POISON YOU... your soo MORONIC I LAUGH AT YOU! there are thousands to back up my evidence that FLUORIDE FUCKS YOU OVER.
@chamblizi Fluoride actually occurs naturally in water. What the government does is it "controls" the levels of fluoride in our water. In many places (such as where I live, Ontario) the natural fluoride levels can be dangerously high. So thanks to the government my levels are kept in check. Source: wiki-fucking-pedia.
This is bullshit. Raising taxes on the rich isn't going to solve a damn thing. The government is too big, they need to cut spending, they need to stop wasting money on senseless overseas wars, and the bloated military budget. This enhances national defense, because all the troops will be on American soil with more American bases, instead of agitating people overseas with foreign bases and creating more and more enemies. Ron Paul makes a lot of sense. Abolish the IRS and cut government spending.
lets decrease the number of characters to 200 so no one can make an intelligent comment. That way Communist twats like Cenk don't ever have to deal with reality.
@sanitydotorg Are u saying google is a communistic enterprise? Youtube is not intended for essays being thrown back and forth. Somalia -> taxes -> funneled to militarization and the rich. A bunch of factors determine the state of a country. Not just one. Try comparing Switzerland and Somalia. Google whre the money actually goes. I gotta go watch tv now. Peace.
What I am saying is that it does not create wealth to take money from the people who produced it and give it to those who did not produce it. Taxes destroy prosperity. Economics is not complicated. Anyone who has actually thought about it for more than five minutes realizes that nothing good comes from government. The problem is people have lost all ability to think logically and they are mentally ill. This is the intent of the state and the public education system.
@sanitydotorg Off the top of my head good things that come from the government, roads, clean water, electricity, basic education, most phone and internet infrastructure. I could go on.
And how are monopolized roads at 10000x the price they would have cost from a private company a good thing? Ever heard of opportunity cost? You see the things the government built with the stolen money, what you are not seeing is what did not get built because the government stole the money. A market always maximizes resources. Here's another concept for you to look up: Marginal Utility. If youre going to open your mouth you should learn something about economics first.
@sanitydotorg Oh I'm sorry I thought I was talking to someone somewhat reasonable, I won't make the mistake of talking to you or listening to you're bullshit again.
Sorry. Yes. My mistake. Taxes are a good thing. Clearly stealing money from productive people and squandering it on asinine projects that no one is willing to pay for voluntarily is the path to prosperity. That's why the Soviet Union was so successful and Zimbabwe, Somalia and Cambodia are the happiest, wealthiest places on earth. Yes. Communism is the answer and freedom always fails. Lets have more bridges to nowhere, housing bubbles and fake ass missions to the moon.
Ahhh...Now theres the logic of the semen swilling, sausage smoking Stalinistic sociopath that I knew you were. Dont want to be a slave? Run. Dont want shot? Better dodge bullets.
We were discussing the asinine and backward logic that you use to justify your anti-social personality disorder, latent homosexual daddy lust and fascist patterns of behavior. You said anyone who doesnt want to be a slave should run. By the same logic anyone who does not want to be shot should just learn to dodge bullets. Its called a reductio ad absurdum: demonstrating the INSANITY of someones statements by taking them to their logical conclusion. It's called logic Adolf
uh, no. We were discussing raising taxes on the richest Americans.
So, 1st I'm a socialist, then anti-social, and a fascist homosexual?
How exactly is this advancing your argument? No, wait. What the hell IS your argument? At this point you're just flinging insults like an idiot without any kind of mention of taxes, except to say, taxpayers are actually slaves. Talk about insanity. How about you explain YOUR logic on that?
SLAVERY: a relationship whereby one person has absolute power over another and controls his life, liberty, and fortune
TAXES: a relationship whereby the government has absolute power over another and controls his life, liberty, and fortune
I realize that you have no concept of economics, morality, logic, or empathy since you "served" in the military and attended government schools, but I dont know how it can be made any simpler than that.
Yes. Government is an anti-social personality disorder. "Society" is voluntary association. Government is involuntary association. Government is the opposite of society.
"fascist homosexual"
No I said a LATENT homosexual. Big Daddy government is the enraged psychotic projection of your latent desire to suck your father's penis. Since they cant express their sexual desires, statists manifest an oppressive, sadistic hate machine instead.
@sanitydotorg sanitydotorg wins hands down. You're analysis is above the heads of bumpersticker populists. It's their lack of coherent vision and class covetousness that's landed us in this mess. Good points and well said.
@TrueMetis yeah but they don't teach you how to make a business anymore very few schools still do that i don't want the government having any power or say on my structure. That is my responsibility as a American so if i lose its my fault if they lose my money. I GOT A PROBLEM roads is something i would ask for them to provide of course we where using dirt roads before this. as for water ITS NOT CLEAN it has Floride and Powered Chlorine mixture in it. tap water is putrid.
@TrueMetis do you know what that does to your INTERNAL SYSTEM! it damages it put it this way you run some tap water on some raw meat see what it does after 5 minutes then poor pure well water on meat for 5 minutes guarantee you see the meat foam up from the one with the chlorine in it it eats the inside raw and dries you out. that's why when you drink tap water your always thirsty and mouth is dry.
@vatokiss he isnt crazy its an act he does speak a lot of truth which he mixes in with utter drivel like David Icke, they do this for good reason when you bring up things like global warming being a hoax and debunked idiots who have not looked into it will say your one of those people who think lizards run the world - its called controlled oposition and Alex makes a lot of cash steering people on a wild goose chase
Have you ever considered the possibility that the reason the people who are arguing with you here are so mentally, emotionally and spiritually stunted is because they have been drinking tap water?
@chamblizi In doses much higher than what you will find in tap water yes. Or have you never swam in a pool where concentrations of chlorine would be much higher.
paying higher taxes doesn't solve the economic crisis that we are in... Get rid of the FDA and make government smaller or all these programs we want will become self induced inflation.
If you're rich and you wanna pay more taxes... THEN PAY MORE TAXES. Are rich people so incompetent to do something on their own, that they need the government to tell them to pay more taxes? If you want to give away your money then just do it. But don't coerce people who don't want to pay it, to pay it. "The power to tax is the power to destroy".
@SilenThps Putting something in quotation marks doesn't make it true. Paying tax isn't giving money away. Paying taxes is contributing to the the continuing wellbeing of the society you are part of.
@SilenThps They're saying it about all the richer people in society, Chris probably does put more back into society than most, I dont know. What he's commenting on is the fact that most of the rich don't want to be taxed more even though it would barely effect them at all.
who gives the government the right to take from me and give to someone who didn't earn my money? What if i want to give to a charity more than what the government takes but i cant because they took the money i was going to use? is that right?
People like Chris Rock know what its like to have nothing, CEOs dont. CEOs have everything handed to them from day 1 and 99% have lied, cheated, and stolen there way to fame and fortune. Have because God is real boys!!
@rohannesburg No no, engineers SHOULD be paid the most (along with teachers, scientists and doctors). It's just that they already are is what I'm saying. So are a lot of doctors.
@4pointsWest If you have a great idea and you make a great living off of it then good for you. My problem is the sneaky ones that make millions outside of the U.S but are never taxed on it. I will get tax on everything I make but a rich person can slip through some holes and only get taxed on what's made here. I know every rich person isn't that sleazy and some make all of their millions here and pay their fair share in taxes. What I'm annoyed with are the ones that don't want to pay their share
Rock can afford to have his taxes raised. Why don't these rich libs start a charity and have their donations targeted. As far as Chris' benevolence, a small price to pay for social engineering.
@chickenwretch It's all about redistribution anyway why not give me and you all Chris Rocks' tax contributions because we know what's best for that kind of largesse . adios friend . Let's keep mashin' on the bastards :)
@fabianstraregy Parable of the talents should be taught. Jesus said the guy given the most money made a greater PROFIT, and the one given less buried it and had zilch to show for it. Then He said to take what little that WICKED servant (the one that didn't invest for a PROFIT) had and give it to the one that created a PROFIT. So much for Obamas twisted Gospel of redistribution, right Mr. Law? take care man.
People like Chris Rock should pay higher taxes, because otherwise when Chris Rock was growing up, he wouldn't have had anything, & his body & brain, not to mention comedy, wouldn't have been as good as it is today.
@4pointsWest Yes because in the end the rich would still come out on top. Let's say taxes are at 50% and you make 20K a year and a rich person makes 1mil a yea. Now after taxes all you would have left to live on is 10K while a rich person has 500K still let. Look at all of the things you can do with 10K to 500K. I can buy a house and many other things with 500K but what are you going to do with 10K unless it's a necessity.
@jakeirako but then the rich person would have paid 500k, 490k more. it's still fair to me
if i come up with a great idea and everybody likes it and buys it, it just wouldn't be fair that i have to pay more taxes just for making more money. it would be socialist to tax me for getting ahead in life and wealth. so of course the rich will come out on top.
there are many rich people who are in debt too, and some have lost it all. if a rich man has no risk THEN he may be a dirty businessman
@4pointsWest No it isn't socialist, it is common sense. Obviously you aren't going to tax a struggling family who is relying on government assisstance anyways to pay the same rate as a man making 1 million a year! It would make no sense. Besides, they aren't paying more taxes on all of their money. It is a progressive system you just pay the higher rate on money earned above the previous bracket
@durhamdf there are many factors to consider, but in general, i want lower taxes for everybody. maybe if taxes weren't so high, family's wouldn't have to struggle so much, that go's for businesses too (especially small ones). we also need to pull down many regulations, because if you lower taxes and regulations, it will be cheaper for businesses to come back to the US, which means there will be more jobs, money, then we ultimately advance as a society.
hey if rich Liberal douchebags like Chris Rock and Michael Moore want to pay more - THEN GO AHEAD!!! nothing is stopping them from just writing a check for whatever amount they want and send it to the government. so Russell Simmons - just get your checkbook out and send your money in. and I ask one question to everyone in here and everywhere else - answer this - can u name ONE time in your life where u received a job from a poor person?
@flintybraz What does a CEO's personal income tax have to do with wages? Company funds are not transferred out of the CEO's wallet every time the company has to spend money.
Chris Rock? Another jackassed mental case with no facts, no knowledge of economics, no sense of ethics and a fucking opinion on everything. The only surprise here is that there is apparently someone on this planet that is more full of shit than Cenk. I guess I learned something.
Brilliant. So basically, the answer is to rob the productive class in order to give it to people who don't produce? News flash captain cock smoke: The government is the source of the problem, not the answer. You would know that if you had ever done a productive day's work in your life, had ever read a book, knew anything about economics, or ever had the slightest inkling of morality or a coherent thought.
@sanitydotorg Higher taxes for the rich doesn't necessarily translate to welfare. The money needs to come from somewhere. The ones who are hit the hardest are not those who are rich (investment capital, stocks, bonds) or poor (no taxes due to low income/welfare) but the middle class (the workforce). Further, it is worth noting tht world's highest quality of life belongs to countries tht hve high taxes and better social services (taxes dont funnel to the military I mean).
Nonsense. The highest quality of life is where there are the least taxes. The only scientific measure of of standard of living is Private Product Remaining.
Prosperity is the result of freedom. Poverty is the result of government. You deny economic reality if you want, but the only thing you succeed in proving is that you are psychotic.
@sanitydotorg Ok. I m psychotic. I just did a quick google search on "highest quality of life vs tax rate". It did confirm wht i said. I m middle-class and Canadian. Opinions can vary.
Opinion? It has nothing to do with my opinion vs your opinion and everything to do with economic facts vs the absurd delusion that stealing (aka taxes) creates wealth.
If government could create prosperity Cambodia and Somalia would be the wealthiest nations on earth. But they aren't. You know what is (per capita)? The Cayman Islands.
Looks and sounds like chris has stepped back into his "New Jack City" era, look at that fro! Tax money doesnt supply jobs, it supplies welfare, and guess what! Those rich men get a large portion of that too. Republicans and Democrats want to tax productive people to shovel it out to their voting base so they can gain more power and indirectly making their constituents their slaves. Democrats have found another way to make blacks their slaves, and the large corps run the republicans. Sad
People like Chris Rock know what its like to have nothing, CEOs dont. CEOs have everything handed to them from day 1 and 99% have lied, cheated, and stolen there way to fame and fortune. Have fun if God is real boys!!
oh geez. everything u said is pathetic. CEO's dont know what its like to have nothing? show your work. 99% have lied, cheated and stolen their way? prove it. where did u get that figure? take the number of people that Chris Rock employs and put it up against how many people a CEO employs. and that Warren Buffet's secretary paying more taxes than him is SUCH a load of crap. its not true but people keep repeating it cuz Obama said and the media twisted it. IT ISNT TRUE.
@flintybraz your right, but just put the disclaimer that not all c.e.o's are innocent some im sure are far from it. if you believe they are your in concervanaivetown. just like kdubsugga is in libernaive falls. my made up towns have terrible names but they are pretty accurate.
The difference between Chris Rock and CEO's is he didn't make his money based off exploitation, or tax payer hand outs. Fuck the CEO's, but I'm not entitled to Chris Rock's money.. If he wants to give it away, that's his prerogative, but locking him up for not doing so makes you a steaming pile of thieving shit.
@almetcalf Exactly like the tax breaks for the rich and the bail outs to the banks - socialism
Ever used a public road.....fkn socialist, public library? fkn communist
America is a social democracy jst like england, australia, new zealand, japan, the netherlands, spain, france, canada, the list goes on
medicare, pensions, frank d essienhower built highways between the states, the price of oil is subsidised by the government, the list goes on and on, america = socialist democracy
@chamblizi It takes all kinds you racist bastard . I hate being on the same team you're on but Ron Paul is BY FAR the best canditate this republic has had in decades . Now you inbred fcuk don't forget to vote for Ron Paul 1st Tuesday of NOVEMBER. Then you can go back to whatever it is retarded fcuks like you do and PISS OFF anyway :)

America used to protect it's people with regulations and tariffs and a socially responsible tax system. Now politicians have blown most of that up . Big business turned into trans national corporations paid, money to change the rules so they can take advantage of cheap products and labor overseas and not pay tariffs, taxes or fees. The politicians took pay offs witch made the Richest 1% richer at the expense of the rest of their country men, just threw the middle class under the bus.

This is one of the fundamental flaws in the "Locust Swarm" style of Corporate culture. They get extremely high short term gains, but lose all the wealth and stability they could've made long term on a healthy economy. And really, where can the super rich go after everything goes to hell, outer space?
Same with their totalitarian and fascist laws they implement out of fear of the population. What good is controlling a country if you can't even set foot on 99% of it and have to live in isolation?

This is bullshit. Raising taxes on the rich isn't going to solve a damn thing. The government is too big, they need to cut spending, they need to stop wasting money on senseless overseas wars, and the bloated military budget. This enhances national defense, because all the troops will be on American soil with more American bases, instead of agitating people overseas with foreign bases and creating more and more enemies. Ron Paul makes a lot of sense. Abolish the IRS and cut government spending.

@sanitydotorg Higher taxes for the rich doesn't necessarily translate to welfare. The money needs to come from somewhere.
