it int impossible to make money in "the system" Why should the "1%" pay for the rest of the fucking country. 99% my ass, i am not in the 1% i am poor as balls persay but I dont want to take everyone elses money, ill only be middle class, there wont be a chance at having more money then the people who dont work.
@MrJJsmithy It's nice that what you lack in smarts you make up for in slave mentality. You epitomize the masses the wealthy have always tried to create.
My professor in college did this example. We all took a quiz, i got a 93. pretty good, some of us said socialism worked so he did an experiment. My grade was marked down to 71 because some of us failed it so he took my points and gave them to some of the people who failed. Socialism doesnt work.
@MrJJsmithy A test is a closed system, true meritocracy. Too many variables in life for it to be any kind of a fair game. Imagine you inherited that 93 from your parents. Maybe we want to preserve that, but it's not MERIT.

Maybe if you guys took a closer look at how economics works you would spend less time with your head up your ass. If you were to tax down the "evil" businessmen that are running their company a few things would happen: A: They would have to start laying off people because they can`t pay to keep them. B: Those people then go into welfare which only takes more money from the business. C: They have to lay off more people. D: They may eventually die off. Socialism does not work.
@yourgay249 This is the worst joke of all time, workers are there essentially to MAKE the company money, people only get laid off when it is discovered that the company can make more in profit with less people to pay(efficiency). This is why if mergers = layoffs while people at the top get bonuses, this is also why bush era tax cuts did not work in any significant way to create more jobs
@BushidoBrownSama Yes I believe that people can be laid off for that as well, but it is not common. Tax is increased upon your amount of wealth, this is just another tactic of the left to destroy success, the only way to become rich on your own is to be motivated, I`m not very motivated to be rich when half my money is stolen, that is why we need a base tax of 10% FOR EVERYONE. The tax cuts were simply reversing damage.
@yourgay249 Meanwhile the businessmen just gotta have all those multimillion dollar bonuses they keep giving themselves right? I think you're the one who needs to pull your head out of your ass.
@calimar28 that is absolutely the most unamerican freaking thing i have ever heard. Where do you get off telling us that if you dont pay taxes you cant vote. Fuck you. NOWHERE in our Constitution does it even hint to that. You are completely fucking crazy or your a Republican either way you are ANTI-HUMAN. We will be ashamed for you. Please tell me where it says "you have to have some skin in the game". What country did you grow up ? you ANIT-HUMAN fuck.
@MCHESTER29 I'll tell you where I get off...YOU GOT NO SKIN IN THE GAME. You dont pay into the system, then damn it, you should have no say in the system.
You liberal retards think that 46 million on food stamps TAKING FROM THE SYSTEM, SHOULD VOTE? Figures.
@calimar28 Well WE the people of planet EARTH are very glad you are not in charge of anything.. So denying poor people their and OUR Constitutional rights because they are poor is FUn for you? Because you are a Sick , Sadistic, twisted , human hating FUCK. i know it is so weak minded to care for other people HOW HUMAN of ME. Since you cease to lack that Human virtue how can we take anything you say seriously? Since you HATE 46 million people you never met. You Fucking Robot.
@MCHESTER29 I dont hate them at all. I am saying that someone who has no stake in the game shouldnt be allowed to make decisions about the game! That is dangerous.
While I somewhat agree to the opposition's mentality of "give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day, but teaching a man to fish...." The problem is, their position of giving money to the people who "teach" in this case is just as blindly naive.
The last thing you do is give this kind of money to the already proven greedy with no strings attached. That's why government jobs and spending are the counter to this condition; there's no shareholders that need their cock sucked, and their employees sunk.
No governing official should be able to vote for or against a bill, he or she hasn't read nor understands.
I think all legislation should be feed into a super computer which could then generate a unique exam testing the politicians knowledge of the bill, and only those who score higher than 70% should be allowed to vote.
@callimar28 Thank you for bringing up class warfare. It amuses me that those who support the rich adopt this phrase as it is something that those in the lower classes need to be aware of. Spending cuts on social services, closing tax breaks that are used largely by the poor and middle class, and driving up the national debt so as to fund the war economy....this is class warfare.
@Rantlair It is immoral and illegal to have a tax bracket system. That said, I am all for everyone being taxed less, including the rich, who you hate so much.
@Rantlair I support the rich, and the middle, and everyone! The tax system is a scam and everyone pays too much. The poor pay zero...I'm fine with that, as long as they have no right to vote.
Look, Im a teapartier here on the young turks channel to talk some sense to you libs. Only a flat tax system makes legal sense. Hell, make it two tier if you must...10% for everyone under 300,000, and 20% for all over 300,000. No deductions no loopholes, everyone pays (churces too). Amend it too
America needs a trained team of snipers to start taking out ANY politician that makes decisions that only suport the rich and not the poor/middle class Who openly takes money from a company in the form of a contribution and then make a decision in office that benefits said company. These acts should be considered treason and dealt with accordingly. Id bet my life that the system would change in a matter of months.
@ChipArgyle The issue is that the rich can afford to pay a bit more tax without affecting their comforts. Also did you not watch the vid?? The governor is unhappy a mere USD 28.5 million dollars in tax breaks is going to the poor, but wants to give corporations USD200 MILLION in tax breaks! AND the governor was concerned the about the USD 28.5 million blowing a hole in the state budget. Can you not see the problem here?
You can spin it any way you like, but the bottom line is simple: Americas credit was downgraded for the first time in history, under Obama's watch. That is all voters will remember come election time.

America is in a death spiral. Things will only turn around when voters figure out that politicians, especially those elected by the baggers, are out to screw the voter
@LeftLaneClosedVideos Yeah sure. I guess all we need to do is borrow more money from China to advance the liberal philosophy of "spread the wealth"........that will get us out of the Great Obama Depression.
@mytube373 Cut the budget, reform the tax code with flat subsidies for energy and get rid of the tax cuts that should have expired, and reform entitlements, problem solved, except your grover fanboys cant raise taxes because he will primary them.
wait, wont it benefit the government to raise taxes on the rich, sorry im new with this american government. im from canada. can someone explain this to me.
@05candyman Yes, I will explain. The rich are already getting soaked by the greedy goverment to the tune of 36% of their income! But that isnt enough for the liberals, they want to see it hiked to 40%.
@izaccy Stop crying about "tax cuts for the rich" and "the millionaires and billionaires must pay theyre fair share" over and over again. You sound like jealous kids whining because Jimmys bike next door is shinier than yours. It's a class warfare tactic. Isnt it bad enough the goverment steals our money? Rich or poor? And now your happy if the govt steals even more of someone elses money?
Iowa has some of the poorest counties in the country. They still have homes without plumbing in some area's. Even in the 1980's the rural phone service was so bad that in my home we could only get what was called a "Party" telephone line from the phone company. That ment you had to share your phone line with other families in town. If someone was talking on the shared line you had to wait till they were done. And this was in a town of 7,000 people. But yeah the rich need more tax breaks
@calimar28 Yes poor people working like slave's to their corporate masters don't earn much that is why strong union's are needed again. It's not about Robin Hood it's about corporate enslavement of the masses.
Now, on taxes we need a flat tax...10% for all those under 300,000 and 20% for all those above 300,000. Let the law read that any increase of one bracket, will auto-increase the other bracket by the same percentile. After our debts are paid, then just 10% for everyone. No deductions of any kind, no loopholes. Everyone pays.
@calimar28 I noticed you have Nixon on your Icon. You do know that if Nixon was running for office today he would have his ass handed to him by the Tea Party because he was a liberal. Why is your idol a liberal when you claim to dislike liberal's? Nixon did more for the progressive cause than Obama.
@Stevie68000 Hey Stevie68000, go fuck yourself and your BS antisemetic childlike 'jew hatin' propaganda. You obviously are a stupid troll who has nothing to say. So say nothing. Shut the fuck up!
Dems & GOP are both wrong. Everyone should be taxed and some have skin in the game. The tax system should be required by statute that it may only be used to raise revenue for the operation government. It should be a jailable offense to use the tax code for de facto spending like earned income credits, mortgage deductions or corporate giveaways, etc.
Businesses should not be taxed, business owners & shareholders should be. Taxes on business is passed through to the consumer in the end anyway

There are gray areas in this, and the percentage of tax breaks can be determined based on job creation, but it is a system that has worked and should be implemented. Giant corporations will not doubt find a way around these laws, but at least it's a start.
If we are going to fix the problem, we need to increase taxes for all companies who outsource jobs overseas, and create a 0% tax break for all companies who commit to creating jobs in the United States. Solves unemployment, and can potentially reinvigorate the American economy. This isn't an new approach, and has worked in the past. Greed is our only pitfall.
If our system is going to withstand the test of time, and if our country is going to survive into the next century, a big test is if we are willing to fix our internal problems. Corporations create jobs, and that can not be argued. How to coax these companies into creating jobs in specific states has to stop. It creates loop holes and ways for, say, a chemical company to pump their waste into local ground water because the county and state deem their jobs more valuable than their residents....
@thecellarlife Last I remember, small biz creates more jobs than the corps. On top of that, the tax cuts for the rich are blank checks. they NEVER are direct, targeted, conditional incentives that force them to create jobs as the only way to get them... NEVER. No, the right wingers just back the dump truck to their swimming pools and raise the dumper while lying to the public about their confidence in it "trickling"... DOWN... DOWN here where we are.
The political system has destroyed most politicians. If a Republican endorses taxes towards the rich he/she is basically dropped. Funding from corporations and the rich stop - and they lose all allies. They way any politician gets elected is by having connections. Both Rep. and Dem. are guilty of this - there are certain topics that each side are 'off limits' to or they fear losing endorsements. It's worse for Republicans because they never go against corporations and the rich - disastrous.
It‘s interesting how liberals scream about how corporations spend so much money to get Republicans elected. Yet in the same breath, Dems praise labor unions as real people -- completely ignoring the “corporations” that employ them and the astronomical amounts corporate UNIONS spend to elect Democrats.
To all the GOP supporters (and I mean middle to poor class), this is what you guys voted for. If you still think they're doing the right thing, you deserve nothing and a huge slap in the fucking face.
Sorry, but "I told you so" never sinks in until the worse happens.
@MobRulesNow Because they vote in their own raises. Just like they cut insurance and health care, but make sure that the program they use keeps all its funding and has no decrease in benefits.
Are people who actually vote republican and aren't rich actually in favour of getting butt fucked by the government? They vote along ideological lines without considering the consequences.
@BloodStoney Well, Republicans are the closeted homosexuals who persecute homosexuals. So maybe getting butt fucked by the rich is their way of keeping it a secret.
GOP policy: The poor gives money to the rich so that they can be richer, "create" jobs that produce nothing because there is no demand because there are only poor people and they can't afford to buy.
This has been emboldened by that new republican talking point "The bottom 51% don't pay any tax"
Which is nonsense. It's based on the fact that the bottom 51% don't pay in directly more money that is spent on them... which is logical. You pay for fire service +$100 you use fire service -$100.
The conclusions they simplistically get from those calculations is absurd and there is not enough characters here for me to talk about the absurdness of their thought.
@CmdrTobs I laugh at bogus statistics like that, and "the top 2% pay 40% of taxes!" If they pay more than their share, it's because they have more than their share of the wealth in this country.
@trmblingblustar Really? The rich have more than their share of wealth? Who are you to decide how much wealth someone should have? You mean they dont deserve theri wealth? Will you take it away from them like a king or a dictator would? Dont you just hate that constitution?
Forget the presidency. IMO, no one is going to primary Obama (unless future events dictate otherwise). The real battle is in replacing all the shit representatives and senators in Congress with progressives. I can't tell you the level of buyer's remorse i've encountered and/or read about since the 2010 election. I'm convinced that we will see more change you can believe in with Obama when he has an army or angry progressives in Congress badgering him.
@Antichrys LOL Obama ALREADY HAD PROGRESSIVES running congress, for 2 years! They raised the debt by around 4 trillion, they shoved an unpopular healthcare bill down our throats that will put us more in debt, and they trippled the troops in Afghanastan. America said "no more"...so your chances are slim that the liberals will get back congress. And you had Reid and Pelosi, real liberals running it, with liberals like Lieberman running committees. You STILL dropped the ball!
@calimar28 for you to even say that Lieberman was a progressive ALREADY discredits you. Go back and re-educate yourself (shakes head in disappointment)
Bahahah, S&P just downgraded Americas credit from AAA, to AA! Hee hee, this is what we get for such terrible debt that the liberals refused to face. In S&P's report they: "are concered with 15 trillion of debt, with only MINOR long term cuts in spending, and no real cuts in medicare". The report goes on: "If America does not cut medicare and seriously tackle entitlements, then they will never get their debt under control".
You people in america sit there in your chairs, and let this shit happen to your country, even now youre tuttering away, but you wont leave your goddamn chairs, all you do is watch the news, tutter, than go back to your games and your fast food.
obama knows the liberals wont abandon him no matter how bad he treats us, thats why he doesnt care about what we have to say. if we keep him in offce in 2012 we are screwed, if we vote in a republican we are screwed, either way is a lose-lose situation. but it hurts more when getting screwed by someone you thought was on your side. LET'S STAY HOME IN 2012 to lessen the pain.
@azkamara2000 That...is the absolute worst advice and plan of action I have heard. That is why we are in the mess we are. That is, we the voters are the ones to blame for not using or first amendment rights to keep them honest. Instead we are more interested in name-callin', mud-slingin', and dummy news to not do research. Sitting at home is the WORST thing you can do. Get up and get involved however you can!
hahaha then why don't you pussies run as the "tea party" instead of republicans?! you guys are a joke,no one takes you seriously. Obama is going to win and we will spend four more years advancing towards socialism you rednecks can keep alabama, obesity, meth, and sucking the rich mans dick.
@JEFF9K pushed too far? Well, I will be right here, so when this big thing happens, be sure to let me know about it because I wouldn't want to miss anything.
@JEFF9K The French Revolution took place in another country, in another century, under difficult cultural and societal conditions, with completely different style of public discourse. Folks try to pawn themselves off as being smart, bantering around words like "logic" and "knowledge." But when you try to express an idea, you sound lost. Look up Toulmin's Argument Model. He was considered the anti logic guy of his day.
@cpufightclub What the eff are you talking about? People are people no matter what century or country or conditions. Who is trying to pawn himself off as being smart? I didn't use the words "logic" and "knowledge." Sounds like you have been in the fight club too long!
Appears u missed the point of my comment. The Republicans currently have been the ones pushing the tax cuts (it was also a Republican President who created the tax cut problem to begin with). It is possible to vote our way out of this mess. If enough people vote against the tax cut douchebags (regardless of what party they belong to) it will have an effect. The Tea party has shown it's true colors on this issue & deserve to be kicked out of office asap.
@MrMarkless If and when the Republican voters wake up, it won't matter anymore. The Democrats are paid off by the same corporations. All American voters now have a choice of voting for the crooked guy or the corrupt guy.
Constitutional amendment overturning the citizens united ruling might take us back to the correct path.
Guy from Iowa here. Iowa is much like the country at large. We had a previous governor who balanced the budget and left with a surplus. We voted him out and put in this guy who criticizes measures he put in place then cuts things we can already afford in order to give tax cuts to the rich. This huge lurch to the right was caused by gay marriage. Made all the old people scared and vote republican.
@drakflyga federal tax rate for someone earning $50000 is 25% but state tax+social security etc.. push this to closer to 40%. The federal tax rates go up to 35% for high earners - but the extra taxes tend to be capped so they end up paying the same - or less after some very easy &legal tax evasion.
Corporate taxes are officially 35%... in reality none pay that - a more realistic number after reimbursements and subsidies is 10-15%. small businesses pay more, big businesses pay less.
Under TB's leadership in Iowa, we have lost countless jobs, corporations such as John Deere have moved most of their manufacturing to Mexico, and our infrastructure is in ruins. Yet, the guy keeps getting reelected. Seriously. I'm 35, and he has been our governor for as long as I can remember. But since this is the Bible Belt, the state is full of nice, loyal, unquestioning Republicans.
@MrHav1k Canada and the United States are each other's largest trading partners. As a result, your country's fiscal meltdown a couple of years ago pulled my country into a recession in which we lost a record number of jobs. Therefore, the irresponsible behaviour and corruption in your government is of direct interest to me and other Canadians.
@MrHav1k While the latter sentence is untrue, your first statement should illuminate why non-Americans take such interest in the affairs of your country. You can't strive to be a world power and exert influence on every other nation, and then with the same breath tell the rest of the world to leave you alone.
@MrHav1k Its actually kinda ironic, and funny that the same centrism that you have shown here is the same shit that is destroying your country and bringing down the world economy... Again..
@laurenmcintyre Yep, he gets 2 paychecks.. How do you like that crap. I think, He should take a pay cut, not us. Grass-ass too, for that matter. I miss Chet Culver so bad.. Please come back Chet. Yes! Its time for a 100% Revolution. right here in Iowa.
The people who voted this guy in, with the fascist in Wisconsin and the trigger-happy south state Bible-fanatic in Texas really must be brainfucked.
.
When the U.S is a third world dictatorship, you know who to thank. The Republicans have been struggling to keep down standards of living for the majority of the people since time immemorial with the Democrats doing what?
As long as one guy gets his yacht and private jet cheaps, it's all rainbows and green meadows.
Wow - how obvious do they have to be? That is sooo laughable. If the working & middle class woke up, they could change everything. If you don't, your children will be literally wage slaves & this time it won't get abolished. The feral elites are eating you alive.
The GOP is only in favor of tax cuts for the rich, the poor cannot do anything for the GOP, they cannot return the favor basically, this is the way most conservatives think.
Terry Brandstad is TRULY Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a VASTLY SUPERIOR politician, governor and statesman than this ass-clown in every single way. She will EXPOSE his PUSSY and be a true champion of ALL people rich, middle and poor. She will cut taxes across the entire board and make our tax system at all levels completely fair and simple!
@ecwaufisxtreme. Tell me the name of the mental hospital you live at because it sounds great. I've never heard of a mental hosptal that lets you snort as much coke and drink as much alcohol as you want..
GOP agenda: tax cuts, spending increases on public programs all for the rich. Socialize the loss, and privatize the gain. Then raise taxes and cut spending for the poor and middle class. Their mission is to destroy the budget and then they can say we can't afford it. Then they will privatize everything.
@jimisback That is inaccurate. Based only on sales taxes paid on an income of $15,000 they pay a higher taxes % wise than most corporations after loop holes. The entire world works on a fair and balanced tax system EXCEPT America, mostly because of ignorant Fox News followers like you that believe the lies and likely never took or passed their American history or political science classes. Just plain ingnorance spewing from a hateful person having a horrible life blaming others for it.
@jimisback Are you retarded? Of course the poor pay taxes you nitwit. Unless you're making less than like 12k/year you are paying taxes. Plus, EVERYONE pays taxes because EVERYONE purchases stuff. You can't have a brain in your head.
He dislikes the 85th percentile. Terry. I live in SD, and will NOT use hwy 9 because you dislike 60 mph. One more point. I stop at the same gas station in MN. No wonder you keep the speed below the 85th percentile. Maybe you can use the ticket money to help with the budget.

@Rantlair I support the rich, and the middle, and everyone! The tax system is a scam and everyone pays too much. The poor pay zero...I'm fine with that, as long as they have no right to vote.
Look, Im a teapartier here on the young turks channel to talk some sense to you libs. Only a flat tax system makes legal sense. Hell, make it two tier if you must...10% for everyone under 300,000, and 20% for all over 300,000. No deductions no loopholes, everyone pays (churces too). Amend it too

There are gray areas in this, and the percentage of tax breaks can be determined based on job creation, but it is a system that has worked and should be implemented. Giant corporations will not doubt find a way around these laws, but at least it's a start.
thecellarlife 6 months ago
If we are going to fix the problem, we need to increase taxes for all companies who outsource jobs overseas, and create a 0% tax break for all companies who commit to creating jobs in the United States. Solves unemployment, and can potentially reinvigorate the American economy. This isn't an new approach, and has worked in the past. Greed is our only pitfall.
thecellarlife 6 months ago
If our system is going to withstand the test of time, and if our country is going to survive into the next century, a big test is if we are willing to fix our internal problems. Corporations create jobs, and that can not be argued. How to coax these companies into creating jobs in specific states has to stop. It creates loop holes and ways for, say, a chemical company to pump their waste into local ground water because the county and state deem their jobs more valuable than their residents....

@thecellarlife Last I remember, small biz creates more jobs than the corps.

The political system has destroyed most politicians. If a Republican endorses taxes towards the rich he/she is basically dropped. Funding from corporations and the rich stop - and they lose all allies. They way any politician gets elected is by having connections. Both Rep. and Dem. are guilty of this - there are certain topics that each side are 'off limits' to or they fear losing endorsements. It's worse for Republicans because they never go against corporations and the rich - disastrous.

Corporate taxes are officially 35%... in reality none pay that - a more realistic number after reimbursements and subsidies is 10-15%. small businesses pay more, big businesses pay less.

@jimisback That is inaccurate. Based only on sales taxes paid on an income of $15,000 they pay a higher taxes % wise than most corporations after loop holes. The entire world works on a fair and balanced tax system EXCEPT America, mostly because of ignorant Fox News followers like you that believe the lies and likely never took or passed their American history or political science classes. Just plain ingnorance spewing from a hateful person having a horrible life blaming others for it.

@jimisback Are you retarded? Of course the poor pay taxes you nitwit. Unless you're making less than like 12k/year you are paying taxes. Plus, EVERYONE pays taxes because EVERYONE purchases stuff. You can't have a brain in your head.
