You don't have the right to consume the things you consume? (Huh?!?) You think you should be taxed more, but instead of overpaying your taxes (which you're allowed to do) you gave to charity. Then, as commendable as that action was, your next remark bashes charity as a way to help the poor, as though the govt is so much better at it than you.
@help4343 Unfortunately it is. I'm still learning about Gary and so as of now I wouldn't vote for him, but I'd be okay with him in office. Sadly I know it won't happen. I still don't plan on voting this year. I refuse to cast my ballot in this fucked up system.

I suggest talking to Objectivists at the Ayn Rand Institute to find better friends. Perhaps they could even convince you that the way to eliminate the terrorist threat is to eliminate one of the foremost state sponsors of terrorism, who is already at war with the West by terrorist proxy: Iran.
Ok, I gotta talk straight with you guys. I absolutely love Ron Paul. Such an incorruptible man. But let's be honest, he's getting up in years. It's not until recently that his message has begun to be seriously heard. If he isn't elected this time around, and he is gone before the following election, we need to put Mr. Johnson up where Dr. Paul left off. Either way, we need to put one of either of them in the White House!!!

He's a straight shooter who didn't belong in the GOP. Much better to see him as a Libertarian or Independent. Don't agree with him on everything, but I hope he can get his voice heard.
The lady he described his progressive tax idea from 1:17-3:15 just didn't make any sense. She inherited money from Bush's estate tax cut then gave 80% of it away. She says she has money but still calls herself poor? It's one thing to help your fellow man, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't stay on their feet as well. Civil librarians believe in personal responsibility, which this lady doesn't get. Props to Gary for being diplomatic and respectful though.

@REDRAPIST Dude, I understand what your saying, but it makes no sense to forecast as far into the future as you have done. By this time next year, the united states financial system will be 10 times worse (japan and china will stop buying the U.S debt, our taxes will shoot up, and the government will have to liquidate half the countys gold reserves just to prevent immediate insolvency).
Some people are even saying a global currency will be established, though I can't see what good that'll do.
That's it; I'm voting for Gary Johnson. I hope he runs with the Libertarian Party. That woman can say "tax me more" and "kindess of strangers doesn't work", but she seemed pretty good donating her money away on her own. If she chooses to give her money away, then let others choose. Bitch, mind yo' self.
I like Gary Johnson. But you should definitely think about voting for Ron Paul and vote for Gary Johnson when he runs in 2016 or 2020. Ron Paul has a far better chance of winning and is already at the top in Iowa.
I hate all these upper middle age bitches I see getting interviewed that say they want higher taxes, cause every fucking one of them inherited their money, they don't have any idea of the difficulty in running a successful business.
@VisualK3i94 Worse, she wants the government to use force to take people's money. She says she should be taxed more. I say no one is stopping her from making a voluntary donation to the Treasury, the Pentagon, whatever she loves about authoritarian government.
@sskinner99 I couldn't have said it better myself! I hope Gary Johnson gets all the Ron Paul supporters after President Paul wins his re-election in 2020. That way, we can just stay on a liberty streak and have President Johnson in office in 2021.
"I voluntarily gave a ton of money to charity, but that's just because I'm better than everyone else, therefore relying on voluntary charity will kill off all poor people."
Well then she wasted 80% of her money! She said that civil libertarian acts of private, voluntary charity doesn't work, yet that's exactly what she did! She chose to give that money away. She should've given it to the government if only public welfare works. And even if she did, she'd be voluntarily writing a check to the Treasury. Yet she advocates using force on everyone else. Makes sense. (not)
@SchuldinerIsGod91 she gave it back to society because that is the RIGHT thing to do, she recognizes that does NOT solve the problem, her act of deeply considered charity does NOT solve the wealth disparity problem, it does not solve poverty and it does not stop corporate exploitation of our laws and our workers. how do you people not understand these basic things? I can't believe how people you take an example like hers and say "see how easy it is, just write a check!". absolutely ridiculous.
@truthslap Do you understand the difference between voluntary actions and coercion? The government forces you to pay taxes. Charity is voluntary. I do believe charity is the right thing to do. But if it doesn't work, why bother? If government solves the wealth disparity problem, why not give it to the government if that's the only way it works. Government is force, which is the root of all evil. Seems like we libertarians understand statism better than you statists do.
@SchuldinerIsGod91 charity is the right thing to do, but it does not solve the inherent problems of our corporatist system which has created the largest wealth disparity, a system which allows incompetent CEOs to earn 400-700x a worker's salary and then get a fat severance package when they're kicked out, or their company gets bailed out if it fails. every major industry in America receives subsidies, cheap loans, and bailouts if they fail. govt is not the root of all evil, but you know what is.
@truthslap you know the government is the one that bails them out, right? Government is the one that forces taxpayers to pay for corporations that are politically well-connected. That is not capitalism. That is corporatism. We've had corporatism for many decades. It sucks. But it's government legislation that advantages corporations. That's what lobbying money goes towards: politicians who love to tell you and I what we can and cannot do, crushing entrepreneurs and personal freedom.
@SchuldinerIsGod91 that's exactly right, that's just what the corporate interests do, so can you explain to me how you would propose to keep the wealthy elite from lobbying government and determining legislation? without "government", the wealthiest industries would simply conglomerate, fix prices, exploit the country's workers, and by force or economy would become a government itself. how exactly would a free-market libertarian society keep that from happening?
@truthslap the only reason they consolidate is because of government regulation. It is very hard for small business people to start businesses. Occupational licensing laws are the best example of this. They are simply made to keep out competition, protecting a politically well-connected business. Government is the instigator. They are the ones who can use force, and the ones that want to regulate. Greedy corporations just opportunize on that. In a voluntary situation, it's best product, lowest $
@truthslap Gary Johnson didn't give any special favors to corporations. He couldn't be bought. What other governor is honest enough to want to legalize marijuana, veto 750 bills, or advocate for full blown school choice while in office. And he believes in free markets. You can bet Wall Street hates him. In fact, they hate him so much that Obama has raised the most money from Wall Street than any other candidate. They sure love their corporatism, and hate capitalism.
no masters degrees here but i work hard and have a 'job' actually it's my own business. looks to be the same age. not sure what this guy is feeling so good about carrying that smile while talking about it, like not having a job is to be proud of. and no my family isn't rich. there goes your common attack.
@murrman328 ya go support him. i know you have a beef with rp supporters not giving any face to old libertarians who haven't done jack for decades and managed to not grow while independents left both parties. go on. flame paul, support johnson.
Wall-Street Protesters LOVE Free Market Capitalism
Wall-Street Protesters HATE Corporatism, Fascism, USA's Permanent War Economy, Corporate Welfare/Subsidies, Trillions in Corporate Bailouts, Tax Loopholes, Neocons, Giving Trillions to Zionism, Lobbyists Buying Politicians, The Illegal Federal Reserve, Rothschilds, Pro-Monopoly AntiTrust Laws that prevent Competition and they HATE Crony Capitalism
Regulations DONT protect consumers, they protect Criminal Monopolies which pay Politicians the most
@halcyon0830 No, no they don't. In fact they've called for greater taxes, greater regulations, protectionism. Certainly not free- market, it seems to me they don't even qualify for moderate free markets.
@halcyon0830 Most of these things are stuff that we can all agree on. Too bad the handful of loonies in the OWS crowd get all of the attention. The crazy ones are ruining the message.
@halcyon0830 I guess everyone forgot why this country started imposing regulations at the turn of the last century in the first place (*coughmonopoliesfinancialmeltdownsplutocracycough*)
I am rather skeptical of your comment. I have seen a lot of morons speaking this "Comrade" language, demanding more social programs, more public funding, etc. I am not saying your wrong nor them but not all the protestors are pro capitalism or free market. I see a lot of drones down there
Maybe its not everyone, but I actually went down to the Occupy in my area and not a single person liked capitalism and EVERYONE thought that the bailouts were capitalism.
@Eterna1snow I love capitalism. What I don't like is crony capitalism or corporatism. Someone needs to pass on the difference between capitalism (good) versus corporatism/cronyism (awful).
@jteruel671 I agree on you with that, it just seems like the Occupiers really don't like capitalism (I've been to the Occupy in my area). They probably should, but they don't.
HEY WORLD - BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF HUMANS & AMERICANS ARE PROTESTING IN THE STREETS RIGHT NOW!
THEY ARE PROTESTING AGAINST DICTATORSHIPS IN AMERICA (JUST LIKE HOW EGYPTIANS AND TUNISIANS ETC PROTESTED AGAINST DICTATORSHIPS AND OVERTHREW THE DICTATORSHIPS). THE DICTATORS OF AMERICA WHO NEED TO BE OVERTHROWN ARE WALL-STREET, FEDERAL RESERVE, AIPAC, ISRAEL, PNAC, CFR, NEOCONS, WAR INDUSTRY, OIL INDUSTRY, LOBBYISTS WHO OWN POLITICIANS, MONEY IN POLITICS, TWO PARTY DICTATORSHIP IN USA & CORPORATISM
The only real hope for America is a flat, 100% income tax on all income above $200,000, and a 100% estate tax. This would at last create a level playing field and would create real wealth for the vast majority of Americans, who currently are being left in the dust.
@MortimerTheClueless I look at this post, and at your channel, and I think that it has to be the best piece of satire that I may have ever seen. Unless, you're serious, in which case, you're slightly/severely misled. But I'm going to go with satire, so bravo!
The woman at 3:00 cannot rely on the kindness of strangers to help the poor, while simultaneously expecting the majority to vote in poverty- friendly policies. Great magic trick!
@rbairos1 I know, right? I'm an anarchist, and whenever somebody says that with no government we'd have no X, Y or Z, I just tell them that the very fact that they think that would be a problem is the same reason why it WON'T be a problem. Obviously, over 50% of this country supports roads, sewers, power, schools, protection, feeding the starving, helping the unemployed, etc. because 'we' keep voting for more. If that same 50% gave 50% LESS money to private charities, they'd still get more done.
I gotta tell ya, some of his policies are pretty outrageous to me (privatizing prisons for instance), but his personality and demeanor is exactly what I want in elected officials...
@PrackFerpent some people prefer a bag of surprises.. you never know what ya gonna get. depends on which day which wall streeter reaches into obama's bag of surprises. i guess it beats going in knowing what you're getting into.
People who claim to go "beyond politics" always hold the most fascist beliefs. What they really mean is "beyond negotiation" or "beyond your freedom to choose".
So Pelosi puts Angelides in charge of investigating the origins of the subprime market that triggered our current financial meltdown. He then makes the most culpable villain, Country-Wide financial, off limits to investigation. I wonder if it had to do with the fact Pelosi's son was working there at the time? Angelides is also partners in a law firm that is suing the banks on behalf of the state union pensions that lost value as a direct result of Country-wides malfeasance Conflict of interest?
Lady at 3:00 is brain-dead. If she wants to give a lot of her estate away, good for her, go do it! Don't force others to give it to the govt. Can't fix stupid.
@YOYOdaMOOSE "fair tax sounds like a terrible idea" Understand this is concept is coming from the 47% of people who paid no taxes last year. That "47%" who would love to see every dime taken from you & me and Redistributed to them. Any of this sounding familiar yet?
Looks to me like Gary Johnson is in the position Ron Paul was in 2+ years ago. I'm a small part of Ron Paul's revolution, but I wouldn't want to move unless I really felt I had to. In 2008 I'll vote for Ron Paul. In 2012 I'll probably vote for Gary Johnson.
You know I am amazed at the ignorance of Americans like this lady that says she wants to be taxed more. Sweetheart why don't you go get some feathers and be a parrot. I guess that government funded education has made you real ignorant on the issues and forgot to take critical thinking class. I hear the 50 cats calling you they need to be fed.
My only beef with the Occupiers is that they are not universally nice guests in Gotham. They should learn a thing or two from Ghandi & Thoreau, to be civil in your indignant protestations & to respect others. Tashing the park, screwing store owners, etc. those aren't good witness to their (our) agenda or ethic.
What's so funny about peace, love & understanding?
@Yo2oob Good Point. I think anyone who even thinks about participation in civil disobedience or protests should read the like of Gandhi and Thoreau. Not doing so and not having a plan of action just sets you up for trouble with the law and I think that's what is really hurting the Occupy campaign.
I love Gary Johnson. But these folks who have buicked their malignant pejorative bilge on this page & passed judgment on folks they really don't know. This is the sort of hateful, jejune & ignorant hubris that makes most folks incapable of talking politics with others. Thank God we have a land thand allows & even encourages dissent. (cont'd in part 2) ----->
He doesn't understand anything she said. His mind are full of ... so he keep tell here his stuffs instead listening to the real stuffs those people experiencing.
The agonizing part of all this for me is that the answer is clear. We have over 10.000 years of recorded human history that tells us that these problems are the same ones faced anytime you delegate the ability to make choices about your life to someone else. Central planning always fails because central planners always fail to realize the true nature of of man. Once you realize the true nature of man is not altruistic in nature, you realize that coercive government can never work.
why would that woman who inherited money not want to be able to give away 80% of her inheritance? if the government taxes her more, she doesn't have that option. why does she think they could do a better job of distributing her money than her?
The OWS protesters are too far from Senator Chuck Schumer's office. He voted for the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act which removed the protections afforded by the Glass-Steagall Act. Senator Schumer's input on that legislation was instrumental in getting it passed through Congress.
What that woman with glasses fails to recognize is that the government hasn't been helping the poor. I don't think I've ever met a "poor" person satisfied with government assistance. Leave charity to social groups and keep government out of it.
@truthslap Have you ever seen abject poverty? Poverty in the U.S. and the third world countries look very different. If you want to give $ to the poor it is your right. What I earn, I keep to do whatever I please with it. When the government "gives" out what I keep, I don't know where it is going. Trillions of $ are lost and you want me to give money to a government that doesn't know where the $ is going and how its being used? Here's an idea, move to Cuba.
@PrivateSnowballTFC If she feels guilty because she didn't work for the money she inherited and wants to give it all away that is her business, but when she gets to use force using government to take money away from others that is where freedom ends and tyranny begins. People like this should be the change by doing something constructive instead of using force to make people believe that redistribution of wealth using government is the answer. Obviously she feels guilty for not earning her way.
@hooverdog1957 She said something about how having "no estate tax" was "outrageous", and that "civil libertarians don't work for [her], for the poor."
Gary Johnson is the only Republican candidate for President that has an open mind. He actually met with real OWS people rather than calling them a bunch of left wing loonies or distancing himself from them. It doesn't mean he believes in all the values expressed by all the members of the OWS movement but that he is willing to listen and hopefully educate them for what he stands for.
@jf2good Maybe he believes you can believe what you want and do what you want just don't use force to make you agree with those beliefs. Voluntarism and respect for private property are where it should all start.
At least that lady got to give her money to whomever she wanted instead of lining the pockets of the banksters she's protesting against through taxes. it is funny how people's misguided ideology blinds them.
Top 1% of income earners pay 34% of all federal income taxes. They earn 16% of all income. What the fuck do you mean by fair share if 1% already pays more than one third of all income taxes! The top 25% of income earners pay over 86% of all federal income taxes. TAX THE POOR!!! THEY USE OVER 80% OF ALL GOVERNMENT SERVICES!!! GET YOUR FUCKING FACTS STRAIGHT!!!
@ajacoid you made sense until you went all caps. The poor are poor and therefore have no money to be taxed. the poor in america are the only obese people in the world. they're fed well. they should work for their money, not expect handouts.
The lady that inherited her money, while it's admirable that she kept it, I just don't think she has the right to say people should pay more taxes. Some of us earn our money. Governor Johnson started a handyman business and when he sold it it had 3000 employees. If you inherited your money, you shouldn't be dictating what kind of taxes the rest of us (people that WORK for their money) pay.
@Drahthaar422 She was talking about the Estate Tax, which applies to inherited wealth. She didn't say that everybody should have to pay higher taxes. She may feel that way, but she said that she came into money when Bush got rid of the estate tax and she feels that they should pay on passed-down wealth. The estate tax doesn't apply to everybody either, only estates of a certain value and higher.
I can't believe I actually agree with Cenk about something

Well then she wasted 80% of her money! She said that civil libertarian acts of private, voluntary charity doesn't work, yet that's exactly what she did! She chose to give that money away. She should've given it to the government if only public welfare works. And even if she did, she'd be voluntarily writing a check to the Treasury. Yet she advocates using force on everyone else. Makes sense. (not)
SchuldinerIsGod91 4 months ago
@SchuldinerIsGod91 she gave it back to society because that is the RIGHT thing to do, she recognizes that does NOT solve the problem, her act of deeply considered charity does NOT solve the wealth disparity problem, it does not solve poverty and it does not stop corporate exploitation of our laws and our workers. how do you people not understand these basic things? I can't believe how people you take an example like hers and say "see how easy it is, just write a check!". absolutely ridiculous.
truthslap 4 months ago
@truthslap Do you understand the difference between voluntary actions and coercion? The government forces you to pay taxes. Charity is voluntary. I do believe charity is the right thing to do. But if it doesn't work, why bother? If government solves the wealth disparity problem, why not give it to the government if that's the only way it works. Government is force, which is the root of all evil. Seems like we libertarians understand statism better than you statists do.
SchuldinerIsGod91 4 months ago
@SchuldinerIsGod91 charity is the right thing to do, but it does not solve the inherent problems of our corporatist system which has created the largest wealth disparity, a system which allows incompetent CEOs to earn 400-700x a worker's salary and then get a fat severance package when they're kicked out, or their company gets bailed out if it fails. every major industry in America receives subsidies, cheap loans, and bailouts if they fail. govt is not the root of all evil, but you know what is.
truthslap 4 months ago
@truthslap you know the government is the one that bails them out, right? Government is the one that forces taxpayers to pay for corporations that are politically well-connected. That is not capitalism. That is corporatism. We've had corporatism for many decades. It sucks. But it's government legislation that advantages corporations. That's what lobbying money goes towards: politicians who love to tell you and I what we can and cannot do, crushing entrepreneurs and personal freedom.
SchuldinerIsGod91 4 months ago
@SchuldinerIsGod91 that's exactly right, that's just what the corporate interests do, so can you explain to me how you would propose to keep the wealthy elite from lobbying government and determining legislation? without "government", the wealthiest industries would simply conglomerate, fix prices, exploit the country's workers, and by force or economy would become a government itself. how exactly would a free-market libertarian society keep that from happening?
truthslap 4 months ago
@truthslap the only reason they consolidate is because of government regulation. It is very hard for small business people to start businesses. Occupational licensing laws are the best example of this. They are simply made to keep out competition, protecting a politically well-connected business. Government is the instigator. They are the ones who can use force, and the ones that want to regulate. Greedy corporations just opportunize on that. In a voluntary situation, it's best product, lowest $

@truthslap Gary Johnson didn't give any special favors to corporations. He couldn't be bought.

You can bet Wall Street hates him. In fact, they hate him so much that Obama has raised the most money from Wall Street than any other candidate. They sure love their corporatism, and hate capitalism.

Obviously, over 50% of this country supports roads, sewers, power, schools, protection, feeding the starving, helping the unemployed, etc. because 'we' keep voting for more. If that same 50% gave 50% LESS money to private charities, they'd still get more done.

The agonizing part of all this for me is that the answer is clear. We have over 10.000 years of recorded human history that tells us that these problems are the same ones faced anytime you delegate the ability to make choices about your life to someone else. Central planning always fails because central planners always fail to realize the true nature of of man. Once you realize the true nature of man is not altruistic in nature, you realize that coercive government can never work.
