These ultra wealthy change the laws to benefit themselves , then buy the politicians with all the money they have, then they say I am playing by the rules. Reagan was a tool for the Federal Reserve familes. Watch "America, Freedom to Fascism", on You Tube. Also, we should be paying zero interest. We have this whole class of bankers, who do not add value to anything, just living on the backs of the workers. Wake up slaves.
They are not "so-called rich" - they are rich. And 70% was the marginal tax rate from WWII until 1980 - the period we now call the Golden Age of middle class America. It was the most successful period the middle class ever enjoyed. So, 70% apparently was just about right.
you stupid morons 70% taxes for the so called rich is BULLSHIT.
Everything women in this country have to be thankful is in the private sector.
All this amounts to is jealousy. All boomer I knew who were poor in this country screwed themselves in the ass back in the 1970s
I do admit though we have to bring the labor force to 30% factory manu. etc. A balanced labor is crucial to the stability of our currency. Stop mindless sending the kids to college when they shouldnt be there
USA and the rest of American Continent was conquered by genocidal European mercantile military. Since its Independence from English absolutist Monarchy its been controlled,ruled andmanipulated by FINANCIAL MAFIA of certain FAMILIES. USA has never been a democracy and its so called middle class was relatively better off WORKING MEN AND MEN , dont shed crocodile tears for a few sold out working classto MONEY SYSTEM.
The real problem is that the working man votes for the LEAST worst candidates at elections. Thus endorsing the changes the ruling classes make. I am 45 and have never voted. So I'M not responsible for the situation deteriorating, the voters are. The ruling 'elite' only have their own self-interests at heart, they are amoral and greedy and corrupted by power. DON'T VOTE, and when the ruling classes see that they have no mandate to rule, a new system will be born, based on REAL democracy.
Thanks for publishing the video. One point was neglected. The top 10% has prospered (to a lesser degree) along with the top 1%. There's a quiet relationship between these two classes.
you fat americans have nothing to complain about....you are fat lazy and spoiled...and think you are poor because you have only basic cable and only 2 SUV per family/.
American have got confortable within the last 20 years. We need to stop and think about our actions as americans and stop blaming those who actually do try to make this nation better. Bumbs, Drug addicts, Alcoholics, Hoodlums, Prostitutes, theifs, Immigrants, and uneducated slackers! If you fall under one of those categories don't feel bad, your not alone. This sucks but its no ones fault but ours. Who forced u to buy drugs, commit a crime, ditch class, and buy $100,000 cars?Its simple, Be SMART
Another part of the problem is our lack of self-sufficiency.We waste lots of money on bullshit all the time just because we don't know how to do anything ourselves.Imagine all the money we could save with just a lil basic labor skills like plumbing,carpentry,etc.
Hell,I grew up in the Bob Vila days.When we needed new beds,my AUNT built them.Needed new space for a new baby?My aunts & uncles built an addition to the house themselves.We saved oodles of doe.
But its not entirely our fault.Hell,they got rid of all the shop classes.By the time I got to junior high in '95,the shop classes had just been cut a year b4.I was lucky to have metal & auto in H.S. b4 that got cancelled a year or 2 after I graduated.
But why would THEY want us learning shop?We might do somethin crazy like building & installin our own kitchen cabinets instead payin IKEA or some1 $5-$50k to do it.
I also don't waste money on electronics.All I really from my CPU is a good amount of hard drive space and the ability to get me on the internet & run my music making software.My Compaq PC I got for $300 in 2005 & my fat box monitor I FOUND BY THE DUMPSTER OUTSIDE,do me just fine.Hasn't failed me once.When it does,I'll upgrade.
And all I need from my cell phone is the ability to get on the internet & watch YouTube in my downtime at work.I don't need to scan barcodes & shit.
Me personally,I try only to buy things that will give me the most for my buck.I buy clothes that are devoid of logos,but just look good cuz they have nice designs TO ME.I don't have to worry about bein out of style cuz my shirt says Ed Hardy,when society says thats not cool anymore.I can go to Ross & buy 3 great lookin outfits for $100 (What some pay for the Tee of the week).My most complimented outfit is a $12 plaid shirt from Ross & a $10 pair of Rustler jeans from KMart.
Damn right, I had to live in a shelter with my mom and little brother for a year because of this shit, and now good luck on me getting a good job I worked at Wal Mart for 3 and a half months only to have enough money to just get around even though im working 20-30 hours a week PLUS my last paycheck got screwed because somehow im missing 100$ I called Corporate and they do nothing.
we're living in a world of pretenders and fakes. people are buying the newest cars and biggest 2-3 bedroom house or having gigantic debt size weddings, all to impress their friends and family but in reality, they're all fucking broke. just another joe schmuck working paycheck to paycheck but hey.."i like to spoil myslef" some would say. When the layoffs comes around and you get the boot, all that debt is waiting for you. This video perfectly explains the trap that is set for us like rats.
@grinkale Totally agree.Alot of this shit has to do with our values.Let's not forget about our own role in this game.Part of the reason we're broke is cuz of our spending habits.We're addicted to excess.We love wastin money.We buy overpriced clothes just for the logo,that go out of style in months & go buy the new fad for fear of embarrassment.We buy new cells,TVs & other gadgets every few months,when what we have works perfectly fine just for the fuck of it.
all I have to say is this, I envy the Elite, seriously I do because when these fuckers wanna fuck us all over, they arrange a meeting, discuss their evil plan and implement it and see it a success. Us, we fight each other like dog and cats in a ring with no rules or laws. We eat every shit they throw at us. just take a look at the kids today, everything is facebook, twitter, Iphone this, Ipod that. Music, sports and bullshit, thats all they know. Talk to them about economics, they dont shit.
But you guys c'mon!! You know the president is doing his best to create jobs right? You know those useless peice of shit $8-10 p/h service economy jobs that not even 2 parents both working full time at those rates could ever afford to buy a home much less raise 1 child comfortablly!!!?? Just from taxes taken from my paycheck alone every month is a rent payment for a nice 2 bedroom home! That doesnt even include the taxes I pay on goods. But go 2 sleep America you don't pay any taxes at all LMAO
I love the dialectic but we already know we're getting screwed. Americans need to know what solutions there are. If its French Revolution, then so be it, but a solution must be found.
I'm an economics student and I favor policies similar to Milton Friedman's. However, we've gone too far. The "trickle down" economic theory is a failure. Yes, the economy does better when people have more money, however concentrating the wealth to one group of people (in this case the wealthy) destroys the economy. The upper class gains their wealth through the middle and lower classes, people like you and I, without us, there wouldn't be a them. We need to empower the middle class.
The movement of capital, resources and goods is a defined process. People can and should have the (democratic) powers to define that process as best suits their interests. That's what defines a "nation." To the degree that the people's interests are not being served, describes a process which is undermining those interests. Usually, it is a conspiracy. e.g. A banker bribing a Congressman to vote for gutting regulations, is a simple conspiracy. It's really simple.
