  • the beginning of this video gave me a seizure.

  • Tax the rich

  • @9puertorico then funnel it into the middle east so we can stabilize the Heroi- i mean Region!

  • @9puertorico they already are taxed at 50% and pay around 90% of all taxes. You greedy much?

  • tax the wealthy and spend it on poor , the elderly, the sick, those who need. bad thing huh?...

  • @210daved1 I know right? Personally; i agree with the way our society thinks of it. Take from those that can't afford to pay and then give it to those who need it least. Makes much more sense, income inequality FTW!... er wait...

  • @210daved1 yeah keep taxing until there is nothing left, no water in the well, then we can all be equally miserable...if you think that way, you should get the fuck out of the country because traditionally this is a capitalist country

  • Would you prefer tax and save? Perhaps spend without taxing. That's what you Republicans do! And that's what you claim to be against, too. Funny, that. And before you genii trot out that argument about Obama's deficits, I will point out that I can and will ignore you on that score until you take responsibility for Reagan's deficits, Bush's deficits, and W's deficits.

  • @8arrows was it not the tax and spend that got rid of the deficits?

  • Yep, this pretty sums up Obama and just about every other democrat out there.

  • @wisdom700 You need to change your handle name.

  • Hey, I'm a 16 year old trying to learn about politics. I've been looking up Obama and why people don't like him although its always something to do with abortions, gays, public option, or ending the war. Although I'm pretty sure that these standpoints are typical of most Libs/Dems. Can anyone point out something EXCEPTIONALLY terrible that he has done worse than any other liberal president that he didn't promise during his campaign.

  • @iron100159 You claim to be a 16 year old kid "learning" about politis. Glancing at your profile and reading your comments, you clearly are an adult who is 100% Liberal.

    Pathetic Liar.

  • @kartman13 1.Your kinda creepy. 2. I am sixteen, whether u like it or not. Point out one fact to me that says I'm an adult. Actually, I say in my other comments that I'm 16 sometimes. 3.Never denied I was liberal. 4.I am learning about politics. I've only been doing this for a few months though. I like to do careful research and check counter-arguments so I'm not getting info from just one source. I wanted to see what the biggest real complaints against obama are. Can you give me one?

  • @iron100159 You are such a pathetic liar! You are not 16 and "learning"about politics. I can go to your profile and read your comments. Your own words:

    "HAHAHAHAHA. I live in MA, which allows gay marriage. I've been thorugh the school system..

    That's through the system, not in. Also, your writing clearly shows experience. Like your profile says, you're 39. The ends justify the means.

  • @kartman13 Ive been through the public middle school system. Im in a private high school now.(I think I actually said tht in some comments about the public school system.) And it doens't let you make an account here if your under a certein age i think. Although thank you for saying I sound experienced. Irregardless, can you please answer my question. What is the terrible thing Obama has done?

  • @kartman13 So in other words, you can't answer my question? You can't say what Obama has done that is sooooo terrible. I don't mind what the answer is, I just want an opinion from the conservative side.

  • @iron100159 Are you a total loser or a pedophile? How else could a 39 year old adult posing as a 16 year old can be described.

  • @kartman13 Cut the bs! I made the account a few monthes ag when I was 15. now try to make yourself a Youtube account where your a 15 year old. It won't let you. So unless I say I'm older than I really am, I can't make an account. Now give me one good criticism of Obama or I'm going to just consider myself the winner here, if its possible to win on Yuotube.

    P.S How am I the loser/pedophile. You scanned my account and read all of my comments trying to find any little error. Thats a little creepy

  • @iron100159 I have a neice and nephew both under 14 with Youtube accounts. Another lie.

  • @kartman13 Try to find the age on their Youtube accounts. If its actually under 13 then I'm in shock casue it wouldn't let me be 15. If you don't believe me then try yourself to make one as a 15 year old. Put the birthday as Jan 27 1996, exactly one year after my birthday. See if it works cause it didn't for me.

  • @iron100159 You keep going down the rabbit hole of lies. Really sad.

  • If we cut the DOD budget in half, we'd still have the strongest military in the world & we'd be able to put money into our infrastructure (which would creat jobs), fund a single-payer health plan (which would CUT healthcare costs), strengthen the enforcement power of the EPA (which would save lives & health AND cut healthcare costs) and still have money left over to pay toward the national debt. Think about it, all you demipublicans who support warmongers.

  • Every single word taken out of context.

  • Tax and spend is better than spent and borrow

  • Fact: A third of the obama "stimulus" was a tax cuts to all those making less then $250,000 (98% of us).

    Tax cuts(a conservative idea) don't provide long lasting stimulus, but if you can create a job then that person can make his own stimulus.

    The stimulus should have been mostly infrastructure jobs like liberals were saying all along. Liberals are the ones calling for cutting the military budget in half. Think what we could do with 350 billion every year?

  • @MaudsPas You may want to check your facts. I voted for this deceptive idiot with his promises of "Change". Of course I thought; just like the other millions who voted for him, the change would be good for the American public, but I was wrong and just as much to blame for the policies of this presidency because I just listened and didn't check the facts...but no more. Please look at all the facts before you follow this president into a greater hell that we are entering into. May God help us.

  • In 1976 99% of us had 80% of American Wealth. Today 99% of us have only 53% of wealth.

    At the same time conservative ideas like outsourcing our jobs(Bush signed Nafta in 1992), cutting taxes on BILLIONAIRES, Hedge fund managers, cutting capital gains tax to 15%, bankers.

    So we are making less and being taxed more to pick up the slack that the rich no longer pay in taxes.

    The top 1% ,on the other hand, now makes 23% of the income(6% on 1976), and pays less in taxes.

    The top 1% not only

  • I prefer borrow and spend Republicans

  • The big government guy is a fat redneck.

  • Please somebody shoot this Nigger.

    He is the end of US America. Now the rich get even more tax cuts.

    The rich upper class is the root of all problems in America and Obama is there obedient nigger for them. It's class war and he is a traitor. Shoot this brainless Zombie or we all get infected.

  • i have never felt the tax cut in my pocket,bank account food cloths and the list goes on ...etc....

  • Fun Fact: 95% of american's taxes have gone down during obama's time in the white house.

  • @LIGHTRONIX You do realize that the Bush tax cuts hadn't ended before that poll was taken either. Just wait for 0/415/2011.

  • @LIGHTRONIX You do realize that the Bush tax cuts hadn't ended before that poll was taken either. Just wait for 04/15/2011.

  • @LIGHTRONIX so does that mean americans are Stupid to vote republicans i mean if 95% go down. why did they vote for republican.

  • @dooooooer I can't even understand what you are trying to state here. You seriously need to work on your writing skills.

  • @LIGHTRONIX 95% of americans have a tax Cut right? why do they support tea party and republicans?

  • @dooooooer 45% don't pay taxes. They get a check. Thats is what the Dems call a tax cut. It is a welfare check.

  • @jimisback: 45% of Americans get a welfare check from the government? Where did you come up with that?

  • @tripfunkmonster 45% don't pay any income taxes. But they get a check from the IRS. I call that welfare.

  • @jimisback: I don't understand. Are you saying 45% of the country is on welfare?

  • @tripfunkmonster I am saying they pay no income tax. Yet they get money from the IRS. That is a welfare payment to them. Call it what you want. Tax credit will work.

  • @jimisback: 45% of the country? Where did you get that number?

  • @tripfunkmonster Google it and save both of us some time.

  • @LIGHTRONIX Why don't you go ahead and post how much unemployment and the deficit has gone up during his administration.

  • @deworeg I personally think we need to have more taxes because we are spending more than we have, and no one is willing to cut government spending.

  • @LIGHTRONIX Why should we have to fork out more money for those who don't know how to use it properly? That's like giving your kids an allowance and then upping it every week because they can't budget. What are they learning? The government needs to do like EVERY other American does and learn to live within it's means.

  • Sarah Palin will reduce the deficit!... by -100000%... just like she did in Alaska...

    And Obama will raise taxes by 1000000000000000000000000%... because obviously he increased taxes sooooo much the past few years...

  • Please. The taxes now are at the lowest point in history, and the reps have spent FAR more than the dems ever did. How much do you think wars cost? A lot more than feeding kids i promise you that. back in the "good old days" of the 1950's the higest marginal tax rate was 93%. yep...93%. why? to pay for the wars.

  • @dac8555 Because Obama isn't funding any war in Iraq or Afghanistan or anything like that.

  • Tucson, 10/9/10, a very big TEA party; I will be there!

  • Great job.

    More relevant that ever right now.

  • I look forward to the return of spend and spend republicans who don't even pretend to try to pay for stuff.

  • @zegermans750 i hope this gets highest rated comment

  • Great video, this whole depression was done on purpose. To make the people dependent on government. Done by the the elites that make the world go around. Bringing us to a New World Financial Order. George Soros word not mine.

  • Go Tea Party, you are the only good thing happening in this country. The extreme crazy liberals of today who have taken over the Democratic party said the Tea Party would fade away a year ago. So did the puppets in the media. They are back with a vengence and changing the direction of this country. What a powerful movement, keep up the good fight!

  • I've noticed single-digit IQ Tea-Baggers (and RepubliCONs) NEVER mention the FACT $200 BILLION Dollars "was missing" from the Dept of Defense (according to Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld). These same morons also likely believe Dumb-Shit W did NOT LIE about going to war in Iraq.

    ~ These same "Reich-WIng" lunatics also likely believe Dumb-SHit W & DICK H Cheney did NOT personally PROFIT from the HUGE RepubliCON War Machine or the Non-Competitive (no-bid) contracts with Halliburton

  • DAMN RIGHT!! We need the GOP back in charge!! We can run up another 5-6 trillion in debt and lets cut taxes on increase spend. That makes more sense. Screw paying for stuff now the grandkids can worry about 20 years from now.

  • Cool job using words he said about the opposite of what he was going to do. Clever thing for you to do there. You are like the Fox News version of Girl Talk with your mixing and matching skills.

  • Therefore, be it resolved, that any comparison to the patriotic Boston tea party is a joke and spits on all the values that true Americans have lived and died for. They are hijacking the quintisential patriotic act for what is essentially a mass demonstration of bigotry and ignorance. When teabaggers congregate, it reminds one so much of how the KKK marched down the DC mall at the turn of the 20th c. The KKK still exists, this is the 21st century movement of the KKK.

  • The Teabaggers are nothing new to the political landscape. They are merely a 21st century reprisal of an 18th century group known as the "know-nothings." The resemblance between the two is uncanny: predicated on xenophobic values and maintaining the status quo. Although the target is different now (Mexicans, vs. Irish and Southern Europeans at the time), the underlying principles of bigotry and ignorance remain the same.

  • The Teabeggars are a joke. They are a fringe minority movement within the Republican party. Full of racists and bigots-just look at the (mis-spelled) signs, hating on Mexicans and the Black President we have. They are disguising this under notions of taxation and big government. But the fact is, Bush was an advocate of many policies, deficit spending, big government, and pro-amnesty. Where were these hypocrites 8 years ago? Well, they won't protest a white president!!

  • Versus "Spend and spend"....

  • There's no doubt about it; Obama is a socialist.

  • @MrYoungIndependence

    Most of us are socialist. If you support the military, you support the LARGEST social program ever.

  • @Napalmdog Just because I think that some things should be nationalised doesn't mean I am a socialist. Of course it's important to have a mixed economy, but the public sector in America is far too big.

  • @MrYoungIndependence

    I'm not saying you're A socialist. I'm using socialist as a verb and sorry for the confusion. Every single person in office is socialist in one way or another, supporting programs for their constituents. Calling Obama A socialist is just inflammatory and unproductive.

  • @Napalmdog It's not inflammatory at all, it's simply a fact. A man who wishes to nationalise healthcare when his country has a spiralling deficit, and who implements this policy against huge democratic opposition, is clearly a socialist.

  • @MrYoungIndependence

    So if you're for social security or a strong military you're a socialist?

  • @Napalmdog I never said that. I'm for a strong military and welfare for those who need it, but not nationalised healthcare.

  • @MrYoungIndependence Think where the world would be if welfare only to went to people who deserved like veterans or the disabled rather lazy asses.

  • @futureWestPointhero_ I advise that you learn before making a further ass of yourself. 90% of welfare recipients are the children of single mothers. In addition the average welfare payment adjusted for inlation is HALF of what it was 20 years ago...about $350 a month. Just barely enough for groceries. Do you propose to just let the kids startve to death? is that what you think we should do? who are the lazy asses?

  • @dac8555 .. And compare that to the insane amount of dollars spent on gov employment and waste creating this monster called the federal gov and welfare is a very small thing..

  • @Napalmdog i guess Mryoungindependence is an idiot dont argue with him he will drag you to his level and beat you with idiocy experience.

  • @MrYoungIndependence

    Well, I am using socialist in it's truest sense; An adjective. We are all socialist in some way. It's not a black and white world as people would like to be. It's still interesting, though. You believe some things should be nationalized and you aren't a socialist, yet Obama is with no doubt a socialist through and through...

  • Where were you guys when George W. Bush was spending a fortune looking for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

  • @DEricKesler Bush found the WMD in Iraq. His name was Saddam Hussein and he was responsible for 2 million deaths, many of them his own people. Now the question is, where do you stand on our current administration's decision to spend $1 million on parking garages for bicycles in Oregon. And when you explain that one, I'll get to the rest of the 500 similar wastes of money from the stimulus.

  • @Cedtoron I think you are mistaken. Saddam Hussein was not a weapon of mass destruction; he was a friend and ally of President George Bush Sr. until he went rogue (like Sarah Palin).

    Do you seriously want to quibble about one million dollars spent promoting alternatives to fossil fuels, while ignore the fact that George Bush Sr. spent billions (with a “B”) building up Iraq so that his son could spend billions tearing down Iraq? Where the hell is your sense of fiscal responability?

  • @DEricKesler Did the parking garages for bikes find any alternatives for fossil fuels?

  • @Cedtoron Are you really this stupid, or is this a character you have created for youtube?

    I will assume you are stupid and explain it for you. You spend money to make life better for people who use alternatives to fossil fuels. This will encourage more people to use alternatives to fossil fuels. By providing parking for cyclists, more people will be encouraged to use a bike instead of a car.

    Do I need to explain to you that bikes don’t use fossil fuels?

  • @DEricKesler My mistake then. I thought the stimulus money was spent to help the economy.

  • Wait... Didn't Obama lower taxes?

  • @Cyber0Bill

    Not in the long run. Take a look at the health care bill: it taxes all benefits.

  • @electio538politicus - What "benefits"? There is no public option.... while there ARE tax increases (mostly for businesses) in the health care bill, they are only used as a method to get more people insured. If you have a qualifying health insurance plan, your taxes should be unchanged in most cases. And a chunk of the cost of the bill is actually for credits/subsidies so that people who can't afford insurance right now will be able to get insurance on their own.

  • @Cyber0Bill

    What I meant was that what you collect in health care from your plans is taxed, plus, the tax on Cadillac plans, and an additional tax on high wage earners. So, no, he did not lower taxes. If you work at a company that now has to pay a tax on the health care benefits they will simply move the cost to either consumers or employees. One way or another, everyone, with a few exceptions, with feel a burden from the plan. The fact that it goes to others' health care just makes it worse.

  • @ 0.42-0.50 ROFLL!

  • well, you got the propaganda part right........

  • Shit and cry, that's all babies do.

    Tax and spend, that's all governments do.

    Whoever made this is trying to make us hate our government.

    Governments tax, spend and serve. Hopeful you get a fair amount of service for your taxes. But taxing and spending are not evil, they are common functions of government.

  • @SamWiseGingy While you do have a good point, Governments always Tax and Spend. But when taxes increase behind a transparent sheet of thick mud (which is not transparent for those not understanding my meaning :p) it gets out of hand. The Health Care has increased our debt by over 100,000,000,000 in the first week. And Obama will not cuts taxes to increase revenue and pay for the bill. No MORE TAXES!

  • @1stlist Okay you oppose Obama's policy. Everybody has a right to their opinion. But critizing government for simply taxing and spending is stupid.

    I know it is a common charge but it doesn't make any sense.

  • Tax and spend? We have the lowest taxe sin 50 years? Also, the democrats are BY FAR the more fiscally conservative of the parties. The Reps have caused the vast majority of our nations debt.

  • @dac8555 lawl funny guy. While yes Clinton actually had a surplus, but instead of paying of other national debts of ours he wasted it. Now with Democrats as more fiscally conservative: Obama's Health Care bill has increased our debt by $100,000,000,000 in the first week. DAMN that is a lot.... certainly a lot more than any republican president I can think of...

  • @1stlist No Clinton didn't waste it. Yes Clinton payed down the debt.

    And for the record not one Republican voted for Clinton's first budget that started the surpluses.

  • @SamWiseGingy well... i guess this means that wasted is termed under our own beliefs of his spendings. At the same time, yes no republican that comes to mind voted for it, but compared to any republican president. Obama has spent more, and has wasted more (again my opinion on his spending)

  • @1stlist Republians Taxed and spent and ran up deficits. Where were you guys then. Clinton should be your hero. He was more fiscally responsible than Reagan, Bush or Bush.

    You guys say you are just about financial policy but you never mention Clinton in a positive light. Why not?

    When Obama came into office he had to stimulate the economy. That is expensive.

  • @SamWiseGingy On the financial note: I don't know anymore. So I admit defeat on that front. And I can tell you by tomorrow I will be able to tell you all about everything financially related to Clinton. As for me not liking him: SOMALIA, he absolutely blew out there. His whole operation there was horrible. Horrible in everyway. In fact he sucked with everything to do with the military. (there is more but the character limit and I am quite tired lol)

  • @1stlist- every republican since 1980 has run the debt sky high and you know it. The ehalthcare bill hasnt cost ANYTHING so far and you know that too. the only money obama has spent is to try to resuce the country from going completely broke thanks to Repubican massive overspending and cuting the taxes at the same time. Tell me where democrats have spent new money? they havent. All dem projects cost less today than they did 20-30 years ago.

  • @dac8555

    Obama has pretty much spent as much as all of those other Republicans combined already.

    Spending of Miltary Manufacture of weapons like Reagan did can stimulate the Economy.

    In fact it was Miltary Weapons Manufacture that Saved the U.S from the Great Depression.

    Before WW2. F.D..R's New Deal was a Flop. After the REcession of 37. More people were unemployed in actual amounts than ever.

    Then, After WW2. The Unemployment rates were as lo as 1 -3 percent.

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand-If you don't see that bush/obama had to spend all that money to keep the nation from going broke, then i can't help you. You have to understand that it was the lesser of 2 evils. I hate it, but it saved the country in the short term. If you cant see the basics stats on the new deal and can then defend continued miltary spending on a defunct cold war...then you simply can't be educated as your bias is firmly intact.

  • @dac8555

    The New Deal didn't really do anything. It was World War 2 that saved us.

    In the Recession of 37. There were more people in actual numbers unemployed than in the Great Depression.

    & Those numbers were growing untill WW2 came about.

    It is because in 1937 F.D.R had to rebalance the budget & had to RAISE TAXES & it caused Economic Turmoil IF NOT FOR WW2. We may have become a Third World Country.

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand- 1929 unemployment 25+% 1939 unemployment 12% 1939 is pre WWII. get it? yes we went to full employment thanks to WWII. I wont discount that. the new deal worked then, and continues to work today.

  • @dac8555

    It was not the Local & Small businesses who got these bailouts like the Big Corporations.

    We have DAMAGED the Natural Competititve market & have allowed for even more desparity between HUGE Corporations funded by the Government & Small Businesses falling without care.

    With Tax cuts those Businesses could EQUALLY get a Tax cut & Use that money to promote their business.

  • @dac8555 in 1939 the Unemployment rate was 17.3 percent. 6 years after the New Deal & not much results.

    If he did NOTHING it could have gotten down to that rate.

    in the year 1931 on there was already a little growth in jobs WITHOIUT the New Deal.

    F.D.R had to balance the budget & raised Taxes caused the Recession of 37 we had 20 percent Unemployment rates again. these Stimulus Packages play favoritism & promote companies to fail.

    we have given rewards for failure.

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand You are right, it was around 12% in 37, not 39.

    I Agree the stimulus was not perfect, but don't oversimplify.. My point is simply that the nation depends on banks and credit expansion for survival. It really is the back bone of everything. all banks are also interconnected. Let half the prime dealers fall and the financial system fails. Hence the nation fails. We had to rescue to pervent the entire nation from defaulting.

  • @dac8555

    Yes, Credit expansion is needed to progress the nation. not on a Down fall.

    We should have just let the Banks go down.

    Other banks would come up to take their place.

    That is Capitalism at it's greatest. That what Fails naturally will go under.

    In This Corporate Welfare Socialism for Corporations. We promote failures & we bail these failures out.

    We are destroying the Natural Competitive market MORE & we are giving people the idea of Failure leads to Rewards

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand - Normally, you would be right. The banks actually have a very different interconnected structure. It would require about 5 pages and graphs to explain.... Basically...all money is concentrated in NYC and london. There are 18 primary dealsers that countrol all the money. If half go down, the nation defaults. 3 wentdown overnight...probably the rest would have gone. Letting them fail would have destroyed the infrastructure of the first world...literally.

  • @dac8555

    Yes, I know the Banks are centered on New York & London.

    However these banks become a Unstoppable force.

    We lgive these Top Banks the Power over Nations & the People.

    We are only empowering them more & making us greater slaves to the Banks decisions.

    If they fuck up. We bail them out. They could be replaced.

    I think ALOT of Problems have come about from the Banks on top having their way, not having responsibility for their actions & a lack of competition.

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand- right...banks are exactly an unstopable force. In the end, they fund everything, The military and the entire government...which is why it was essential that they were bailed out. The other option was to let everything go broke and restructure the nation...Maybe not a bad idea...but unsettling. I personally would not have minded letting them go broke, but the face of the world would have changed.

  • @dac8555

    But, We are only empowering Banks more & Only further creating a harder grip by bailing out these banks.

    Banks have more power than ever.

    If we let them slip there would be chaos for awhile. But, We would still have production & Other banks would take it's place

  • @dac8555

    By bailing our these Banks we have shown who clearly runs the World & This country.

    That is Bankers.

    Even the New World Order Ideals are based upon these Bankers holding Power over the world by holding funds by a country.

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand- i wont disagree. this is why I always find it odd how everyone attaks the politicians when they arent really in power, The corporations are our rulers. They pull the strings.

  • @dac8555

    Not really even Corporations.

    The Banks are on top.

    Even banks hold corporations at randsome.

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand No such thing as a New World Order

  • @futureWestPointhero

    No New World Order?

    The Very presidents & Politicians even speak of the NEw World Order.

    What it is exactly is up for debate.

    Since Bankers have the power to let countries go under due to funds & as well as Corporations it makes sense that Bankers would have such enormous power that they could indeed create what is like a New World Order.

  • @futureWestPointhero

    Interesting you have Reagan on your videos.

    Because Reagan had FIRST said he would not let a Vice President in a Secret Organization like Skull & Bones into the White house as Vice President (In reference to George H. W Bush)

    Which he was shot & then all of a sudden George H. W. Bush

    Funny how J.F.K also spoke out of Secret Organizations ruling the world just before he was shot.

  • @dac8555

    Obama & Bush had to spend all this money to keep from going broke.

    Spending money to keep going broke is an OxyMORON. YOu put the Moron in it.

    It would be like if someone lost a job. So instead of down grading to a smaller house.

    They took out a "Loan" But we will call it a Stimulus package & BOught a BIGGER HOUSE.

    But, Still does not have a job yet.

    That is what our Government is doing to us.

    Spending because you are broke is BEYOND IDIOTIC.

  • @AztlanMeansWhiteLand-you obviously dont understand the absolute basics of business 101. It isn't like your example at all. Listen. i mean it...Listen. Please. It is like someone has a business that is going downhill so they take out a bank loans to get new machinery, train their people, and open new busness lines to stay competitive. They have a big debt but at least they stay in business and have a shot at being competitive. Please tell me that makes sense to you.

  • @1stlist - You're whole message is just not true. Clinton didn't waste a surplus, in fact he DID pay down the largest amounts of debt in our recent history. And while putting a bunch of zero's on $100B makes it look big, the Iraq war cost $500B, and TARP cost $700B. The budgeted deficit under Obama was nearly identical to the actual deficit under Bush (who made his budgeted deficit look better by hiding the cost of two wars)

  • @1stlist - Our national debt went from $6T to $13T in 8 years under George W. Bush. It more than doubled. So, while I agree that we should try to be more fiscally conservative and should fix our budget, it is a steaming pile of dung to say that our current national debt of $14T after 1 year of Obama is somehow vastly worse than Bush. And the $1T that Obama has added includes (most of) his stimulus plan, which we've almost surely seen the last of.

  • Here a some what fun story from Denmark. Once there was a politician that went to election on a max tax of 40% for all citizens. He was laughed out, and his career was destroyed, and not even neer elected.

    Why did this happend you might ask? Well, very few danes could see how a society could function, if the tax is ONLY 40%.

  • Thank you President Obama for cutting my taxes! I got the biggest refund EVER!!!

  • Only the countries low income losers got refunds. you must be some uneducated low income or a welfare parasite, or a govt worker living off the taxpayers.

    Which one is it?

  • @ISpeakTrue that was for blazak

  • @ISpeakTrue Actually, Im a university professor who cleared 70K. Try again, dumbass.

  • @blazak Exactly, a teacher.......... the new lawyers. I hate teachers as much as lawyers, they are parasites who live off tax payers property taxxes, and use students as bargianing chips roe their salaries. You are dumbing down students. I'm an engineer who makes 6 figures and the recent engineer graduates are so dumb they can't even do grammer school frctions. Good job!

  • @ISpeakTrue Wow. You hate teachers? You are like the American version of the Taliban. Sad.

  • @blazak whats to like? they indoctrinate students in political views, just to vote in liberal/socialists, becuase your teachers union pays big time to their campaigns.

    In return your salaries are raised, on the back of tax payers. And again you are not teaching. the generation now are the dumbest in 50 years. Engineering graduates who can't perform basic math. You are to busy teaching about condems, and global climate crap.

  • @ISpeakTrue- you need professional help. You reality is really different from the rest of the world's reality. Please seek help soon, for your own good and the good of those around you.

  • this is just a basic fact but tax is the lowest its been in 50 years so....

  • @satec77 If you are in that 47% that pay no income tax, I guess so. new taxes in healtcare law: 20 percent for non-medical early withdrawals from a health savings account, 10-percent excise tax on using indoor tanning salons, deduction for medical expenses increased from 7.5% to 10%, 40-percent tax on high-cost insurance plans , there is not enough room for the rest....

  • Elizabeth Nietzsche.

  • This is almost as good as the Bush song, " spend and spend"

  • Democrats are against: the oil industry coal industry nuclear power industry logging industry defense industry banking industry fast food industry pharmaceutical industry soda pop industry insurance industry domestic auto industry bottled water industry tobacco industry Walmart corporate profits in general. Then they stand there and say - WE NEED JOBS !

  • Lack of economic regulation is a major reason why we're in this crisis in the first place and the Tea Party wants less of it? The most efficient economy is when government regulation and free enterprise are balanced.

  • @wiimoode The main reason we are in the situation is the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 with the writing of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 which allowed the creation of financial derivatives. After that it was just a waiting game until in all blew up in our face like the first great depression.

  • @wiimoode Not really. What you have to understand is that many of these Teabagging tampons elected Bush, and spent 2000-2008 scratching their homongenously white sacks while Bush started two wars (one of which most people agree was unnecessary), suspended habeus corpus, shat all over the Constitution with the Patriot Act. It's only when a black centrist wimp like Obama comes that white conservatives feel "all oppressed".

  • Reagan raised taxes at record levels, borrowed money at record levels and grew the size of the government by record levels.

    The two Bushes continued that legacy. Dubya and his Republican congress were responsible for the worst economic collapse since the great depression. They also grew the national debt faster than any president in American history and, literally, sold us out to the Chinese.

  • @ihamoitc2005 You are Clueless. When Reagan became President the highest tax rate was 70% he dropped the highest tax rate to 28% and the economy took off!

    in fact revenues to the fed went up due to increased economic activity. The defecits were due to a Democrat Congress that spent every penny that came in....

  • Clinton actually balanced the budget, something your Republican heroes failed to do. In fact, Rove said "Deficits don't matter."

    Guess what.. Deficits do matter.

    Clinton raised taxes, reduced national debt as a percentage of GDP and balanced the budget. This resulted in the greatest increase in real prosperity and technological leadership in American history.

  • @ihamoitc2005 Clilnton only balanced the budget because he had a Republican Congress that insisted on it. Nice try though....

  • No the Republican Congress decided to call it quits trying to block anything that was Clinton's. He introduced the plan and Congress passed it. And Reagan failed to lower unemployment; by the late 80s unemployment rates were higher than today. He also tried to develop a space laser program. Didn't happen and billions and billions of dollars down the drain for nothing.

  • @wiimoode  Y ou're insane or clueless. The unemployment rate in the late 80's were NOT higher than they are today.

  • @MetalDetroit The unemployment rate was around 10.8% in the late 80s then now it's 9.7% Under Reagan, the deficit jumped from 280 billion to 2.3 trillion. Of course that's no where near todays deficit. But when you look at past Republican presidents they spend way too much on military. We spent over 700 billion dollars a year on military 100 billion of it for the Iraq War.

  • @wiimoode

    It was 10.8 percent in the EARLY 80's, When Reagan had just been in office.

    By the Time Reagan left office the Unemployment rate was about half of that.

  • @wiimoode

    in 1982 Unemployment was 10.8 percent.

    By, 1989 when Reagan left office it as 5.2 percent.

    Reagan also cut inflation down alot.

    Reagan is the reason that the 90's had a Low Unemployment rate, Low Inflation rates & Were doing well Economically.

  • @MetalDetroit That's not true....they fought him tooth and nail. Republican always fight thing they don't birth. Bad try for you....

  • Catchy tune.

  • I want my two minutes back

  • The plans of Obama and some of the Democrats in passing Obamacare reveal an agenda driven by blind ideology rather than rationale. From the conduct of governors in Illinois and New York to backroom deals over Obama's healthcare overhaul, some Democrats are drawing their own criticism when it comes to the ethics of public officials. The party that pledged to "drain the swamp" if given control of Congress finds itself sinking in the muck...

  • In the weeks before the 2006 elections, Pelosi led the campaign battle cry to end "the culture of corruption." Democrats gained control of the White House and Congress in part by vowing to "cleanse the institutions of government." Breaches by their party members high and low reveal their hypocrisy. Their dark-of-night dealmaking and misbehaving members are paying the price by putting some idiots in positions of power and showering them with privileges unknown to most people they govern...

  • There's a backlash building against the entire secular, socialist wing of the Democratic Party. Whether it's House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, (D-California), or Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, (D-Nevada), or Obama, all of them are arousing the American people to defend America against very left-wing, radical ideas...

  • Republican victories in the Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races show support for the GOP and conservative policies are building. None of us have forgotten about Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts for the people either. Also, the National Debt set another record. First it hit $12 trillion. This is the second time the debt has set a record since Obama assumed office. Maybe the new SOS should be Stop Obama's Spending...

  • And you people already made your voices heard when you voted last time. Do you seriously want me to believe you all were voting Democrat this last time and now in response to Obama's policies THIS time you'll vote Republican!? You may be that stupid, I'm not.

  • Sarah Palin 2012? The Mayans warned us! Also I agree with 2 people above, in the next few years when this bill is looked back upon as one of the best things ever passed in America the Republicans will look like total idiots for unanimously opposing it. Not that they don't look like total idiots already.

  • That was awesome! lol! :D

  • ;lolollololol

  • LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • obamas coo

  • FUCKING OBAMACARE. what a load of fucking shit!!! i hate that BLACK MUSLIM COMMUNIST. i pay enogh in taxes already. dont want MY MONEY to go to fucking drugaddict WELFARE HOMO lazy UNAMERICAN atheists. america is CHRISTIAN.the bible and the constitution say that obama and other MUSLIMS should go back to iran

  • You're a cocksucking faggot.

  • Are you really a liberal democrat posting this stuff to make conservatives look bad? Because if you are, you are doing a really good job. If you are not then you are an idiot and a disgrace. You are not a true American.

  • @1kemistry im seriously offended that you suggest im a libtard democrat. maybe im a bit more forcefull than others in getting my points across but thats just so people will TAKE NOTICE of my posts.obama HUSSEIN obama is a COMMUNIST becuse he wants us to have a communist health care system were normal CHRISTIAN hardworking americans have to pay for welfare for godless immigrant DRUGADDICTS and homos. obamas a MUSLIM thats president of a CHRISTIAN COUNTRY and thats very wrong

  • @McHenryTheBrave First of all Obama is not a Muslim. He claims to be a Christian. Second, not all Americans are Christian. Third, The USA is a nation of immigrants. Your "forceful " comments don't only make you seem ignorant but, they provide ammunition for liberals everywhere. Try being a little more classy.

  • @1kemistry Also for the same point to claim Obama is both Marxist and Muslim is absurd because Marx called for atheism while Islam is monotheism. And people also claim he's fascist but that's the exact opposite of communism giving big industry more power instead of eliminating it. I have no idea where they get their ideas.
