  • In 1833 the United States abolished Federal imprisonment for unpaid debts,Six states (Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and Washington) allow debt collectors to seek arrest warrants for debtors in default if all other collection methods have failed. Whether a debtor will actually be prosecuted or not varies from state to state, county to county, and town to town...

  • Just another example of bringing back antiquated laws and practices that so many have fought to abolish and reform through blood sweat and tears. How can this be happening? In a few short years all the civil rights that were gained over the hard work of generations are being systematically crushed. Welcome to George Orwell's Big Brother society. This is being implemented globally with such swiftness everyone is reeling from the impacts of one shock after another and nobody knows how to stop it.

  • Banks charge enormous amounts of money on fees and interest and credit card companies are charging up to 29%, and many people are simply paying just interest, criminal!

  • Μολῶν λαβέ

  • Does this mean we can throw Bush and Obama in jail? if so then I am all for this...

  • Spending money they dont have.. That sounds like the US government.

  • I elect to raise each individuals debt ceilings to an exaggerated high for the year and when they see they cant pay it back then have the ability to raise it again the following year.

  • LOL with the argument at 1:22, ok, lets put our whole government in debtor prison too!

  • Renounce your US Citizenship, become a citizen of your State

  • theres alien ufos in the back ground. plus u can see through the building.

  • Google; ' spiritual white boy accounts ', IF, you think this is all "by accident". And YES, there should be consequences for those responsible. WHY NOT?!! The GLOBAL Economic Meltdown, IS A HOAX!!!

  • Wow. THE DAM COUNTRY IS IN DEBT, SO shouldn't we arrest these dumb leaders who put us in debt too? If you arrest ANYONE for owing money, start with the Pentagon and BANKS who owes the tax-payers first.

  • @edwinr360 Exactly what I was thinking. Good call!

  • The MOST DIGUSTING thing about this whole monetary system is that there is much more debt than there is actual money and this is causing it to FAIL, period. I wonder why these people can't pay their debts when they're worried about how they will feed their children or provide a roof over even their own head. It is NOT the justice system's job to do the dirty work of banks and corporations. What the fuck is this world coming to...

  • they're not going to languish in jail. they're going to be put to work to pay off that debt for slave wages.

  • Fire EVERYONE in CONGRESS!!!!!!!

  • If that's the case then the American Gov. should go to jail for not paying the National debt! Hypocrites!

  • Thank goodness for bankruptcy. I'll pay back my debts to the credit cards when $20.00 an hour factory jobs come back to America. Until then, the big banks and the US government can go suck it. Big time.

  • They need to fill the private prisons...funded by Wells Fargo.

  • I like the read head

  • THIS IS THE KIND OF SHIT DANIEL SHAYS WAS REBELLING AGAINST

    THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE ENDED 200 YEARS AGO

    THIS IS CLEAR DEVOLUTION OF THE AMERICAN SYSTEM

  • Banks that got bailed out need to forgive the debts of average people in a bad economy.

  • Unconstitutional 

  • prisons and jails are a business in US.

  • so u get put in jail, taxes get 2 pay 4 ur care and 'ka-ching' the taxes go 2 the private corporation that jails u. and the corporation is the one pulling strings 2 get law passed 2 put u in jail. The money system is totally corrupt. i'm age 64 and have lived by the skin of my chinny-chin-chin my whole life just 4 basics. we're coming in2 a new age and i advocate the idea of a resource based economy outlined by Jacque Fresco: thevenusproject, unitinghumans, thezeitgeistmovement dotcoms PLEASE

  • the ones who need 2 b in jail wear $5,000 suits

  • NEWS FLASH FOOLS!!!!!!! ITS ONLY GONNA GET WORSE!!!!!! GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!!!

  • There needs to be consequences for loaning money too. Those consequences are that you might not get it back.

    I say it should start with China and Japan losing their money.

  • if they keep with this ,government will need more jails then MCDonalds restaurants .50 million poor and growing

  • Well I give up on life then because I am in major debt. Guess my punishment for not paying is going to be anal rape. That's a GREAT way to get your debts back. Throw the debtor in jail. That stimulates the economy so much. WELCOME TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER POLICE STATE.

  • @danmo783 lol,They call them FEMA camps! I'm sure there is one just around the corner for all of us!

  • So we can be jailed for not paying bills, while the banks STEAL TRILLIONS and bring nations to ruin ?

    If there are any cops reading this...

    Stop being a thug for the corporate/banking mafias !!!

    Duh !

  • FREE ADVICE HERE: IF YOU DON'T OWE A LOT, THEN PAY $5.00 OR $10.00 A MONTH.

    THIS WAY YOU ARE PAYING TOWARDS THE DEBT. I'VE DONE IT A FEW TIMES AND NEVER GOT THREATENED. IF THEY THREATEN YOU, JUST LET THEM KNOIW THAT YOU WILL CONTACT THE GENERAL ATTORNEYS OFFICE IF THEY CALL YOU AGAIN. THE CALLS WILL END.

  • How are they getting prosecutors to take a clearly civil matter? Are people sueing over this since it is in violation of the law and FDCPA etc.??

  • People that loan money to people that can not pay should face the system and allow them to loose money as they should instead of taxpayer subsidizing their stupidity.

  • Dam this chick is hot. RT has got some of the hottest anchors! Oh and it is wrong to throw people in jail for debt. Maybe they lost their job or got sick or living paycheck to pay check.

  • let me guess. you commies want everything for free. how dare someone expect you to pay your bills. fucking parasites.

  • The bankers steal 18 trillion, and you Americans jail pot smokers and debtors. Goddammit, how stupid can people get?

  • @TheDonster666 - Tell me what country you're from and I'll tell you.

  • @TheDonster666 You know man you speak the truth and it is the American peoples fault. Congress on a good year may have 23 - 26 percent job support \ approval. was as low as 13 percent here recently but when the time comes to vote out shits its like people forget and vote for the same god damn politicians example Reid’ Pelosi’ McCain ect. You want real positive change get rid of these damn for life long seats in the house it is obvious they have screwed our country up.

  • i own a dental bill right now i cant pay so they just have to fucking wait for it and idk about jail ill just take it to trial and cost the state more money! so what if i do time FREE DENTEL,MEDICAL,PILL CALL GET YOUR FREE DRUGS! the food is shit but fuck it! FOOD STRIKE!

  • FREE FOOD AND MEDICAL IN JAIL! TAKE UP SPACE SO A CHILD MOLESTER CAN STAY OUT OF PRISON AND RAPE YOUR KIDS WOOT! plus prisons have tons of drugs HOTEL CALIFORNIA ,SUCH A LOVELY PLACE!

  • people need to pay the debt for what? wells fargo got 91 billion lol bank of america around 80 billion lol

  • The government is in debt so it should go to jail like sopa!

  • theft, because you have to pay or return the item like a car. They are just twisting it.

  • People aren't being arrested for non-payment of debt. They are arrested for not showing up for their court appearances. There is a difference.

  • @tcorourke2007 Yes, you can be arrested for contempt. But, they are throwing people in jail for debt as well, not for no shows solely.

  • @TheDonster666 Source?

  • nod nod nod

  • wow

  • so can they get me for not paying hospital bills?

  • GINGER!!!!!!

  • pure chicken shit!!!!!!!

  • Make it illegal to offer people debt traps this System is shit. I can't even cancel internet without a 80 dollar cancelation fee its shit

  • @MrPhilosophyStuff lol so true!

  • When do you round up the bankers? FUCK YOU

  • America has always been a laughing stock. The joke of the world. The nation is run by complete assholes and morons. Good luck if you live in the shit hole. Australia rules.

  • @baalisgod666 you are so right on! I hate it here man... simply listen to this crap.

  • This is funny. My government tries to get me into debt so I can get a job. I refuse debt. I won't study unless it's free. I won't work unless it's tax free. See you at the beach.

  • You can't pay so tax payers pay for you to go to jail???? ONLY in America or North Korea. Get the picture?

  • i think my eyes are bleeding...The government is the worst of the worst debt makers put them in the hole.

  • Debt makes you a slave. Just look at what the big banks are doing to every country in the world. Governments, without your permission sign on to these fiat debts making their populations slaves to the banks for generations! And people wonder why there is so much unrest world wide!

  • Debtor prisons were worked out a century ago as being an abomination that simply does not work. Men missing child/spousal payments is horrific, their debt builds up as they are in prison.

  • No one wants to go into debt. All it takes is losing a job, getting in an accident, having an illness or a death of a loved one. Putting people in jail for debt is not the answer. Some creditors are citing contempt to get debtors arrested. in order to get out of jail you now have to pay the debt out of money you don't have. There by causing them to stay in jail, which can cause them to loose the little job they may have. Does that make sense to anyone?

  • THE END OF YOUTUBE! watch?v=30-d2G3vrpE

  • You think more people would pay back the money but it will only make more crime lol People don't pay because they have drug habits or ARE BROKE! prisons filled with homeless people... you do know in jails you get free medical and some dental how much will that coasts?drugs for prisoners is allot of money and creates more addicts do to the fact plent of drugs in prison. what about mothers,fathers will the kids go to cps? ITS GOING TO ALL COME DOWN SO GET READY FOR THE RIDE OF YOUR LIFE!

  • YOU GOT TO ARREST THESE PEOPLE TO! watch?v=30-d2G3vrpE

  • Rich people never have to pay a overdraft fee so you can honestly THEY DO ONLY TARGET THE POOR! To the elite most of us are worthless eaters and they are insecure about they greed! WHAT YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ABOUT THEM IS THEY HAVE D.U.M.B's! The way things are going I can honesty say in my belief,they want to kill us slow and when the time comes they can drive off in the pussy mobil and hide in the D.U.M.B!and get away. GOT DOOMS DAY SEEDS? 

  • That why u need to vote for Ron Paul Freedom,, less government control your life and they cant tell you what to do 

  • Don't worry about real criminals on our streets, they have no money, today the police spend their times pulling people over for not wearing a seat belt, or talking on their phone. Now they are going to arrest decient people for running up their credit card because they need to eat and pay rent. Okay people, we are now down the rabbit hole and up is down, hot is cold, left is right, EVERYTHING IS BACKWARDS. America Baby, Freedom - NOT!

  • Roosevelt was a great president, (if u overlook the japanese internment camps).

    america needs a new New Deal.

  • Wells Fargo and Wachovia can launder $386 billion dollars, supply the planes for the cocaine and get caught, no one goes to jail.Corzine steals $1.2 billion,maybe more,no one goes to jail.Holder has lied to to congress about many things and caught doing it, especially with "fast and furious" , no one goes to jail. You owe a couple thousand on a credit card or a repo, and its off to jail for you.Funny how they call it a "justice system".For who? Not the real thieves.Peace.

  • actually after watching I regretted having had heard the audio after actually hearing it. 

  • This is disgraceful... anybody that uses our criminal justice system to go after people for private debt, should be prosecuted themselves. They have lost their membership card to the human race.

  • @PowerForGood this has been going on since the end of the civil war. Read up on the sharecropping system in the south after the civil war and you'll get a better understanding of what is coming next

  • Just remember the prison service is a privately owned corporation run for profit.

    /watch?v=5h2WmDYvAFg

  • @DJCW BOB BARKER! got prison stock?

  • hmm cute girl :)

  • and if I go ahead and ship the items that my card's been charged for back then I have no guarantee that I will receive a refund and just be out the money with no merchandise. I returned a budget rental truck before the deadline, but the office was closed and they charged my card over by $200, but I didn't find it in time to dispute it with the company.

  • I have more useless junk that's sitting around my house UNUSED because I fell for some stupid informercial in attempting to make life easier...and all it's done is make life a whole lot more challenging by not being able to use it like it was presented (false advertising) and not being able to return it if I'm a few days over THEIR limit. How can I have a bill dated BEFORE my deadline and yet not be able to return the items and cancel future shipments?

  • Nor is it fair to have to abide by THEIR specific days for a return. I haven't USED the product that many days so if I find that after 2 attempts at what they claim their product will do for me, I should be able to return such product if the item has no wear and receive a full refund whether it's 30 or 45 days. If I didn't even OPEN a package to subscribe to something in the first place, why should I be responsible for paying & why should I foot the return shipping?

  • I believe in managing our financial house, however, when a credit card company charges a fee claiming that it's because you're payment is late and your payment that you programmed to be paid automatically via internet is set at $50 and your payment was supposed to be $51, so you have a late payment fee which then may take you up OVER your limit as well as bumping you up to the maximum interest rate, then an impossible situation is created and it's simply not ok.

  • um...um...ummm...um

  • Examples please. People are not (generally) stupid enough to take things on faith alone.

  • Bankers stole billions, and they put someone into jail for having debt around of around $2,000 dollars.

    Proof who runs America, and it's not the people.

  • @aeternusero

    AMEN

  • well banks cant give loans that is fraud as they dont have money to loan its actually part of the federal reserve policy, also HJR 192 1935 states that you cannot pay a debt with a didnt you all need to read the uniform commercial code. the banks should be jailed for frauding us and there is a reason for the bad economy thank you federal reserve... ITS NOT A CREDIT CARD ITS A "DEBT" CARD , and the people in the jails and prisons they d make money there is a bond in the stock market FEMA CAMPS

  • blaming the victim ...I believe in accountability in a free market...but the international banksters have corrupted the system again and control it to their tyranny and it is apparent....Why do you think the founders eliminated debtors prisons and bills of attainder....The war has always been against the money changers.

  • Throw the gov in prison then lol

  • @NWONoWorldOrderNWO yea! The gov. WalStreet! The Fed and then worry about our 2 cents

  • now at the same time can't you argue that my tits look absolutely stunning in this orange dress and i look like the peurto rican version of courtney cox and oh god i just want your dick in my mouth

  • there is no money. see HJR 192. since there is no money there is no debt. the banks can not show evidence of a loan. We owe them nothing because they loaned us nothing. Ask the banks for proof of loss. For evidence of a loan. they can not provide it.

  • "...Dodd Frank Act went a long way towards (that) reform..." Seriously- I mean how so? That was a spoon fed statement meant directly for public regurgitation (or citizen education as I term it).

    Remember everyone - you hear it here first -

    "Critical Thinking is YOUR obligation, and not your right."

  • Neither one of these women have explained HOW people end up in jail due to unpaid debt.

  • I love redheads!

  • Read the fu@@@ fair debt collection act.this bi@@@ is lying, there are no soccer moms being arrested, it's probably poor minorities.

  • you people are out of your f@##$ mind! you're talking like this is normal, it is it not legal. debt is a civil problem, not a criminal problem.

  • So does this mean we can throw folks like Ben Bernanke, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney in prison for life, on account of the massive debt in money and legitimacy they accrued at our expense, right? If so, I'm all for this. If not...well, we've been long overdue for a general tarring and feathering of reprobates anyways...

  • So the U.S. Government can rack up a 26 Trilllion Dollar debt and not a single one of the bastards in the phony, criminal Federal Reserve goes to jail, but if Bob down the street owes a few thousand dollars on a bill he can't pay anymore because he lost his job due to it being sent overseas, Bob goes to jail? FUCK YOU U.S. GOVERNMENT! FUCK YOU BANKSTERS! FUCK YOU ROTHSCHILD FAMILY! FUCK YOU ROCKEFELLER FAMILY! FUCK YOU BUSH FAMILY! AND FUCK YOU WHITE HOUSE!

  • @AllPro777 Soon, my friend... soon.

    I'm an upper middle class professional, late 30's. I'm arrogant, and the truth can swim right in front of my face without me recognizing it...

    But when the truth started swimming by every day... every time I turned on the TV, radio, internet, or opened a newspaper...

    When that happened, it broke me and all my comfortable facades. I am awake. Most of those I speak with are, as well.

    Critical mass... soon...

  • @AllPro777 You took the words right outta my mouth.

  • @AllPro777 PREACH ON MY BROTHA. SOOO TRUE. I HATE THESE FUCKING HYPERCRITICAL FUCKS. 

  • @MRTEL7777 then this video is perfect for you! watch?v=30-d2G3vrpE

  • @AllPro777 It never ends lol watch?v=30-d2G3vrpE

  • @AllPro777 Fuck Yeah

    

  • how can you allow people to be coerced by the advertisers and told they need to feed the mythical beast which is "the economy" and then throw them in jail when they've fed it too much. when will the day come when people realise that this is all just a big game, they have the money, they make the rules...were all fucked until we refuse to play.

  • @michaelleyland "We're all fucked until we refuse to play." Well said.

  • The RT reporter is posing a stupid question, actually reprehensible. Look at all the BANK BAILOUTS gimme a break are you serious as a journalist? These women are misguided fools who need reality checks.

  • @richmanpoman1 I don't find that to be a bad thing. I consistently find RT reporters trying to question from an opposing viewpoint... a technique which has historically produced great interviews. The problem is that the opposing viewpoint is sometimes absurd.

  • @ParrhesiaJoe Well, I agree if you are referring to Platonic/Socratic rhetoric, however, these reporters have shown their allegiance to ideas that appeal or repel them in many reports, in this case they seem to be "advocating" an absurd notion. That to me shows them condoning rather than condemning the illegal actions of these criminal bankers and creditors. Why aren't their Banker/Lender/Creditor prisions?

  • @richmanpoman1 I would prefer to seperate Plato and Socrates in this light. Socrates had a method of dialogue that relied heavily on parrhesia. Plato was the a master Rhetoritician.

    Plato mostly told people what he thought. Socrates made people hang themselves verbally.

    I LOVE Socrates, I like Aristotle, and I wish Plato would be forgotten.

    That said, the interviewer OPENED with a scathing critique of debtor prison. When the guest appeared, she took an adversarial position.

  • "they need to be punished for being fraudulent"

    the punishment for being fraudulent is a bad credit rating.You can't borrow anymore with a bad credit rating.THese people are sick.

  • Ive been told that the Federal Reserve Bank is our Government. They are the ones who actually run the country. Not the Present or anyone else. Not sure if its true but it makes sense I guess,

  • show me a case where someone has gone to prison for only debt. i'm calling b.s. until I see proof...not that i wouldn't believe it, but this story has no foundation. none the less, a violation of a "contract" doesn't present jail time. if this were true, i have at least 10 people i could throw the book at who owe me money...the i.r.s. is one thing, private debt is another.

  • Kind of odd that Bryce couldn't give real examples of people being thrown in jail (eg. give actual court casess or people's names, etc.) . If you notice it was very vague statements.

  • that is because the banks own the money and the government. people need to understand that government is corporate per the "CLEARFIELD DOCTRINE"! Read it and sue them

  • Also, why is the host so delicious?

  • credit cards should be outlawed

  • @SirsRose

    fuck yea they should be

  • LOL..There's a reason we got to this point...Ya it's called you're I.D. is all Fake

  • Comment removed

  • This is what happens when people who don't care about their credit score and think they have nothing to lose when they are spending money they don't have via credit cards. There should be accountability for those who abuse the credit system. Jail time in my opinion is a waste of time and tax payer money. The state government, not the federal government; should implement community service sentences to people who cannot pay their debt. That seems fair to have them work it off.

  • We're all to blame! but if the indebted go to jail while the debtors get filthy rich wheres the justice?now you want to prosecute the consumer in a rotted consumer economy? TREACHERY! it always takes two to tango. FORGIVENESS is the key. all around. international FORGIVENESS.

  • I call bullshit on this story.

  • The bankers should get life for putting the whole country in debt.

  • How about consequences for the damn banking thieving scumbags like Corzine man this pisses me off!!!

  • why do these two people look like little girls to me? neither look like they should be on tv talking about anything of importance..they need to be out clubbing or something..

  • If prison is the answer to those who did not live within their means. What of those who made it possible? How can you justify punishing only half of those to blame?

  • Comment removed

  • let all go to jail, see if they got any room for us, hey free food and rent why not i don't care . don't pay your loan , they just wanna scare u

  • @rickytan6969 Welcome to the private prison system where prisons make money on how many prisoners they hold. This will not work well for you.

  • @SuperHappyCow True. You also need enough tax money to perpetuate the system. Cost are around $50 billion a year and the balance beam can only go so far;)...

  • @rickytan6969 I know sarcasm when i hear it, but FEMA might already have that in mind.

  • @rickytan6969 There is a million man FEMA camp if you were not aware of that

  • @rickytan6969 Free food, free rent, and free diseased violent criminal cock in your rear end while you sleep. Any one? No thanks, not for me.

  • @rickytan6969 why not? cuz i won't live in a box for any man. because when they run out of room is when they fill the body bags

  • @rickytan6969 the only problem with this is that the biggest debtors are our banks and NONE NOT ONE - has gone to jail or even been charged with anything - it's awful hard to be responsible when all your money has been stolen - and they are stealing it from us every minute....

  • @freedom1234573 And they want to steal more please view watch?v=30-d2G3vrpE

  • RT is no different than any other MSM. They work for the elites. Propaganda and dogma without ever discussing what the root of the problem is. Makes me sick to my stomach.

  • I wanna kick this redhead in the teeth. Looks like she's saying this at gun point!

  • BAIL THEM OUT THE WAY THEY"VE BAILED OUT THE CORPORATE SCUM THAT TOOK BBBBBB BILLIONS FROM US!!!!!!!!!

  • @willywillyization wrong letter... the banks took TTT T TTTRILLIONS from the US people

  • The growing number of private prisons who's bottom line is full occupancy will lobby for tougher laws and longer prison time for trivial offenses. We have Wall street to thank for this as well..

  • @Larkinchance and the vatican and the queen!

  • BRICE sucks DICK!

  • paleo diet is awesome!!

  • put your tits away and shut up bitch --

  • Whoever the uber-intelligent one was that pooh-pooh'ed the Mason rip -Hey, pal.....What do you think the ground-level to the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Com., CFR, etc., is? It's not about casting stones at one another. Because I guarantee that you are NOT one of them, and that you are just as expendable as any of the rest of us. Keeping division among us IS THEIR GOAL! Wake UP!

  • Sorry sweetheart but your talking bullshit. Focus on the banksta thieves of Wall Street.

  • @JanRichardus yep

  • @JanRichardus Believe it or not Wall Street would love to see the small guy get thrown in jail for the debt, its a way to earn money at the tax payers expense! Credit doesn't mean shit, I was told by a wal-mart employee that if I didn't have a credit card and didn't sign up for one that I could no longer shop at Wal-mart. Yes that is what I was told, I told them to go back to their job and fuck off, their just jealous because I pay for my stuff with cash!

  • @TheAngryAmericanwon When intimidated always call their bluff and/or tell them (like you did) to "fuck off". Live long

  • @JanRichardus and? its true! Like college; before it was all about the Universities, and colleges teaching. Now these Universities, and colleges like to earn that profit. The just keep raising tuition, up and up and up and up! I say screw sallie Mae in the ass, and don't pay!

  • Comment removed

  • This law applies to peasants only.

  • Throwing us in jail was never supposed to be to make us be able to pay! It is so they create jobs for "their kind," meaning the Police Class all the way up to the private prison owners who get MONEY (NOT SUBSIDIES) from the feds for each inmate in a bed. FUCK AMERICA! THIS is NOT the Country I pledged allegiance to.
