  • Go NEWT! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The problem with America is that people base their opinions off of sound bites from the corrupt media and their feelings, without bothering to research for themselves. That's why Obama is getting all this shit.

  • LOL...this is the man, who today, at a speech at some church, stated that he believes America will soon become a secular, atheist nation dominated by radical Islamists.

    How does he think Islam will come to dominate in a secular, atheistic society!

    This man is sounding as idiotic as Sarah the pin-head Palin. I don't care if you vote a republican into office, just get one in who is rational and intelligent. I'll give him this much though, he's dead on about us becoming more atheistic which is good

  • im sorry but this guy is a fucking idiot and yes i am left winged

  • Newt..,,,,,,,You have my vote. 

  • @TREWLYKEWL Why would you vote for this jerk?

  • @86THECRITIC Why wouldn't you!? The guy has a PhD in History. He is SPOT ON in everything. Well, besides things the libs love.

  • @RREDDELL History does not make you a leader. Do you know what he does?

  • politics is for people who fail to understand how things really work on this little blue rock.

  • that was the best 2 mins ive had in a while

  • Republicans are hanging from the US Chamber of Commerce's Nut Sack! Tom Donohue is calling you Newt, You best answer ASAP, He said to make sure you vote against the Anti Sourcing Bill, and to make sure you continue giving tax breaks to companies that out source American jobs! You don't want to upset your pimp now do you Newt???

  • Hey Newt, you want to extend tax cuts that will blow a $3 Trillion hole in our deficit How can we afford these cuts Newt?

  • Republicans and Democrats should leave government and become "entrepreneurs." Ronald Reagan was right when he said that "Government is the problem." Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Americans should not fawn over government officials like Obama, Reagan, Palin, McCain, Bush.

    Americans are the problem, too.

    Me and my satanic frat buddies are going to dig up the skull of Ronald Reagan after dropping some Ecstasy made in Israel. God Bless America.

  • @jesuschrustpizza Ohh government I love you! Ohh save us! SAVE US! Ohh, I love my banker masters! OHHHH...*grovels* Ohh god, I love it. double speaks.....I hate the government, ohh but I love them and my fluoride. Ohh, I'm on a power trip...ohhh I love americans and their McDonalds diets.OHHH SAVE US, BANKERS!!!

  • Lets impeach obamas whole administration

  • idiot is the best word to tell whats Newt is all about just a racist fool full of shit

  • @sillycandie007 Newt is a racist fool full of shit? Wow. You got all that from this speech? Amazing. I completely missed that. I mean, I just don't see how "go into business to create wealth" is racist. I think you ought to look for Jimmy Hoffa.

  • What's wrong with Obama's Leftist View he doesn't have one.

  • Newt is a corporate nigger!

  • The political system in the USA is not only corrupt its down right stupid and ignorant. Members of the Senate and Congress now suck up to OBAMA, because they are getting rich. They do not represent the wish of the people nor do they care any more. Obama is the new demigod who will save all the poor and the stupid. Obama is the predicted antichrist a Muslim born in Indonesia and hiding out USA under the power of protecting his identity. The day is coming you will see he is not even an American

  • Obama... where are the keys to my hummer

  • fukk right and left theres no point in fighting each other

  • Here is the problem with this: the policies the right proposes would not lead to more low-income entreprenuers. Investment in these kids, through education, urban development, community programs and the like are things Republicans denounce as Bureacracy. Its hard to run a business when you're uneducated and live in a slum. If we helped these kids live in safe, clean environments and funded their schools, they would be able to compete for jobs and start businesses.

  • Ugh you're an idiot. You lack a fundamental understanding of history.  The Democrats like Barney Frank pressured Freddie and Fannie to give our high risk loans which started the process that led to the current economic downturn.

    Yes Wall Street ran with it, but it was the Democrats who started the ball rolling.

  • @AidenPryde3025 Stop listening to Rush Limbaugh you idiot, Republicans controlled BOTH The House and The Senate between 1993-2007 AND They controlled the White House between 2000-2008, they could have passed ANY piece of legislation they wanted. And instead we have Historic unemployment, and 2 lousy wars to show for it. So Don't give me that crap that it was Barney Frank all By himself along with Bill Clinton who caused a near Global Financial Meltdown! LOL! Barney Frank LMFAO!!!

  • @AidenPryde3025 Ironically you are right, but it was Regan who was the first president to have someone from wall street as his secretary of treasurer. he got the ball rolling. now big bussiness and the banks run our governement. not the democrats or republicans. obama is like dick clark after he had his stroke. yeah hes there talking, but someone is running the strings for the puppet

  • Comment removed

  • Right on! coulie27.

  • Let he who hath never sinned cast the first stone.

  • Now you know why no body can stop Gaza killing until Israel stop it which is a clear racism against some ethnic group done by Israel, because major power in EU and USA Govt. support Gaza killing and Israeli Genocide.

  • Newt 4 Prez

  • obama is a puppet he is told what to do by the democrats to do what they want him to do

  • No you did not just copy and past, you twisted the words.

    HOW DOES "LAW AND ORDER" IN YOUR MIND NOT INCLUDE PROSECUTION FOR CORPORATE THEFT??????

    Which is exactly what you are talking about with this bank CEO stuff.

    When I quote the Constitution referring to providing security for its people, that is only pertaining to law enforcement and the military, not some beaurocratic government agency tasked with overseeing private business, that is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

    .

  • Ever heard of "No free lunch?"

    Well, there is also no free Market either. This guy thinks in a vacuum. A true free market would be one without laws or rights, and killing, raping, and torturing would become acceptable. Might as well be back in the middle ages, when kings ruled their own private estates and 95% of the people lived to work solely for their king.

  • Hey there's a little piece of literature that explains how government and a free market system can exist together, its called the CONSTITUTION.

  • Government and free market systems, sounds a lot like socialism. The Constitution holds some of the basic guidelines for security, and much of the literature leaves open potentials for many different types governing. Take a look at history, and see how many different types of governments have ran the nation. You could justify just about anything using the constitution.

  • What you just said is the opposite of what free market means. Free market means "free" of government intervention and control.

    Socialism means the government controls all sectors of business, look in the dictionary next time.

    There doesn't need to be "regulating". the govternments only job according to the constitution is to provide law and order, and to protect its citizens.

  • Like I said before, there is no free market, except in theory. And no, Socialism does not mean total government control. I think you have communism mixed up with socialism. Look it up yourself. You're right, the gov't's job is to provide law and order, but that means more than just keeping people from killing each other. How about the theft of 401K plans? How about the ponzi schemes scandals? There are so many ways security can be compromised. I disagree with you on the last statement.

  • How in your mind does theft and ripping people off in scandals not constitute as being under the premise of "law and order"???

    And look up the word socialism in a dictionary. Its somewhere between all the words starting with Rs and Ts.

  • Nobody was watching the credit industry, hence no gov't oversight, which plays a powerful role in this economic recession. "There doesn't need to be "regulating". the govternments only job according to the constitution is to provide law and order, and to protect its citizens." You say you want security, but then you say the gov't shouldn't regulate. Contradiction in this arguement?

  • No there is not a contradiction, you have twisted the words to make a stupid point.

    "security" has nothing to do with economics, it has to do with our judicial system, law enforcement, and our military which protects our citizens from enemies both foreign and domestic.

    And what the credit industry did was bad business, and they did it because the Clinton administratio ORDERED them to give out subprime loans so that poor people could have better homes, ie govt invovment in business.

  • What's the point of economics, if their is no security? Clinton has been out of power for over 8 years.

    So taking money from others is not a crime? Why should people invest in anything, if it's going to disappear? Most people put money in banks because it's FDIC insured(safe), meaning it won't be taken by a Bank CEO. I wasn't playing around with the words, and by the way, those were your words. I just copy and pasted the discrepancy in the arguement.

  • Was it not Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Maxine Waters and the other gov morons claiming Fannie and Freddie Mac WERE PERFORMING AS DESIRED? Oversight by the party of slavery, the party of jim crow, the party of moral and political corruption? How far back do you want to go? However far back you go, democrats have been and always will be on the wrong side of history. Skools don't teach history, this is what you get. An empty skirt from Kenya.

  • "Always will be on the wrong side" So what you're saying is that the democratic party is the same democratic party from the 50's and 60's. I hope you don't make this sort of arguement in a legitimate setting, since parties change from administration to administration and the funny thing is that the republicans hold nearly all the old confederacy states. I don't think you can make that sort of arguement and make sense.

  • Progressive will solidify and give control of this government back to the people where it belongs.

    ---

    Yes, because putting the govt in control of your healthcare, your employment, your education and 80% of your pay + doubling or tripling the cost of all forms of energy is really giving power to the people.

    ^^^

    this is probably the first time since Bush's 2000 run I've heard Repubs mention small business owners in anything.

    ---

    Obama mentions them every time he says "tax increase"

  • the plain truth,the free market is not free anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The free marked made harikiri....

  • No, the free market was suffocated.

  • Yes, the free market is theoretical and in reality, even the most capitalistic society cannot have a free market. That was my point. If there was a totally free market, there would be little to no regulation on anything, and that includes typical laws and rights.

  • great idea buddy now only if your party actually believed this you'd have the support of every minority organization. But, this is probably the first time since Bush's 2000 run I've heard Repubs mention small business owners in anything.

  • Generally most asians succeed in a capatalist system because they value

    education, hard work, and thrift.

  • The liberal left finally got a Black man elected President, but the election was not about race.

    The left wants a better life for everyone...but we need programs to support minorities.

    The left wants to have all of us be equal, but women need the Ledbetter fair pay act.

    Now back to reality..

    The left is using legislation to buy votes to accumulate power. Nothing more.

  • Good points.

  • Newts right.The answer is hard work. People think that fancy programs and handouts make wealth,they dont,and like Newt said the course of history has proved otherwise.I work with a Mexican who moved here 3 years ago and while he cant speak well, he told me the only reason to be poor in the US is because youre lazy.He worked and worked in Mexico with no success,but America is special because hard work is rewarded.Hes only been here a few years but HE understands what America is about.

  • National Burn Your Bible Day December 25th 2012

  • that is bullshit. I don't care if this sounds nazi-like but some people are just better/more intelligent/more talented etc. than others. Not everybody is going to be a donald trump and we also don't want that. We want people who collect your garbage, who clean your house or who provide your food. These people don't have the responsibility like a docter or a airliner pilot but they earn a little respect from us. Why do you look down on these people? you couldn't live a normal day without them.

  • I agree some people are smarter than others, but why should the dumb/lazy/untalented, etc. be rewarded for being less productive than the ones who produce wealth. If I work as a software designer for Microsoft, I expect to be paid for what I produce, I expect Steve Ballmer to sign my paycheck, but I do not expect Bill Gates to give away his fortune to finance a better lifestyle for a second generation welfare mom.

  • And yet, that's what Obama wants is to "Spread the Wealth" . His stimulus plan is going to be a disaster once it reaches the soiled dais of Capitol Hill. And I trust Congress will make the right choice. "Government is not the answer to the problem, government is the problem" -RR

  • Government is indeed the problem. That is why the opposite of Pro-gress has often been Con-gress. I write my congress critters every day to remind them to vote against Reid, Pelosi, and Obama.

    In the Congress Ried and Pelosi don't want "bipartisanship", they want Republicans as scapegoats for when their socialist policies fail and the economy fall farther down the toilet

  • Absolutely Geographer76. I like you.

  • newt is right here, and republicans tend to be correct when it comes to economics. people call the Republicans racist but there's nothing racist about saying that every ethnic group has the potential to make money and be successful. the leftist media won't even discuss their view on economics, because it is fundamentally flawed.

  • Leftism is about Power, not Ideas.

  • gingrich 2012

  • Boy seb538835 that is a profound thought. You must be a economics major huh?

  • the more businesses there are, the more failed businesses there are. profit means that someone has to lose out so that someone can make monet OUT OF the other person's loss. Why doesn't the government tax massive corporations for their profits?

  • lol, coming from a real commie lol

  • Are you on crack?

  • What you haven't realized yet is that America's population is growing. More goods and services are needed. Additionally, more markets are opening up around the world. Finally, there is real growth in the GDP practically every year. Economics is not a zero-sum game.

  • So in order to promote entrepenuerial ideals you increase taxes by about 15% and that money gets sucked up into the federal government and HOPEFULLY gets distributed fairly so that the family will most likely spend it on things other than education?

  • First off pwells, I was on welfare and know the system quite well. Thats why I have a problem with it. And you must live in a hole if you think all republicans are white. Not to mention all of the civil rights acts are from the republican party, not to mention the republican party was the first to have minorities and women. You've just been blinded and you obviously never paid attention in history class.

  • If you are stuck in the projects, and have been for several generations, and your education system SUCKS and there are gangs and violence and bad teachers at your school, THEN HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU GO ON TO BECOME AN ENTREPENEUR.

    Notice how everyone who is Republican is white and was born in middle or upper class.

  • what horse shit! Your comment is just a "little" absurd don't you think?

  • If you take my comment as an absolute, yes its absurd, but not more absurd than Newt's comments here.

    If you look at percentages, I'm far more right than Newt.

  • I don't think you get what he is saying. I guess you feel people being held down by democrats and living in the projects for 3 and 4 generations is ok. The democrats have poor people exactly where they want them and will never inspire them to get out of the hole they are in because thats how they get your votes.

  • Let see. If you are poor, and you work at a job making $7 an hour, you can't afford rent, food or an education. Everyone knows most businesses go under in their first year. So Newt thinks poor people, who can barely feed themselves, need to start their own business. A new business in an economy where Newt's government tips the scales toward corporations and the rich. I have an idea. Let get people like Newt out of our government, then maybe it will work.

  • Prove it. Prove that "most" businesses go under thier first year. Poor people can barely feed themselves? Bull shit. low income wage earners, in large part, are over weight as it is.

  • It is more like 50% within the first five years. But as far as people being overweight: 1. Lack of education or of adhereing to educational principles regarding healthy diet. 2. The plethora of quick and/or relatively inexpensive food choices that are packed with fat and calories. 3. A society that, rather than eat veggies, vegges out in front of computers, cable tv, and video games. 4. Low motivation due to family, economic, or psychosocial issues that consistently reinforce themselves.

  • Ever heard of Scandinavia, Newt, ever wonder about their contentment rates?

  • all the corners have already been taken for car window cleaning NEWT what should we do?

  • You can't decide that everyone's situation puts them in a position to create a business and great wealth.

  • This is a good video. I'm libertarian, but voting for Obama. The reason is because the Republican party has been hijacked by ruthless capitalists. Newt is right, but the Republican party leadership these days uses patriotism to trick people into giving things up. We get a devaluing of our currency and socialized wars, tax breaks, and bank bailouts- a transfer of wealth to the rich under the guise of patriotism. I'm all for capitalism, but not ruthless capitalism. That's not patriotic.

  • "Libertarians for Obama"?  hahahahahaha!

    Nice "concern troll" post.

  • No real Libertarian would vote for Obama. You should be voting for Bob Barr or Chuck Baldwin.

  • It's funny how this comes up #2 when you search youtube "leftist video".

  • since i have become conservative I used excuses. now, I would be a hypocrite b/c I don't believe in handouts and I believe in personal responsibility. Any time I don't achieve what I want.. I now place the blame squarely on myself.

  • The only reason that people from all around the world can come to our country and make something of them self is the to the so called left!

  • Are we going to buy watered cereal and pork&beans to such a degree that he lifts himself and family out? Is he going to sell us maps of the world where the countries are placed where he THINKS they may be? I don't think there are enough ways for a person in such a situation to make it in our economy. In Haiti the guy could probably get a fishing net and do OK ...here?

  • what is some uneducated american in poverty going to sell? Mexican, jamaican, asian, african immigrants can sell their culture to us americans. Is little Johnny going to sell us his culture?

  • Use your brain. You can sell a service, such as house painting, wood working, lawn mowing, pool cleaning. Working hard and making responsible decisions can make the business grow. Stop swallowing what ever liberals throw at you.

  • Thanks, scotteames1984, for your comment. It's the first one I saw that made good sense. Sometimes it seems like people have forgotten what hard work is. I live in a small town in middle-America and the majority of our success stories come from people who market themselves in just those same kinds of businesses. People are always going to be in need of honest, hardworking individuals. We do need to teach the skills of entrepreneurship and quit relying on government handouts. -- Thanks

  • Also sunfsand, go watch some of his stuff on edcuation.

  • Their tactics work most effectively on the extremely ignorant, loudest mouth morons with little if any education. They are so proud of their skin color and their brand of religion, that they are willing to sacrifice anything, be easily used and controlled and manipulated. They vote rich, but live poor...

    (Problem is, they take us under the wheels of the bus with them...)

  • Stoptripn, please recall that not all businesses require large start-up capital. A person with a truck and a lawnmower can be a lawn maintenance business, for example. The "microcredit" lending experiments in Mexico provide evidence that loan amounts as small as $250 can provide start-up capital necessary for an income-producing enterprise.

  • Most of these "poor" people he is talking about never had the opportunity to attend college, don't own any property, are already in debt, and couldn't possibly go into a business with a SBA loan unless they wouldn't have to start repaying it foe several years.

    It's easy to talk when you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth.

  • Amen, stoptripn. What he's saying is great, but he's naive as hell if he thinks its as simple as he makes it sound.

  • Did you know most entrepreneurs didnt attend college. Its about having a dream and working towards a goal. Its not about a silver spoon its about having the desire to better yourself.

  • Ah yes, so if were born into money and talk sense, then its worthless because you were born into money? So a person doesn't deserve to have his words responded to based on the merit of those words if they were born into any kind of money?

    He was a child of a career military family. What silver spoon are you talking about exactly?

  • Don't you see, there is no difference between the left and right. They all want money and power. Debating McCain or Obama is a waste of time and a disgrace to American intellect. I don't know who the best man or woman for the job is, but I know we're not being presented with anyone that even comes close. Clinton sucked as much as Bush, Clinton was just "smoother." They are all warmongering murderers. And how is Newt still out there, didn't that sex scandal ruin him? BAAA BAA BAAA

  • Do you know how expensive it is to set up your own business these days? You can't create something from nothing. Stock, supplies, licensing, insurance...and a thousand things more need to be paid for. They can't be at a minimum wage salary. So how are the poor to start all these wealth-inducing businesses?

  • Wow, you mean it's hard???? Forget it then. Best to not even bother.

  • They can't with all the regulation Dems/Reps have enabled.

    If you want to see how it works, ask older people. It hasn't always been this hard to start a business.

  • If you actually want to know, simply ask the MILLIONS that have done it. Stop trying to build a case for your own failure. If you say you can't do it, you right.

  • Actually with the start of eBay, it's cheaper than ever to start a business. You dont have to have warehouses and complicated supply chains to reach the larges global market in the world.

    Even if you wanted to go the traditional rout, there are MILLIONS of dollars in SBA loans and even MILLIONS more for those who are a minority... meaning they have a better opportunity to grow a successful company. Underfunding is the number one cause of small businesses failing.

  • Its too harrrrrd! Go start a dog walking businesss. Get a 2nd job. Save money by not wasting it on luxuries. Build your credit. For Gods sakes, quite whining and get out there and do something.

  • Ask yourself the question...are you better off TODAY than you were 1015 years ago? For a group that is supposed to believe in "less government," the Republicans have been putting in more and more laws and been taking away more and more freedoms than ever. Be Serious.

  • That's no reason to vote for those who make no arguement that they won't increase the size of government.

    And no, I'm not voting for McCain specifically for the reasons you list.

    Bob Barr gets my vote.

  • please name some freedoms you have lost, and how those loses have affected you personally. And yes, I could make a compelling and thorough argument of how we ar better off then we were over 1000 years ago.

  • There comes a time when we must triage the American people. There are some that get it, some that don't, and there are a handful out there who want to learn.

    What Newt has been involved in throughout the last several years with American Solutions is absolutely oustanding. Those of you who get it, please share the videos with those who are willing to learn.

    Those of you, "that don't get it": I simply pray your fog of ignorance be lifted before you multiply and ruin this country.

  • Newt is so right. I wish he was running for President

  • me 2, he may not be popular, but he is solutions oriented.

  • craigdavid00 --- idiot

  • newt ownz good job man get them leftist freaks

  • Jerez -- Your wrong the Democrats have had control of congress for the last 4 years -- don't forget that!! They have accompished zero. But made huge promises.

  • JerezJulio - your kind has it's head is firmly jammed up your collective butts.

    "Reps want the Gov destroyed"? Where do you idiots get this crap? And what's even a bigger question is how can you for even a second believe it?

    If the Gov would simply follow the Constitution there would be NO problem - PERIOD.

    Power to the Sheeple!

  • "If the Gov would simply follow the Constitution there would be NO problem - PERIOD." YES!!! But there's no money to be made in that.

  • WELL STATED NEWT !!

    U DA MAN !!

  • This point is well made in the movie: "The Pursuit Of Happiness", the main character is in really bad shape, so what does he do? Go on welfare? No, he takes the greatest challenge he can find and works hard, studies and succeeds in obtaining a much better life for himself and his young son. Had he taken the "easy" way and take government handouts, he would have condemned himself to lifelong poverty.

  • OMG this is so frustrating that Newt did not run! Now all we have is Mccain....

  • so true. now that i've watched these videos, i really wish that newt would have run. his thoughts are pretty good, unlike those common in the mainstream media.

  • How I wish Newt were the Republican Candidate. I am reading his Book(s) and he makes more sense than ANYONE I have read so far. Sensible, logical REAL solutions to issues that face us today. Not platitudes, promises that will never work let alone come to fruition... REAL sense. REAL solutions. Just read - and learn... and then act accordingly. Gingrich makes sense... Period.

  • This is why I vote republican. Liberals are nice people that mean well but their policies create dependancy by creating a govt that is suppose to provide every little thing possible.

  • I second the motion.

  • O you mean the stagnation created by his super high tax policies and the fund shifting that made it seem like he was fixing the debt problem. O how about his horridly failed nation building/policing attempts in Kosovo, Bosnia, and Somalia. How about his illegal dealings with China for profit? How about the Iraq Resolution Act of 98 which Clinton signed and Bush carried out for him? He and bush are the same just different wrapping.

  • and do not forget that getting a Blow Job was not having sex

  • NObama 2008!

  • I live in Baltimore, I have never heard something like that before. hummmmm I will have to think about that.

  • Is it just me or should HE be president ?

  • He's too smart to be President.

  • i know... and its sad that we have created a country where the best possible people have no desire whatsoever to run this country. now all anyone needs is a great PR person. bullshit.

  • It is not just you. Sadly the Republican party is no longer the "Conservative" party. I had to leave them to wallow in their own foolishness.

  • I second the motion!

  • What chance does a person like me have of making it? If i had to detach myself from me and pretend i'm speaking of someone else, i'd say NONE. I'll tell you what did happen to me; I continued to go to junior high school pregnant (kids making fun of me, etc.), gave birth to a beautiful girl the summer of 1997, started high school in the fall of that same year. I took my dauhgter to HS everyday thanks to a daycare within the same school. I was an ESL (English as a Second Language) student.

  • We have to start with the children. Mr. Faulkner said it best, It is easier to raise stong children than to repair broken men. We are in alot more trouble. Government has failed our cities. Welfare encourages men to leave the home, which has made it cool to leave. School that are completed broke are allowed to stay broken where in a free market they would be out of business, replaced with better ones. In Baltimore, MD 58million is missing from the schools and noone cares.

  • I graduated from HS as the top student in biology, chemistry and art, received the highest score in the english and chemistry state exams in my entire school, was the only student who passed the biology state exam (i'm referring to the regence exams).

  • I recently graduated from college with a BA in psychology, i also did pre-med. Right now i'm working as a neuroscience research lab tech at Columbia university. In the near future i will apply for PhD programs in neuroscience in nyc's top schools. I am will living in the "ghetto."

  • I realized that not everyone has it in them naturally, no everyone finds interest in education and pursuing a better future. It takes a lot more than pointing and saying "shame on you" to make someone want something.

    All i'm saying is that it's not THIS simple.

  • Me too!

  • The reasons I really like Newt Gingrich are, just like Dennis Prager, he demonstrates (proves) that the myths (lies, progapanda) Liberals spread about Conservatives are just that. Conservatives are not hateful, racist, elitist, rich White people who want to keep minorities down & stifle our freedom. We are the opposite. Peace & freedom are good for all of us, becoming a success is good for the country, and people aren't their color but rather their character. Marxists - throw off your chains!

  • Conservatives are for the most part individualists which means that they don't group people like collectivists(liberals) do.

    look up individualism vs. collectivism on here.

  • Storm me baby;;;

    Social security pension is not a "paycheck" ..

    it is a "retirement pension"

    Dont confuse those. Government paychecks are issued to people that "work" .

    Social Security checks are issued to people that are "retired".

    By the way your employers pay for your social security tax. Not you. If you did not work for "YOUR BOSS" you would not have a penny to retired. YOur boss can be a private person, private company or "the GOVERNMENT" ( LIKE A FIREFIGHTER, OR A NAVY SEAL)

  • Sorry, but you do pay for your social security. Its called FICA and Medicare on your paystub. And it is deducted from your gross pay. Your employer matches your contrubution.

  • The truth is that government jobs pay in many instances better than private sector jobs. It has a really good retirement and health insurance when comparing with most private sector business. In general.

    So being a politician... can make you wealthy, and indeed most of politicians are very wealthy, have you paid attention to the news about the clinton's tax returns? mcCain? even Obama.

    So don be stuburn like Gingrich and dont have a "tantrum" like McCAini

  • Storm...and Crazy...

    you dont get the point. maybe you never had to pay payroll and overhead. It means you dont get rich just by owning s business. You may have more personal freedom but it does not automatically equal personal wealth.

    My point when receiving a steady paycheck ( from any company you work for or from any institutiion you may work for) IT IS A STEADY PAYCHECK dont be an idiot.

    Then you have more choices to use that money or have extra curricular side ventures if you want.

  • Newt is right! Everyone, get a job!

  • I have worked from the age of 15. I have instilled in me, a solid work ethic from my father. I paid my own way through college. And got a job in my field of television production. I have been with that company for 4 years now. I have been promoted 3 times. I make 25k/yr. before taxes. I can barely survive on that. But, the large Media corporation I work for has gained in profits for the past 3 years. They, like a majority of corporations, shut the faucet off at the top.

  • It makes sense, encourage growth, prosperity, a real sense of entrepreneurship and see success for the future. Government should not be about a hand out, but a hand up where it is sincerely needed.

  • This is the same Trickle Down economics horse manure from the past. It was a good idea on paper, but the republicans did not see the human factor in all of this. Greed! You give the tax breaks to CEO's and they in turn invest back into the company and it's employees, right? No, the CEO's got another Bentley in their driveway and the father of three making 30k/yr. got his job cut because they can get someone in India to do it for 5k/yr. and the CEO can get tinted windows for his new Bentley.

  • I do? Well I had no idea that I did that? I was the son of a father of three who made minimum wage building prefab houses while we tried to save enough money to move out of the tent that we were living in and into an home, so please do spare me the lectures

  • wyatt, you are so right!! newt gingrich is brilliant. i didn't used to like him much, but wish he was running as the republican nominee. thanks, david

  • Gingrich is an elitis theoretical "charlatan". He does not undestand that just because you have a business does not make you rich, in the contrary, for the most part, you loose your quality of famly life because you are so busy trying to keep the business afloat. After you write all the checks each month, you have nothing. who is Gingrich to talk down to business people like that?

    Getting a steady paycheck from government or someone else is the quickest way to get wealthy. dishonesty annoys me

  • "Getting a steady paycheck from government or someone else is the quickest way to get wealthy. dishonesty annoys me".

    paforbo,

    That is honestly one of the stupidest comments I have seen on YouTube. And I have seen a lot of STUPID comments. Yours takes the cake. Yes, let the gov't take care of you. Everyone who actually works for a living are the ones lining your pockets. Go get em.

  • paycheck from the government huh? i'm on SSI and i can barely live off it AND i can't work so u should shut up :D

  • Wrong!

    If want wealth you run for office, beg for money,pocket some of it, get connections, than write books, go teach at a university, give speeches in Dubai, become a consultant at a network, use your political and government connections later in life and become a lobbyst, and then receive your government pension, Social security retirement, and while those years you get the best health care in the USA.

    THAT IS HOW YOU BECOME RICH.

    Are u kidding me, small business? u r a hipocrite/liar.

  • McCain ( and hillary) say they have been tested and all their dirty laundry is out, and that people know who they are already.

    WRONG. We do not remember. we have short memory. whatever they think we know about them, we do not. "THE BAGGAGE".

    So. we need to know now!!

    We now now all about Obama and so far we like him even more.

    NOW IT IS TIME WE KNOW THE REAL PAST OF mcAIN AND cLinton (except she dont matter anymore )

    But McCain, "Keatting 5", Hague, for starters

    Hannity has amnesia.

  • Gingrich, yours is a simplistic generalization. None of the groups you mention have been oppressed like African American slaves have.

    The abhorrent way African Americans were introduced into society triggered a viscious circle which prevents the model you describe from ticking into action.

  • African americans suppress themselves. The days of oppression have long been gone and the key word in your response is "introduced" past tense. They hold up their progress by using racism as an excuse when in fact todays african americans are more racist than ever before.

  • SOOO TRUE!!!! and it's just messed up.. he shouldnt be targeting his own issues... he should be targeting ALL issues... like prejudice in general.. i have a disability and i've been called a retard before there are also gay bashers and sexist people! its messed up and it seems to me he's just going to use this presidency for his own personal gain...
