[F4sSprintST]

Preach it man!

[dayadayadaya123]

"They don't have a car." I don't have a fucking car either bitch. I car - pool with my family. And I don't fucking ask anyone to give me a fucking car. I work 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. All you mother fucker lazy ball suckers complaint and complaint, but which one of you all is willing to fucking spend time at work and stay away from home in order to provide for your family?

[VegasAlien]

That woman embodies the typical liberal. They all have that clueless, vacant stare and can't have a conversation without screaming and blaming George Bush somehow.

But no, she does not represent the bulk of the "Occupy" Flea Party; she actually lets Schiff get a word in edgewise.

[OkInsanity]

What a dumb jalous bitch lol :D

[PythagorasHyperborea]

THESE OCCUPIERS ARE DANGEROUSLY IGNORANT. THEY DON'T EVEN REALIZE WHO THEY'RE TALKING TO... A MAN WHO HAS CHALLENGED CORRUPTION MORE THAN THEIR ENTIRE MOVEMENT EVER WILL!!!! GD FOOLS!

[MrAdrenaline1982]

Those people are crazy.

[jsroland]

This guy is my hero. Honestly-- well done sir... well done. and, THANK YOU for employing 150 people and not taking those jobs overseas. Although with morons like that lady out there screaming for more of your money-- no one could blame you.

[jsroland]

I just jogged by the so called "occupy Denver" group. What a joke. It is a bunch of homeless people sleeping on tarps. They have setup a soup kitchen and it seems like the only people they are attracting/retaining are a bunch of people who want a free meal. Surprise Surprise.

[epik89]

idiots.

[FreakshowLee]

First, the woman in the debate is a moron. Wish she would have debated, rather than spewing bumper sticker phrases. Second, there's absolutely no way in hell that Schiff is paying that 50% tax rate he says he is. That may be what his tax rate is, but they're all exploiting the same loopholes that Buffett does (paying the capital gains rate of 15% instead of 50%, for example). Third, he may be rich, but he has no idea how to operate a microphone.

[ObamaWorstPOTUSEver]

@FreakshowLee ..."they're all exploiting the same loopholes that Buffett does"... you mean like obama's best friend GE paying $0 taxes (yes, you read it right: $0 dollars and $.00 cents) on a $20 billion profit in 2010.

Funny how these obama-loving liberal-terrorists in disguise say nothing about it.

[NewOut1]

@ObamaWorstPOTUSEver you show your ignorance by assuming all of the occupy movement protesters support obama. what you describe "like obama's best friend GE paying $0 taxes (yes, you read it right: $0 dollars and $.00 cents) on a $20 billion profit in 2010" is EXACTLY the type of loop holes , kick backs, bad bail out deals, etc etc the protesters are trying to change. your argument makes zero sense. 

[ObamaWorstPOTUSEver]

@NewOut1 "you show your ignorance by assuming all of the occupy movement protesters support obama," I don't have to assume anything. I have eyes and ears and I can think.

If the media, the same people who helped to elected obama, supports these loons that tells me something. If obama and his pack of liberal-terrorists like pelosi and the rest of the democrats go out of their ways to express support to this "movement"--something they refused to do with the Tea Party-- that tells me something...

[ObamaWorstPOTUSEver]

@NewOut1 (Cont) If every time I look for a video of these drones and the only thing I find is idiots like these attacking Bush--when Bush hasn't been president for almost 4 years now--that tells me something too.

If every time I hear these idiots talk is like hearing the talking points of people like the unions, liberals, msnbc, and democratic party,,, well, I don't have to assume shit. I know for a FACT they support the biggest liberal-animal ever to be the President of the United States.

[NewOut1]

there are sometimes 20 k people down there. it does not surprise me they chose to upload a clip talking to a bumper sticker slogan moron and try to act like she is somehow a representative chosen to speak for the movement. give me a break. look up the tea part rally interviews from NewLeftMedia. same idea, except the tea party interviews talked to many many people not 1 or two. in any case, these people do not represent the movement.

[ObamaWorstPOTUSEver]

@NewOut1 "there are sometimes 20 k people down there. it does not surprise me they chose to upload a clip talking to a bumper sticker slogan moron and try to act like she is somehow a representative chosen to speak for the movement" -- are you this psycho and delusional? this is NOT your MSNBC channel trying to edit and pick stupid people on video. Every freaking video uploaded on youtube and elsewhere show these people for what they are: idiots.

You can't have it both ways.

[CrapOnYT]

Peter Schiff just chewed the balls of all OWS monkeys.

[bkenes]

This is classic! Good for the CEO..this coming from one of the "53%"

[ladyjensen1971]

LOVE it. Finally someone face to face with those idiots.

[picbugnet]

The problem is not the 1%, the problem is the system. Get your head out of the right/left paradigm. Larouchpac has the answers to the paradox.

[teeterharris]

I could watch this over and over and over and over again. That's logic! :-D

[marklarvickar]

n. As far as your personal attacks on the protestors, it's clear you speak their language but how many have you actually spoken to and listened?

[marklarvickar]

First of all, let's leave the ad hominem attacks for people less intelligent than you good sir. The sixteenth amendment allows the government to levy an income tax, its at the govts discretion whether its flat or graduated. The constitution also says that it is the job of congress to promote the general welfare. when there is systemic inequality it cannot be logically inferred that those in power got there meritoriously nor that helping them helps those who aren't in power, hense govt regulatio

[dab0331]

@marklarvickar "The constitution also says that it is the job of congress to promote the general welfare."

that's nice twisting of the context of the Constitution.

and FYI the 16th amendment was never fully ratified.

[ObamaWorstPOTUSEver]

@dab0331 don't pay attention to him, he is not even old enough to buy a car on his own even if his profile shows he is 26 years old. According to him he has "several jobs" and he goes to school taking tons of loans / but he still can't be out of debt,,, wonder why?

He spammed another videos saying how obama is great for helping the freeloaders pay for their student loans. See: Obama Trying to Buy New Breed of Brainless Drones; Announces Help for Student Loan Borrowers /watch?v=2gDbFw5bewU

[jato791]

Women like that one that keeps saying, "get rid of the Bush tax cuts", are a good reason to repeal their right to vote. I can't believe how stupid some women are.

[stayl1971]

@jato791 - Men are equally as stupid.

[stayl1971]

I think I'd also add this. Look at the state of the world today. The majority of positions of power both past and present in the Political and Corporate worlds are run by men. This world is screwed up, for the most part, because of who? That's right.. men. Money hungry, power loving men.

[palmisano]

99%? Wikipedia says the lower middle class is only 15% . . .

[marklarvickar]

Increasing income taxes on the wealthiest 1% is not the only part of the movement. I'll bet if his income tax was 100% of his taxable income he'd still make more than 99% of Americans since CEOs make most of their money on investments or stock options. They have a host of ways to duck paying income taxes that most Americans don't have and that's what were trying to change.

[GregBumble]

@marklarvickar By what Constitutional rationale do you tax one person a higher percentage than another? This movement is nothing but a bunch of people wanting others to provide their way in life. How can you support a movement that tells young people their talent and persistence doesn't matter and that others are the cause of their problems? People like you help breed dependency, you should be ashamed of yourself.

[stayl1971]

@GregBumble - Here, here! Couldn't have said it better myself.

[ScreamingHorizon]

@GregBumble

That isn't the source of the movement, but it is being spun in that direction, unfortunately.

[SlayerofFiction]

@GregBumble Its marxism thus the problem.

[yourmomscalling]

YOU ARE THE MAN SCHIFF !!!

[yourmomscalling]

the protestors are a bunch a DOPES LOLOL

[briandjoyce]

Peter Schiff is CEO of Euro Pacific Precious Metals, LLC, a gold and silver dealer based in New York City. What happens when the American Dollar falls? Precious medals such as gold and silver go up. This guy loves when the middle and low class are hurting. He has no moral fiber in his body. yeah good job on making your billions. Where will it go when u die? Will u take it with you? What legacy will u leave? That guy knew how to make money. All the other CEO's will miss u! Ur life is a joke

[danbuck333]

@briandjoyce hahahaha wtf are you on about? its not like he created the down turn in the economy...infact he was one of the the very few who predicted the collapse and tried to actively warn people about....you cant then turn around and vilify him for it...and whats with the jealousy, who cares what he does with his money...your comments are the joke

[e4uksmith]

@briandjoyce Your comment doesn't hold water. When the price is gold goes up he has to purchase it at the market price. Euro Pacific doesn't set the gold market, they deal in gold. High gold simply means its a higher price he has to pay for the product he is dealing.

[Samurai4Jesus]

@briandjoyce Personal attack is a sign of a lack of a good argument.

[meow3636]

u guys who say their dumb love having ur rights tooken dumb fucks lol bend over for them lol

[danbuck333]

@meow3636 And again in english

[mmcdonald628]

I am the 1%

Lets Talk

Awesome sign. Schiff is THE libertarian badass.

[azcraigrr]

Lol - they want to give the 1% a tax break. Armed only with their wit and wisdom...

[somuch4freedom]

i suggest people understand the federal system and the giant fraud that it is, and understand how it causes these recessions and depressions.

[JonMSanderson]

This video, and the people in it, are not asking each other the right questions. I would ask Peter Schiff this question. "How much money did you make last year?" He would answer in the millions, I'm sure. The next question is "When will you have enough money?"

[cscrum]

@JonMSanderson When you quit worrying what everyone else is doing with their life and actually focus your energy on your own life, maybe you too will become one of the 1%. What the hell does it matter how much anyone makes? I hope he makes billions and I hope you do too. There is nothing stopping you but yourself. This country is full of opportunity for those who chose to take it.

[IgnacioAgramonte]

Not  all of them are.

[ObamaWorstPOTUSEver]

These "Wall Street" protesters are nothing more than a bunch of...

Ignorants,

Failures,

No answers to basic questions,

Obama-loving,

Liberals,

Freeloaders,

Losers,

Did I left anything out?

... and pay attention all to the drone with NO answers repeating every two minutes "get rid of the Bush tax cuts", that sounds more like a talking point than anything else.

[bad8311982]

Ignorant implies the ability to learn. These people are flat out stupid, and I'll sum these people up in one word. Hippies

[gtw1983]

@ObamaWorstPOTUSEver

does that Corporate dick taste good in your mouth?

[ObamaWorstPOTUSEver]

@gtw1983

gtw1983 writes, "does that Corporate dick taste good in your mouth?"

I rest my case.

[paul0luap1]

if he's paying his fair share and there still isn't enough $ to go around, I'd say there's a problem with the economic system in America.

[jamezbond78]

@paul0luap1 - there is a serious problem and bingo you just named it - there will never be enough money to pay off the debt. The only solution is to end the FED. Here is why: even if you take all the money in the world, it will not pay off the US debt. And every new dollar has to be borrowed from the FED with interest attached, so there will always be more debt than money -- the bankers make money from nothing, and we become slaves.

[somuch4freedom]

@paul0luap1 then you simply don't understand economics im sorry. excessive taxes on the rich isn't going solve anything. In fact, its money that is printed by the federal reserve which isn't backed by any real value. In effect there is inflation, and its the business cycle which the fed artificially creates which causes recessions and depressions. theres too much consumption, and not enough saving. WHy do you thing Thomas Jefferson warned us about central banks??? he knew the danger in them.

[azcraigrr]

@paul0luap1 I'm reading Buchanan's new book. Spells it all out very well.
