  • Obama is such a fraud. He was bad news back in 08 and he is bad news now.

  • License to be a plumber 3)doesn't own or was intending to buy a company and lastly but the best he was way beyond on property taxes from this Ottawa

  • Joe the ass wipe 1)doesn't even have the right

  • Comment removed

  • Joe the plumber. I'm not saying his political views are wrong, I just love how fucking easy it is to become famous nowadays for doing nothing. Maybe I should stare into a webcam for 30 seconds and say Japanese phrases at the end of it. Oh wait...

  • Joe the Plumber is running for Congress. I my state :D

  • America is NOT a democracy, it is a REPUBLIC. Get your facts straight people. And newt is the biggest fraud the GOP has to offer. Flip flops on everything, and chooses side buy whoever pays him the most. Cheated on all of his wives too on top of that. Newt will backrupt this country and wants to lead the same politics as Obama.

    Look into Ron Paul if you want to restore America.

  • @microape thank you! all this opinionated political bullshit that people argue constantly about... smh

  • "If you spread the wealth around, its good for everybody."

    Dear Mr. Obama,

    That is a Marxist statement. This country is a Democracy.

    NEWT 2012

  • @ERICx223 You are a very smart person. NEWT 2012 all the way.

  • 3 years later and Obama still doesn't make sense. Next!

  • tax cuts for the union people. bus drivers teacher, auto workers. The union people he wants their vote.

    Vote for whoever is running against him, even mickey mouse.

  • This video is weak!!!!!! Obama Sucks Joe asked some legit questions and they cut them all out.

  • You know what Obama did wrong was he taxed the small business owner instead of the top 9% of society who owns more of the wealth than all of the rest of us combined, and I think that's why so many people are pissed off about it, and a lot of you are totally missing the point because you want everything Obama does to be great, and a lot of people just want everything Obama does to suck and don't really have a legitimate argument, because you left/right political idiots are all fucking lemmings.

  • This bald headed douche bag is a fucking asshole. Unreasonable people that will disagree with Obama about ANYTHING.

  • JOE THE PLUMBER is RUNNING FOR CONGRESS 2012 !!!!

  • @NuLaifMusic

    He lied about being a plumber, he lied about having a $250K a year business, and he even lied about what his name is.

    HE'LL MAKE AN IDEAL Congressman!

  • @TrollBuster9090 Totally agree!! I think that Obama is a great president, is not easy to clean the big mess that Bush left behind. I REGRET VOTING FOR BUSH and I guess most of Americans do. On 911 he even promise US revenge but guess who Deliver? Obama! His troups kill Bin Laden and is like Americans to give him enough credit for that. A LOT OF TALK ABOUT 911 SHOULD EQUAL A LOT OF TALKING ABOUT THE MAN WHO BROUGHT JUSTICE AND GOT BIN LADEN KILLED- OBAMA! For me OBAMA MEANS HISTORY BIG TIME! GBA

  • @NuLaifMusic Well what a lot of you don't know iz me an Obama goes way bck n

    Nigga stole my bike.

  • @NuLaifMusic Obama is a wortless president not more then Bush but he's still a bad one, and btw Obama didn't kill Bin Laden so don't give him the credit. This war is just dumb and pointless, why send in an army to defeat some terroist? It's not like they have a big army like america :S Obama is just waisting money on this war by sending so many soldiers... btw America stop the drug war that's costing you billions of dollar and use the money to fix your damn economy instead...

  • @GiantRobotZodd You know the president isn't the only one that makes these decision..

  • @GotKn1fe yes he is. he also owns wall street occupiers everywhere. Energy secretary, a Chinese guy, is taking the heat for the $500,000 that went down the drain. Says the white house had nothing to do with it. Well recorded that ceo of Solyndra was back and forth at the white house. So what do you think those 2 were doing there? Maybe a pig in the poke

  • @NuLaifMusic "his troops kill Bin Laden" they happened to kill Bin Laden during Obama's presidency but that plan was in action way before Obama was elected.

  • @NuLaifMusic Exactly what colorduck said... Obama just happened to be President during Bin Ladens killing. All Obama had to do was say 'yes' to go on with the mission. And I gauruantee(sp?) that any other Pres. would have done the same thing. Obama is definitely HIstory...first president with a downgrade! but I guess you'll just blame Bush for that huh?

  • wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute....he's black

  • im sorry but we (the USA) are fucked. Financial markets are dying across the world. 

  • Mr. Clean?

  • @NikoAndRoman123

    Mr. Clown.

  • THE ONLY THING I WANT FROM THE FEDREAL GOVERNMENT IS THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS I WANT IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA :-))

  • i really darn typos lol

  • shame shame shamethat we have to share the wealth people auronatically think that just because you make a higher salary that you have more money to spend and you should pay more taxes,the rich are ones who contribute more money to any other class of people to charities and other organizations. dont penalize a certain class of people because you " think" they have more money to throw around thats saying a lot because im lower middle class right now.

  • he is a commie douche. this is how america works obama. work hard. get paid. not work hard and pay everyone. if ur not retarded, injured, or a senior citizen, whyy should u get free money?

  • Someone should explain the difference between gross and net to Mr. The Plumber. I doubt his plumbing business nets "250, 270, 280 thousand dollars a year" but it's conceivable it grosses that amount. You're not taxed on the gross, otherwise most businesses would end up owing more in taxes than their profits. Republican politicians pretending not to understand this simple idea is very telling.

  • @weedipikia what? why would you be taxed on the gross? the gross is the amount left after taxes what the hell are you sayinglol

  • share the wealth and from each according to his ability to each according to his need--K. Marx & B. Obama. Stop the BS this guy is a skinny socialist and thank GOD he is history in 14 months. Tonight I had to listen to more Keynesian BS socialist, central planning yadayadayada from this clown that got us in this mess. He's like some Manchurian candidate and now I have to wait 2 weeks to hear this clown tell me how much his union payoff stimulus junk will cost me.

  • They make less because they worked/work less hard. Stop crying about it.

  • You really want to be fair? The Bible says, paraphrasing, "If one is given more, then more is expected from him".  The rich do not believe that, no matter what religion to which they belong, or how many services they attend. They believe they are "entitled". If Republicans want to cut entitlements, that's where they should start! TAX THE HELL OUT OF THEM!!! LITERALLY!!!!!

  • I wouldn't let this guy work on my sewer. What a dope!

  • o a worthless piece of dog poop

  • Spread the wealth around is a SOCIALIST and COMMUNIST term. It means to steal from those who work for it, and give it to those who don't.

  • @kingzach74 LOL...socialism and communism are different terms.... spreading the wealth around is inevitable-with programs like medicare, medicaid, etc....you are a joke with your analysis...you wouldnt have made it anywhere without public education (unless u went to private) which means that someone else funded your education

  • I love how regardless of what he thinks of Obama, he's still a nice guy and is shaking the man's hand. Whoever said he was a bigot and all, watch this simple video!!! 

  • freaking sickle and hammer-wielding MARXIST

  • @FWYGINOND Yeah, nothing says socialism like tax cuts. Boy what an asshole.

  • @SSSILENTPRODUCTIONS why is it the responsibility of the wealthy to provide these tax cuts?

  • @bferg531 It is the responsibility for everyone to provide taxes. Currently the rich barely pay taxes, and they are the one class that can afford it.

  • @SSSILENTPRODUCTIONS i never said it wasnt everyone's responsibility to pay taxes, but everyone should pay the same amount regardless of what you make. my question stands: why should the wealthy pay more than everyone else? because they worked their asses off to get a good salary?

  • @bferg531 I think that statement makes sense. But, the problem is that low income families would be hurt more by taxs than helped. I dont like this situation either. But, the wealthy have more money to spend...so they can afford to pay higher taxes. I guess the people who benefited the most from this country, have a duty to give some back. A 2007 study showed that Americans in the bottom 50% only own 2.5% of the U.S wealth. While the top 90%-100% contained about 70 percent of us wealth.

  • @SSSILENTPRODUCTIONS i dont think the wealthy should have to pay less but i definitely dont think they should pay more. why is it their responsibility to pick up the slack for the poor people? using the excuse "because they can afford it" is socialism. its not their fault they worked hard and earned a good living, why are they penalized for it? using your logic, why not everyone just share everyone's money, that way there will be no poor people at all, right?

  • Joe the Plumber should get his license first. Douche.

  • There seems to be a missunderstanding by Obama, the truth is let's look GM is backed up by means of the debt that goes on backs of every tax payer. Now back to joe, Obama wants to raise taxes on Bussiness , to spread the wealth to other jobs set up thourgh goverment . Now take a look at GM same thing ,bail out through taxes, poor product, bad warranty,over priced, going broke, this kind of debt by the gov. ,means no money . GM is going BROKE!!! WHOS NEXT??? It,s not wealth IT'S DEBT we get

  • (Cont.) - he (Obama) is following Rome's Social Doctrine. Oh yes, Obama in a FOXNEWS article said he was INFLUENCED by the Catholic Church's Social Justice before he made his tripe to Italy in 2009. Google "

    "Obama: Social Justice in Catholic Church Has Had 'Profound Influence' on Me." So, the next time you hear Hannity call out Obama on his radical influence from "black liberation theology" you will know where he truly gets it from: ROME.

  • (Continuing Rome's Social Doctrine): "... to ensure a globalization in solidarity, a globalization without marginalization." Sean Hannity's Church on "Unions": "unions to engage in renewal...widening the scope of their activity of solidarity so that protection is afforded not only to the traditional categories of workers, but...even at the international level; to those who do not have a job, to immigrants, seasonal workers." (308) Indeed, Obama's agena is radical. Yet, he is following... cont

  • You've heard it from Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Bill Cunningham, Michelle Malkin, O'Reilly, Newt Gingrich, et al. CATHOLIC pundits that Obama is following a radical black liberation/Marxist theology ("spreading the wealth around"), but why do they not discuss their Church's Socialist agenda? Rome's agenda is global: "Looking after the common good means making use of the new opportunities for the redistribution of wealth among the different areas of the planet... to ensure..."(363) Social Doctrine

  • Don't care for obama much but Joe is one retarded fuck plumber he isn't even a real plumber this fuck should go back into his house and kill himself

  • Nicely edited to exclude JTP's lucid observations. AP=All Propaganda.

  • The gap between the rich & poor will continue to grow until the eventual collapse of consumerism, when the (former) middle class becomes too poor to pay for stuff, and the banks too strict to give them credit.

    All these benefits and tax-cuts for the rich are creating a new aristocracy, while all these spending cuts are destroying the middle & lower class...

    Recipe for disaster..

  • Joe should seek advice from the most wealthiest and most famous plumbers in the world. . . Mario Bros.

  • Event #1- you go to the ATM to pull our YOUR money that YOU earned through YOUR hard work to provide for YOUR family and a guy walks up with a gun, says it's not "fair" that you have more than he does and takes 1/2 of it to help himself out. Event #2- Obama approaches you and tells you that he's going to take YOUR money taht YOU earned to support YOUR family because it's not "fair" that you have more and takes 1/2 of it to help out.

    One goes to prison and one goes to the white house.

  • @TheJoozie sound reasoning right there...

  • @TheJoozie Income tax for the rich is 50%?

  • @Marglar7 When all is said and done, at the end of the year I have paid about 60% in taxes between federal, state and local which is just income, property, and school taxes. THEN after that, there's sales tax, electricity tax, phone tax, oil tax, car tax, luxury tax, tobacco tax, gas tax.. the list goes on and on. So I get to keep 40 cents for every dollar THEN pay taxes on everything else. Maybe I should have said the guy at the ATM takes 80% to help out? LOL

  • Lo.. This is the first time I've listened to the whole clip, and it's actually really reasonable!!! Dang.

  • KARL MARX=FUCK THE MIDDLE CLASS

  • GOP=FUCK THE MIDDLE CLASS

  • Isn't it time to hook Joe's big mouth and little brain up to the StupidAmplifier again? I'm sure they can wring another 15 minutes out of this welfare sucking, tax dodging patriot.

  • Why are Hollywood actors or athletes scum because they found someone willing to pay exorbitance amounts of money for the skills they have? People pay crazy amounts to go see them. As soon as people you included (and I call bullshit if you say don't watch movies) quit paying them, they won't make money. Should they work for 12 dollars an hour and Hollywood and sports venues charge .50 cents a ticket or should they charge the maximum amount that will still fill stadiums?

  • @soudie23 12$ an hour!

  • @Lamboragon Yeah but it probably angered many Paulestinians. :D

  • @Lamboragon simply prove you aren't then.

  • @Lamboragon whatever you say trailer trash.

  • @Lamboragon that's why i'm voting for bachmann

  • i bet joe the butt plumber is jealous that palin stole the spotlight from him and got all the money he couldn't get. total cock-block on her part.

  • @Lamboragon you're a fag

  • Got to love it how joe the plumber acts like 250,000 a year isn't a whole lot of money..... Sad days we live in in america when people think like that. If 250,000 a year is peanuts then 50k a year must be radioactive dirt.

  • @nemisis0 It isn't that much when you're a small business owner and you want to hire more people but can't because of Democrats' placing excessives regulations, fines, fees and taxes and penalties and bureaucracies designed to stop you from being successful and hiring on more people. 250,000 is alot of money? Tell it to NBA players or HOLLYWOOD actors scum.

  • obama's a fucking insane idiot.

  • @xeadm Obama already stated on his speech after this with Mccain that this plan would not affect small business owners at all.

  • @xeadm great opinion. back up your statement you dipshit. Obama makes perfect sense and if you think 3% is so much more when you are making 250,000 up, it really isnt.

  • @montagesANDdisputes why should he be taxed more for making more?

    dose that make sense to you?

    some one is making more, they should be taxed more?

    its socialism.

  • @xeadm Isn't that better than taxing people who make less? I don't believe everyone should have the same income, but how is it beneficial for 5% of Americans to have wayyyy more money than they need while 20% of Americans don't have enough to afford basic necessities? Even taxed more, if you're making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year you will be able to afford a ton of luxuries. But that bit of extra tax helps a larger amount of Americans who make less just be okay.

  • @Marglar7 I understand wanting to reward those who work hard, but I don't see the logic in focusing more on making sure that people who already have multiple houses and cars and designer clothes can afford MORE of those things...I'd rather focus on making sure everyone can at least get enough. :/

  • @Marglar7 and then what is "enough" for the others? If you go to another country and see THEIR poverty, you'd be ashamed at how well everyone here in "poverty" lives and how they complain. And when the rich buy more things, it isn't just giving them more things. It is employing someone to deliver those things, make those things, sell those things, maintain those things. someone builds the house, makes the furniture, sews the clothes, designs and manufactures the cars..

  • @Marglar7 and please, let's be crystal clear on something. Socialism / spreading the wealth, DOESN'T bring in more money to the govt. Our progressive tax system gets us less money than if EVERYONE paid a tax on their usage/consumption. The RICH have great accountants and shelters that get them out of paying. Raising taxes only hits the middle and there's a HUGE difference between 250k and 1 million. The 250k guy doesn't shelter his money.

  • @Marglar7 not to mention that obama HIMSELF in a debate in the primary ADMITTED that raising the capital gains tax would NOT increase revenue to the govt but he wanted to do it for purposes of "fairness". That means that JUST BECAUSE you earned more money you'll be taxed. It's not going to HELP anyone because revenue is lower when capital gains tax is higher. So who would be getting at least enough if that happens? No one. It's just to punish productivity.

  • @Marglar7 how much is "way more money than they need"? What does someone need and who determines that? You don't know what people's obligations are and what they pay for with their money that THEY earn. I'll use my friend as an example for this: She and her husband earn about 300k a year. After taxes (local, state and fed) they are left with about 120k. 10k a month sounds like a lot until you pay for her mom's nursing care and then her grandma's nursing care. That then drops to about 5500.

  • @Marglar7 Their house payment (they bought during the bubble and aren't walking away like so many are because their property value has dropped considerably) is $2200. Now she's @ 3300. They're a family of 4, NEVER eat out but her food bill is about $1200 a month. 2100 left. Electricity and phones are about 700 (they live in extreme heat and cold). Down to 1400. One kid is in preschool which is 800. Left with 600. No car payments. $150 a week left. Is that "wayyyy more money than they need"?

  • @Marglar7 income tax should be 5% for everyone.

  • @xeadm so the money can be focused at the top great

  • Huh?

    Although I do not normally donate material wealth; I volunteer weekly and I only make about 30k/year.. I can guarantee you I would share more time, and without a doubt material wealth when I starting achieving six figure + income..

    I receive more personal gratification helping others, and i'm sure most if not a significant minority believe the same.. So yes, to answer your question I guess that does make me selfish.

  • "Spread the wealth". So when shall the marxist revolution begin?

  • Obama is a radical communist

  • @nbaalltheway  lol..

  • joe stfu and install my hot water cylinder

  • Isn't this guy on pawn stars?

  • after reading a lot of these comments i ask myself "what is the American dream?"

  • Obama pwned Joe. Joe the Plumber, what a joke.

  • OOOO BUM MA, the strongest man the muslims have against civilization.

  • Corporations don't pay any taxes and rich who make billions only make 15% of income tax. This is all BS that rich pay more taxes, they pay more because they own 90% of wealth, middle class is disappearing in America.

  • I'm so sick of everyone bitching about the rich being too powerful and taxes being unfair. You know who gives the rich their power? We do! If you think the poor need more, get off youtube, sell your computer and support them. How many people who bitch about the rich have facebook pages and google everything, or buy iphones and microsoft products. We provide the power to whoever we decide has the best product or service. Boycott Wal-Mart if you think they're evil. Stop driving everywhere.

  • @cleatusjr

    Yes they have power to control government , they have lobbyists, that's why they have reduced their taxes from 90% top margin rates to 15%. Corporations are not paying any taxes, its only middle class which pays taxes.

  • The way I see it, Joe is right in thinking that 'the american dream' is to work hard and grow in success and wealth and live comfortably. However, Obama sees the world more realistically and he sees that not everyone can achieve the american dream. There just isn't enough money to go around for everyone. Obama has rightfully prioritized the general comfort of the whole nation over being able to afford pools and range rovers. sorry america! canada rules

  • @znuff666

    It's not like that's theft or anything... but being from Canadia you never had a chance :)

  • @znuff666

    You are right, once money get settle in pockets of rich its not going to move around, rich won't invest into economy until he get more profit out of it , that means reduction of middle class salaries. which will reduce the demand , overall the money in pockets of rich attracts more money, and ultimately all money is going to be in their pockets unless there is system of redistribution to keep the middle class alive. Redistribution is only way to keep every body working for money.

  • Joe the Plumber is a DAMN LIE talking about he's about to buy a company that pays 287K a year. He's too damn stupid to purchase a company that valuable.

  • "Put yourself back ten years ago...you'd save money with my plan". This is anti-growth for business. Obama wants us to go back in our progress. If I am moving forward and making more money I don't want to go back to when I wasn't making as much to safe a bit, I want to move forward and grow my business. 

  • @3guysproductions

    How is it Anti growth ? you only going to pay extra 4% on money over than 250k, So are you going to not earn extra money because you will have to pay 39% ? Any way as long as demand is there if you are not going to earn that money some body else will and he will pay taxes.

  • @FrodoBaggins1575 for fucks sake Obama was born in Hawaii which, last time I checked, is a US state. Therefore he is an American citizen

  • Ron Pile: "Obama's NOT a socialist"

  • @ronpaulisacommunist he's not, he's a corporatist. A socialist wouldn't bail out banks like Obama did. Don't misquote people ignorant fuck

  • @zanariot Fuck you, Obama and Ron Pile all. You're all socialists.

  • @zanariot A socialist is a corporatist.

  • haha Obama got owned! Joe showed him the failed logic in his "Spread The Wealth Around" idea

  • @FrodoBaggins1575 where have you been the last 2 years. since that video we have learned that joe the plummer is not even a plummer. he owed taxes, only makes about 30k a year. he also made an appearance where he says that the other candidate used him. i want to hear from you an apology to obama if thats not too much ask

  • @thanos1966 i didn't hear about that. and i doubt all of thats true, and even if it is. Frankly it doesn't matter, it doesn't make joe less right. and I'm not going to apologize to Obama. all his Promises have come to nothing. He hasn't made the economy better, he's made it worse. and he can't just blame it on bush anymore. we don't even have proof he's a american citizen. he has millions of dollars to spend on his campaign while he has a half brother starving in kenya.

  • This isnt even the full video...The full one probably doesnt exist the media cut it up so much...

  • so did obama cut tax for poor ppl? o0r just another lie? dont live in the usa but i bet he lied never liked this guy typical common phrase from poluitics brainwah text book taken from psychology, theres nothing better then understanding psychology philosophy etc u really get door opening in your mind dots connecting in and reality out making more sense and appearing like it really is... lies slavery

  • See kids, this is what happens when you don't pay attention in school

  • look at all the people in the comments that don't know what the fuck socialism is

  • Looks like Rick from Pawn Stars.

  • PYRAMID SCHEME! whats this "from the bottom up" talk ....how do i get there? and where is the top on this $250,000+ tax bracket. <is this the top? what the?! also sounds socialist and communist. "spread the wealth around"..that the!?

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I think he answered that very well.

  • whatever

    

  • Anyone still supporting the left is brain dead.

  • Wow, they cut this video up so you didn't even see what Joe said in response. Gotta love our biased ass media!

  • @djvillain Youtube is the media???? LOL

  • @MarilynFilth

    Media (ˈmiːdɪə)

    - n

    1. a plural of medium

    2. the means of communication that reach large numbers of people

    Hmm...the means of communications that reach large numbers of people...

  • The demand curve for plumbing is extremely inelastic. No one will pay more for plumbing if they have lower taxes. No amount of tax decrease would change people's want for plumbing. Obama's bottom up theory does not work if people are willing to pay virtually any price for a good. His plan would theoretically assist businesses in non-necessity markets such as restaurants and movie theaters etc.

  • Joe looks like he would be greedy in the sack.

  • Man he made a lot of sense

  • Imagine if Obama answered the question by picking up his cellphone, dialling and saying 'do it'. Then Joe the plumber suddenly gets shot in the head by a sniper.

  • Joe the Exposed lying FAGGOT non tax paying bitch loser who is dumber then a fucking mutt.Fucking broke ass moron thinks he's Republican.He's what's wrong with this country a fucking mope allowed to vote and doesn't even know the score.What fuck stick.

  • 2012 can't come soon enough. We've got to get rid of this criminal ass clown Obama. He is the worst thing to inflict pain on this country since WWII. He needs to be held accountable for his actions, as well as the brain dead socialist rat bastards that put this piece of excrement in office.

    God save the republic.

  • if i were barack at that moment, i would have told joe the plumber 'alright, well listen, i'm gonna make an exception and see to it that you won't be subjected to my new tax plan so you won't be taxed as much, ok? but this is a secret between you and me alright?'

  • wurzelbacher is a real skinhead.

  • Joe wouldn't make a pimple on Barack's ass.

  • I dont want people paying for my shit and I dont want to pay for anyone elses shit. Its not fair why should I get punished for my success. If you need help paying for things ask me and maybe I can give you a loan out of my pocket but dont ask me to pay for some lazy ass bastard whos to lazy to get up and get a job. I understand there hard to find but if you truly look you will find one.

  • @ryancicocki umm... yeeahhh... I dont think you'll be paying for people who dont have a job. Maybe you should go read a book or something.

  • @TheMC4rmNC Can you spell welfare? Do you know what welfare is? Well it pretty much means people without jobs get free money. I forget what the number are but last I checked 2/3 of our GDP (how much money the country makes off of taxes) was spent on social programs. I would say everyone who pays taxes is supporting lazy bastards taking advantage of our welfare system.

  • @ryancicocki When the banks started crashing and the wide scale corruption began (during GW's administration a record number of corporate crimes occured) it created our nation's current unemployment problem. Majority of the unemployed had jobs until this occured and there's no jobs to be had because of it. The bank bailout was a huge mistake that didn't help at all. All it did was allow the banking industry to continue doing the shady shit that lead to the problems.

  • So, two years have passed, did he get that plumbing business ?

  • My largest problem with Joe the "Plumber" is that he lied. When interviewed he was making approx $40,000. That means none of the stuff Obama was talking about applied to him. Interesting how the Plumber union backed Obama. Joe is not the common man. He quickly cashed in on his new found fame (guest speaking, etc). If anything he owes Obama for his increase in wealth.

  • business is never bad for a plumber

  • didn't he just state that he will get a tax credit and then a tx cut at the same time. Obama just did a jedi mind trick.

  • Haha. He was put on the spot. What a tool.

  • a common plumber eanrning 250000 a year?

  • Joe the Plumber is a very common man, and I'm glad that he was there. I am a die hard Republican and with this new tax plan it makes me even more of one. I shouldn't have to raide my taxes to pay for other people and welfare families. The one's that abuse it rather. I have no problem with welfare or poor families, but when you choose to be lazy, and not work because you are receiving my money, then I have a big problem. Wealth distrubution is foolish. If I make my OWN money then its my MONEY.

  • @iLepReconi Do you make over 250,000 a year?

  • @iLepReconi Too bad Joe lied. As son as the facts came out about him he has zero actual credability. Did he think nobody would find out? Doing away with the tax cuts GW gave to the rich is a great thing. If you're making $250,000+ a year you don't need tax breaks.

  • @abrnt1 Everyone needs tax breaks. Why are the most successful people required to support the unsuccessful? Fucking beggars looking for handouts.

  • @cleatusjr That's bs man. The rich got their tax breaks because they paid for them. If you're making over $250,000 a year you don't need a better tax break than someone making $25,000. Currently that's what the situation is. When the rich r able to write off their luxary expenses there's a problem.

  • @abrnt1 So poor people pay more than 39%? I doubt that. The bottom few percent actually receive money instead of paying in. Anyone can use tax codes to their advantage. I'm nowhere near the $250,000 mark and I write off everything I can. It only costs a couple hundred dollars to incorporate and start to use the tax laws to your benefit.

  • @cleatusjr Again why should the rich get a better tax break? GW pushed this through and it's been the cause of numerous problems. Up until the early 70s the rich had 90% of their income taxed and they were still the rich. Granted maybe giving tax breaks to people making up to $500,000 would be alright (you have a valid point). The real problem is the minority who make the really large sums (if you make over a million why do you need a tax break?).

  • @abrnt1 The poor are taxed so little that a huge tax break for the rich would still end with them paying a higher percent. So how do the rich get a better tax break when they are paying more comparitively?

  • @abrnt1 So does that mean you're ok with a 90% tax on the rich? Imagine if some day you finally come up with some amazing product or idea and you get a check for say $5,000,000. Now you can pay off your parents house, buy your own, and send your kids to college. Not if you have to give 90% to the government who will keep some, waste a lot, give some to leeches, and finally give some to those who truly need it. Why not keep all 5 million and help people by choice?

  • @cleatusjr The 90% tax the rich used to get was never a problem (the rich were still rich). The rich r the leeches. If you make over a million (BTW I know at least 5 people who make this much & they agree with me on this issue) you should not get the break. Look at what the rich paid in taxes before GW's break.

  • @abrnt1 The 90% tax was never a problem to you. I'm sure it was a big problem for the rich. With the Bush Tax Cuts the rich still pay a higher percent than the poor. Your entire argument makes no sense. You keep saying the rich are getting a better tax break when they're not. Repeating something on youtube doesn't make it true.

  • @cleatusjr The majjority of the rich who the tax break is helping don't deserve it. We're not talking about people who worked for this money. Repeating what you heard on youtube doesn't make it true either. The majority of the rich who got the break r the real leeches. FYI who really cares if the rich pay more? Except for the rich nobody does.

  • @abrnt1 As a person who is trying to get rich, I care. Even if I never do get rich, I don't expect the more fortunate to support me and my family, that's my responsibility. How can you say people don't deserve it? Did they somehow break the law to get rich? If so, that's no matter for the IRS, that's a matter for the police. We are the ones who don't deserve free money from the rich, we didn't earn it. Success isn't a right.

  • @cleatusjr The tax break helped the heads of corporations more than anyone else and look what they did with it: more jobs lost as they move their factories overseas and hire cheap labor. Why give these people anything? They don't deserve anything and their actions destroy the US economy. By don't deserve anything they don't.

  • @abrnt1 It's a no-brainer that if you have more money, a tax break will help you more. Does that mean we should take all their money away? A business owner has every right to do what they want with their business. That is what the land of opportunity is about. Just like as a consumer, we can boycott any business that operates immorally. We are the ones that give corporations power by supporting them. Every finger you point at someone else, you point 3 at yourself.

  • @cleatusjr my point is someone who's rich should pay more in taxes. that's the no brainer. there's a couple millionaires who have recently spoken out against the tax break. one mentioned his secretary pays a higher percentage in taxes than he does. that's where the problem is. Nobody is saying a business owner doesn't have the right to do what they want, but if they r getting large tax breaks they shouldn't screw the people who work for them.

  • @abrnt1 Show me any proof that the highest tax bracket pays a smaller percentage than the lower ones.
