Charles Barkley: "It's Rich People vs. Poor People and Right Now Poor People Are Getting Screwed and I Feel Bad For Those People, Plain and Simple."

[sayanroy36]

the truth. fucjk the rethugs

[mrpink99]

I can't understand how Stein can say in this clip that he's for helping the poor, and insinuates that he is in favor of healthcare for all, and yet he still continues to toe the Republican party line.

[crayyawn]

I love Charles Barkley, he always tells it like it is. No BS from Chuck.

[catbuffalo]

ben stein is scaling back on the elitist fox business rhetoric while sitting next to barkley. Such a fucking weasel.

[KnockoutNed1]

Go Charles!

[SecsSells]

How is that working out under Obama Chuck? LOL

[mroy88]

stein is a terrible person...barkley is cool

[Humanrightsforall1]

Poor people don't stay poor for more than one generation and then move in to the middle class? What the hell does this guy think Middle class means?

[EIDYEIGHT]

@Livingthedream1992- its not about taking your hard earned money it's about how fair is it if you earn more than me and you get tax breaks and I get taxed higher? The middle class is paying for America's debt and that's the major problem.

[SapphireDiamond19]

Since when did Charles Barkley become a spokesperson for politics? Please someone tell this man to stick to sports

[thedirtman00]

So, if Lee Farkus and Dennis Kozlowski take your money for antique cars and gold shower curtains it does not bother you, but it bothers you if some poor kid gets mash potatoes and gravy? Hmmm... okay. Yes, we pay plenty in taxes. How about if we refocus leadership on initiative in research and technology to produce jobs and a better economy? Leaders could make money by leading, and the poor could contribute without having to beg, borrow or steal.

[livinthedream1992]

I can never grasped this concept. Why should MY money that I worked hard for go to someone just because I have more than they do.

[thedirtman00]

@livinthedream1992 It's your psychopathy. Rich people have stolen far more money from you than poor people, but that does not bother you.

[livinthedream1992]

@thedirtman00 No it really doesn't when I see my tax dollars going to waste. I had to pay 12000 dollars in taxes back in April. I'm only 25. So I imagine it will increase as I become older. I would say the poor is robbing me.

[BlackRepublican2010]

This argument is only used by democrat do gooders whose programs do nothing but keep poor people poor & enriches the people in gov't, the trial lawyers, union bosses & hollywood liberals. Witness the policies that Democrats have inflicted on their core constituencies, resulting in vile schools, lawless slums, economic stagnation, and social immobility. Democrats will do anything to make sure that Democratic voters stay helpless and hopeless enough to vote for Democrats.

[elmolovescookies]

@BlackRepublican2010 and republicans are just the greatest party ever invented for the United States right? your a black republican im guessing? how sad..you sir, are either A) a rich rich man afraid of getting taxed or B) a truly, truly lost man... the rest of the country, and the world for that matter, struggles while you support a party that supports an economic plan to protect only one percent of the population.. your the reason america can never truly advance and move forward...

[boricua6483]

@BlackRepublican2010 And also if you notice all the poor areas have been ran by democrats. Barkley, Sharpton, and Jackson keep speaking about the poor people but they don't do shit to help them find jobs. All they want is more gov't spending.

[hectorsalinasisback]

The qualities Charles Barkley are describing belong to Ron Paul not Barack Obama. I'd bet Barkley now regrets voting for Obama, who turned out to be another Bush. Obama borrows money from China spends billions in U.S. tax dollars, using the "humanitarian" excuse to justify imperialistic Hitleresque attacks on sovereign nations in the middle east, forcing them to change their existing form of government. If communist China invaded USA, we'd fight back and be labeled terrorists too. America first!

[BGambino1215]

@hectorsalinasisback obama and ron paul is the same thing.........it dont matter who wins...there all on the same team its us vs them.....ron paul is another pûppet saying what you want to hear

[NZSavage]

@BGambino1215 Only Ron Paul has been saying the same thing for years, even when it wasn't what people wanted to hear...

[BGambino1215]

@NZSavage trust me the government is always thinking one step ahead of us....the only reasoon ron paul is running is beacuse they know people are starting to get aware of all this illuminati new world order conspircy talk and the government put ron paul so the gullable ones will follow.....trust me gov is more bad then good...so theyll never put a good person in power...his just another pawn...and personally i think some war world 3 or something is going to pop off over here within 2 years

[thispoorguy]

@BGambino1215 niggas don't know

[BGambino1215]

@thispoorguy tell me about it 

[KhyLLehk]

Rich people love poor people because the poor are the reason they don't every have to worry about being poor.

[usnate1]

Many made money by working from an early age and taking investment risks which I never have. A whopping 3% of this nation is inherited wealth. 3%!! Do you think A-Rod deserves $30M a yr for hitting a ball 26% of the time? I don't but someone is willing to pay for that. It's not for you to say that's right or wrong. Entitlement is directly related to what you know..the poor people in the U.S. usually at least have food & shelter..the only thing ANY human is OWED by other human beings.

[snevarez89]

I searched for space jam. wtf

[makeitfunkyfolks]

BTW - Statistics disprove Ben Stein's comment that most poor people are middle class after 1 generation. Check census bureau.

[makeitfunkyfolks]

LMAO at the commenter ykon. . . . who thinks Charles Barkley is a dumbass. I wonder what she/he thinks of Palin.

I disagree with him on many things but Charles Barkely is definitely no "dumbass"

[makeitfunkyfolks]

@makeitfunkyfolks - I mistakenly attributed the dumbass comment to ykon when it was actually cockkno. . . who made the comment. My apologies ykon.

[HoneiiDiiva]

Some people choose poverty. I mean without an education and smart living , people tend to face poverty at a higher rate.. Poor people shouldn't bring kids into the world if they are struggling themselves. Poverty can end if they stop producing children and make their own life better first! This doesn't include everyone - just a few.

[makeitfunkyfolks]

@HoneiiDiiva - I agree, look at West Virginia lately? Kentucky? Tennessee?

[selectajay2000]

..thats the first time i actually heard sir charles say somthing that made sense for a change...2:37

[hi8tus707]

Hey Ben Stein, walk a day in my shoes you rich fucking moron. Hard labor will teach you a few things a bowtie doesn't, and that's if you wanna bash a class you'll get your ass smashed. You don't know A THING about HARD WORK. Holler to all the people who actually go earn a productive days' wage. Because Ben Stein and Charles Barkley don't know what it's like to starve when the layoffs happen.

[YKKonYAzippa]

Ben stein said that most poor people only stay poor for one generation- I rly disagree with this

[Cockknocker99]

How does a dumbass like Barkley debate a genius like Ben Stein???? This is fucking stupid.

[gwangjuboy1]

@Cockknocker99 because Stein is not an intellectual in any true sense of the world.

[shvitzenator]

sr chares is the man

[mlw1968]

If you hate him or like him you got to love him. Charles Barkley is right and I would love to see him run one day soon.

[GettingtotheTruth2]

It's not included in this clip--but he did say in this interview that he has plans to run for office in Alabama in 2014 (his first year of eligibility)

[BlackRepublican2010]

@GettingtotheTruth2 He is pro choice & pro unnatural marriage. Do you think those stands would fly in conservative Alabama? Barkley as a politician is a joke.

[ingosnow25]

@mlw1968 Charles Barkley probably doesn't know left from friggin' right, much less how to hold office and make decisions that can affect thousands to million of people!

[striantafyllou]

@ingosnow25 how bout u and all right wing nutjobs go fuck yourselves? how does that sound sweetie?

[ingosnow25]

@striantafyllou Nice attempt at the english language
