Raw Video: Protests Over UC Fee Hike Proposals

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

We spend billions of dollars on ILLEGALS, & ripoff the real TAXPAPERs, raising their TAXES, for the budget deficit due to UNIONs catering to the ILLEGALS. CA raise our taxes, dumb down our schools so that when our kids go to college they can major in Political Science dumbass basketweaving majors like that stupid blonde chic at UCLA.

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

Billions of dollars wasted on ILLEGALS. Education, welfare, food stamps, social workers, doctors, & nurses for their babies, cops, jail, jail gaurds for their gangbanger kids, drugs, billions more wasted in stupid lame ass department like CHICANO studies. They do no respect America, they spit on the American Flag & wave the MEXICAN flag. ILLEGALS do not want to learn English flunk out wasting our tax revenue & abusing the system!!!

[james662662662]

Reap what you sow America. Viva la Mehhhhhhicooooo! Pay for my healthcare! Pay to imprison my 50 gangbanger relatives! Pay for my wealfare! Pay for my 20 kids! Pay for home! AND NOW PAY FOR MY EDUCATION! I pay no taxes, I spread disease, I represent the culture of the turd world. But you OWE ME! You know what? Go fuck yourselves! We're going down in flames because of you! We can't afford you leeches! Soon there won't be anyone left to pay your bill. FUCK YOUR EDUCATION!!!!!

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

@james662662662 Amen to that!

[TheArmy19D]

"I don't get government aid." Quit crying! You know how I got through college? By working my ass off. Typical Liberal waiting for the world to be handed to him.

[TheVedicStudent]

the education system is a big business for the state. Most of you students are fools. All the crap they teach you at universities is pretty much useless. They are actually herding you people like animals together. You people call that education..I call it ignorance.

[UCSDEngineerDoctor]

I blame Sacramento's policy of catering to illegal aliens for this fee hike.

[m0bi]

Occupy that shit!

[iSAW7]

If the UC system was so overburdened by financial problems what where they doing donating 1.6 million dollars to the Obama campaign last year? Maybe these individual contributors need to get their priorities straight.

[1greatdude]

I would have mitigated feeling had the regents balanced the 32% fees increase with a SIMULTANEOUS SALARY CUT on top wage takers at UC.

As it is, the regents are a bunch of incompetent scoundrels who not only have mis-managed the system wide budget year after year, they simply have no abilities whatsoever in problem resolution except HIKE! HIKE! HIKE THE UC FEES OFF THE BACK OF STUDENTS AND MODEST WAGE EARNER PROFESSORS.

Shame on you! Calling yourselves regents when you are scoundrels!

[mrhoffame]

Wait!!! I thought California was the state full of people that LOVE higher taxes and bigger govt?

Not trying to be funny here, and I have no clue of each students views on taxing and so forth but just seems ironic to be coming from California of all places.

[JoeDaPlumber]

Because they are taxing people with very limited sources of income. Students are the poorest people in the USA!!!!

[mrhoffame]

Thanks for the reply. That is the part that confuses me. Why do we put the burden on the people who have good incomes! They don't "Owe" any more to anyone than these students. Why don't the student protest the govt for it's out of control spending?

I really feel if we want to be "equal" and "one world/we are all the same" we got to start acting like it. That means you can't sinlge out a class or race/orientaion of people ONLY when it benefits you and then cry "we are all equal" later.

[JoeDaPlumber]

The reason we put a burden on those with good incomes is because they can AFFORD IT! The problem with CA is that the democrats have run amok by trying to provide everything for everybody. There are some people who shouldn't receive govt aid like illegals. Did you know that California dems are attempting to allow illegals to receive FAFSA (financial aid for school) and they have already decreased fees to resident ones for AB 540 students? Its ridiculous.

[mrhoffame]

I understand what you are saying by "Afford It" and the entitlement problem. The problem I see is that those who are so bent on telling you "don't put your morals on me, my bedroom, god,etc"..they force their moral values on the wealthy by taking their money to do what "THEY" see morally fit. The issue I have with most political views is people only seem to stick to a principle when it benefits them or their beliefs. They protest the hell out of it when it causes THEM to have to sacrafice.

[mrhoffame]

JoeDaPlumber ...sorry this is out of order ...

Contd... For example. One of the things that really, really, really pissed me off about the health care debate was when what's his dick stood up in Congress and said health care was a "Moral" issue and Jesus wouldn't ask for a health care card. Okay..but as soon as abortion comes up? Where is what "Jesus" would say come into play? All of a sudden Abortion is not a moral issue it is about a freedom. I just can't handle that kind of stuff.

[JoeDaPlumber]

I understand about the abortion stuff. But you do know its a Democratic diversion so Republicans back off the public option right? I am just being real. I am ecstatic that the conversation has shifted from the public option to abortion, which means some conservative might get abortion banned under the public option but as LONG AS WE KEEP THE PUBLIC OPTION!

[mrhoffame]

You are 100% correct. That is one of the reason why this health care bill is going to wreck this country!! Follow me here people because JoDaPlumber seems to get it...

THIS BILL IS NOT BEING WRITTEN TO BE THE BEST HEALTH CARE BILL FOR AMERICA AND NEVER FAIL FINANCIALLY. .. IT IS BEING WRITTEN IN WHICH EVER WAY IT NEEDS TO GET VOTES!!!!

Reps and Dems out there..Every bill is this way!!!! This is why we need more than ever to band together as citizens and take back DC.

[JoeDaPlumber]

Of course votes are all that matter right now for the dems. If they GENUINELY CARED about America they would pull out of Afghanistan, start enforcing labor laws, and would create universal health care for all American citizens.

[trojanspaghetti]

Bullshit - i lived in california when you idiots said the same thing about G. Davis and recalled him as governor

the reason there is no money in CA is because of all the resources going to illegals stealing them from the taxpayers

i live in a state now that has a balanced budget and no income tax while CA has the largest population of any state and cannot make ends meet with an income tax ?

Your message is you want the front of the line ahead of people more needy- like the unemployed w/kids.

[JoeDaPlumber]

what state would that be? I hear Wyoming is pretty good

[PhuckHue2]

why didn't they interview any hot babes?

[trojanspaghetti]

they were too busy breastfeeding their babys and they get a welfare check claiming they dont know who the daddy is- then they get free daycare to go along with their grants and student loans while they spend half their lazy ass time in the library textmessaging on the computers

duh

[PhuckHue2]

right wing nut closet fag

[trojanspaghetti]

go eat a dick scrounge

[junkiemonkeyphone]

I bet you 90% of these same students protesting voted for Obama. So much for change, huh? It's time we wake and realize that both parties are screwing us.

[JOS3EMMANUEL]

lazy mexicans need to get a job like me.... I got college and work at tha same time diz modafuckaz r a bunch of pussies. n to lazy ..dont give them shit america!!

[elspoko]

No one believes you go to college with grammar like that. Just saying, when you lie, try to make it believable.

And you don't go to a university by being a 'lazy mexican'. That's a bit retarded to say.

They're not protesting to be let in on a free ride. They're protesting the fact that their tuitions are going up in big numbers. Which makes sense.

[JOS3EMMANUEL]

well believe it dumbasss.

[elspoko]

Too obvious.

Son. I am dissapoint.

Try harder.

[trojanspaghetti]

if you are talking to me i have 3 degrees so you just made yourself look like a big stupid asshole

i just sat here watching Florida students chanting that education should be free so please dont make comments putting false motives up the students asses- they have enouph up there as it is

[elspoko]

Um, I wasn't talking to you.

And like Jos3, no one believes you have three degrees in anything.

But let's get back on topic: the video report. Unless I'm mistaken, the students protesting weren't high school kids chanting that they wanted free anything. They weren't freshmen. They were upperclassmen protesting a 2k increase in tuition.

One would think that someone with three degrees would find that atrocious. But of course, you didn't get three degrees did you.

[elspoko]

You would think with three degrees you would have atleast learned how to read comments on youtube. And I'm the one that looks like an asshole? Really? Is that what you try to pass as intelligence?

[werewolfman357]

WAKE UP PEOPLE! Nobody gives a shit about your sob stories. Inflations hits = A big "FUCK YOU" letter by the country you love. How great is America when you live like a bum with no future or prospects, huh? Stop fucking breeding, you animals - you are dooming your offspring. The place is getting overpopulated. There isnt enough work or opportunities to go around. Stop immigrants from flooding the place or there is only gonna be one equal standard of living for everyone including YOU - SHIT POOR.

[werewolfman357]

Proud Americans are proud slaves. All I see is how the government is turning people into mindless servants. Its funny because this is only the beginning. You people who still bitch havent even woken up yet. YOU HAVE NO FUTURE. They can spend 700 billion on the military but when they cut 1/2 a billion from the school system EVERYBODY gets ass raped. Tell me what the people are gonna do when they cant get jobs or an education to get a job. One answer- GET OUT OF THE SYSTEM. Otherwise youre DOOMED!

[werewolfman357]

Hah, this is the reason why I moved out of the US 5 years ago. I lived in LA. The country is going to shit. Freedom of speech? What does it get you? Youve only got the right to bitch. 12 people or even less on a board decide to tax your ass and 300,000 protesters cant do shit. They raise the bus fees and you cant do shit. That new idiot liar puppet president promises not to raise taxes but they get raised. Californians are getting taxed to death with no work and no prospects.

[joshrain1]

there are no jobs in america. no use going to universities @ this time. you are better off meditating and going in and raising your consciousness.

[Leonnidik]

Go study in Fidel Castro's Cuba, it's free!!!

[BertGriffin88]

Obama,

Here's an idea, instead of having the CIA, DOD contractors, Army personnel, State Dept workers, and God knows who else -give millions in bribe money to drug lords, war lords, etc in the Middle East - give it to college students and school teachers in America. It's time for the Pentagon, the Military, the CIA, the HLSD, and all these taxpayer funded groups to stop throwing our money away when we could better use it ourselves. The Republicans have stolen enough, it's time to give it back.

[trojanspaghetti]

here is an idea- give the money to the 10% of citizens who are unemployed and need to feed their elementary age kids- and screw college students who believe that higher ed is a right and something you actually need to put some effort into.

[BertGriffin88]

trojanspaghetti,

There are cargo planes of cash for poppy crops exchanged everyday. In the last 8years, the unemployed, the uninsured, the college students, the elementary school teachers, the hungry, the homeless, the 'etc' could have been covered. But our mostly Republican leadership has chosen otherwise. Literally tons of taxpayer dollars are handed out by our leadership while the very taxpayers providing the money go without. Whatever's going on, is good for everybody but the taxypayer.

[JoeDaPlumber]

Higher education should be a right to all natural born Americans. It creates a more educated population which might even attract more investment to our country.

[mrhoffame]

Doesn't MORE of any product or service devalue the service? Think about it...100 years ago a college degree meant you were big S*&T! Today...how valuable is a BA? What is the enrollment percentage, to population that is, today as compared to 100 years ago? Look it up... you will be more than shocked!

Let me know what you think. Please...a good conversation..no name calling crap.

[JoeDaPlumber]

I agree with that, its basic econ. But the point is shouldn't we have an educated population? Maybe that would deter the chances of another Bush getting elected?

In addition, yes, California sucks. I am a liberal and may vote Republican. These democrats have destroyed our state with their mass welfare and babying of illegal immigrants.

[baltimorejohn]

All these idiots helped cause this to themselves. I bet at least 95% of these liberals voted for Obama and the current administration. It's called inflation and this is only the begining. Thank Obama for cranking up the printing presses relentlessly and no sight of relief of inflating our currency. They don't want to tell these students that cause it would go against all the brain washing they did for all that hope and change. Enjoy your change!

[yoneiva]

hey close minded american, the increases would have occurred no matter who was elected president. how about you stop blaming everything that happens on Obama you idiot. He does not have the power you seem to think he does. There are many people involved in the decisions that are made in government. The president is more like a puppet than the all mighty powerful man you seem to think he is IDIOT Just because you don't go to college doesn't mean other people wouldn't like a chance at an education

[baltimorejohn]

First, Obama reappointed Ben Bernanke who's incharge of the federal reserve and hand choose Tim the tax cheat Geithner for Secretary of the Treasury. These two people right now are destroying the value of the dollar. Why the hell do u think gold is at a record high.

Second, I didn't qualify for any Obama bucks to pay for my education and don't really care to. I've learned more from working my ass off and educating myself than any brainwashing burnt out hippie teacher could teach me.

[Roonskii]

0:47 WTF is that on a college campus!!!

[manilaenglish]

It's so much easier to simply boycott the school. There's no need to spend your days shouting and holding a sign. Just find another school or take a semester or 2 off as a collective and hurt them where it counts.. Easy solution. What are you getting so worked up about?

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Student body governments are worthless.

Think about it.

UCLA is a liberal college, I went there and it was horrible. The fucking hippies.

The less people that can go there, the fucking better.

[gregwi562]

flunked out of UCLA, eh?

Is that why you are so bitter???

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

graduated. YOU FUCKING BITCH.

I'm working on a third gderee right now at the university of Arizona.

Take that you punks ass.

[JoeDaPlumber]

Not U of Phoenix?

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

hell no.

[gregwi562]

L - I -A - R !!!!!!!!!

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

L-I-A-R = O-B-A-M-A

[gregwi562]

Actually You would be the liar....saying you have 3 degrees, yet you waste your time all day on YT. You are bullshitting even if you say you have one.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

I got all fucking day to be on youtube.

In class, in my dorm.

FUCKING ALL NIGHT MOTHER FUCKER.

WI-FI EVERYWERE I FUCKING GO.

[gregwi562]

Only in the basement of your parents house where you spend 95% of your day. Loser.

[TheLiberalssuckdick]

Hey, how dare you call me a liberal.

[JoeDaPlumber]

being a liberal isn't bad. I'm one and I haven't grown horns. I'm just a little more open minded regarding republicans. I won't dismiss a Republican for being a Bush lover

[dbviewer5]

Alot of these kids' parents probably voted for the liberal politicians who have spent us into oblivion, thus necessitating the fee hikes.

Just sit back and watch it all crumble.

It's too far gone to fix.

[REPOTAG]

Go home Juan.

You think education is expensive ?

You should try ignorance.

What you do is when you get out of class and on the weekends you put your funny hat on and clock in at McDonalds and actually work your way through school instead of demanding what is basically welfare payed for by natural citizens- some of whom have actually fought for the USA and worked hard to get our own kids educated and then have to see your ugly mug on TV demanding a handout

Fuck You.

[ThrdSonofSparda]

Seems like you're a victim of your own insult. It's obvious YOU failed at English, because that so called example is a text book example of a run on sentence. Nice going.

[REPOTAG]

You are just the kind of person we need in the labor force right now. So instead of being on the internet evaluating text comments on a message board, you should try going out and getting a job.

And that is no insult, it is reality- tell me California does not have the cheapest JC system in the country and yet the idiots are demanding a free ride at a UC ?

Get a fucking job are go sleep in the park and dumpster dive.

[ThrdSonofSparda]

Yeah, labor force....right. Just drop the argument man because you're WA~~YY behind. And I do have a job thank you very much. I work for a well known video game company in Southern California which I started after I graduated from U.C Davis. So if you're through being an annoying ass feel free to take up lessons in dumpster diving. Happy trails.

[trojanspaghetti]

students are lazy bums- pay your way.

if you cannot afford it maybe you are aiming too high- society does not owe your ass a free meal ticket.

i worked my way through college 100% lazy asses

[VAR1UM]

Tough but... realistic.

[RATBOY808]

Whine whine WHINE!!! If your smart enough to get into UCLA than you should be smart enough to get scholarships. I'm not complaining...I'm a grad student and I'll be paying more!

[VAR1UM]

its called INFLATION. Didnt think it was that hard to understand. I could figure that out on a GED... Plus it is California, they are knee deep in the shit when it comes to money.

[Octavian117]

Inflation doesn't account for 160% in 6 years. If it did, we'd have bigger problems than college tuition protests.

[VAR1UM]

you cant be serious.

please dont respond. if you havent gotten it already, you never will.

[VAR1UM]

again your a fucking moron to think inflation doesnt effect this. When the energy prices rise, what happens? Maybe you should look into what inflation means. It isnt just energy, its everything.

I really feel i need to give you an example.

Say im a farmer of corn. I use farm equipment that runs on petrol. Everything pretty much runs on that but ill try to simplify it. Cost of oil goes up. I have to raise my price so i dont cut my throat on the petrol i use.

The same ideal all around.

[Octavian117]

Calm...

Reread my post. Inflation certainly has taken place, I was only pointing out that inflation doesn't account for costs doubling (and then some) in just over a half decade.

Is corn (or any other virtually any other product) twice the price today as it was 6 years ago? No.

Even if you figure 7% annual inflation (which was this nation's highest; during the 1970s) we're only looking at a 50% compounded inflation.

Goodbye.

[VAR1UM]

r u serious? ever look at the price of bread for example? Milk? Hell, even cigarettes? you need to reevaluate your figures just a tad bit more to keep up. Inflation is a bitch, and you are an ignorant dubious anal agitator.

[VAR1UM]

thats one out of three. go on...

[VAR1UM]

since you think inflation is this big myth...

[ThrdSonofSparda]

There have been bigger problems undisclosed by what's seen on TV and in the print. Obviously you're unaffected by it so why care? If you have a free meal ticket paying for YOUR education, keep walking your pittance isn't needed here. But for the rest of the student body population @ all of the UC Campuses coming out of school over 20k in debt is not the promising start many of us are looking forward to.
