Lautenberg: we got to eliminate the rich??

[thomasward00]

Spreading the Wealth to the Democrats means stealing from White Taxpayers and giving handouts to hordes of Lazy Minorities that always vote Democrat....

Those days are quickly coming to an end

[MisterHappyGoLucky]

Is the guy who uploaded this video an idiot?? You see I am merely asking a question now, so it makes all of the difference. Somebody has been watching Fox "News" and thinks nobody will notice the underhanded tactic I guess. Pathetic.

[okrabay]

we need to eliminate all politicians

[Namarie88]

"And it's a tough fight, but we've got to eliminate the waste, we've got to eliminate the fraudulent practice, the expanded things that have no value and the --"

3. He quotes Warren Buffett who may be super-rich but is still an ass-clown. He needs to pay more taxes just like that other moron.

[djv143]

2. He is still stoking the tried and true fire of class warfare yet he arrives in a chauffeur driven limousine. He is a hypocrite just like that other moron.

[djv143]

OK ...for the liberals ...again you miss the point...or points...lets go through them shall we?

1. It is difficult to understand him because he is a muttering, stuttering old fool. He needs a teleprompter like the other moron.

[MisterHappyGoLucky]

@djv143 Lautenberg is not at all hard to understand. It is obvious he is not saying "rich". This should not be a matter of left vs. right. It is a matter of those who hear what they want to hear vs. those who actually can hear exactly what Lautenberg is saying which is indeed "waste". Why are you making excuses for this smear campaign?

[dlucas90]

Stealing from thieves won't solve the problem of theft.

The billionairs are billionairs because of govt. bailiouts and because the govt. allows banks to create money from nothing and then hands it out through juicy govt. contracts.

Therefore, taxing billionairs is like having the govt. take money out of their left hand and then puttting it back into their right hand. All it ends up doing is making the billionairs all the more influential in how the govt. spends.

End the "fed".fraud factory.

[petulia67]

that distracting red lettering. Why don't you remove the video if it perpetuating a lie.

[petulia67]

He clearly said eliminate the waste. It is clear evrn with

[PalloneNotForNJ]

The video has been updated, after closer examination. 

[StinkFingerr]

I think he said "I have to eliminate my waist ". He's weight conscious.

[ladylordess]

What has stopped you from paying more already? I guarantee that this man took advantage of every tax advantage and write off that came his way.

They sure can run their mouths, but they don't know how to write a check.

[ducksmasher11]

LIBEL SUIT! good job PALLONENOTFOR NJ!!!

[K3koaScott]

I heard "eliminate the waste"... You should be working for fox news, they love liars like you.

[hecatia]

Great example of physchological manipulation. We pay more attention to our sight than our hearing, so overlaying the words "we got to eliminate the rich" on the video when you can clearly hear him say "we got to eliminate the WASTE" actually fools some people. Slow clap. Goebbels would be proud!

[MisterHappyGoLucky]

Lol. It sounds like he says at about 1:08 "We've got to eliminate the WASTE" not "RICH"! Total fail dude. You're putting words in Lautenberg's mouth. What a cheap shot!

[schott925]

WASTE HE SAYS WASTE NOT RICH!!!! Unreal but just typical. PalloneNotForNJ I am calling you out. You owe everyone an appology. How can you defend this. Fucking moron. He says waste not rich. . .its so easy to hear that. Why must you lie??? Yes and guess what. Taxes for the rich are at an all time low. Obama wants to raise it to the same level that your great god Ronald Reagan had it at. But hey I guess Reagan was a commie right??

[jm51767]

@schott925

you are a real moron. have you ever worked a day in your life?

[drock5k]

WASTE.

[Vinodnj1978]

He said waste. Turn up your speakers and listen. It's quite easy to hear.

[decline2state]

He said, "We've got to eliminate the waste," not the "rich."

[captainpanic08]

It ways 'we got to eliminate the waste.' It's obvious. Turn up your speakers.

[themaclady]

SICK SICK COMMUNIST F*CK

[BoogaBoogaSmith]

Lautenturd is worth in excess of 55MILLION $, he is number 7 on the list of 50 Richest members of Congress at rollcall dot com. Hopefully he is serious about what he said and will eliminate himself first.

[doublerabbut]

Dishonest little right wingers! Anyone can tell he said waste! Why must the right lie to try to make its insipid points. TAX THE RICH MORE! I am sick of the whining and sniveling about how rich people have it rough. Boohoo...you guys getting richer and richer has shown to make jobs numbers go lower and lower...tax the crap out of the richest Americans before a permanent elite aristocracy ruins America.

[schott925]

@doublerabbut it is amazing. Did all these people on here not listen??? Its so clear what he says but these puppets go along with anything that matches their world view. . . Anyone care to respond and admit they were wrong?? OR ARE YOU ALL CRAVENS AND COWARDS.

Right wing gargabe as usual

[bulmer13]

eliminate the waste is what he said...I don't think we should raise taxes but this makes the poster look bad. Guys, let's keep it real on our side and not become the right's MSNBC. We're better than that.

[Xianman06]

Lautenberg is a Jew that isn't referring to himself when he says "eliminate the rich", it's for the goyim.

Welcome to the Jew World Order.

[nathanladams]

To be clear, he's an idiot for wanting to raise taxes. But I heard "waste" not "rich". Stupid versus stupid.

[11111110]

@nathanladams

So now the overwhelming majority of Americans are idiots for wanting the Bush tax cuts to expire. Great...

[larrybud]

I'm certainly no Lautenberg fan, but he said waste, not rich.

That said, he's more than free to send more money to the IRS.

[slbrewha]

@larrybud how does waste fit in with his train of thought? honestly, it was hard to tell the diff but his verbiage was about rich people & how they should pay more.

[nrn312]

I cunt hear you, I have an ear infucktion.

[AtlasObjectivist]

It's clear the countries goal in 2012 will be to vote the Democrats out.

[nathanladams]

Am I the only one who heard him say "waste" and not "rich"?

[georgechidi]

@nathanladams You are not. I heard "waste" as well. This is dirty pool, and conservatives are already trying to send it viral. PalioneNotForNJ, you're a lying cheap-trick artist. Shame on you.

[Scarlette0hara]

@nathanladams Yes you are right, it is waste not rich

[JTHELSTROM]

isn't Lautenberg the one who owned some dilapidated properties in NJ, and then was responsible for steering millions for redevelopment, which increased the value of the properties, then he sold them and walked away with millions in taxpayer dollars?

[the82spartans]

Well, what an argon ass this man is.

[LambdaKore]

So according to this P.O.S., any wealth you may possess is a gift of the government, not the result of your effort or good fortune, and since the government giveth, the government can taketh away.

[coltor9]

We need more CORPORATE JET OWNERS and LESS PUBLIC SCHOOLS says the GOP???

[sgtmajtom06]

As far as Democrats are concerned, a penny earned is a penny taxed.

[oilhammer04]

The Treasury will take your money if you really want to send it in. Rich Democrats who spout this tax-the-rich more can give more if they want to, but they set up foundations to keep the government from getting it. Also, they already have their money that isn't going to be taxed as income, so what they really want is to tax the productive, hard working business owners who are the backbone of the American economic system.

[StoogeWatcher]

Democrats hate the rich...unless it's Democrats like their Hollyweird friends.

[vonheston]

we got to eliminate the waste - ftfy

[lennyliebmann]

I also am skeptical about the assertion that he is actually saying "eliminate the rich." But it seems like Breitbart, Levin, et al have already taken this viral -- whether it is true or not.

[truthforamerica]

Another Marxist Democrat.

[Micheleeroo]

NO tax increase until the waste and fraud are rooted out! And we know THAT hasn't happened yet. He admits it!

[Micheleeroo]

Ok, let's explore this: if you eliminate the "rich", who will hire me? A guy making $20,000 a year? Not hardly, pilgrim. If Sen. Lautenburg thinks he's not paying enough in taxes, he should write a check for $500,000 right NOW. Go on, sir. We're waiting!

[11111110]

@Micheleeroo

I never understood that line of logic. What exactly would that solve?

[schott925]

@11111110 What line of logic is that??? Eliminating waste?? Because that's what he said. Fucking coward why don't you STFU before passing judgement on something you are 100% wrong on.

[11111110]

@schott925

I think you replied to the wrong post, as I have no idea why you're so mad. I was asking why he and others were calling for Lautenburg to give ALL his money to the government.

[theINwordShow]

I hate socialists asshats...but hand to god, I did not hear the old marxist say 'rich'--- I heard him say "waste' the first time and "fraudulent practices' the second.

[dbstooge]

Die of cancer you old piece of shit.

[StoogeWatcher]

@slbrewha You know Democrats. They love tax hikes, but refuse to pay their taxes.
