If there is anything I can't stand its pseudo radicals who have a knee jerk reaction to any criticism of Bill Clinton. What you didn't mention was the fact that he also bombed a medical factory in the Sudan without congress or the join chiefs approval, all on the day the Monica story broke. The guy was a liar, and a war criminal, in addition to being a reactionary.
This commentary is an example of what you can do with information. You can slant it to the left or you can slant it to the right. But if you have a brain in your head you can see throught the bias. Use your brain when you view this video.
oh and in the future people will be losing their everything, their cars, home, clothes, mostly everyone, America will end up like that of a 3rd world country. things will get quite interesting, riots, rebellion, a revolution once the dollar becomes more and more worthless. things will change greatly for the positive, but it won't be peaceful not by a long shot. there will be a great downsizing.
When I asked my father about the Great Depression, he said he enjoyed it. When I asked why, he said folks had no disposable income for entertainment: movies, dinner, vacations, etc. The lowest cost entertainment was folks gathering in an apartment and telling tales (stories). It was a time when folks had the time to talk with one another.
that might all be true- but hunger and not having a home to live in, or clothes on your back- or the basic things a person needs there is a problem which shouldn't be enjoyed.
America land of slavery was invented to DEMORALIZE the populace and drag to hell, because what you cant do anywhere else you can definitely do it here no matter how immoral it is!
Folks... only GIFT ECONOMY can help us - working out of passion/friendship is motivationg (look wikipedia, linux...). Let us work only for FREE AND let us claim FREE WATER, FREE FOOD, FREE LAND, FREE EDUCATION, FREE MEDICARE ...= OUR REAL BIRTHRIGHTS! No power, no money to the top of the hierarchic pyramid!
After watching a lot of your videos (which are very interesting and well made by the way), we will probably not agree on this, but I'll give it a go:)
A person who has to make a certain amount of money, living in a society with progressive income tax gets forced to work a lot for "free" to fund a society and political ideas which he opposes. It is not as easy to move to another country either, as most are the same these days.
In socialist Europe, many work almost 50% of the year as slaves!
Thank you for the compliment. Allow me to deconstruct and reply to your comment.
You assert folks work for "free" due to taxation. Your analysis is that people do not receive any benefit from sending tax money to governments. This would seem to be your argument whether taxes are progressive or not.
In America, I agree with you because over 60% of the Federal Budget is devoted to Imperial war to guarantee markets, resources and low wages labor for American corporations. While the costs of Empire are socialized (i.e. socialism), the profits flow to a select few capitalists. It's socialism for the rich and capitalism for the rest of us. In short, Americans receive absolutely nothing for their tax dollars.
The countries of Western Europe spend very little on the Imperial colonization of the world. Therefore, these countries have plenty of tax revenue available to spend on the four most important issues: (1) health care (2) affordable housing (3) affordable public transportation (4) excellent free education through university, and much more.
Therefore, Europeans receive great benefits for their tax money. This gives Europeans a sense of Solidarity.
Your 4 golden issues are definitely important to any society, and a large portion of the European taxes go to these functions, and we are very grateful to our governments for this.
However, a lot of our tax money go to social benefits to the "poor", a noble, but unfair deed. Don't get me wrong. I value the care for the poor as much as anyone else, but not to poor hustlers AVOIDING work because they are lazy. In Europe, and Norway in particular, this is a HUGE problem.
A lot of the immigrants coming in here, simply AVOID work, because it is just as beneficial to sit at home compared to working for them. When I have to give up my Caribbean vacation, due to the funding of social welfare for these people, is where I draw the line!
This was not my experience in Holland. Racism was invented in Europe, yet they can't see their racism. As foreigner, I lived in an Amsterdam ghetto for foreigners called the Bijlmermeer. The Dutch would not employ people of color - Indonesians, Indians (from Surinam), Africans, Turks, Iranians & Arabs. Neighbors who were respectable family men had always been refused work for 10 or 15 years. The Dutch invented capitalism & pay benefits to keep aggregate demand high. The only bums were Dutch.
If you Google international income tax rates, you will find Americans paid about 40% (39.76%) in 2006. Nine OECD countries paid a lower rate. Norway, England, Greece & Poland paid the same rate as the US (40%). Eight countries paid from 42% to 48.5%. Eight countries paid from 50% to 59.74%.
I lived for 8 years in Holland with a 52% tax rate. Life was very good in terms of the 4 key issues referred to in Part III. The Dutch person don't complain about high taxes. They see a return.
These statistics lie about the true picture. The real scenario plays out differently, because a much bigger portion of the middle class (fex. singles) are affected by this tax-slavery. This is also a more intricate tax system.
Taxation in Norway and Holland is MUCH more unfair compared to fex. Texas. If you make 1500$ a month here on top of fex. 6500, they take about half of it in tax, and I do not think they know how much people bleed to make last 1500. They certainly don't make if for fun.
Right on, Hogan. I like when people bring their personal experience in to arguments. This, facts aside, is the real convincing part of the argument for me, whereas the so called "moral" arguments generated by think tanks are lacking. The people who propagate that garbage have never lived what they preach. You do a good service brother.
Hey mike, I have now been watching your videos on youtube for a week or so. I can honestly say this is the most informative and educational channel on youtube I have come across.
Indeed "Bowling for Columbine" is a must see documentary. We often have a simplitic solution for problems that do not solve the root causes, the media-tainment seldom take the time to examine issues in depth.
Also, social programs have a cost that is easy to measure(and complain about), but the cost of not having them is usually much higher but unseen. Its similar with polution, the unseen but staggering cost is dumped on society
I really like your videos. Do you write them out beforehand, or do you just speak off of the cuff? Also, what was your opinion of the interview with Marilyn Manson? Do you agree with his thoughts on fear and consumption?
Normally, I do everything extemporaneously spontaneously & expressively. Occasionally, I use a few notes. Modern Slavery was done without notes. i usually work it out in my head beforehand. I was a peddler in life, so I am used to thinking as I am ranting.
Marilyn Manson was great. I do agree completely with his thoughts on fear & consumption. Consumption also has to do with buying an identity in an alienated world where folks have their identities stripped from them.
If there is anything I can't stand its pseudo radicals who have a knee jerk reaction to any criticism of Bill Clinton.

PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX is another good example of modern, well disguised slavery in my opinion.
