  • I really like your videos, they cover everything :)

  • In Germany, taxes and dues on income are much higher than in the US. I can't see us doing worse for it. Our big business CEOs and the rich whine and yammer about the costs just like Americans do, but they want to tell us that copying the American model will be a good idea to improve the country. Somehow, in recent months they've fallen conspicuously silent.

    But it seems blaming the poor and agitating against them via tabloid papers is still an international sport.

  • @blackwolf1200 Much of Europe recognizes that government is a mix of capitalist incentives for business success and individual opportunity, along with social reposnsiblities. Conservative capitalists have always railed against taxation for any common good, such as a "right" to health care services. Perhaps the silence stems from the recession caused by egregious capitalist practices. Many Americans have yet to accept that run-away, unregulated capitalism will never result in the greater good.

  • Clone 2012. :P

  • It may not mean that we're all idiots, but it does mean that we are intellectually lazy and that we prefer to hear only what supports what we really want to believe.

  • @curlew0609 It begs the question, where do facts come into play anymore? Thanks so much for watching.

  • @huckfinn22 yep

  • what the...? I dont get politics

  • @musicloveschocolates Don't feel too badly, considering the frightening number of Republicans elected in the last election, I'd say many Americans share your confusion. Thanks for watching.

  • @huckfinn22 your welcome :) I like how youa re taking the time to home school clone ;D DEDICATION!

  • LOL!!! Hilarious satire Huck.

    I've read in the U.S. we graduate 50,000 Engineers a year. However, China is now graduating 2,000,000 (I repeat) Two Million Engineers per year.

    So, where do you think Apple & Microsoft get most of their new employees??

    Oops! I think we might be in trouble.

  • @goog2k That really puts China's sudden economic development into perspective, doesn't it? I fear the push for global free trade opens up massive opportunities for profit for large companies and Wall Street but spells equally massive hardship for our rapidly shrinking middle class, not to mention those lower on the economic ladder in America. Dare I say it? Tarriffs in the short term and an all-out restructuring of education in America may be our only hope.

  • @huckfinn22 I don't know what the solution is.

    American corporations got RICH off America for 60 years since WWII.

    Now all most international corporations only care about deregulation, dodging taxes, short term profits and BIG BONUSES!

    A lot of Corps. like Halliburton & Transocean have renounced U.S. citizenship and moved phantom headquarters overseas

    GE had $14.1 billion profits last year but paid "0" income tax.

    Goldman Sachs made $2 Billion from Tarp, paid 1% tax.

    It's Corporate Plutocracy!

  • hi there,

    nice dialogue

    Question: what software did you use for thise vid?

    Love & Madness

    Thashorty from Themylifevlog

  • @thashorty Thanks, I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio Platinum 9 which seems to have many, not all, of the tools you might want, but which I am merely scratching the surface of understanding and implementing. The clone cookie cutter tool is among the easiest tools to use. Thanks!

  • OMG! Massachusetts is head and shoulders above the rest! Say it ain't so! My wife teaches 4th grade in a MA regional school and it seems that nearly the entire 4th grade is filled with idiots. In Massachusetts, we have MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System) which links graduation with test results. Teacher performance is somehow becoming connected with the test too. So many teachers here are teaching the test or just plain cheating. They ain't all that smart. God help us!

  • @Denb7 The USA Today recently ran a series of stories on how teachers and administrators in many school districts are cheating on proficiency tests to assure that their schools score well. Hopefully, this is not a widespread problem, but there are huge challenges facing schools today and schools are hard-pressed to show progress despite the obstacles thrown at them. I can't help but feel the biggest hurdle starts at the homes of students for most of these problems, but I just dunno.

  • @huckfinn22 I 100% agree. Most problems with today's education stem from home. Parents don't value education and it takes a back burner to sports, dance class, karate classes, etc. Several of my wife's students are regularly pulled from school to go on vacations (usually a week before the scheduled school vacations) or to drive south and see a NASCAR race. Who's priorities are those? Secondly, many of today's parents aren't as well educated themselves. It's scary!

  • Huck, the younger you act, the younger you look. Lookin good bro.

  • @Grevlo I will have to remember that on my next date. Thanks!

  • I love the chemistry between you and you LOL it's hilarious

  • @KelanDWood Thanks. I hope Clone is developing by now his own distinct personality, since we look and sound so much alike.

  • haven't been on your channel for awhile, and this video is so true. My hated subject is math

  • @MvsicStvdio We share the same hatred for math.

  • That was actually a well worded video. You must be a teacher, right?

  • @erasse11 Thanks. I attended Kent State where I majored in English, Drama, Journalism and Speech in Secondary Education, but no, I never taught school. I taught drama classes in theater and have worked many years as a news reporter and sports columnist. Thanks for the kind compliment.

  • I hate... school in general. I do well, but I hate it. I'm bored! And when I am challenged, it only makes me more frustrated because it's boring, and hard, requiring more thought. What do I do instead? Honestly, nothing worthwhile. Youtube. Tv. Although I'm not too bad at procrastinating. I always get everything done. I just dislike doing it. I wish I could ENJOY and be motivated by good grades. But I don't. I graduate in seven weeks, and I'm trying hard to keep caring. But it's hard.

  • @erasse11 A lot of smart kids have this problem. School is often boring because the teachers or their lessons aren't interesting or relevent. I used to challenge myself to be creative beyond the mere requirements. I found ways to make assignments original and challenging. Instead of just a report on Shakespeare's sonnets, I wrote a first-person account as told by the mystery youth spoken of in some of the verses. My efforts kept me stimulated and always earned top grades. Just a suggestion.

  • @erasse11 I wish I could switch places with you. I miss school and all of the "boring" things I used to have to do.

  • Comment removed

  • @ixangelxkissesxi I suggest you go back to my video titled You Dun Goofed, or my very first video, Hi, I'm Huck, or perhaps Ugly insults. I think you will enjoy those a lot. Thanks!

  • lol nice

  • @Weegician Thanks for watching!

  • Haha progressive

  • @antsunii Thanks for watching!

  • @aguarras21 useless troll... Mah, you'll die stupid.

  • this is shit

  • @aguarras21 Another birther, I presume?

  • l;ol back to politricks/politics lol all subs except english

  • @alanzo44 Like Clone, you need to widen your interests a bit, I guess. But English was also my best subject, too.

  • l;ol back to politricks/politics lol

  • #LOL

    hey i'm homeschooled!!

  • @808carly You and Clone have something in common. Thanks for watching!

  • One of these days, someone is going to figure out that all my trips to the nurse and the restroom are during math and science classes ... haha ... true.

  • @wenuplay lol

  • I don't think Clone could do any worse. Let him pursue his new dream.

  • @lekocafe I hope you're right, though doing no worse is not comforting ... lol.

  • Good Job Huck!!!

  • @FallonBunch Thanks! I'm just wondering how far Clone is gonna take this crazy idea.

  • Clone for president. lol. Reminds me of the book: "the kid who ran for president"

  • @318Captain I will have to check that one out. Thanks for the tip and for watching!

  • nice video, huck! :)

    

  • @tzmidula716 Thank you for watching. And stay tuned, I think Clone is serious about this.

  • I hope you let Clone go to the bathroom when he needs to.....

  • @DrTazMage Of course, but I removed the Sports Illustrated magazines from the bathroom and replaced them with the current issue of Scientific American ... ; )

  • I took Latin in the 9th grade. It was ok at first, but one day, I had to go to the bathroom and the teacher wouldn't let me. I peed my pants that day....and hated that class from that time on and eventually failed it....this was back in the '70s and it still haunts me to this day....

  • @DrTazMage This story reminds me of a girl I liked in fourth grade. She asked to go to the restroom and was told no. She suffered the same embarrassing fate, and I remember clearly how some kids teased her and laughed as she covered her arms over her head on her desk and wept. I think it was several days before she returned to school after that. My mom always told me and my brother that after asking, we were to go to the restroom even if denied permission, because this happened to her, too.

  • Hooray for MA. also, great video.

  • @metroid0925 I second that Hooray. Thanks!

  • yessss, new video! love ya Huck

  • @arceusex Trying very hard to post one each week. Thanks!

  • i hated chemistry and math.....

  • @greenfuzz15reloaded Clone agrees and adds that science and math hate him back.

  • "I use emotion for the many, and reserve reason for the few" - Hitler (and how he came into power)

    This is exactly what's going on. Politicians are yelling and screaming their armageddon point of view because the FEEL it's right, instead of KNOWING it's right. Then, of course, they use controversial subjects like abortion, gays, and so on to make you pay attention to one hand while they smack you with the other (or pull from your pocket book).

    Clone for president!

  • @GreatEighthSin Now you've done it. You've gone and given Clone encouragement! If you thought Trump is a character, I can only imagine a Clone campaign. stay turned.

  • @Vista151 The main point of the video, other than an intro to Clone's future political plans, is simple. Somewhere in all the accusations and claims thrown out in the media, on the Internet, even here on YouTube, somewhere there are actual reporters accredited by a university who dig for the truth. If you are getting information elsewhere, check their sources. There is a reason newspapers don't print this stuff. Reporters get fired when they can't verify sources or fabricate them. Pretty simple.

  • that was great huck! this video makes me believe some Americans may perhaps put their country back on tracks... for the sake of the world.

  • @Ashtraygal The overwhelming majority of Americans are progressive in their attitudes. Most believe the rich need to be taxed a bit more than they have been, that large corporations and banks have been getting their way on tax breaks and deregulation and that government needs to protect Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, and ensure safe standards for water, air, food and drugs. It's just that most Republicans aren't aware that the Republicans they elect are against these same things.

  • @huckfinn22 this is crazy... I feel lucky to live in a country where I can get surgery almost for free, protest, talk to politicians and get answers, where there's a real debate on how things should work... I'm not saying it's perfect but at least, things are moving in a good direction. By the way, is there a real socialist party in the united states (and I mean socialist not communist)? And where does this confusion between the two come from? maybe you could do another video on that.

  • @Ashtraygal Political parties include the Green Party, Socialist Party, Communist Party, Libertarian Party, and others, but they collectively field candidates in just a few races each year and on Presidential ballots in some states, never garnering many votes. This stems from the two major parties effectively excluding them from public debates and cold war-bred stigmas. Vermont U.S. Senator Barry Sanders is a self-described Democratic Socialist. Great video idea -- thanks!

  • @huckfinn22 thanks Huck I'll definitely be looking forward for that one :). My family has been socialist for decades, maybe even centuries. I really don't understand the crazy thought that it equals communism. I'll be checking more about american parties.

  • Hopefully, Clone has both the software receipt and completed the registration form, you never know what states are going to require these days to run for office. More than 25 Republican states are working on birther laws to force Obama off the ballot. Republicans will do anything to get power. Anything.

  • nice, enjoyed the video!

  • @IanPoulterFan2010 Thanks. From time to time, Huck gets wound up and touches upon stuff that some of his viewers find controversial, or maybe liberal is the word. But he said in the very beginning, his very first video, that he would always tell the truth, wherever that may take him. Hopefully, he does it in a way even those who disagree may find entertaining. Which reminds me. Gotta check to see if you're out golfing yet.

  • @Vista151 Anyone can create a website. If you look closely at all those sites, they inevitably lead back to the same illigitimate sources or support their claims with no documented sources at all. This is why we are taught how and why to cite sources in our research papers in high school and college. Case in point, author Ann Coulter makes all kinds of outrageous claims in her books, but in checking her sources, they are completely taken out of context or just plain made up!!! Amazing, really.

  • cool video huck, keep it up :')

  • @DeeTeeTV Thanks, Tristan. Gotta get this greenscreen working soon, the lighting is just killing me.

  • @Vista151 Any laws signed by Obama (first approved by Congress) are deemed unconstitutional, our conservative Supreme Court will rule them so and invalidate them, one of their chief duties. And are you aware that Hawaii University records show Obama's father and mother took classes there through the year of Obama's birth with his mother transfering to Seattle a month after giving birth to enroll at Washington U. while Obama Sr. completed his degree work in Hawaii in June 1962. Google Ann Dunham

  • @huckfinn22 30%, not 300% ... sorry for the typo.

  • @Vista151 Just for the sake of argument, maybe you could cite the original source for these claims? Where you get your information is just as important as the information itself. The fact is, every Democrat elected or nominated for President the past 50 years has been the target of these kinds of smear campaigns. Kerry and the swiftboaters, Clinton and a trail of dead bodies. Do you see a pattern here?

  • @Huckfinn22 YOUR AWESOME MAN LETS GET HIGH!!

  • @MrLegalizeweed Thanks for taking a moment out of your day of celebration to watch! lol

  • PARTY HARD GUYS!

  • ITS 420 WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

  • Huck, it's 420!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • I can do chemistry just fine without calculus. Fuck higher math, its almost entirely useless if you don't plan to work for NASA. I've even talked to pharmacists and they all told me how much math they had to take, but when they are honest they admit how little of it they actually use. I think it would be a lot easier if we would abandon that moronic amerikan standard shit and just adopt metrics.

  • @bamboo4tameshigiri As an English and Communications major, myself, I am not about to challenge the pros and cons of America's mathematics curriculum. It is what it is, and for me, that means it's a migraine headache waiting to happen.

  • are you spilt personality?

  • @FruittisMaris If I could split my personality, I'd only keep the best part. Alas, I'm stuck with the whole thing.

  • curse you Huck Finn for making me better observe the obvious

  • @jeremiahiixx YEAH ITS 420!

  • @jeremiahiixx Thanks so much!

  • That clone is gonna go far in politics, I assure you.

  • @aelix56 lol ... thanks for watching. We'll be checking in on Clone's plans in future episodes.

  • It seems that the technology age maybe ending due to the economic destruction of America. Perhaps all those kids need to start learning survival skills and a real trade maybe like manufacturing, masonry or electricity/solar. I fear for America's future.

  • @drewstarr71 SMOKE WEED ITS 420 YEAH !

  • @drewstarr71 Despite all the doom and gloom, America continues to lead the world economically, due to its GDP which dwarfs all other nations and its relatively stabile system of government. Three decades of lower tax revenues including tax cuts and astounding corporate tax breaks (Corporations paid more than 300% of all taxes in 1960, today they pay under 7%) and a long history of massive defense spending need to be addressed as do the rate of health care cost increases. Thanks for watching!

  • @huckfinn22 That because the FED has been printing and printing, while the government keep borrowing and borrowing.......the end of the road I fear is near,,,,,

  • @drewstarr71 The borrowing has been largely to finance an endless stream of expensive wars on top of an already bloated military budget. We could trim defense in half if we kept our boys home. For the past 35 years the word "TARIFF" has been mistaken for "TREASON," and as a result where we used to employ 80% of men in the U.S., we now employ 46%. Jobs that are created are low-wage. Slap a 22% tariff on products once made here but now elsewhere and raise tax rates on the top 20 percent. Solved.

  • @huckfinn22

    Wars are way to profitable for the right people, they will never realty end. I highly recommend the book "the shock doctrine" by Naomi Klein..if you have not read it already

  • @Hexdoll I was shocked when Reagan increased the defense budget to $350 billion annually, a 33% increase from Carter. Now it is at $700 billion not including the wars themselves!!! The top 100 defense contractors earned $130 billion last year led by Lockheed Martin with $16.7 billion, Northrop with $11.1 billion and Boeing with $10.4 billion. This doesn't include companies like Halliburton who profit as well. War has become America's most expensive jobs program. I will check out that book. : )

  • Nice video :)

  • @FragMag1000 Thanks!
