Heritage Foundation EPA Contest Entry: How to Kill Jobs and Harm the Economy

[superflyprofessor]

wow, racist and anti-gay sentiments from the fans. not a way to get more recruits!

And i have never seen anyone "parading" a "sex life" through disneyland. If you cringe when you see gay people holding hands or kissing, please dont leave your house. (no really, I think it's the best place for people like you --inside your house.)

[BNPPeace]

The Heritage Foundation is a giant propaganda machine. This is an organization whose goal is to turn the middle class against each other, while the rich enjoy ever greater wealth. The working people will either organize and demand money for education, health care, jobs and rebuilding our infrastructure or we will continue the decline and our descent into poverty. Then we will get all our information from the Heritage Foundation. They will tell us how lucky we are. Some.. will believe that.

[Bongofury361]

Onerous regulations...that may actually protect the health of the individual AND the planet?

Small gov't? Who-the-fuck is going to run the military to provide for a strong American defense? Why do conservatives profess to wanting gov't to stay out of their lives, except when it comes to their bedrooms...hmm?

It's the conservatives (curious name as that apparently does NOT apply to natural resources) who would allow big business to use the Earth as a toilet, all in the pursuit of money! Stupid!

[frogsoda]

@Bongofury361 "...run(ning) the military to provide for a strong American defense?" Is one of the few things the federal Gov't IS supposed to be doing. (you know, that "provide for the common defense line in the Constitution) and one of the things that always seems to get pushed aside when the D's are in charge.

And you will find that most cons want the gov't out of their bedrooms....and want people to leave their sex lives IN the BR. Not parading thru Disneyland.

[jdrobeck]

love it check out the video I made for this contest, its on my channel called rules

[pleaseSTFUnow]

Great video, great job Heritage! As usual you are spot on!

[elkellenhabla]

Kill jobs and harm the economy. That sounds like a good way to get reelected. The Heritage foundation certainly doesn't represent the view of major industry that aims to make millions with no concern for the impact it has the world

[wishihadagun28]

@elkellenhabla you take double meaning out of it. Its anti political, not anti industry. I dont know what you mean.

[superfly72]

Great Video! I'm so glad that Heritage stepped up to the plate with these videos to wake up the general population!

[HeritageFoundation]

@superfly72 Thanks!

[treid100182]

Awesomely retarded.

[Alvin691]

Awesome!

[uhclem50]

Just a bunch of crazy right wing propaganda.

[mcap52]

@uhclem50 Well how about you enlighten us all with the "truth"about cap and tax?Tell us how it is going to create jobs!!!Maybe you could use a couple European countries as examples since they have done so well.We will be waiting.

[miazagora]

@mcap52 But Congress SAYS it will create jobs! They wouldn't LIE would they?

[NiemandBinich]

@uhclem50 Now there's a fact laden rebuttal we've all come to expect from the left.

[Hellpig]

"How to Kill Jobs and Harm the Economy " yeah you elect a treasonous commie progressive for POTUS

[angin0110]

As a lifelong fisherman, i find trollmasters title comical......trolling requires certain skills......skills not readily apparent

[rubyredlipstick71]

Liberals who spew their garbage should just carry a tape recorder around. Hit play then rewind, and hit play again.. It's the same old message, over and over and ove..... r.. boring.

Great video... always shut up the voice of reason is liberals motto. We need real solutions, not cap and oops, it's not that now, it's Americas Power Act now.. aka.. same dung, different name. =)

[alcasselbooks]

Stop Big Brother NOW!

[13otany13ay]

Ha, yeah, the Heritage Foundation must know how to keep government small and efficient. After all it was their lobby work for the oil corporations that brought you both, the Afghanistan and the Iraq War, that costed taxpayers a mere ONE TRILLION DOLLAR. Add to that Offshore Drilling and the recent oil spill and what do you get?

Thats right - True Fiscal Conservativism.

YEEEEHHAAWW!!!!!!!

[puddleglumm]

Great!

[neojournalist]

Right, because companies like BP should not be regulated.

Fuck off, you're trying to kill us all.

Most of us are sick and tired of getting shot in the face.

That's why you keep losing elections....

[mercednative]

ugh white people

[Donnybrook10]

The solution: When a liberal starts flapping their lips, slap them until they shut up.

[bannedbyMusloons]

First of all I have no clue as to why Idiots such as TrollMaster post utter rubish that this video is an endorsement to Big Oil or anything like that. It's basically just another one of their idiotic trump cards like the Race card for example.

[daeclipse03]

We need to be independent of foreign oil but not at the expense of our entire middle class and economy!!

[faithfulpassion]

Dont forget the latest bill before the Senate- Illegal to grow your own food. Just what we need MORE government control. Do you guys not see the writing on the wall?? When is enough regulation enough??

[Leoparrish]

"A founding cause of Americas financial woes can be traced back to when Illinois Attorney Barack Obama filed a class action lawsuit against the banking industry on July 6, 1994 which led to all the strong arming and forcing banks to give out risky loans... Case name Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank Fair Housing/Lending/Insurance Docket / Court 94 C 4094 (N.D. Ill.) FH-IL-0011 State/Territory Illinois." Look it up...Sam

[HereinLasVegas]

@Leoparrish You can go back farther than that, Carter's Community Reinvestment Act for starters. Remember all of the supposed "red lining" lawsuits in the 80's? Clinton put the CRA on steroids in the 90's

[Wuptdo206]

Great video. Certainly beats the lies coming out of Obama & Company.

[Orlandomark1]

I think this video is swell

[usmc7242]

@Orlandomark1 GOLLY!

me too!

[Winterfairy777]

how to kill jobs and harm economy...that is easy= vote for Barak Obamanero and his gang again.

[Trollmaster21]

We're now seeing how less regulation caused this massive oil spill that could have been prevented if we didn't listen to scum like this.

And building windmills, solar panels, and mass transit will create a ton of jobs. The Heritage Foundation would hate to see this happen and see the economy boom again under Obama's watch. A booming economy at this time would do permanent damage to the GOP since they're not in power and unable to take the credit.

[samuils]

@Trollmaster21 It was already mandated to have the safety valves that failed, so lack of regulations had nothing to do with oil spill, but carelessness on the part of the company. And government doesnt create jobs, considering that all they do is take from private sector. Cap and trade will do nothing but make some people rich and the rest very very poor. Windmills and solar panels are too expensive an not yet reliable

[Trollmaster21]

@samuils then either you're wrong on accident or wrong on purpose because you have to ignore the facts that show otherwise to justify your position.

The mathematical equivalent of what you said about lack of regulations, would be like you trying to make the point that 2+2=117.

[samuils]

@Trollmaster21 Right so when energy becomes so expensive and I quote "Under my cap and trade plan the energy costs will necessarily sky rocket" - Obama. I suppose this "math" makes no sense to you. And if it doesnt, then maybe you should look it up again. Trading certificates for invisible clouds does nothing but makes consumers poor. Do you honestly think that "evil" energy companies will just take the hit? Or maybe they will pass expense to consumers.

[Trollmaster21]

@samuils and it's natural that you say what you said about windmills and solar panels, because the oil industry will lose a ton of money if we started the switch to renewable energy.

Also you're unaware of tech breakthroughs. If we left the advancement of computers to your kind we'd still have 2 gig hard drives.

We can start this switch now or 20 years from now. Since you side with the status quo who profits off not being efficient, it's natural that you oppose green technology.

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 There is no such thing as "renewable" energy, that term defies all of physics. Catchy phrase though but phony just like everything else about liberalism, er I mean marxism.

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas Then the only point you make here is your ignorance by denying that solar and wind is renewable. What will you say for an encore? The Village People are really straight?

The best defense against Marxism would have been competent, respected, and trustworthy GOP leadership. They should have seen that if they acted like corrupt assholes, that they'd get voted out and replaced by those that are not vigilant against this evil communist boogie man your kind are now so afraid of.

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 History begs to differ on what you so ignorantly refer to as a "evil communist boogie man" Gov. screwels have really done their job well with a completely ill informed couple of generations.

As for the best defense against communism/marxism/socialism, it hasn't been used, yet.

[daeclipse03]

@HereinLasVegas key word YET!! I believe they are still in the stages of creating your socialist utopia for you where you get to sit home on your ass and live off the government.. I bet your already doing that while you scream at MSNBC every night saying those evil rich people don't pay enough in taxes to " support " me.. am i close yet?

[HereinLasVegas]

@daeclipse03 Huh??

[HereinLasVegas]

@daeclipse03 You really need to go back and re read what I posted.

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas The USSR was an evil empire just like Reagan said. America does not need incompetent and corrupt Republicans to protect us from communism.

And if anything the GOP's endorsement of robber baron capitalism is what creates socialist tendencies among people. Do you guys think the gap between the rich and everyone else can keep on growing and people won't see this as a problem?

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 You're right, we need another Reagan, a real Repulican.

WE need real Republican's to defreat the new USSR Obama

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas and ironically what's going on with the GOP is very much what happened to the Commies in the USSR. As both are top heavy, corrupt, incompetent, bloated and worthless. Russia gave the Commies the boot and within the coming years America will give the GOP the boot as we the people vote them out of existence.

Go form a legitimate conservative 3rd party and stop being used by the GOP who is nothing close to conservative. That's the best use of your energies right now.

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 I don't need your advise on how to best spend my energies, 3rd party right, troll.

Getting paid by Axelrod?

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas as long as your kind in the GOP give Americans the false choice between communism and corrupt as all fuck Republicans you're not giving America any reason to vote for the Republican party.

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 In case you haven't noticed, the whole Gov. is corrupt, it needs to be flushed and replaced with good, HONEST Contitutional people.

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas A perfect case on why America needs a 3rd party then. Only an idiot would say a return to corrupted GOP leadership is any kind of an answer.

[daeclipse03]

@Trollmaster21 I agree we need a third party thats not tied into the Washington system however you think the GOP are any more corrupt than the DEMS. Isn't anyone getting it.. They are all the same. Unless we stand up to the system it doesn't matter who is in charge. We need less government not more.. Let the free market be fucking FREE and the citizens free to do as they please and be held accountable for their actions not the collective whole as the socialists on the left want!

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas And I'm all for Bill Halter beating the corporatist Democrat Blanch Lincoln in the primaries for this very reason. There are many incumbents on both sides that need to go.

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas You can take my advice about helping build a 3rd party, (or support more independents who are not in a party) or you can continue to be a shill for the worst kind of incompetence and corruption the GOP has to offer.

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 LOL, you're an idiot. I said we need HONEST Contitutional people in office, don't care what you call the party.

BTW, you never answered what caused the last ice age to end? What's the matter, does that question sizzle what's left of your brain cells?

[Trollmaster21]

@HereinLasVegas you told 2 big whopper lies. The oil spill had nothing to do with lax regulation and there's no such thing as renewable energy.

Please give me a good laugh and tell me another whopper like....The Republican party stands for high morals, fiscal responsibility, and strong leadership.

Please say that and make yourself a laughing stock for yet a 3rd time.

[bannedbyMusloons]

@Trollmaster21: You do give credit to your name don't you? Specially with your inane argument that there is no such thing such as renewable energy sources. Yes because Wind and solar energy has to be be mined just like Coal and Oil and all fossil fuels and pollute just as much. (10,000 LBS of Sarcasm)

[djangothecat]

@bannedbyMusloons - Do you know how many solar panels you need to power a city for a day. No wind farm has yet even powered 10% of any city in the world. Do you know how much OIL you need to produce all of those propellers and solar panels. Not to mention what you do on cloudy days with no wind. You ARE a troll.

[djangothecat]

@djangothecat - That comment was meant for Trollmaster.

[bannedbyMusloons]

@djangothecat: OH then you replied to the wrong party then.

[Trollmaster21]

@djangothecat Denmark right now gets 20% of it's energy from wind power. Don't expect the Heritage Foundation to tell you this.

The costs are projected to decline even more as technology improves, and this is very important because most of the cost with wind power is in manufacturing. Once the wind turbines are in place there is little cost to maintain and wind power is free.

[daeclipse03]

@Trollmaster21 do you have any idea how much it costs to put in place the amount of wind turbines needed to power our country?? Not to mention do you realize who is making the turbines because most of them are not manufactured here in America. The steel company I worked for had a huge contract to make bearings for the wind turbines and after the stimulus was passed LITERALLY right after.. we lost all our contracts.

[daeclipse03]

@bannedbyMusloons so what would happen if we get rid of all of our evil coal and oil companies in the world?? Since most of everything we consume in a day has traces of oil in it how do you suppose we make products?? Are you willing to walk 20 miles everyday to work or should we all live in run down cities? Lets all go back to the dark ages to save mother earth from a made up global warming!

[Trollmaster21]

@bannedbyMusloons wind and the sun generating energy are renewable. However I understand since you're a whore for the oil industry that you have to make up a bunch of bullshit.

Wind and the sun have to be mined? Are you making those on the right look stupid on accident or on purpose?

[bannedbyMusloons]

@Trollmaster21: Hey A-hOLE You are the one that suggested that there are no such things such as RENEWABLE energy sources I was being sarcastic at your idiocy.

[onvogmasaj]

@bannedbyMusloons do not feed the troll plzkthxbai

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 Sorry, but energy by definition cannot be renewed, it can be replaced but not renewed. The only regulations that were relaxed on BP lately were the ones done by obama back in Arpil of 09....after he received close to 1 mil., in campaign donations...which is illegal because they are a foreign Corp. Learn something before you spout off your ignorance.

[samuils]

@Trollmaster21 1) I dont care about oil profits

2) Free market is what gave us technology genius, it wasnt your "regulate it all "kind" that brought technology to its current advanced state. And the switch should start when the technology makes sense, when people dont starve because they cant afford a damn thing due to high energy costs.

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 Rgulations had nothing to do with tho oil spill, accidents do happen, that's why they're called accidents. Please name one society in history that has ever taxed, spent and regulated its self into prosperity. You can't, but I can name many that have failed just like obama will.

[Trollmaster21]

The Heritage Foundation are shills for the GOP and the status quo.

I do wonder what's their stand on global warming? Do they side with the scientists or try to claim it's a myth, much like their kind did with evolution way back when?

[HereinLasVegas]

@Trollmaster21 When you can explain to me what caused the first ice age to end you will convince me that man made global warming exists.

[psychmt]

@HereinLasVegas Absolutely!!!  I've said that to my liberal friends and the only response is "Well, that's different." When asked how it's different, you can hear the crickets chirp.

[usmc7242]

@Trollmaster21

Most scientists claim globull warming is a myth, so, I hope heritage is in line with them...

[robertmike57]

LOL! It's the old deregulate everything while spewing a pack of lies. You guys never change your tune.

That bank deregulation sure worked great. Guess overregulation of the oil industry is why the Gulf of Mexico has the oil that won't get refined.t.

[hanzo138]

@robertmike57 Are you referring to the 2000 bill Commodities Futures Modernization Act signed by Bill Clinton that fucked our derivatives market?

[robertmike57]

@hanzo138 oh boy, it's the blame Clinton ,.

But I'll bite, think that Republican controlled congress and President of 2001-06 would had fixed that Clinton thingie if they thought it was so bad?

[hanzo138]

@robertmike57 Oh now I wasn't putting sole blame on Clinton. Also why would I expect Republicans to fix anything? I was just trying to make sure we were on the same page. On to my point, when it came to the exact part that killed the derivatives market was the government REGULATION that enforced OTC derivatives! You see since the 1800's the free market ran with the rule that OTC's were unenforceable and to do so would be fraud. But the government just HAD to step in and said we'll honor them!

[hanzo138]

@robertmike57 As for BP, given the history of them being extremely negligent even in the face of government regulation, and the fact that operating a drill rig with a fucked up annular is a MAJOR safety issue and goes against current safety regulations (not to mention all of the other red flags they knew full well about but ignored them anyway), do you honestly think BP would have given two fucks about government regulations if they were in place? Honestly?

[VerbotenDingleberry]

@hanzo138

"Obama Approves 26 New Offshore Drilling Projects Without Environmental Review "

WTFE.

[hanzo138]

@VerbotenDingleberry Could you expound on that?

[VerbotenDingleberry]

@hanzo138 Until you understand the relationship between a "Progressive" Government and Business is that of a John and a Prostitute (and which is which, and who's really getting screwed) you will continue to blame the John for the mess the Prostitute is making...

Just one guy's opinion...

[hanzo138]

@VerbotenDingleberry I think I know all too well the relationship between a Progressive Government and business, which is why I disagree with the liberal/anti-capitalist call for more regulations even in the light of one companies bad business practices. Why totally fuck over other companies with more regulations that will more than likely be totally beneficial to certain special interest groups and really do nothing to solve anything?

[samuils]

@robertmike57 Bank deregulation??? FDIC insurance was there all the time insuring all money banks spend carelessly, do you even know what you are talking about? I know Obama said that banks were too deregulated, but do you have an ounce of your own thought?

[HereinLasVegas]

@robertmike57 Giving money to people who can't afford to pay back loans is what caused a good amount of the problems we're having now. Carter's CRA put on steroids by clinton, Raine's, Dodd, Frank, Schumer crafting laws so Fanny and Freddy could fraudulently wrap up bad paper with a AAA credit rating then more laws so Golman Sachs could sell them in their own pay back scam. You've been conned, wise up. Follow the money and look at who is getting it RIGHT NOW.
