This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This windbag "warhorse" is a socialist, who along with Pelosi and Barney Frank, are trying to move this country so far to the left we'd be in Hawaii! The collapse of the middle class is due to "entitlements" run amok. We're broke and the top 2% ain't gonna make a dent in the federal deficit. By the way, the Republicans aren't innocent either---John Cronyn of Texas (R) was fighting against the ridiculous "pork" bill and Jonathan Karl outed him on camera. Throw them ALL out in 2012
President Obama successfully whips Dem caucus to endorse Bush tax policy. LMAO. So after all the class-warfare rhetoric & hating rich people thing, the Dems sided with George W Bush afterall. Hope & Change.....had enough yet?
Also apparently many people in the comments weren't educated enough to know what socialism means and what socialist party means in the modern world.
American were taught to fear and reject socialism without ever being explained as to why? They simply fear and reject it. Yet every modern nation have a socialist party, and it is an important party because that is the party that kicked the US off the #1 seat in everything except military spending and oil consumption.
@specificgravity Yes, because a bunch of people screaming that Obama is a socialist Commie Nazi, are adults. The adults stayed home because a vast majority of the shit we voted Democrats into office to do, didn't get done. Why? Because they let the Republicans in the Senate push them around (the House could get shit done).
Sorry, but Republicans are children. When you block to support 9/11 First Responders because the rich haven't gotten their tax cuts yet - you're a child.
Yut it is the new Republican president hey Obama we welcome you and love you screw the dems thank you so much for our rich cuts. From a republican that loves ya my pocket fills you and your fellow republican Friends bless you! I think I am going to build a second movie theater in my guest home with the cuts.
HOW ABOUT A FLAT TAX! see if that was used then everybody would pay taxes not just those who work, thus motivating lazy welfare people to work! pay somebody not to work and don't be surprised if he won't work. what about the estate tax, I'm sick of it, why should a man work all his life give his money to his children, but then the government says sorry kids dad gotta pay for dying on us.
@ColoradoRanger Yes, nothing like forcing someone to pay taxes when they can't get a job. Good thing crime rates will go down, because then there would be no reason why people would resort to crime to make money. /sarcasm
@ColoradoRanger First off, the idea of "lazy welfare people" is just a straw man created by Conservatives as a talking point against welfare. Secondly, the rich man you mentioned got rich off of other people, there isn't a way to earn millions of dollars by doing manual labor, making a product, etc. Therefore,morally it would be right to help others by donating some of his money back into the system. Unfortunately, most rich people hoard their money instead of helping others.

Speaking of which, what the hell happened to Al Franken? The guy was a loud strong voice when he got in, now next to nothing. He criticized the tax bill, but not very loudly and ended up voting for it today. What the hell happened to that guy? I thought he was one of the good ones that was going to shake up the system. He's faded away and doesn't seem to relevant anymore.
In the 50's , the top 2% were paying 70% .... Why? Because they knew the war had to be paid for. Now it's " punishing the rich " to have them do so much as 40%. Where's the punishment? The middle class is being shrunken to almost nothingness, yet the punishment is on the rich? How about it merely being called what it is, PAYING YOUR FAIR SHARE.
But this is what Cenk is all about. He would love "fighting" Democrats, that actually get nothing accomplished, but fight fight fight.

@LibertyDownUnder So what. Bernie Sanders views are the same as the majority of the US. We want tax cuts for over 250K to end and we want Single Payer health care. He is not a radical.
1. Those countries have a lot more natural resources relative the population than the US. They can afford their handouts without excessive loans, the US cannot.
2. Their welfare state has invited an enormous amount of social problems, especially teen pregnancies.
3. They've been slowly moving away from Socialism since the 1970s.
If you google "Sweden and the Myth of Benevolent Socialism" you can read about this.
1) They do not afford their handouts via simply their resource wealth. Wealth is taxed to provide for the population. If the rich are taxed and the middle class taxes cut in the US, the middle class will grow and the US will be able to better utilize its key resource currently, outside of military superiority or the artifacts of historical intimidation in W St: its tertiary education system. China is fast catching up because of the decline of the middle class.
US exports would go up if it had done the right things, for instance turn GE into a green tech, high-speed transport hub, put green tech further up the agenda, done obvious streamlining to TBTF. The only way a country in US's situation can keep itself functioning outside of continuing unethical practices and acting to preserve a bloated financial sector is to remain on the cutting edge of innovation, whatever the field.
It does point out why this as a counterargument against US doesn't necessarily work. Exports remain a viable factor here, but in the US you also have the issue of internal demand potentially being massive relative to Sweden.
The thing is, economic freedom is a good thing. But in the right places there needs to be appropriate government action. Basically what it boils down to for progressives is they see the same problems you do but looking at successful markets with economic freedom they also see a lot of infrastructure programs that are completely government funded, paying forward as it were, often through contracts but still. The essential issue to us is oversight and deincentivising corruption
Differences in Teenage Pregnancy Rates Among Five Developed Countries: The Roles of Sexual Activity and Contraceptive Use
2001
": Adolescent childbearing is more common in the United States (22% of women reported having had a child before age 20) than in Great Britain (15%), Canada (11%), France (6%) and Sweden (4%)"
@LibertyDownUnder Cuba is the fault of the US, 50 years of bloccade, assasanation attempts, and subversions is the reason for Cuba's condition. And what happened in Greece an Portugal had everything to do with US banks and nothing to do with Socialsim.
@LibertyDownUnder Wrong Again. Germany is doing very well. Norway has the highest standard of living in the world and Denmark was ranked by Forbes Magazine as the best country in the world for buisness. Canada as of July has fecovered 81% of the jobs they lost in the recession.
@MsZeitgeist85, all of those countries are struggling with their entitlements which will get much much worse now that their baby boomers are retireing.
Portugal, Ireland, Spain, Greece - and then the rest of the Euro zone.
I'm happy to wait and see how this plays out this decade. And I think that you know it will not be pretty.
Goldman Sachs cooked the books for the previous Greek Government and hid their debt by buying mortgage backed securities and american T-Bills in order for them to join the EU and when the shit finally hit the fan in the US banking system their treasury which had been in the red for decades was nearly wiped out leading to a near total ecomonic collapse.
So Goldman Sachs played a much greater roll in the Greek economic disaster than most americans would like to admit.
"When Ireland's real estate boom busted, the banks shuddered, and the government stepped in, guaranteeing private debt twice as valuable as the country's economy."
@MsZeitgeist85 Whoever told you that your Ideology is in the majority lied to you. Single payer and Class Warfare- Class Envy polls in the mid 30s. Maybe in your bubble world of group think those ideas are popular but not in the Heartland of America.
@chaumont20 So the Heartland of America enjoys having insurance companys let people die when they cost too much? I don't think that you know what they want.
@MsZeitgeist85 That's the typical demonization of Health Insurance that contributes nothing to the debate. Why don't you write a story based on your proof and make yourself alot of money, then Bernie Sanders can tell you how much of that money you can keep. You won't be happy with his answer.
@chaumont20 How about the fact that HMOs are the 7th leading cause of death in the US. Or that 62% of all bankruptcys are from medical debt. Or the simple fact that not one single country in the world uses for profit insurance for primary care. Or the fact that the US spends the most on health care and our system is ranked 37th in the world.
Is that enough reasons to get rid of these parasites.
@MsZeitgeist85 " the US spends the most on Health Care and our system is ranked 37th in the world ". and you think 2,500 pages of Liberalism and Progressivism is going to make that better. People all over the world come here for our Health Care, your side will put an end to that. Liberalism and Progressivism never makes anything better.
@chaumont20 You completly missed the point. HMOs are not healt care providers. People come here because ether their system pays for it or they pay out of pocket for elective care.
I don't want 2500 pages of a minor improvemt over an insurnce company system I want the insurance companys put our of buisness and replaced with a Single Payer system that costs less and covers everybody.
@chaumont20 "People all over the world come here for our Health Care, your side will put an end to that."
You neglect to point out how those who come to the US for the treatment are usually those who can afford the costs - namely the uber rich. Having the so called 'Best heatlh care in the world means crap' when your most of your own ppl don't get it.
No, it does. It *is* an ethical issue. What is difficult to understand about the need for mandatory healthcare? I don't see how an oligopoly is the perfect solution. A public option would seem to be far more viable. Going forward criticisms should, in a proper system, be taken into account. Where they are not, you would still provide healthcare for all without creating a situation where unnecessary inflation is inevitable. You can always write to GOP to pass small-ins. co laws
What is difficult to understand about Norway having such success with sml pop, nat. res. and the invest. in ship.? I don't understand.
The socialism involved here is not about a centrally controlled economy-- which as far as I know most are-- but about taxing high personal income to enable welfare to help the poor have better standards of living and time to improve themselves. I don't see what this has to do with economic control beyond enabling social uplift.
@LibertyDownUnder Well I don't believe in state socialism wherein all the power lies with one individual. A la Stalinism. In a nutshell I believe individuals should be able to opt in or out of various communes wherein the elected governing bodies truly are from among the people. In my opinion, the system we have currently is oppressive and restrictive unless you are born at the top of the chain. Not to mention our elected leaders are not from among us, rather they are part of the elite...
@LibertyDownUnder ...that holds the rest of us down. We are given a choice between establishment candidates with corporate agendas who agree on 99% of things but choose to focus on the 1% of things they disagree on and pretend they are polar opposites. (For example, Bush and Obama.) In a system like this I can see how giving more power to the state is perceived as a negative, because in a system like this the government is not really accurately representing the people.
@watermelonygoodness, the policies that TYT is pushing are not in any way like what you're suggesting. They don't want anyone to be able to 'opt in' or out.
Tax hikes, increased regulation and more government departments lead to a centrally planned economy.
If you are for individual choice, and to reduce corporate power in Washington - Ron Paul is much more in line with your views.
@LibertyDownUnder I know TYT is not pushing what I'm talking about. But I do agree with them on some things. Ron Paul I also agree with on some things but I'm not interested in the exploitation we see from free market laissez faire internationally.
@watermelonygoodness, call it what you want - it's pretty much the only way out of poverty for these countries. If you have a better way - lets hear it.
Africa has been a destitute hole for 40 years, I'm sure there's may people there would love to be 'exploited' for their labour.
@LibertyDownUnder Let me put it to you this way. If a woman is homeless and starving, and a pimp takes her in, beats her and forces her to work in degrading, unsafe conditions, but at the end of the day she gets to keep a small portion of what she makes and is no longer starving. Would you not call that exploitative? That is the exact same thing large corporations do overseas. The reality of sweatshop labor is that the workers are mistreated, abused, forced to work in hazardous...
@LibertyDownUnder ...conditions, and are underpaid. They do so because they have no other options, just as a prostitute does what she does often because she does not have other options. I'm not calling it what I want to, I'm calling it what it is. It's exploitation.
@watermelonygoodness no I meant that Stalin was a dictator REAL socialism is not run by a single person, it is run by the whole community (as in the root commune i.e. communism)
@LibertyDownUnder Businesses should be run democratically, as society is. Workers must always have the right to unionize in order to represent themselves, and company profits should be divided equally among the laborers.
@LibertyDownUnder As you said before, it is troublesome to give all that control to one person. The only difference between you and I is that you think it's wrong to give one person (or a small group of elitists) absolute power in society, but that somehow it becomes okay in a corporation. I believe it is wrong and begging for corruption in either case to leave all that authority in the hands of one individual.
@LibertyDownUnder The system I am describing does not exist so don't tell me France and Spain have this system and it doesn't work; no one has this system.
@LibertyDownUnder Furthermore, how is recognizing workers' rights demonizing corporations? It sounds like you are the one who is demonizing the laborers. They have rights like everyone else and one of those rights is the ability to preserve their interests and dignity.
@LibertyDownUnder Unions should be able to push them around and tell them what to do. Workers ARE the corporation. Without them the entire thing will collapse because no one will do the work. I will send you a link to a list of companies that operate democratically. Tell these people what they're doing isn't working.
Sanders and other progressive idiots fighting to tax you after you die. They want to take away what you have earned, and transfer that wealth to Wall Street, global corporations, and drug dealers.
@PapaMagnum , Even China doesn't have an insulting death tax. The tax rates are at obscene levels considering the services received. I know you have not done any research and are just parroting what this channel and other wall street shills say, but the returning the high taxes will drive successful people from this country and nobody to feed you. You will be left with Weiners and the Sanders and the tree huggers, as your children are rounded up and pushed into a deep hole and covered with dirt.
@jag10 LOL yes because TYT are SUCH wall street shills... LOL you never saw the show apparently... and NO, CUTTING taxes drives rich people out of this country which was proven to us when 2/3 of Bushes tax cuts for the rich went to creating jobs OVERSEAS... learn about what you are arguing before coming on a channel FAR, FAR, too out of your league.
What your party is fighting for is the christian equivalent to sharia law... so don't talk about who's children will suffer from who's policies...
@jag10 Tax rates for the upper 2% are lower now than at any other time in the last century. You can use The Google if you don't believe. Only a conservative would give away billions of dollars in revenue then claim to be for reducing the federal deficit. Maybe we should all quit our jobs so it will be easier to pay off our credit card debts... Sheesh, what a maroon.
@granulorhoek , the tax rates for the top earners exceed 50%. Historically, you are mostly correct, under the federal reserve act, except the top earners didn't pay that 60-90% tax.
I didn't understand your last two points.
Borrowing to pay for the MIC, welfare programs, foreign aid, UN, corporate bailouts, bank bailouts, growth in gubbermint - at interest, from a private central bank is the biggest problem the taxpayer faces.
@femaleasian1 , Not sure what you mean. The only way welfare programs will slow down down is if the gubbermint slows down the funding. It has become a culture to many, and difficult to wean from.
I don't see that happening, as those who have controlled domestic policy want to increase this welfare state. Our culture of dependency, from food, to clothing, housing, to education, job creation, and rights to life, property, and liberty,etc, etc.
Just about everything you do is programmed.....sad
If you don't like what your government is doing to you Americans, then maybe you should revolt and quit your jobs. You guys are working more hours for less pay and you make fun of China for low paying jobs. LOL
@jag10 China doesn't need the estate tax. Secondly, these people are not going to miss that money - they're dead and lucky to have lived in a country that presented them these opportunities. Also, look at the complete track records of your neocon buddies and the liberals, and tell me who favors wall street more. All that deregulation hurt the markets. Why would people worry that much over being taxed after death? It's the spoiled rich kid tax. WAH WAH WAH baby.
@PapaMagnum , Not sure what you are trying to say. I am not property of the State. The elites avoid estate taxes.
Now that argument may gain support, for those who created wealth off the back of taxpayers, like government employees who essentially have never paid tax.
This is a middle class squeeze, which enriches the ruling class and ensures a welfare state.
@jag10 It was the free marketeers who deregulated the economy ruining it, hence the name free marketeers. The estate tax is anything but a middle class squeeze, and you make it sound as if the government taxes all of the money that a person has made once they die. Look up the tax rate for people at different inheritance levels before you start expressing an opinion. The elites are against it because it targets them. Not sure what world you live in, gov't employees pay taxes though.
@jag10 Supporting the estate tax is not the same as supporting the banks and the government. The government needs capital to function, and the estate tax is a relatively painless way to get it. The situation with the 50 year old would probably turn out relatively okay for the kids at the tax rate which it works at. I didn't even mention crack babies or anything about a "social system" so I'm just going to assume from this point you need to put words in people's mouths to try and win an argument.
@jag10 An addendum, supporting the estate tax is a proxy way to support the government so they can better do things like regulate banks, provide services, etc.
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again so that all who believe on Him for the free gift of salvation will have eternal life. Call upon the Lord Jesus Christ to save you and He will when you believe in Him!
John 3:15 & 16 That Whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
The United States pays more taxes than the Chinese and Russians, and neither have death taxes. How much bigger does Bernie want the government to grow?
Chi-com Bernie should be in a labor camp, where he can filibuster which end of a pick axe to use.
The top 5% now has 78% of the financial wealth of the country, yet pays onlly 58% of the income tax
What's worse is we've 100+ other taxes in the country that are regressive meaning the lower classes pay a higher % of their income on them than the top 5%
Such as - Sales Tax,Soc Security Tax,Telephone Tax,Gasoline Tax,Internet Tex, Cig Tax, Cable Tax, Elec Tax & many other taxes,regisrations,tolls,fees,fines, etc.
Also why the top 5% pay a lower % of income in taxes than the middle class
Here's how they pass it. OBAMA ACTUALLY VETOES SOMETHING. He keeps on vetoing any tax bill until the Republicans cave-they don't have the numbers to override the veto, and the'll be exposed for putting the rich above everyone else. It's a win for both policy and politics.
I'm so confused by this. How are they going to pass this bill during the lame duck sessions, the democrats still have the house and the senate. Are the dems going to all vote for this? I don't get it.
Stenky is ALWAYS quoting polls and slamming legislators for not doing what the people want and yet, in this case when 68% of people WANT this compromise to go through, he ignores the polls. He is such an ideological scum.
@BriansVideoHobby only you dumbass conservatives come up with these childish nicknames like "Stenky" (for Cenk). Seriously when i see shit like that i just am ashamed and sort of disgusted that grown men can be that immature.
@BriansVideoHobby why do i care if i entertain you or not, why bother taking the time to tell someone random they bore you. why don't you stop being an asshole all over this page. prick. youre pathetic
@crayyawn " Stenky" (for Cenk). " Seriously when I see shit like that I just am ashamed and sort of didgusted that grown men can be that immature " Really, than how do you feel about the word " teabagger ".
@BriansVideoHobby Sorry, but you have that figure completely backward. 67% say they want to pay down on the deficit, and have no tax breaks for the wealthy.

@HyperAstartes,
1. Those countries have a lot more natural resources relative the population than the US. They can afford their handouts without excessive loans, the US cannot.
2. Their welfare state has invited an enormous amount of social problems, especially teen pregnancies.
3. They've been slowly moving away from Socialism since the 1970s.
If you google "Sweden and the Myth of Benevolent Socialism" you can read about this.

@LibertyDownUnder
1) They do not afford their handouts via simply their resource wealth. Wealth is taxed to provide for the population. If the rich are taxed and the middle class taxes cut in the US, the middle class will grow and the US will be able to better utilize its key resource currently, outside of military superiority or the artifacts of historical intimidation in W St: its tertiary education system. China is fast catching up because of the decline of the middle class.

Look up the tax rate for people at different inheritance levels before you start expressing an opinion. The elites are against it because it targets them. Not sure what world you live in, gov't employees pay taxes though.

@jag10 Supporting the estate tax is not the same as supporting the banks and the government. The government needs capital to function, and the estate tax is a relatively painless way to get it. The situation with the 50 year old would probably turn out relatively okay for the kids at the tax rate which it works at. I didn't even mention crack babies or anything about a "social system" so I'm just going to assume from this point you need to put words in people's mouths to try and win an argument.
