Peter Schiff - 2010 Tea Party Tax Day Protest in Hartford, CT

[equsnarnd]

Not only did socialism not work in the Soviet Union and not work in Cuba but it isn't working in Spain or France or Italy or Greece or the UK or the Scandinavian countries who are slowly going broke. SOCIALISM DOES NOT WORK AND IS IMMORAL IN ITS FOUNDATION!!!

[thecomputergurukid]

@equsnarnd Norway net debt: -146% GDP, Finland net debt: -39.5% GDP, Sweeden net debt: -10.5% GDP. Going broke, I don't think so. There is a reason Scandinavia is one of the happiest regions in the world.

[equsnarnd]

@thecomputergurukid Could I have the source of your statistics, please?

[thecomputergurukid]

@equsnarnd On debt: economist(DOT)com/blogs/button­wood/2010/02/debt_deficits_and­_growth

On happiness: forbes(DOT)com/2009/05/05/worl­d-happiest-places-lifestyle-tr­avel-world-happiest(DOT)html

I know the facts have a liberal bias.

[equsnarnd]

@thecomputergurukid I saw the stats from the economist. There are internal and external forms of debt. The economist doesn't make it clear how it's treating the numbers and I've seen different numbers from different sources though the general profile remains. Happiness url didn't work so I went to Forbes and found similar. Happiness is a tricky criteria - imporant by not always isomorphic with well-being.

[thecomputergurukid]

@equsnarnd There clearly not going broke and depressed like your comment said so.

[thecomputergurukid]

@equsnarnd Also helping people who are poor and sick is going to turn us into the USSR and is not immoral.

[equsnarnd]

@thecomputergurukid Huh? Did you mean is not going to turn us into the USSR? No, helping people is not immoral. No one I've ever heard of would say that. What is immoral is using a gun to force people to help others. Just cause someone thinks their action and goal noble or ideal or necessary does not give them a right to treat some people as slaves and I don't lose my rights to my life and property because I have more of it.

[thecomputergurukid]

Respond to this video... 

[thecomputergurukid]

@equsnarnd Why is it moral to use a gun to protect property rights but not anything else?

"Tea Party" is a Big Lie. It's not the simple 1700s. We now have millions of life-saving water-food-air-safety, police, military, etc. provided by "big government" (We The People). During the real Tea Party there were no freeways, bridges nor school that allow real tax-paying patriots to work & contribute to the superior progress this nation has. I've never whined aobut paying taxes as without regulations many of us wouldn't be here. Due to Cheney's deregulations the Gulf is an oil pool."

[equsnarnd]

@windycityrodeo You must work very hard at being so stupid. I use the word to mean someone who refuses to think clearly and consistently. What is complex is the question of what is the proper role of the Federal Gov't and how should it be financed with the least amount of damage to the individuals who are paying for it.  What we have now is a disaster and the gov't clearly behaves unconstitutionally every day.

[doughtymqan]

@windycityrodeo You are missing the Tea Party's point. Yes this is not the 1700's. We should be much better off than we are. The only thing screwing things up is the GOV. Getting in the way of progress is thery're grip on the status quo.

[usrevolution2]

IS IT TIME?! Go to USRevolution2 (dot com) and get your flag of the Second American Revolution. They are made in America and look exactly like the flag of Betsy Ross with a Roman numeral II in the center of the 13 stars. This flag is now in all 50 states and spreading from porch to porch. They make great gifts for family, friends and recovering Liberals.

[THEBRUCEKLEIN]

@TylerNul1 gosh darn it @TylerNul1 you are not using the republican 'code' you cant say it out loud you might be a racsist

[Hairylegs25]

Hey TylerNul 1, shut your mouth. Have enough respect not to use racial epithets. It's really above race. It's about all Americans and the constitution.

[pezzonovante99]

Do I smell a liberal planting racist comments on here to discredit the Tea Party movement?

[javierislas91711]

this camera guy should be tea bagged.

[NightMoves00]

first time with a camera

[eeen85]

i think bill maher tea bags john stewert

[xcableguy]

I can second that. I've sent money to Ron Paul (Texas), Rand Paul (Kentucky) and Peter (Conneticut). The sad thing is my home, for now, is Washington state. Viva La Revolucion!

[Racefiend77]

It's sad when I live in California and I have to send money to a CT senate candidate because there's no one worth a crap here to support

[addbball]

@58tkdmike Stop calling us TEABAGGERS! Do you realize what that word means?!

[cresidue]

@58tkdmike Yeah, that's right, Liberal pussy, WTSHTF we'll be laughing at all you idiots living in tents on the White House lawn waiting for a Socialist handout, LMAO!!

[pretorious700]

@58tkdmike How's the grass in the pasture? Some of the cattle have learned how to jump the fence-you can follow or stay behind until you're bled dry.

Peter Schiff is right. He will be a senator. He is our Patric Henry. In the senate he will be listened to. He is an amazing charismatic speaker. He makes perfect sense and he is relentless. The other senators who are honest but misinformed will at last have a leader who understands what is going on. Peter Schiff for Senate!
