[Bbenja4]

Run Ralph Run! 2012. 

[EFISHANT]

Did Ralph just call a spade a spade?

[BatrocTheLeaper]

(with the democrats) "...there wont be any change, but it wont get worse"

that sums up perfectly the democratic party

[sasha031]

Ralph can speak honestly and free on AlJeezra. It's so refreshing hearing authentic discourse on matters that effect us all. It's also a reminder of how much our corporate media literally sucks.

Thank you Mr Nader, I can't recommend this enough.

[superphi]

Print more money, devalue the dollar and increase the minimum wage, then pple will think they r getting raises.

[Malinyc]

The way to end that is a ceiling on profiteering simple as say 8 year old makes Nike shoes earning .35 cents an hour in China, Indonesia etc and the cost for the raw material & overhead is  $5.00 the shoe is worth $5.70 Nike should not be able to sell it for more than $11.40 a 100% mark up same should go for Iphone's and other goods that are abusing the system to rip people off on both sides

[Malinyc]

Ralph is right on the money about everything compare that to sh#thead Bush or Bendover Obumma how can you keep sending jobs as many as possible and still hope to sell your crap in USA because either the worker's cannot afford those goods and services or do not have a job to buy any more !! The very large Multi National Parasite's forget to account for this when looking at the bottom line

it's cannabilizing your own children for the almighty quarterly stock profit.

[newgirl2u2]

Ralph Nader has said this for a very long time and it is high time we the American public start listening. Thank you Ralph, for speaking truth.

[ramilioverduzco]

Nader has poor tactics.

[AndroidPolitician]

Why is there a question mark at the end of the video title? It should just be "Attacking the US Middle Class".

[MadCoins]

I hope what Nader says in right when he says the Plutocracy does not know when to stop. The American people will only be woken up when the repubs push too far while democrats refuse to stand up for them due to their corporate controllers. Nader gets my vote in 2012. If not him, then the green party. Sadly, probably only a handful of Americans will vote third party but the rest will again attempt to solve their problems with Bush's forth term corporate puppet on the right/left. It continues...

[benshivd]

Turn OFF the taps to the fat pig union public workers. Their trough of free money cannot continue unabated forever. The companies want to pay less and less to workers. That means less taxes from everyone. So we tax the so called rich, they mean company owners. Eventually its unsustainable and collapses. We need healthy corporate AND worker rules. They work hand in hand you cannot sustain an economy with either missing.

[EvilUSAandthe911Lie]

The real power behind the attack on unions is Zionist globalism. Obama is owned by the Zionists... they own both parties. The people have no power to throw these people out in elections. Ralph's dreaming...the ballot box is rigged.

And it's not ObamaBush, it's BushBama... we've been saying it for years, Ralph, get your head out of your ass and fight global Zionism and the Zionist bankers. You say Obama's has no courage, but you're just as much of a coward , Ralph, for not attacking Zionism.

[psychokillercrab]

RALPH NADER 2012!

[ch1aka2]

I wish the stupid white trash in America would see that Republican leaders are not on their side. But they are brainwashed and just too stupid.

[shantiq]

obushma

[SanePerson1]

It is pretty pathetic that I have to listen to an AlJazeeraEnglish broadcast to finally hear an American politician who can be genuinely labeled as a "leftist". We have the center-right Democrat corporatists (with a few exceptions) vs the far-right Republican corporatists. Having said that, I wish Nader would find someone else who shares his views and has actually served in public office to run for office.

[AdmiralofTheEmpire]

@SanePerson1 it does suck, don't forget about people like Rep. Weiner from New York though. He seems like a true progressive.

[helioncry]

EVERYONE in America needs to strike! All working class American's need to stick together!!!

[clockworksackboy]

get quality independent community financed representatives on the election ballets. and toss this two party system out on its ass, they are neither for or of the people.

[HKNajjar]

Slavery was never abolished, just the approach changed.

[ObsenityofAtomicTech]

He is right about how to get funds increased to the treasury. But there is what is called a black hole of obigations the fed gov has made to banks and investors in bonds as well as whole nations we have attacked that we are responsible to now to rebuild. There is limitless demands from us the tax payers and if we all worked every waking hour( we cann't since there are no jobs for even 40 hr weeks) and payed all our dollars in taxes and had gov supplied food and housing(slave labor) not be enough

[ObsenityofAtomicTech]

He is right but we also need to stop payments of interest and especially capital made to the treasury by counterfieting operations that source there counterfiet dollars to the federal reserve bank sindicate. The people that have bought bonds from the federal gov with real dollars( dollars made though work) pay them back . But the dollars made though stock tranaction fees, credit defaul swaps, and any other type of gambling used to buy gov bonds needs to be denied and stamped void.

[dawance88]

Finally, I've been waiting for Nader to speak since the election ended.

[kappawodori]

Sometimes poor workers tend to aim their discontent at socially weak people like ethnic minority, young and elder people and so on. I must say they're targetting wrong peolpe. Those who makes the workers poor is not minorities. People with great powers and capitals should be the real enemy to those poor workers. Workers need to get together to take back their money and pride.

[mjbarrowful]

yes food prices are going to go up

the average age for farmers in this country is 57

[DRisLegend200919]

raising minimum wage to 9.50 an hour will help alot

[CivysCare4Soldiers2]

Good to see someone sticking up for the less dominant social groups instead of the dominant social group who have control of the economy. Its our democratic right to join a union!

[italstal07]

if everyone brings a friend and they bring one friend and so..and so on..and then you have millions on the streets...WAKE UP AND LET THE CONSTITUTION AND BILL OF RIGHTS BE REBORN!!! SAVE THIS COUNTRY..

[bloodyhawk989]

We can go independent fuck Republicans and Democrats.They are just 2 sides the same coin.

[billybobhobnob101]

Ralph Nader is wrong, progressives are looking for options to the Democrats right now- We are working on cloud unions- leaderless, dues-less, online and virtual, put together physically in cells of 11-15 , there will be no strikes just mass sick days taken- and when our collective psychic energy turns negative it will slow down their profit machine like sand in the gears- we will not have to negotiate they will make us offers to make us happy.

[drax09]

It seems absurd that Americans can only get the true news and commentary as it pertains to US issues from sources outside the country. Al Jazeera is an excellent news organization and far preferable to MSNBC, FOX and CNN.

[DurzaGaiden]

I thought it was just public labor unions, which are funded by specific political parties, that are being disbanded.

[niobietanaris]

There is no difference between Democrat or Republican. Again with being divisive. This is why Americans will not stand together. /sigh

[italstal07]

@niobietanaris they also wont stand together due to their laziness!! and being dumbed down..

[ISOCYANATEinBHOPAL]

FBI bustards, where is the anthrax mailer, the 4 black boxes, the pentagon video ?

FBI paid fine thru its nose to Steven Hatfull for harassing but still could not find the mailer which goes to bush/cheney/neocons/mossad directions.

[ISOCYANATEinBHOPAL]

FBI / CIA pro-corporate and pro-war lobby racist REPUGS and DEMONS are now the most UNPATRIOTIC sector of the USA.

Cut the salaries of FBI-CIA-NSA racists by half all across the board and put money into working class.

[ElvenWarrior891]

To be honest, neither party is really going to solve the problem.

[VeritasAmantesVocat]

there are actually a great many high paid union people who turn around and vote republican, because they want to keep all their tax money. thats how the teaparty came in. maybe now they will wake up and stop voting for republicans completely

[hoosierhiver]

Nader is a great guy. He has always tried to help the common man.

[italstal07]

@hoosierhiver yes, but too bad the common man doesnt care about themselves, because they would have voted for him everytime he ran..I did..I will see him this week at his book signing..

[DomDollx]

i love aljazeera. the u.s. is getting too greedy in getting involved in other countries. if we focus at home, at the youth and schools, education, it would benefit the nation a lot more than trying to "protect/help" people who aren't really being helped but killed.

[ryanshaunkelly]

the two party game

both parties corrupt to the core

two sides of the same bad coin

[stama9]

what nader says at 18:35 makes a lot of sense, The "job creators" only care about their bottom line. It's their pr firms that make you think otherwise, especially the biggest pr firm of them all...fox "news"...

[jetfighter53]

all the republicans suck

[ryanshaunkelly]

nader paul kucinich gravel mckinney 

perot ventura sheehan too

[JoesephKatana]

I like Nader.

[Imgz]

people claiming that obama and bush are like each other, must be retarded..

[slapleatheru3]

Well said!!

[waldentree]

Unions and corporations do not have rights. Only individuals do.

[bloodandwinearered]

@waldentree Ever hear of citizens united?  Corporations are people and money uis speech. I'm waiting for the SCOTUS to rule that trees are bicycles.

[Joeybagadounuts08]

"That's why Obama can ignore them. Where are they going to go? They're not going to go for the Republican."  Thank you democrat politicians for representing the people that vote for you. Government works.

[pvtjamesryan3]

Nader is insane. You cannot make the minimum wage nearly $20 an hour.

Most businesses could not employ anyone at that wage.

It should not be the role of Government to mandate how much to pay someone. It's up to the people to demand more and it's up to corporations to compete for good employees.

[zeeab]

@pvtjamesryan3 Have you ever stop to think that if big corporations stopped giving their CEO's sickening bonuses worth millions of dollars, that they could afford to pay their people at least $10 an hour? They could offer better everything to their employee and attrack good workers; of course I must be dreaming.

[pvtjamesryan3]

@zeeab

No, you're just retarded.

[kawaiigardiner]

@pvtjamesryan3 No you fuckwitt, where did nadar state that the minimum wage should be $10 per hour? watch the fucking video before posting you half-witt.

[zeeab]

@pvtjamesryan3 Wow your rude! I'm just trying to have a debate on the issue, and your using language that is not only rude, but hurtful to those with mental challenge as that word is no longer used. People like you never cease to amaze me!

[pvtjamesryan3]

@zeeab

You make every American look retarded.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[zeeab]

@pvtjamesryan3 I think you should seek psychological help, your rage is a little over the top for such a discussion. Attacking people such as you have show signs of low class individual; therefor talk to yourself I wont be responding to you again, as there is no reason to act so violently with your words.

[pvtjamesryan3]

@zeeab

Are you still talking?

You're pathetic than I realized.

[vinniechan]

Wuts the point of worker union if they don't hv collective bargaining power?

[Boomer1949]

Well, if Union has no where to go but the Democratic Party, lets run an opponent to Obama that has more courage. It does amaze me that so many people think he's superman but still I can see where he could have been more publicly stronger on a lot of issues. As a community organizer, I don't see him changing in his next term. So look for a fighter to run, like Wiener or the guy from Fl.

[Jeenyus1983]

@Boomer1949 Yeah---That guy from FL looks good!! I'd like to see Ron Paul defeat Obozo as well!! Either way--both of those men seem to be legit and having the best intentions for the American people!! We MUST destroy the Federal Reserve!! We MUST establish a global minimum wage! OR else--CHiNA's superstructure WILL bring down the US's middle class threw undercutting out industry--simply put--Americans are NOT slaves and we cant compete with slave labor!-That MUST change or we're DONE!

[cerritoboy]

Obama is nothing but a black Bush!

[Ba11s11]

The United States has been sticking it to the middle class since the 1970s. One party taxes us to death to take care of the poor. The other allows our wealthy employers to exploit. Either way you're getting screwed by somebody with more power than you.

also lol @ 5:36, Ralph Nade droppin a prostate bomb

[OurFadedGarden]

Vote independent! Get up, get out, and fight!

[ktomasz999]

Kosher mafia

[Zendout1]

There's no fool like an old fool

the unions are lucky they aren't being indicted for racketeering

[dhebert111]

Obama isn`t working for the workers of USA. Before he got into office he told voters he would get rid of free trade. In Canada, our government was outraged, he publicly responded by saying "don`t worry it`s just campaign retoric"

From then on I knew the states were going to be in trouble for a while, if he got in, and they are.

[graphattic]

Obama= Same shit, different presentation.

[Libertariandebater]

Asmuch as i like Ralph, he needs to go to mises.org and read about economics...

[rickbar123]

The Corporation is the enemy of the American people.

[spamllpitdept]

Obama = Bush = Globalist Banker-Backed Zionist Pig

[dickiepipes]

Poor Nader he just dont get economics. Why should workers at Walmart just get $10/hr? Why not $20/hr or $50/hr. I think his hearts in the right place but me thinks hes not the sharpest tool in the shed.

[greedyfoot]

Unions got some real dumb things. Being able to force union only employees, firering those that aren't union... that's gonna hurt unions in many areas.

[bakagaijin1488]

Funny how they're trying to abolish the only thing protecting workers' rights, giving corporations tax breaks, further transferring wealth to 1% of the population and people still vote for them.

[6of6]

Very refreshing when interviewers allow Mr Nader to elaborate on the real issues and provide viable solutions. It's no wonder he is dismissed and ridiculed. Sad that most people blindly regurgitate that animosity. Go ahead, let's keep ping ponging between the ONLY two parties every four years.

[usergently]

Fuck you Barry!

[01bdbark]

Obama=bush three

[099749]

@01bdbark

Yeap, What a mug I am I really thought he might make a difference.

[kawaiigardiner]

@01bdbark Of course, as one Bush adviser said, name a single thing that Obama has done differently to Bush - not a single thing I know of that Obama boosters can point to.

Oh, and I'm happy that the law in Wisconsin went through, let the idiots who vote for Republicans and failed to vote in the elections to get a good helping of punishment for their stupidity. I for one have no sympathy for what the Republicans want to unleash onto Americans in 4 years time.

[BorderlineOffensive]

@01bdbark Obama is Bush x 3...

[straty01]

Obama is a puppet

[099749]

@straty01

No one could doubt that today, he came in simply to give america a better image internationally, and he has made American image worse really I think, I mean the hypocracy, atleast if you voted for Mccain you knew what you were getting. Obama has basically done nothing different than Bush would have, just gave a few nice speaches. He's lost it, no hope by the looks of it, doesnt matter who you vote for they are all corporate shills!

[slowmopoke]

omg! riz is attacking the us middle class; i gotta hide...

[AdmiralofTheEmpire]

@slowmopoke yeah after i saw the title i was waiting for the part where he attacked a middle class american...

[xxSerpenttinexx]

For some reason these Aljazeera vids are lagging my comp.

[thedetective22]

@xxSerpenttinexx

really?



[xxSerpenttinexx]

@thedetective22 Yea freezes for like 10 - 20 seconds, but then it works fine

[bakagaijin1488]

@xxSerpenttinexx

Try switching the quality to 240p.

[oceanbound222]

Ralph Nader for PRESIDENT !!! BRILIANCE
