  • And this fat shit just says "look at you sitting in a studio" as if he knew all about his job but then goes and turns around when confronted and says he knows nothing about loggers?

    So he knows about studios but not loggers? More like he was just called out and kept dancing around the honest answer. This dude is a prick.

  • Unions in any mass transit is bad bad news, when I lived in Syracuse, NY and Staten Island, NY I had to take the mass transit and it was the WORST thing ever.

    The buses were dirty all the time, the drivers didn't give two SHITS about the passengers...I'd even see drivers talk rude to people asking route questions ALL.OF.THE.TIME.

    Why? Because they are in a union and won't lose their job, so they don't give two shits if people are happy. No competition = No care.

  • Government has been taking away from the makers and give to the takers? Is that why there are more billionaire and millionaires then ever before? The fucking conservative movement has no shame on how much they're willing to fuck the middle class.

  • @vcdna1 Who pays for these programs? You think it's the rich who have numerous tax shelters and overseas investments, as well as teams of professional tax attorneys and accountants to help them pay far less than upper middle class people and small business owners? Very naive. The super-rich often become so in part by using loopholes that are put into tax legislation by politicians to ensure they get corporate backing while still appearing to be for the "disadvantaged". Very, very naive.

  • @vcdna1 A good portion of those billionaires are takers i.e. bialouts!

  • Did John Stossel really just say 'in the private sector there are no monopolies' ?

    ...

    Uhh...

    What the hell.

    How ignorant is this guy.

  • @Staticnz Do you know of any?

  • @samuils you've never seen Africa, you've never heard of Shell or BP? Never heard of Microsoft, Monsanto, Walmart, the United Fruit Company, Halliburton...nothing?

  • @Staticnz Im not sure what Africa has to do with anything. I assume you think that companies you have mentioned are your examples of monopolies. Shell and BP are very well in competition with many other oil companies. Microsoft is in competition with Apple. Halliburton is but one large contractor, there are numerous others, United Fruit company competed with the Standard Fruit Company. Monopoly=sole and FULL control of a given trade.

  • @samuils you don't know what Africa has to do with anything because you are ignorant of that continent's brutal history with corporate exploitation.

    You realize they had to use the law against Microsoft to open up competition. There's your free market.

    These companies have total monopolies in certain countries...that's why I mention Africa. Shell has a monopoly on Iraqi oil. BP was sued in Russia for monopolising the market. Halliburton tries to corner the market and strong arm others out.

  • @Staticnz I said I dont know what it has to do with anything, because history of exploitation isnt a monopoly. Microsoft and Apple have been competing almost since the beginning, way before the law on Microsoft was imposed. There is a list of companies in Iraq you can find them on on google not just one. BP NEVER help monopoly in Russia Im from Russia dont bs me pls. Rusneft one comes to mind already. Halliburton no matter what they do are still not a monopoly

  • @samuils the thing is, there is a difference between monopolies and monopolistic practices. You seem to not think the former exists, which they have in certain countries and times (Standard Oil and Monsanto have had real true monopolies), and monopolistic practices are something you are alright with it seems. You don't like competition, you like it when governments and corporations, and regimes, and corporations with one another, get in bed and fuck up competition.

  • @Staticnz Well what Im ok with, is the contrary of what you think. I am very much so in favor of competition and very much against government intervention. Not sure where you got the idea. There is nothing wrong with a business that is trying to bring the cheapest and the best product, ina legitimate manner of course. And if that corporation becomes big, then good for them

  • @samuils I get the idea from your arguments, which is denying the existence of monopolies, denies the right for smaller entities to be able to compete. You are going for the argument that the cheaper the goods (more slave labor), the larger the stock (massive buying power), and the bigger the market share, magically the better it is for competition. That's a libertarian fantasy world, expecting the market to simply act in the interest of all. What a joke that is. What a sham.

  • @Staticnz WEll you have yet to prove an existence of one, look at the definition of a monopoly please. None of the companies you have mentioned falls under the definition. Im not denying, they are simply not there. And businesses act in their own interests, to bring a cheaper better product means more sales for them. And please what slave labor?

  • @Staticnz International corporations pay a slightly higher wage that of the local wages, so unless you are willing to say that those countries they are in, are nothing but slave vats, its not slave labor.

  • @Staticnz Wallmart is competing with an array of other companies doing the same

  • @samuils walmart is the king of crushing small business.

  • @Staticnz And wallmart is still very far from a monopoly. The tactics of a business do not make them a monopoly.

  • @samuils tell those talking points of yours to the countless small businesses they've crushed.

  • @Staticnz So I should go tell small business that Wall mart isnt a monopoly even though, some businesses couldnt compete? I think they will agree with me

  • @samuils yes I'm sure they'll agree that the buying power of Walmart crushing their business was just their fault. I'm sure they'll be grateful you come to spit on them when they failed.

  • @Staticnz Dont weir off the subject I never placed a fault on anyone. Businesses fail its the nature of any market. In San Francisco Wall Mart wasnt allowed, you cant honestly tell me that no businesses failed. Cal Foods failed, and many other smaller shops as well. 

  • This documentary translates to money = good.

    If you make money you are a hero.

    However, if you just help people, such as being a bus drviver, or train conductor, to get people to work, you are a parasite that should be spat upon.

    This is nothing more than class warfare.

    Anyone that has ever made money is automatically some kind of hero.

    Honestly John Stossel disgusts me.

  • @Staticnz He didnt say anything about a bus driver, were you listening? He was talking about private sector Unions, and not just the fact that they exist, but rather that public sector unions drive up deficit spending to no end and they never care if they brake a company or any budget. Thats what he was talking about. And yes, if you start a business and actually make it, you are a hero

  • @samuils no, he was denigrating those people. It is as plain as the nose on my face. If he was making such a rational point why was he being an asshole. This is class warfare...warfare on the struggling, more money for those that are already well off. The way you talk is simply Orwellian, just like Stossel.

  • @Staticnz Relax on insults, they will not prove your point. He said nothing about bus drivers who are not in unions, nor did he say anything about bus drivers at all. He was talking about Unions that are making ridiculous dealings. Unions are far from struggling. And unions are not a class of citizens. Its an organization

  • @samuils what insults. He is being an asshole, and your language is Orwellian, and this is class warfare on poor folks. That's just the facts.

  • @Staticnz This translates into, if you are creating jobs=you are good. And class warfare is what progressives do, yelling that rich dont deserve what they made. Public sector union isnt a class it the same worker on a different payroll.  I hope you realize that we are running up huge deficits which can not be sustained. If we dont cut this crap out we will all suffer greatly.

  • Lololol!!! Look at Stossel's face when the union man says bus drivers got hepatitis from being SPAT ON!!!
