I'm from England. Over the last 6-8 months TYT has really got me interested in American politics, I know more about American politics than my own now :x
granted, cenk, robert and brian agree on most topics so i expect a conversation between them to be rather tame, but they're also so respectful and encouraging to each other. <3
@SUPERPOWERFULLNYAN thats because b4 they were doing the extended clips they were doing many short clips a day (they still do the short clips [usually headline stories]) they started doing this a little while ago so yea they bring more to youtube because ppl enjoy this stuff
Unger hit it with 'No Fun at the Job Fair", because although it is easy for these guys to yuk it up about this, it really only skirts the issue of people loosing their ass on EVERYTHING.
Its getting really sad, and pathetic at street level, and these guys just don't live there. None of the people in media do. Very few anyway. This is why we don't see anyone trying to put this thing out like the 4 alarm fire that it is.
I only have one senator representing me. When I write to them Nelson writes back and either says he agrees with me and is working towards whatever I want or disagrees and gives me a good solid reason why he disagrees. Rubio ALWAYS writes back and disagrees and tells me the reason why is because he doesn't like my position. Doesn't matter what his constituents want, it's all about what HE wants. Well we didn't elect you to represent you, we elected you to represent US. (no, I didn't vote for him)
@jenisedai - don't bother writing these clowns. Seriously, I've written Nelson and like you say, he is basically on board, but he is a former astronaut, and a polished politician. I worte Ross because he is my district, and I get nothing from Ross, because I hear he is just like Rubio. We're wasting our time. We have to march on these ass wipes, AND get SCOTT the hell out!
The ironic thing about the left's response to Mitt Romney's comments is that they actually have nothing to with the legal concept of corporate personate (except, perhaps, indirectly), but instead referred to the idea that policies regarding, say, corporate taxation, affect the people who are involved with those corporation. So, if you tax Exxon or Walmart, you're really taxing the profits of its shareholders, who end up getting smaller dividend cheques. He's not wrong on a factual level.
My area Fort Myers/Cape Coral, FL and the surrounding areas have great news that actually focus on lower political spectrum and local issues. They dig deep into city politicians etc which is fresh to see and I think they might also do congressional stories if the issues arise. I wish more areas were like this.
interesting angle on the socialist advocacy by romney. i'd never considered that, although i also hadn't seen the ad before. but in either case, the american people need to wake up before it is too late. corporations don't give a flying fig about america. with more middle-class in china than in the entire us and india also on the rise, companies have plenty other outlets for their goods besides the "land of the free". continued
continued: so as their profit margins dwindle in america, they collect the losses from the american people in the form of tax write-offs, subsidies, and breaks then fire american workers (which only feeds the cycle of dwindling profits since no one has disposable income) because they no longer need the american economy to survive. until some clawback taxes are enacted to recoup some of that money flowing out of the country, america is definitely in a very real decline. the next decade looks bad.
History lesson for the day: Elbrige Gerry was a Mass. governor that re-drew the state districts to benefit his party. The result were districts that formed the shape of a salamander. Hence the portmanteau; Gerrymandering.
Unger hits it out of the park before the bus left the station. Gerrymandering is without a doubt, the most insidious, horrendous assault on our political machine that no one gives the slightest shit about.
I don't even know what to say to all this. I don't know how these corrupt assholes can sleep at night. People are starving in this country and we are being financially raped by these unscrupulous criminals, and nobody is doing a damn thing about it. I don't know how we can feel anything but anger & helplessness. How can we fight these people with all the money? I have become increasingly ashamed of this country. As far as I'm concerned, they can all go to hell(banks, wall street etc)
The Republicans don't have a plan and they revel in that. They are proud of their do-nothing approach to governance. Their plan is to have no plan. It fits their ideology that any government is bad. All they want to do is take a wrecking ball to government.
Why should Obama and Holder care about doing the right thing? Their base will vote for them no matter what they do. If Obama was caught eating small children live, his supporters would still vote for him.
@megagagnon1 Except that number of people won't get him re-elected. He won because he had the support of the progressives and liberals that he proceeded to lie to and betray.
No offense to Brian Unger, he does a very nice job hosting, he's funny, all that. But I would love to see one of these "panels" with RJ Eskow and Wes Clark Jr. That, my friends, is what is known as an "Epic Panel."
he is 100% correct when he talks about Romneys corporate views are socialist. Karl Marx approved of the LLC corporate structure, today ALL publicly traded corporations are by default LLC.
@xardas411 yes they do, they've interviewed him in the past and he gets more positive coverage than negative, they certainly don't endorse him wholeheartedly but where they agree they acknowledge it. cenk generaly staes that he respects him for his consistency and his principles
@Trichomes503 No but if the CEO uses his business to be a corrupt asshole he can be put in prison, so can any other member of staff. Romneys point is that businesses are made of people and if you tax them more you end up taxing the staff and customers more because they have to raise margins on goods sold and lower wages paid.
So we got a fat liberal, a guy from huffington and a guy from NPR. Fair and balanced guys. At least O'Reilly has 2 conservatives and 1 liberal. You guys could do with something other than hybrid driving commies on ur staff.
@inademv The corporate media wants more corporate stooges in power like Bush or Obama. The last person corporate media wants in office is Ron Paul. Corporate power rises as the size of government increases, which explains why multinational corporations (and banksters) utterly rule DC. Corporate media wants to marginalize Ron Paul as much as possible.
@megagagnon1 Nobody with a brain wants Ron Paul in power. Also it is funny that you would suggest that it is corporate interests that keep Paul from the center stage considering that his anti-regulation libertardian ideals would let them legally run amok more than they already are.
@inademv If corporations really wanted Ron Paul in power, why have they marginalized him for decades? And why does corporate media ignore him or slight him at every turn? You don't think corporations and banksters are running amok now?
@megagagnon1 Because it is easier for them to maintain their control with the regulations they bought to have so much more control over their respective markets. They would have to work much harder to reorganize their control (which they wouldn't lose btw) if Paul came in and fucked up regulations like he says he would.
@inademv Big corporations write the regulations for their industry, and tailor those regulations to destroy small competitors. So you're part right - scrapping most of the regulations would mean a freer market and more competition. But that doesn't mean companies would be free to pollute with abandon. The government would have sentinel duty and take the egregious polluters to court. The way it is right now, corporations never had it so good. Control of the govt and suppression of competition.
@megagagnon1 Corporations as a whole have not marginalized Ron Paul. They have paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions for his policies. However, while Ron Paul fights to give more advantages to the rich and powerful, his paymasters find that all Republicans and most Democrats offer more lucrative returns on investment.
Corporations prefer the status quo, then Ron Paul, then anything except responsible policy favored by Progressives.
@megagagnon1 why are 'tards jumping on the Ron Paul bandwagon? He's been my congressional rep. for as long as I can remember, and his old timey monetary ideas would empower mining companies and metal hoarders thereby crushing the economy . You guys really want monopolistic trusts, (totally) unregulated banks, and speculators running the country as if they didn't have enough power. Go back to 19th century... Teddy Roosevelt is turning over in his grave.
@jeois411 He's running for president, not king. Do you actually think he'd be able to change our financial system all by himself? Right now, bankers rule DC. There should be quite a few bankers in prison, instead many of them were put in the Obama administration. Nobody wants unregulated anything, least of all banks. Ron Paul is against central banking, and considering all the damage they've done and all the power the Federal Reserve has the reasons for that are more obvious.
@jeois411 Empower mining companies? I live in Nevada - Harry Reid has done an incredible job protecting the mining industries interests. They make billions in profits and pay practically no taxes and wreck the environment with impunity. And the 1872 mining law still applies - they can buy public lands for $5 an acre or less. Imagine they taxed your paycheck like they tax the mining companies. Imagine you made $30,000 per year gross. You'd end up paying about $12 total in taxes per year.
@megagagnon1 Of course he's no king; I'm grateful he's only my congressman about to retire. It's obvious you haven't researched Ron Paul's positions. He does, in fact, favor of deregulation of banks (along with everything). He supports elimination of income/corporate taxes. Pegging (private, not national) currencies to the supply of specie would cause massive deflation, ruin the economy, and empower mining/hoarding. Your tangent on land deals is small potatoes compared to his radical ideas.
@jeois411 I have read two of Ron Pauls books, been to his online library quite a few times, and subscribe to his youtube channel. I've watched him on youtube videos more than 100 times.You're pretending he can make the radical changes you imagine he advocates - and he's not advocating doing them all at once as you imagine. For example he introduced a bill that would eliminate any sales tax on sales of gold or gold coin in order to spur competing hard currencies like they have in Indonesia. con'd
@jeois411 A lot of people blame the financial crisis on the partial repeal of the Glass Steagal Act, which was done through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act in 1999.Only two men that i know of fought against this - Senator Dorgan and Congressman Paul.That flies in the face of your idea that he advocates no regulation. He believes in small government and minimal regulation - he believes the government should be a sentinel, alert to criminal behavior and ready to prosecute corporate wrongdoers in court
@jeois411 You're pretending Ron Paul would be an omnipotent king if elected president. You imagine he'd be able to enact every radical change he's ever advocated. He'd be lucky if he managed to slow down spending a bit. About the only thing he'd manage to do virtually on his own would be to pull out the troops from the useless wars. He'd also push hard for the legalization of marijuana on the federal level, leaving the states to decide their own drug policies.
@megagagnon1 You're naive to think he'll only enact plans you like, e.g. peace, etc. The public is quite ill-informed and misled, which will affect composition of the next Congress, so who knows what may happen... you have people who didn't believe a default is a default there now. Most economists can tell you slowing down spending right after a recession is terrible. (Or, you're brain-washed by his rhetoric into thinking axiom based policy rather than empirical evidence is the way to go.)
@jeois411 "Most economists" = government paid economists or economists hired by corporations to lie. Government spending in and of itself doesn't help our economy, and leaves us with more debt that will hurt us down the road. The prosperity of a nation is the aggregate of all that it produces in goods and services. If the govt hires a million men to dig holes, and a million men to fill in those holes, they haven't produced anything. That's what government bureaucrats do - unproductive jobs.
@megagagnon1 Perhaps you should read a whole range of books based on empirical data besides only ones derived from 19th century Austrians' whims. Nobody suggested digging and filling holes yet you use this silly talking point analogy. In developed economies, ones with relatively high rates of taxation and spending outperform those with the opposite on most indicators. However, you'll just dismiss a century of academic research as lies sponsored by gov't/corporations.
@jeois411 It's not a silly talking point, that's exactly what govt employees are doing. One group produces reports no one ever reads, another compiling statistics and facts that will never be used. This mountain of paperwork they "produce" is not productive at all. There are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of such workers - and that's just on the federal level. All of those unproductive paper pushers could be producing for this country, instead they're wasted.
@megagagnon1 And workers in various firms aren't involved in any paper-pushing? Again, like dead Austrians, you got this whimsical notion about how things should work and what "productivity" means in your mind, but you don't back it up with any real world data/evidence... then, you propose we implement policy to reflect these abstract ideas simply because it sounds good. Sure, eliminating waste sounds great. Ron Paul's entire economic theory: "Sounds good, but doesn't mean shit."--disaster.
@jeois411 Private companies can waste money if they want, i don't care about that. I care about massive government waste because that's our burden. There's far more accountability in private business than government. For instance, medicare loses at least 10% through fraud. Credit card companies lose 1/10 of 1% through fraud. The government, most especially the federal govt, loses massive amounts of money through waste, fraud, and inefficiency. It doesn't make sense to feed that beast.
@megagagnon1 Uh, Medicare has much lower overhead than private health insurance; what do credit cards have to do with it? Apples and oranges. More accountability in private business? HA, have you worked for a business? And, you're still using talking points like "feed the beast" which don't mean shit. Everything in government is semi-transparent, if you want to know, file a FOIA. You can't say the same thing about corporations... if you ask what they're doing they'll say "fuck off."
@megagagnon1 LOL, you tried to compare credit cards to medical coverage. I told the truth about healthcare overhead; gave evidence of tax/spending levels in governments. You clearly don't know modern economics... repeating Republican points like "feed the beast" and "digging/filling holes." Clearly, we have to have enforcement of rules so we don't have chaos, but you want let banks and speculators do whatever, instead blaming gov't for everything. Who's delusional?
@00benlinus00 The difference is that they don't pretend to be fair and balanced in the way that fox does. If you want to watch a shouting match between two sides watch something else. Did you watch the whole clip anyway? They are just as critical of the democrat position in regard to the financial meltdown and the lack of proper investigation. I find it hard to understand why those on the right aren't in favour of going after the people behind the financial disaster.
@TYSONHAWKE lol im at the mob rule part where cenk is impressed by a mob of idiots shouting we want jobs. Just the same type of idiots who rioted in my country, England.
@00benlinus00 So people who want their politicians to address and prioritise unemployment and job creation and and are unhappy that their elected representative is trotting out ideological talking points instead are the eqivalent of opportunist looters? Do you seriously believe that the rioters here in the UK are comparable to the kind of concerned citizens who attend political hustings? Who is the idiot?

I don't even know what to say to all this. I don't know how these corrupt assholes can sleep at night. People are starving in this country and we are being financially raped by these unscrupulous criminals, and nobody is doing a damn thing about it. I don't know how we can feel anything but anger & helplessness. How can we fight these people with all the money? I have become increasingly ashamed of this country. As far as I'm concerned, they can all go to hell(banks, wall street etc)

The Republicans don't have a plan and they revel in that. They are proud of their do-nothing approach to governance. Their plan is to have no plan. It fits their ideology that any government is bad. All they want to do is take a wrecking ball to government.

Why should Obama and Holder care about doing the right thing? Their base will vote for them no matter what they do. If Obama was caught eating small children live, his supporters would still vote for him.

@Trichomes503 No but if the CEO uses his business to be a corrupt asshole he can be put in prison, so can any other member of staff. Romneys point is that businesses are made of people and if you tax them more you end up taxing the staff and customers more because they have to raise margins on goods sold and lower wages paid.

@inademv The corporate media wants more corporate stooges in power like Bush or Obama. The last person corporate media wants in office is Ron Paul. Corporate power rises as the size of government increases, which explains why multinational corporations (and banksters) utterly rule DC. Corporate media wants to marginalize Ron Paul as much as possible.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 Nobody with a brain wants Ron Paul in power. Also it is funny that you would suggest that it is corporate interests that keep Paul from the center stage considering that his anti-regulation libertardian ideals would let them legally run amok more than they already are.
inademv 6 months ago
@inademv If corporations really wanted Ron Paul in power, why have they marginalized him for decades? And why does corporate media ignore him or slight him at every turn? You don't think corporations and banksters are running amok now?
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 Because it is easier for them to maintain their control with the regulations they bought to have so much more control over their respective markets. They would have to work much harder to reorganize their control (which they wouldn't lose btw) if Paul came in and fucked up regulations like he says he would.
inademv 6 months ago
@inademv Big corporations write the regulations for their industry, and tailor those regulations to destroy small competitors. So you're part right - scrapping most of the regulations would mean a freer market and more competition. But that doesn't mean companies would be free to pollute with abandon. The government would have sentinel duty and take the egregious polluters to court. The way it is right now, corporations never had it so good. Control of the govt and suppression of competition.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 Corporations as a whole have not marginalized Ron Paul. They have paid him hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions for his policies. However, while Ron Paul fights to give more advantages to the rich and powerful, his paymasters find that all Republicans and most Democrats offer more lucrative returns on investment.
Corporations prefer the status quo, then Ron Paul, then anything except responsible policy favored by Progressives.

@megagagnon1 why are 'tards jumping on the Ron Paul bandwagon? He's been my congressional rep. for as long as I can remember, and his old timey monetary ideas would empower mining companies and metal hoarders thereby crushing the economy . You guys really want monopolistic trusts, (totally) unregulated banks, and speculators running the country as if they didn't have enough power. Go back to 19th century... Teddy Roosevelt is turning over in his grave.

@jeois411 He's running for president, not king. Do you actually think he'd be able to change our financial system all by himself? Right now, bankers rule DC. There should be quite a few bankers in prison, instead many of them were put in the Obama administration. Nobody wants unregulated anything, least of all banks. Ron Paul is against central banking, and considering all the damage they've done and all the power the Federal Reserve has the reasons for that are more obvious.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@jeois411 Empower mining companies? I live in Nevada - Harry Reid has done an incredible job protecting the mining industries interests. They make billions in profits and pay practically no taxes and wreck the environment with impunity. And the 1872 mining law still applies - they can buy public lands for $5 an acre or less. Imagine they taxed your paycheck like they tax the mining companies. Imagine you made $30,000 per year gross. You'd end up paying about $12 total in taxes per year.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 Of course he's no king; I'm grateful he's only my congressman about to retire. It's obvious you haven't researched Ron Paul's positions. He does, in fact, favor of deregulation of banks (along with everything). He supports elimination of income/corporate taxes. Pegging (private, not national) currencies to the supply of specie would cause massive deflation, ruin the economy, and empower mining/hoarding. Your tangent on land deals is small potatoes compared to his radical ideas.
jeois411 6 months ago
@jeois411 I have read two of Ron Pauls books, been to his online library quite a few times, and subscribe to his youtube channel. I've watched him on youtube videos more than 100 times.You're pretending he can make the radical changes you imagine he advocates - and he's not advocating doing them all at once as you imagine. For example he introduced a bill that would eliminate any sales tax on sales of gold or gold coin in order to spur competing hard currencies like they have in Indonesia. con'd
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@jeois411 A lot of people blame the financial crisis on the partial repeal of the Glass Steagal Act, which was done through the Gramm-Leach-Bliley act in 1999.Only two men that i know of fought against this - Senator Dorgan and Congressman Paul.That flies in the face of your idea that he advocates no regulation. He believes in small government and minimal regulation - he believes the government should be a sentinel, alert to criminal behavior and ready to prosecute corporate wrongdoers in court
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@jeois411 You're pretending Ron Paul would be an omnipotent king if elected president. You imagine he'd be able to enact every radical change he's ever advocated. He'd be lucky if he managed to slow down spending a bit. About the only thing he'd manage to do virtually on his own would be to pull out the troops from the useless wars. He'd also push hard for the legalization of marijuana on the federal level, leaving the states to decide their own drug policies.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 You're naive to think he'll only enact plans you like, e.g. peace, etc. The public is quite ill-informed and misled, which will affect composition of the next Congress, so who knows what may happen... you have people who didn't believe a default is a default there now. Most economists can tell you slowing down spending right after a recession is terrible. (Or, you're brain-washed by his rhetoric into thinking axiom based policy rather than empirical evidence is the way to go.)
jeois411 6 months ago
@jeois411 "Most economists" = government paid economists or economists hired by corporations to lie. Government spending in and of itself doesn't help our economy, and leaves us with more debt that will hurt us down the road. The prosperity of a nation is the aggregate of all that it produces in goods and services. If the govt hires a million men to dig holes, and a million men to fill in those holes, they haven't produced anything. That's what government bureaucrats do - unproductive jobs.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 Perhaps you should read a whole range of books based on empirical data besides only ones derived from 19th century Austrians' whims. Nobody suggested digging and filling holes yet you use this silly talking point analogy. In developed economies, ones with relatively high rates of taxation and spending outperform those with the opposite on most indicators. However, you'll just dismiss a century of academic research as lies sponsored by gov't/corporations.
jeois411 6 months ago
@jeois411 It's not a silly talking point, that's exactly what govt employees are doing. One group produces reports no one ever reads, another compiling statistics and facts that will never be used. This mountain of paperwork they "produce" is not productive at all. There are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of such workers - and that's just on the federal level. All of those unproductive paper pushers could be producing for this country, instead they're wasted.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 And workers in various firms aren't involved in any paper-pushing? Again, like dead Austrians, you got this whimsical notion about how things should work and what "productivity" means in your mind, but you don't back it up with any real world data/evidence... then, you propose we implement policy to reflect these abstract ideas simply because it sounds good. Sure, eliminating waste sounds great. Ron Paul's entire economic theory: "Sounds good, but doesn't mean shit."--disaster.
jeois411 6 months ago
@jeois411 Private companies can waste money if they want, i don't care about that. I care about massive government waste because that's our burden. There's far more accountability in private business than government. For instance, medicare loses at least 10% through fraud. Credit card companies lose 1/10 of 1% through fraud. The government, most especially the federal govt, loses massive amounts of money through waste, fraud, and inefficiency. It doesn't make sense to feed that beast.
megagagnon1 6 months ago
@megagagnon1 Uh, Medicare has much lower overhead than private health insurance; what do credit cards have to do with it? Apples and oranges. More accountability in private business? HA, have you worked for a business? And, you're still using talking points like "feed the beast" which don't mean shit. Everything in government is semi-transparent, if you want to know, file a FOIA. You can't say the same thing about corporations... if you ask what they're doing they'll say "fuck off."

You clearly don't know modern economics... repeating Republican points like "feed the beast" and "digging/filling holes." Clearly, we have to have enforcement of rules so we don't have chaos, but you want let banks and speculators do whatever, instead blaming gov't for everything. Who's delusional?

@00benlinus00 The difference is that they don't pretend to be fair and balanced in the way that fox does. If you want to watch a shouting match between two sides watch something else. Did you watch the whole clip anyway? They are just as critical of the democrat position in regard to the financial meltdown and the lack of proper investigation. I find it hard to understand why those on the right aren't in favour of going after the people behind the financial disaster.
