"Job Creation For Complete Idiots" by Old Fart Rants

[baxtar2012]

Old Fart I like how the GOP smashes Obama's American Jobs Act which was all paid for with cuts but they are crying about Obama not signing the oil pipeline deal which was so tactfully put into the unemployment extension bill, they are crying that it will kill 30,000 jobs if the pipeline doesn't get built. Actually it might make a few thousand temp jobs building it but the real jobs start when it fucking blows up and they have to hire us to clean up the oil spills.

[SquirrelyShirlz]

I find it hilarious when repubs argue that the rich deserve all their money because they earned it. They should be able to keep the money but only if they perform ALL the work required to run a business. No employees allowed. They use the American infrastructure (roads, electricity, police and fire services etc.) but they're above paying taxes that pay for these services! STOP allowing yourself and your fellow middle class Americans to be stomped on in the false name of free-market capitalism.

[formerlymiddleclass]

Republicans don't want to create jobs. They want the president to look bad so they can put another Republican president in the White House in 2012. After 8 years of the disasterous presidency of Dubya Bush, they want to take our country "back" back to a chaotic mess that is.

[Starrsy4]

A freakin moron pretending to be a sage. LOL.

This country has not had a free market in almost 100 years. Your favorite word seems to be "stupid". You are what you speak.

[MAINEPREPPER]

I owned a business before the wars and this video is SPOT ON! When the economy turned down, a tax cut was not what I needed. I needed more customers and specifically, customers who would be willing to pay a fair price for my services. This is a brilliant video! Good job. Unfortunately we have to convince the Republicans that their Religion of Tax Cuts is phoney, it's God is cruel and they are believing a lie.

[Mijmanxx]

You don't need tax reform, you need Corporate reform. You need to make the CEO's accept that they don't DESERVE 300% increase in their salaries. You need to limit the amount that these rich scumbags can earn to be commensurate their people. Increase tariffs on overseas companies based in the US. They ruin their own country's economy and that is treasonous IMO. If CEO's and shareholders didn't demand such grotesque profits, products could still be sold for a decent price and people paid well.

[TheWalpurgis6]

I know this is a late post but when you orate your most informative rant, it's like your inside my head saying exactly what I think,,,,,,creepy cool L8TR The Walpurgis

[MrBigfan007]

Hello Mr. O.F. Look forward to hearing more of your stuff. I was hoping the OWS movement would have gone smoother, but hopefully the99% will persevere.

[davidyack]

How is handing people stimulus money creating jobs? Last i saw, best buy didnt add 10 new cashiers to handle the rush of people buying chinese made tv's with their stimulus checks.

[oldfartrants]

@davidyack 1) No one just "hands people stimulus money". The idea is to use the money to create jobs so they can earn it. 2) When people have money they spend it. That helps businesses sell more product which helps them hire employees. 3) If Best Buy lost a lot of their sales I guarantee you they would lay people off. 4) You really don't get the basics do you?

[PompousPreacher]

I thought unemployment was so high because America has adjusted to a sense of entitlement and we don't want to work anymore. If we just got rid of programs such as unemployment benefits, social security and MediCare, Americans might just work harder. Ask any Republican candidate for presidency, or any Ron Paul fucktard for that matter.

[kamphwagon1]

@PompousPreacher ROFL ,MoRon Paul the 1800s time machine cluster fuck who can't see the forest for his insane fixation on one tree.. MoRon libertarans are what everyone used to call greedy selfserveing pricks that subscribed to Neo Con principals of trickle down economics and giveing the fat cats all the advantages over the working classes, with things like NAFTA ,union busting,and Chinese outscorceing ,forceing the people who used to make the product buy Chinese or Mexican !..

[PompousPreacher]

[brutis65]

Could you produce the event or publication where Bruce Bartlett said "It's just nonsense. It's just made up"? From what I've read, that quote was during an interview about govt. regulation.

[Gmodfreak999]

Have not watched any of your videos until today. You, sir, got yourself a new subscriber.

[IamaKinsey06]

Couldn't have said it better myself! Old Fart you hit the nail right on the head... thanks for trying to explain reality to the braindead sociopaths known as Repugnicans and Teabaggers.

[HelaoHishongwa]

love your videos

[oldfartrants]

@TheBlood2pay Making them pay more would be tax reform ;)

[seataclibertarian]

3:45 well yeah the wealth got sucked up! Thats what happens when you practice socialism, whether its welfare checks for the teenage moms or subsidies for outsourcing CEOS.

[oldfartrants]

@seataclibertarian Oh no - it wasn't Bush's 2 unpaid for wars or his unpaid for tax cuts for the uber rich that sucked up the wealth - it's those welfare checks for the teenage moms which is why you see so many millionaire teenage mothers and everybody on Wall Street is flat broke. What a fucking idiot!

[seataclibertarian]

@oldfartrants I also mentioned CEOS outsourcing while getting money from the government. socialism for the rich, socialism for sluts with 12 kids, either way its killing our economy.

[SimXLive]

@seataclibertarian Now your not just a moron, your an insulting ignorant one too. Go suck your own cock fuckface!

[seataclibertarian]

@SimXLive You have no problem with our money MY MONEY in particular going to some teenager with 8 kids and refusing to work? I thought you guys were against overpopulation!

[Antiks72]

@oldfartrants This is Obummer's war now, and he should have ended those wars as soon as he took office. Both Bush and Obummer have been disasters for the country.

[oldfartrants]

@Antiks72 1st sentence I agree. 2nd sentence I disagree.

[Antiks72]

@oldfartrants Why?

[iolanthela]

@seataclibertarian Nice regurgitation of Fox News Bullshit Talking Points. Ask yourself why a network owned by the 1% tries to tell YOU that this mess is ... everybody's fault but THEIRS!

Then try to figure out why you believe this trough full of hog slop.

[seataclibertarian]

@iolanthela As opposed to the other networks owned by 10%? Like PBS NPR CBS ABC CNN MSNBC?

 tell YOU that this mess is ... everybody's fault but THEIRS!

Really? Taking money away from job producers and giving it to people who do nothing but DOPE and drinkl creates jobs? HOW?

[SimXLive]

@seataclibertarian Try looking the word socialism up, your not even using it the correct context and in words you can understand, your a fucking moron!

[seataclibertarian]

You forgot to mention environmental regulations. They were gonna open up a Trader Joes near Auburn awhile back but the liberals whined it was too close to a wetland and that it would hurt the ducks and leeches that live there.

Ellsworth maine, a poor shit town in maine choose not to build a mall there that would added thousands of much needed jobs cause 1. It was going to be on a mud puddle and 2 it was adjacent to a bird sanctuary. Liberals hate jobs. they care more about birds and bugs.

[Wolfiemouse]

Great question. What would they choose ... tax cuts, or devoted customers? The truth matters and the facts count, or we are truly doomed as a species.

Trickle down, as in pissed on ... disrespected. Thanks for making these videos.

In dollars we trust, no wait .... it is in 'God' we trust. Yeah, right. Me thinks the 'Jesus Spirit' is horrified. Greed, and the money changers, was the only thing that made Him lose his temper, if I remember correctly.

[cherylmarie8100]

Bravo! Very well said. I really don't think Republicans are going to get it. The ones with the power aren't going to give it up and their followers believe all the lies Fox so called News shoves down their throats. Thankfully, Occupy seems to be making a difference. That shows that the majority of Americans finally realize we've been getting screwed and that bullshit is over.

[CenterNews]

"Maybe you're so stupid"

Haha.

The fact is Bartlett has said this awhile back and so has others/ Not to mention that we ourselves have seen it with our own eyes.

But thew fact that we have had 30 years of unregulated propaganda via Reagan killing the Fairness doctrine that we now have people in their 40s who cannot think for themselves. They only believe Rush and the boys. Not facts.

[RENEGADEINK1]

STICK IT TO THE MAN OUT FART \m/ \m/

[Sparkyone2u]

Right on, right on, right on!!!

[baxtar2012]

Fucking spot on Old Fart. Religion is the root of the problem. If you can believe in that horse shit then you can believe in those republican talking points. It's common knowledge in other countries that americans are fucking stupid and thats the way they like it.

[seataclibertarian]

@baxtar2012 Religion is the root of the problem. If you can believe in that horse shit then you can believe in those republican talking points.

I am a Christian and I do not believe everything the GOP says.

It's common knowledge in other countries that americans are fucking stupid

They think that way because their party bosses make them think freedom and liberty are stupid. These same people need the state to feed and clothe them and tell them when to wipe their butts.

[oldfartrants]

@seataclibertarian You worship a cosmic Jewish zombie so he can remove sin all humans have from birth because a naked woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat fruit from a magic tree - but you don't believe everything the GOP says? It's common knowledge in other countries (and right here in America) that people like YOU are fucking stupid! Any questions?

[707hoser]

You are right on, Old Fart. The problem is that the Republicans don't care about facts. Calling for tax cuts for the top 1% is almost a religion which they espouse with fanatical zeal. By blocking any Jobs Plan they are not only hurting their own constituents but the businesses which back them. They may crash the economy but they don't care if they can get rid of the black man in the White House.

[MindEFX]

Tax cuts and deregulations do create jobs, but somewhere else not here in the US. Why would I invest here when I am already on corporate welfare? Make sense?

[MrBushlied]

Old Fart, you're wasting your time preaching to the Republicans. The Republican pundits know full well that tax cuts for the rich won't create jobs; but will create larger cash donations from the rich. The Tea Bagging Foxtards are so stupid that they'll believe anything that Fox Noise and the GOPig pundits tell them. You're literally casting your pearls before swine!

[Laughingblades]

Subsidizing Worker Cooperatives would help a lot, the top down business model is flawed because it siphons wealth to the top, to the 1%.

[Laughingblades]

Some ideas to create jobs is to increase tariffs on foreign imports so that it's more expensive to outsource labor and import cheap goods, so more Americans will be put to work, and sell American goods to American consumers, thus propping up our own economy.

Also, Worker Cooperatives, Workers own the company, workers share in the cost and earnings of the company, workers democratically manage the company. This means more evenly distributed wealth in the community and more prosperous workers.

[gordonsblackhi]

This guy is one of the best commentators about reality on the Internet. We are all being bombarded by a well-financed, centrally orchestrated right wing email-propaganda program, entirely made up of outright lies, that has won real traction with the poorly educated and fearful across America. This guy hits the nail correctly over an over again, with humor and facts, and I am going to start circulating him to other "adults", not including many Republicans.

[GypsyMofakka]

I'll have to disagree with your stat that only 2/3 of teabagger and Republican voters are stupid. Put another third in there and you got my support.

[BobDaniel56]

big fan! Keep telling it like it is!

[prodigyat9]

I owned and operated a business for over 20 years and every single day I made as much money as I could and paying less in taxes would never ever have had any effect on how much money I made. I would never have decided to not invest money in my company just because I did not like my tax rate. It is, as you say, utter nonsense. Companies fail because they can't get enough people to buy their widgets NOT because the owner pays income tax.

[BrotherAlpha]

@prodigyat9 As I've said in the past... GM doesn't create jobs by making cars. The middle class creates jobs by buying cars.

[prodigyat9]

@BrotherAlpha

Well GM also makes money by asking the US gov for a 50 billion dollar handout but otherwise your point is good. :)

[Antiks72]

@prodigyat9 The real reason conservatives want lower tax rates is to bankrupt the country, or as Grover Norquist put it, "strangle the government in a bathtub." That way, they can buy up every piece of public property at a huge discount and start profiting off of it. Just imagine being charged up the wazoo to go fishing, or imagine your national parks turned into lucrative tourist resorts.

[YiddishPoetry]

short & right to the point.  5 stars, old fart.

[Stingerbillion]

Job creation takes place by: Government and private sector investments (spending, for those who are stupid), education, innovation, entrepreneurs, not starting wars, cutting spending waste (military), regulations, cutting waste aid to terrorist country(ies), and consumer demand. All of these things are lagging in this country since the beginning of 2000. If you still believe tax cuts = "trickle down economics", then you are retard and you need special help.

[Apophiswillkillus]

@oldfartrants Your videos keep getting better. I had to like and favorite this one. Keep up the outstanding work!

[GoodVibezin]

@oldfartrants Great video man! I've thought about trickle-down economics for a long time. Here's a similar term you might like: Trickle-down neurotics. I think it more accurately reflects our corrupt political system. Like a totem pole, everyone shits on those below them. It trickles down, making people crazy. The people on the bottom get shit on the most, but the people at the top who created all the shit to begin with don't get shit on. They just shit - but of course, their shit don't stink!

[RepublicansAreNazis]

Capitalism needs to die !!! there is nothing good About it !!! slavery was built on capitalism

[seataclibertarian]

@RepublicansAreNazis Tell that to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn or Lou Xiaboa. Or any of the millions in Communist liberal china that work 120hrs a week for 50 cents an hour.

[RepublicansAreNazis]

@seataclibertarian who said anything about China or Communism they are just as bad as Capitalism.they both are very currupted.they need a very new system of Government.thank your RepubliTard Party for out sourcing jobs to china so that they can work 120 hrs a week for 50 cents. the very same way we are going with Neo Naiz Cons , that you love so much ! GOP( Greed Over People ) if RepubliTARDS had there way we would be working for lower then china. they don't want to push up that wages in the USA

[seataclibertarian]

@RepublicansAreNazis who said anything about China or Communism they are just as bad as Capitalism

yet the past century people flee communist countries like e. Germany, russia cuba and so on to come here.

.thank your RepubliTard Party

im not a republican Im an independent.

and im not going to answer the rest of you crazy rant. BLAAAAHGGHHH!! GREED OVER PEOPLE!!!!!!! REPUBLITARDSD!!!111 NAZI CONS!!!! THEY DONT WANNA PUSH UP WAGES!!!!

[BoredomCorner]

@seataclibertarian Unless you're talking about the East, Germany was never communist.

[RepublicansAreNazis]

@seataclibertarian i was talking about the slave trade & Capitalism !!! Now Capitalism once again trying to make slaves out the people. thanks to the GOP's Greed Over People.you want to talk about slave wages . RepubliTARDS never want to move up the minum wages in this country. they are to busy Giving there Corperate Over Lords whatever they want. as long as they are getting something from it.if the Dems have take the congress in 2006, Repugs would made minum wages go from 1994 til now. so sad !

[seataclibertarian]

@RepublicansAreNazis Yeah Im talking about the slave trade and socialism.

!!!

Calm down now...

Repugs would made minum wages go from 1994 til now. so sad !

good. then it would be easy to make jobs. history shows that raisingn the minimum wage leads to lay offs and higher lving costs.

[BoredomCorner]

@seataclibertarian Many companies can make jobs right now, they'd just rather farm those jobs out to China to get even more money in their pockets.

[BoredomCorner]

@seataclibertarian China is many things but it is NOT liberal. Many you haven't heard about their human rights and free speech records.

[1140Cecile]

Seeing that most Republicans I know suffer from the Dunning-Kruger effect, in order to get them to watch this video you would have to re-title it to "What the Wise Already Know about Job Creation". Now, I know, about 1/4 of the way in they'll begin realizing that they are the stupid people you're talking about and quickly click to stop watching but perhaps the little they did hear will seep into and improve their little brains.

[mejt1958]

Thank you old fart for giving people the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cedarpose]

Right on

[cujomade101]

Well stated sir!

[PompousPreacher]

Ron Paulbots want you to remember the left/right paradigm.

[ViciousDave4Life]

Republicans don't work because of there big business tax cuts and theories of bullshit like trickle down theory. Democrats don't work because there plans always backfire and than we get screwed in the end of it all with all the government officials going yah and nah on new plans. Ron Paul may be a republican, but god damn, he has several good things in plan. End immigrant welfare! Protect our borders! Go back to the gold standard and get rid of the central bank shit!

[TheRiffCalendar]

I thought you said "midgets" XD

[FeelFreeToArgue]

I get mad w/ intractable poisonous beliefs in my own videos sometimes. Whenever possible, though, I try to withdraw from these situations & get less personal, more analytical. Lots of evidence proves tax breaks don't create jobs - the reason people reject this information & cling to the job creation myth must therefore be stronger, i.e. emotional, not rational. It's tied up in how we CONCEIVE of The American Dream, and other things like marketplaces & healthy competition. Underlying assumptions.

[FeelFreeToArgue]

As a disaffected progressive myself, I admit the vast majority of what you have to say in this video is accurate. I question, though, the wisdom of constantly calling the people you're trying to persuade idiots. You call them idiots so many times that it is hard to imagine any of them making it to your big punch line about Reagan's economist. I say this as someone who understands why you are angry - my point is merely tactical.

Is it just a rant, or are you trying to persuade?

[oldfartrants]

@FeelFreeToArgue I guess you haven't read some of the comments I get ;)

[Antiks72]

@oldfartrants He also doesn't know what people like Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hanity and the rest of em say about liberals on the daily basis. Making these people see their own stupidity should be our life mission. Keep it up.

[shango02005]

@FeelFreeToArgue With all due respect, sometimes ridicule is the best weapon.

[wistoncap]

The American political system is so deeply corrupt and controlled by the top 1% that what Lucy Parsons had to say 100yrs ago is just -- if not more -- true today "never be decieved that the rich will allow you to vote away thier wealth". There will be no change of any consequence until after the whole thing comes crashing down, and the change that comes at that time can go many different ways, and not all of them positive. In my more utopian moments I look to South America, Chavez, Morales

[derail14]

captilism is a good system but these rich pigs took advantage of it, ever hear the saying to much of a good thing is bad? fuck these greedy dogs & the gop who always stands up for them, they don,t want millions or billions any more, they want trillions and now the shit has hit the fan,, good luck gop cuz yer gonna need it in 2012 the cock brots nonwithstanding.

[tw0069]

But if you give the Corporations a tax break they have more money to fund the political campaigns, after all, Corporations are people too.

[237Michael]

Nice video! Bush destroyed the U.S.A. Obama, the auto-proclamed "Mr. Hope and Change", is doing nothing to solve the problems, since he is in the pocket of the Corporations, the Bankers and the Israeli/AIPAC lobby. So, the only hope left to the U.S. lies in the brave souls of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

[usergently]

Truth, Old Fart way!. TY!

[BoredomCorner]

I'm calling for votes, for the 2011 Douchebag of the Year, and this video makes a good argument for giving that award to the Republicans.

Please visit my channel or message me, if you think they deserve it.

[BigMrFirebird]

P&LOF

[LouieDaProtectionist]

all large corporations are considered S corps which split them into many small businesses.

[seataclibertarian]

@LouieDaProtectionist Nope. Its the other way. Liberals call small business S corps to make them look richer than they are and to make excuses for why they need to be plundered and destroyed. Stalin used that logic during the 30s against the Kulaks and the Jews.

[BoredomCorner]

@seataclibertarian Actually no, most liberals that I hear from, use "corporations" to describe massive companies with BILLION dollar incomes.

[angrywhenroused]

would Bruce Bartlett not be classed by the current Republican mindset as a RINO?

[JoeDixon]

Clearly that Republican you quote has been brain washed by a Kenyan!

Great video man, but the stupid won't get it because they don't want too. 

[Netwriter]

Great vid you old coot.

[phildirt3]

i always watch your whole video fart dude

[IntuitiveLeap]

i think there is a case to be made that things have progressed to a point where partisan politics are somewhat of a waste of time, relative to the bloodbath in the streets waiting to happen and the recent news that talks have been discontinued as they relate to curbing speculation of a predatory nature in critical food markets. it is gonna be an interesting ride, and there is no democratic or republican way to build a working system of government when moneyed interests invented the entire game.

[MacNutz2]

You have to be religious, at least able to believe that fantasy is real and bullshit eatable, to believe in the idea that giving tax and other breaks to the ultra wealthy creates jobs. It creates more wealth for the perversely rich.

The corporations receiving those breaks were exporting American jobs at a phenomenal rate at the same time. This truly voodoo economics.

[anoldcrow]

@MacNutz2 well, if you want to be progressive you are gonna need money and thus you need to tax the rich more, to avoid that, or at least to withstand it, big business will have to take its business elsewhere. the choice is trust in the spontaneous order of a free market and unbiased laws or pursue a progressive agenda funded partly by the super rich, partly by the independent sketchy central bank, and party by china where the super rich are heading.

[rockyamstel007]

Right on the button Old Fart.....I knew the "trickle down B.S." was a hoax from the start.....just such a pity that so many stupid people keep falling for this message from the Rethuglicans.....i.e. the tea party types.....keep the video coming....words of wisdom to start my day are ALWAYS welcome!!!

[onlywhenprovoked]

Well, if i cared about the future of the company and/or the future of this country, then I would obviously opt for having a continued flow of customers that have money to spend.

But, if I was the type that only cared about cashing in, retiring as young as possible and only looking out for the future of my immediate family...

then I would obviously take the tax breaks, move my company to China, buy myself a harem and go sip drinks on a tropical beach far, far, far away from all of this shit.

[anoldcrow]

@onlywhenprovoked well if you give everybody money, doesnt that cause inflation? also for the business that closes after the self serving boss is fed up with the whole rat race or whatever, dont you think if he was selling anything worth while then someone would fill in that gap in the market quite eagerly? lets say steve jobs just stopped after the ipod, called it quits, dont you think some other company would sell iTech and even try improving on it?

[MindEFX]

Well said. "In Greed we can't trust."

[anoldcrow]

@MindEFX i find envy far more destructive

[MindEFX]

@anoldcrow LOL... Greed will destroy everything.. even your democracy as it is happening now in US. 

[anoldcrow]

@MindEFX greed motivates someone to get something, it gets shit done, envy is what inspires someone steal from others and it delights in making one person as miserable as another. initiating force against someone is regressive, and that includes asking for a taxpayer bailout so dont get me wrong, im no elitist.

[KasparHauser6]

[Briarboyfl]

Another new subscriber who believes that you have it RIGHT, The right have it terribly wrong. You've clearly begun to get through to soime of us. May your messages be heard by more with the ideals of America in our best interests. Love your videos....keep 'em coming. We old farts gotta stand for something or the nation as a whole will continue to fall for anything.

[derail14]

all i can say is you voters fell for the neo-con lies in 2010 when they all said its about creating more jobs, ha ha you dumb asses got excatly what ya payed for-NOTHING........

[daedamot]

Brilliant. Well said. This video needs to be seen by every single conservative politician in Congress.

[JASON9948]

please make more videos

[iamleyend2]

Agree 1000% with you but democrats are no better and they vote for the tax cuts on the "job creators" too, this is a not end game when you have the lobbyist that buy any politician.

[anoldcrow]

alot of things in that video made sense.

real talk- fuck class war fare, racism, pluralism, and domination of 51% over the 49%. lets just all agree to abide by and promote unbiased laws protecting individual rights and dont give preferential treatment to anyone. i dont know if consumer spending, big companies, or small businesses create jobs but neither does anyone else (bill maher logic, its smart).

New rule: no one group can get tax cuts or free money that the rest of us plebeians cant get.

[amazingmazinger]

In God (and Republicans, and Creationism, and Tea), they trust.

[sonofatiger]

Save America stop voting Repubican. The Rich should pay 38% but they are paying 18% and some pay no taxs at all.

[Antiks72]

@sonofatiger and Dems are useless as tits on a boar. We need instant run off voting, and more political parties.

[anoldcrow]

@sonofatiger wait... 1% of the population are paying 18% of the nations taxes? ... Whats washington doing with the money? paying off our debt to china? did they successfully invest in new forms of energy? did the government create jobs and reduce unemployment?

If not id say you should learn a lesson from the rich, stop paying taxes, start a business, hire people, and anyone that gets in your way, well then you will know who your enemy is.

[tremedar]

@anoldcrow Oh oh! I know! Let's start a business building robotic workers so we can all be multi-millionaires since there won't be any human workers left! What the rich need to remember is without us they have nothing, and at the rate they're going we're going to be having some barbeques to make cannibals jealous.

[anoldcrow]

@tremedar i can top that, lets create unlimited inexhaustible energy, think of all the miners out of work, think of all the anarchy in the middle east, we'll send the world to hell in a hand bag but we, my friend, will be in heaven. the only thing that could possibly make it better is if it was all clean energy.

Question: is this an argument? because now im just being silly. what are you mad about?

[tremedar]

@anoldcrow Not everyone can start a business as you suggested, short of my sarcastic idea of building robots with smart enough AI's to handle the jobs humans currently do becoming reality. We simply need to demand the rich pay what's due. You want to live like a king in the U.S? You're going to pay for it, one way or another, be it money now or blood later.

[anoldcrow]

@tremedar personally, i dont care what u do to the rich in the way of taxes, i dont like regulations that make it hard to get business started. many laws that are to regulate "big" business usually end up back firing on the little guys who are potentially greater job creators than the super wealthy. as for taxes, im skeptical of how gov uses money. wars are a total waste and gov programs dont create near as many jobs as a bunch of companies competing to deliver the same service.

[moestietabarnak]

@anoldcrow and let me guess, laws passed by big corp's bought out politician ?

[anoldcrow]

@moestietabarnak big corps used bought politicians to pass laws that helped reduce competition and perpetuane not only their monopolies but also their to big to fail images.

[markshmily]

Great video! As always!!

Thanks! =D

[yellowgroove]

can i put this on my channel, i will give you full credit and provide the full link back to your main channel ?

[godshiva]

@yellowgroove Why not just feature? That never requires permission and is never questionable ;)

[yellowgroove]

@godshiva how ? never did that before but in the past, i did get permission before posting his video on my channel, don't know about feature...

[godshiva]

@yellowgroove Copy the URL to his video, go to your channel, click the button at the top that says Videos and Playlists and then some options appear. Tell it to play his video instead of your latest video. (I think you have to select Other and then it gives you a box to put something there)

[yellowgroove]

@godshiva thanks, will try this.

[anoldcrow]

"money in consumers pockets"

hmm... should i buy a bunch of widgits or should i pay off my student loans/ invest in stocks/ look for a better home/ get flood insurance etc etc

small businesses not wasting money trying to fulfill government regulations means they can sell widgits cheaper and consumers wont feel like they are wasting as much money, whether consumers have $10 or $15 in their pockets, a $20 widget still seems extravagant but a $9.99 widget (not a cain reference)... lets talk

[moestietabarnak]

@anoldcrow ya those damn regulation, widgets would be so much cheaper if you could sell those gagging lead painted toy for kids.

[anoldcrow]

@moestietabarnak and kids might live longer or go somewhere in life if their damn parents wouldn't count a government to look out for their kids best interests for them all the time.

Anyway, if it was legal to use lead paint on toys, anyone that did that would find themselves out of business and other businesses would start putting "lead-free" stickers on all their products and if some asshole put one of those stickers on a product that DID have lead paint hed find himself in jail for fraud

@anoldcrow I think moestietabarnak wants to wait until his kids choke on those toys first then he will cry for more regulations. Or wait until his own family becomes one those innocent victims then he will worry about the Gun Control.

@MindEFX if he cant guarantee that he could keep poison out of his childs mouth, moestietabarnak should probably use a condom, as for gun control, well if guns were out lawed then only outlaws would have guns. /watch?v=O1nz0rPIU_w

@anoldcrow The facts are the the Countries with the toughest regulations are the ones that are NOT in financial trouble today, two Countries come to mind: Canada and Germany. Both have boatloads of regulations compared to the USA, but neither is in Financial trouble right now. Canada is the Banking leader of the G20 and Germany is the largest and strongest economy in Europe, they were even asked for a handout. You know those things called books, try one!

You couldn't explain more simply OF. But you know, these fucks still are waiting for the golden shower of trickle down economics like the poor uneducated cargo cult islanders after World War 2...waiting for presents from the sky. Excellent vid. I appreciate you commitment and ardour in trying to get through the armoured coating of their heads.

I read "1984" when I was a teenager. I thought the whole thing about doublespeak and the Ministry of Truth was bullshit because people just couldn't be that fucking stupid but Republicans have proved Orwell right and me wrong.  Remember the section about the chocolate ? They decrease the chocolate ration then applaud the increase in chocolate. "1984" has become the handbook for Repub spin. I'm sure Rove, Fox and co have it at their fingertips along with Goebbels' Helpful Hints.

400 people at the top own as much as 155 million Americans combined. You are not going to have a functioning country much longer with that kind of imbalance.

TODAY, we are exactly ONE year away from the Presidential Elections.....and I'm honestly nervous.

If any of the GOP clowns actually wins by some miracle I really don't know what I'm going to do, but I've come up with 3 options:

#1 Move to Canada (Their dollar is stronger, they have universal Health Care, and they're not as stupid as we are)

#2 Stay and enjoy the show (at the very least it will be VERY comical)

#3 Wait for Armageddon on Dec. 21, 2012!

@boxbreaker2011 Please not #1!
