  • You are the biggest idiot in earth! ignorante hijo de puta!

  • I guess you haven´t heard of Guantanamo. And please don´t flatter Chavez, Venezuela is not living in socialism, we´ve only change the richs, but society still the same as always.

  • @danucv1 It is socialized. The rich always benefit from socialism the most. They have the most influence with politicians.

  • "Not violators of human rights...Best country in the world". Go and read a book about what CIA and the US has done and do in South America over the last 150 years. The US´s whole wealth and ability to maintain the lifestyle you have had up until now was built on the fact that you exploited and controlled other people. Now other countries are starting to take back their power, which leaves the US to start living in the real world and not in fairy tale land. You are very pompus and illinformed.

  • FUCK THIS GUY

  • eres una puta caracas es peligrosa porque esta chavez

  • Nose pero este tipo me recuerda a Fred, el mariquito con voz de ardilla...

    this reminds me of Fred, the chipmunk voice ladybug ...

  • Wow man, you sure know how to beat around the bush. By the way, yes, Chavez has indeed destroyed Venezuela in horrible ways, but if you think he is a socialist, you are wrong because the only thing he does is advertise that he is a fanatic of socialism rather than actually practicing it instead, not that it's a great thing either way. I mean, Hugo Chavez has expropriated numerous businesses arbitrarily to "give them to the people" only to abandon them. Caracas is no longer the #1 murder city.

  • @07plokoon Facist lies!!! Our Comander is a true maoist, a marxist leninst and stalinist!!! Also Venezuela is every day safer thank to the benefit of the Bolivarian Revolusion!! Do not stop the information of the facist capatlism Venezuela newspaper and TV, all own by international oligarchs. Live Comander Chavez!! Fatherland Socialism or DEATH!!

  • @hugocaracas2021 Teniendo venezolanos como tu es la razon por la que estamos como estamos ahorita, con inflacion, inseguridad en un peor estado que nunca, y gracias a fanaticos y jalabolas como ustedes, venezuela es ahora uno de los paises mas corruptos del mundo. Si ustedes chavistas quieren hacerle un favor al pais, DEJEN DE ROBAR, dejen de expropiar, dejen de lavarle el cerebro a los menos educados y empiesen a AYUDARLOS, empiesen a salvar vidas. Ustedes no son socialistas, son autoritarios.

  • @07plokoon otro pitiyanqui chillando porque no le llego su cheque de la CIA. deja el esteres con el Comandante vale, deja la guarimba y el magnicidio, deja el golpismo. ahora Venezuela esde todos. Si no te gusta: somos los chavistas pa lante pa lante al que no le guste que aguante o que arranque!!! jajajjajajaja!!! El Comandante MANDA mas na Camarada -y pa raaaato!! Patria socialismo o MUERTE!!! A arrasa con la vurgeCIA!!!

  • @hugocaracas2021 No voy a seguir discutiendo contigo, porque a diferencia de ti, yo si valoro mi tiempo. Hugo Chavez es un ladron y un criminal, quien rompe la constitucion dia tras dia. Es muy probable que su enfermedad sea otra de sus miles de mentiras, porque alguien con cancer no grita para decir barbaridades en sus discursos. Pero si es cierta su enfermedad, su muerte traera felicidad a millones de venezolanos que seran nuevamente liberados de este gobierno tan sucio y corrupto.

  • @07plokoon y que lo vas a magnicidiar o que? van a poner al titere Carmona Estanga como precidente? que verguenza ver que una peqeuña minoria de gente facista oligarca antipatriota que odian a Venezuela y aman a USA. Ya somos libres tenemos nuestra Independencia despues de 200 años gracias a nuestro Comanante!! Pafuera antipatriotas, aca todos somos patriotas bolivarianos y socialistas. No vamos a permitir que el vil del extranjero pise territorio soialista! Con Chavez todo sin Chavez plomo!

  • @hugocaracas2021 Que mente tan enferma y retorcida.Yo naci en venezuela y fui criado en venezuela, por lo que se, puedo ser mas venezolano que TU y vnzla siempre ha sido un pais de DEMOCRACIA, y chavez es solo un fanatico del socialismo, porque nosotros somos todo MENOS ESO. Y porque siempre hay que meter al USA? es un gran pais que por supuesto, como todo gran pais, tiene sus defectos, pero su gobierno no es tan sucio y corrupto como aqui! gracias a BOLIVAR somos independientes! Fuera Chavez!!!

  • @hugocaracas2021 En este pais existe la LIBERTAD DE EXPRECION. Yo soy libre a no apoyar a Hugo Chavez porque esa es MI DECICION. Y eso no me hace antipatriota, oligarca, facista, o que odie a venezuela! En serio, que mente tan enferma y retorcida para poder imaginarse que odie a mi pais por no apoyar a un maldito ladron egoista. Y si hay que elegir a un presidente, sera alguien que geniunamente ame a su pais, que sea un gran trabajador y que sea capaz de manejar un pais, TODO LO QUE CHAVEZ NO ES

  • @07plokoon Ahora si existe libertad de exprecion que no habia en la cuarta republica. ahora SI HAY!!! Uno puede expesarce, Gracias mi Comandante!! Pero lo medios siguen chillando. El que no es Bolivariano, el que no es Revolusionario, no es Patriota, es antipatriota y odia a su pais. O estas con nosotros o estas en nuestra contra. No es momentos para guabineos, es momento de Comrpmiso Revolusionario!!!. Es hor de la Gran Batalla cntra la Oligarquia a aplastar y aniquilar al escualidismo!!.

  • @hugocaracas2021 Eres un imbecil por decir eso. No hay libertad de expresion porque si la hubiese, RCTV, un canal que ha sido parte de nuestro pais por decadas, aun estuviese al aire. Que le dices a los millones de venezolanos que disfrutaban RCTV? el maldito chavez no tiene el derecho de cerrarlos a ellos solo porque no estan de acuerdo con sus opiniones, eso es quitarles la libertad de expresion! Decir que hay libertad de expresion aqui es una mentira descarada, que se vaya el maldito chavez!!

  • @hugocaracas2021 efectivamente, TENEMOS EL DERECHO A PENSAR DIFERENTE A TI, PORQUE ESO ES LIBERTAD DE EXPRESION. Si tu quieres puedes seguirle jalando bolas a chavez todo lo que quieras, pero yo no vivire asi, yo me respeto a mi mismo y por eso apoyo a la libertad y el orden, cosas que no hay en este pais gracias a chavez. Chavez no es patriota, no es ningun revolusionario, es un ladron, mentiroso. El no ama a su patria, el ama a su dinero, su poder, y sus fanaticos que son mentalmente debiles.

  • @hugocaracas2021 en respuesta a tu comentario, en un pais democratico si hay libertad de expresion , pero en Venezuela no! no importa quien sea chavista u oposicion lo que importa es Venezuela y hablas como si estuvieras en guerra y obvio sera en contra de Venezolanos o sea compatriotas hablas de odiar y de ser revolucionario .. la education y salud estan deterioradas como en cualquier pais pobre y el crimen mas alto q nunca asesinatos por nada propaganda a millon mala economia y aruinando todo

  • @hugocaracas2021 propaganda solo crimen se ha implementado en mi patria y de origen oficial que tristeza

    Venezuala nunca fue perfecta pero no como hoy dia q bola de simios corren este pais

    El Presidente Chavez al cual tu seguro llamas tu comandante , tuvo la gran oportunidad y Honor de hacer algo bueno y legitimo para el pais y tambien fueron mis desoes , que hubiera sido el mejor Presidente de mi pais

    Honestamente pudo ser lo mejor desde EL LIBERTADOR hasta hoy, pero no esta en su corazon

  • You have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to Venezuela. I hate Chavez but if your are going to talk about a subject please educate yourself.

  • Juarez , Mexico....Murder capitol of the world

  • I really like your channel.

    

  • The Crusades were a late response to Muslim agitation and slaughtering of Christians. Yes, lets remember the Crusades in light of Muslim violence. :)

  • Of course you believe employers should be able to look at various criterias. you're a fuckin corporate tool.

  • Comment removed

  • You, sir, are a knob.

  • What an idiot.

  • i think you try to research too much at once bro. Focus on fewer things to boost your credibility. You're just naming off a bunch headlines and then saying your opinions, which seem unsubstantiated as it is. You generalize too much, and it's obvious that you lack facts and depth in what you're talking about. Frankly, you just sound like another right-wing, closed minded, ignorant American.

  • Comment removed

  • I thought you would have made youtube partner by now. what a shame.

  • mucho habla de nada!

  • HEY BUDDY.... IF YOU DON`T KNOW , DON`T FUCKING SAY ANYTHING

  • este tiene una carca de pata...

  • is the thing about venezuela true? i didnt think it was..... im going to go there anyway in a couple days!! and the thing about muslims, well they are not pouring acid on little girls faces, and if they are they might not even be muslims.... if u want a comparison to justify what muslims are doing, look at what america is doing to people in afghanistan, iraq, and what it did to serbia, and more and more and more.... america never stops its bombs and violence, so muslims are retaliating....simple

  • @bint1983 how was ur trip to venezuela

  • If i ever see you around Venezuela i will murder you.

  • F.U.C.K. Y.O.U. 

  • How come the headline is about Venezuela, and most of the video is about something else? We agreed that Chavez is the worst president ever in the venezuelan history, but if you are going to give informatiòn away, at leat give it right. Caracas is for sure is a very dangerous city, but we all know that ciudad Juarez is the number one murder city of the world. in fact, most citys in South America need help.

  • @mandingocaribe you are right mate, I'm from Brazil and some cities on here are getting worst every single day. Drugs has been the great responsible for the wave of violence that victimises more than 50 thousand people per year in Brazil. The gov sit down and watch it.

  • Fucking Looser are you crazy? how you know that? are you living here?

  • i am venezuelan too, my country its the hell thanks to hugo chavez, is a big dictator.

  • hugo chavez sucks! hugo chavez is making venezuela the hell

  • @TheAnimexion I Hate him and the fucking chavistas

  • uh ever hear of juarez mexico.

    wow amazing atheist was right about you.

  • I thought Juarez Mexico is the murder capital with about 6,000 people getting killed a year....

  • no que viva chave malditos capitalista gracias

  • CHAVEZ ES UNA MALDITA MIERDA IGNORANTE ABAJO LA RATA COMUNISTA

  • I am Venezuelan, and yes, I was born and I have lived in Caracas for my whole life.

    The murder rate is very high, and you can't even go out to the streets with your bike because of the insecurity.

    Hugo Chavez is a liar and a dictator.

  • Oh man!..you're so insane and don't know anything aabout Venezuela..you're just repeating what some people without information say...you should go to that country and see!..Cheers from a newyorker that loves Venezuela!

  • Way to warp a tweet. Here's it made simple: Don't judge, it's not like we're perfect.

  • Dude you are combining politics with city security. The ones encharged of the security are the police and city council. Not the president, is like I'm blaming Obama for sending that terrible human rights record to the UN. So stop trying to give Hugo Chavez a worst image that he already has and please don't try to insult other people in your videos cuz everything you make is to win more enemies.

    Saludos amigo

  • of course you don't understand Cuomo, there is a difference between condemnation and criticism, if you could understood that maybe you could understand the quote.

  • stop reading off something to your left. lol

  • Poverty and economic equality does not create crime?

    Are you retarded? Please tell me, what else creates crime? Other than the Drug gangs?

  • caracas has been the murder capital of the world since the 90s..

  • Your argument is null and void because that is NOT what this news anchor is arguing. All he is saying is that associating moderate Muslims to extremist terrorist groups would be like associating peaceful Christians with Crusaders.

  • They have been saying that about the USA for along time,

    their fights go back 1000 years ? how about 5000 years ? during your 11 minutes clip some one got shot in Venezuela.

    before criticizing other countries LOOK at the one you live in,

    Chavez is a L. I left Vnzla the same week he became president,

    have you ever been to venezuela or you just watch the news and repeat what they say?

  • fuck chavez!!!

    q se joda ese hijo de puta!!!

  • your accent is absolutely disgusting!! do you guys understand each other when you speak in such a manner???

  • US Dollars wouldn't be as hard to find if the opposition were really being financed by Washington or the CIA. Really, I don't know what goes on in the minds of people who shout political slogans without thinking about what they mean, but it's probably not nice and absolutely not enlightening at all..

  • Facist lies without doubt finance by Washington CIA of ulra right wing Obama. Caracas totally ROCKS!!! Is the best city!!! Only corruct oligarcs try to destabilize and magnicide our society!! Long live our Bolivarian Socialist Revolusion!!! Long RULE our glorios Comander Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias!!! Fatherland Socialism or DEATH!!!

  • PS - Nothing against the US or the American people, I'm a proponent of the free market and liberty. There is always room for improvement though, and you need to check your government before it becomes completely out of the people's control.

  • I agree with many your videos, but you state ~ 8:00, the US is 'better' than other countries due to the absence of human rights violations with respect to the said countries.

    I wonder how you can ignore the human rights violations caused by your military industrial complex? How about the use of depleted uranium in cluster bombs used in Iraq and Afghanistan? Check out the documentaries: "The Doctor, the Depleted Uranium, and the dying children" & "Invisible War - Depleted Uranium"

  • I´m not gonna say Caracas is the best place. But for sure you´re not gonna die so easily in Caracas. I see bad things and good things in my city. You should come, make a video, know the place, and then talk. Not just reading something on the internet

  • @ChurroBlue The big thing is Caracas is not the "Murder capital of the World" the Tillie belongs to Juarez in Mexico. Funny enough most of the murders are by people who purchased the weapons in the USA and smuggled them into Mexico because like all sane nations (unlike the USA) restrictions on gun ownership apply. This fuckwit is simply promoting his videos purely for profit, he uses little if any facts and is just a puppet of his masters "Corporate interest"

  • @ChurroBlue Donde me hijo se puede caminar en Caracas? las veces que voy me cago pero claro el cabron de este video no tiene derecho a decir nada de nuestro Pais.. por mas que sea y que pase lo que pase algún día Venezuela volverá como era antes y podremos echarnos aquellas rumbas en las calles como antes ....

  • I fucking love it when you say that America is better. Tell it like it is!

  • Maldito Gringo 4 ojos!!!! Hijo de la gran puta!! Concentrate en los problemas de tu pais, anda a matar Arabes o a drogarte que eso es lo unico que saben hacer ustedes!!!! Además de firmar videos Porno con prostitutas malditas que viven en su pais!!!! Gringos de mierda ojala que “Osama bin laden” los mate a todos!!!!!!!!!

  • FUCK VENEZUELANS

  • @randudox fuck u mother fucker gringo!!!

  • @randudox how about u fuck your self upside down n then shoot your entire family :)

  • Lee Doren: Crusades occured from the 10th century well into the 17th. The reason you can't condemn Islamic fanatical violence is because the Crusades were the "first blood" of fanatical religious violence and caused the Islamic hatred of western civilization that lasts to this day.

  • The food modernization act is a human rights violation.

  • Conservative rant much?

  • You don't need to go back a thousand years for the crusades, the Christian crusade is going on right now in Iraq

  • Ok I posted my replies, im sure you will just say Im repeating myself or something along that line, I will let you have the "last" say. I cant argue with Capitalist Imperialist Neocons over principles that they are proudly defending. I thought I would present an opinion that challenges the "same ol anti Chavez rhetoric" ..I have, youre sticking to your agenda ...and thats fine. I wish people cared more about the struggle for the poorer classes & stopped feeding the corporatate / military machine

  • @zebra334 Yes, I do care about the lower class, and that includes the people suffering in Venezuela. That's part of the reason we object to Hugo Chávez in the first place, because his policies are just making everything worse. Oh, and all him being a dictator means is that he's above the law, which he is.

    Yes, I prefer a greedy, functional system over a compassionate , dysfunctional system. The intentions of corporations don't measure their effect on society, which is largely positive.

  • Propganda is .... "the spreading of ideas, information, or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause, or a person"...which seems to me is what your doing .... whether you know it or not.

  • @zebra334 So now anyone who spreads an idea is a propagandist? Your definition fits just about anyone, including yourself. If we're going to define it in such a way, then I couldn't care less whether I fit your mark. It has nothing to do with the validity of what I'm saying.

  • @4gl2u look ...What a you are saying (spreading ) is disinformation that is same as the impearlists capitalist mainstream edia here in the US. Your calling him a dictator, and spreading sophistry. Nice chatting with you. Go ahead keep your corporation, crap talk Chavez, and keep the American "anti socialist" message spreading. The neocons and right wing opposition loves this kind of support in Venezuela...you obviously are not catching on and keep repeating the tried and true same ol rhetoric

  • If you need to understand "HowTheWorldWorks" please see "Pam Ayres - They Should Have Asked My Husband.mpg” and if you really wish to know how the real world works live it, experience it, observe it, enjoy it, read books and think your views.

  • Another lie, lol.... Venezuela isnt in the 1st place... do your research, and you "HowTheWorldWorks", you know how to show How The World Works, by your conservative perspective indeed XD

  • @NewBornpt Keep dreaming.

  • @mainestategop I Will... My dream is the future....

  • @NewBornpt He didn't say that Venezuela had the highest murder rates in the world, he said that the Venezuelan city of Caracas had the highest murder rate in the world, hence the title. Your research is irrelevant if what you were looking up the wrong terms.

  • @4gl2u the Iraq / Baghdad body count is misleading information to be using in comparison here is not accurate. The sophistry and connotation is very misleading. The reality is this is just more of the continuing interference and propaganda that is constantly wagered against the social revoulution in Venezuel by capitalist Impearlist US mouthpeices.

  • @zebra334 What propaganda is being perpetrated? Hugo Chávez is a dictatorial socialist whose policies are leading the starvation of his citizens. He destroys businesses and silences political opposition. Unless these are just downright lies, it sounds like we have a good reason to be concerned. Does conflicting interests really negate all credibility?

  • @4gl2u I will settle for "downright lies" - I will say ...He destroys Capitalism if that is what your terminology of 'business' ? He doesn't silence opposition UNLESS your following the right wing capitalist propaganda ...then they shovel this line to the unknowing claiming he is censoring. Its down right bald face lies ...no need to sugar coat it.

  • @zebra334 But you said that the idea of censorship occurring was the right-wing capitalist propaganda itself; how can he only be silencing those who perpetrate it? Is Hugo Chávez a time-traveler? That's like suggesting that he only murders people who report to have been murdered by him already. The man's still a dictator, so whether he's silencing political opposition is just a matter of exertion; that is, he has the power to silence all of his opposition, whether he's doing it or not.

  • @4gl2u first the man is NOTa dictator google the words [ joe anybody Chavez is a dictator ] to see a video i made where I ask some folks in Caracas if Chaves is a dictator.. this answere is a very common answer from folks who live there "No he is not a dictator"

  • @zebra334 Asking people in Caracas doesn't really determine anything. A dictator is a leader who has no limit to his power, and being elected democratically has no bearing on that (you didn't mention this specifically, but I hear it repeated over and over whenever this topic is addressed).

    Again, results matter more than intentions. I wouldn't care if every single corporate leader had no regard for us at all beyond serving as the means to their multi-million dollar salaries. That's what works.

  • @4gl2u he was elected by landslides both times..the people voted ..they voiced their opinions & support him ...I cant stand the US causing troubles and undermining the "good that is happening there" and it alwasy the typical USA impearlist capitalist propaganda just like your parokeeting...Your spining the same lies as I would hear on FOX news. its disturbing and incorrect & it fosters incorect conantations. Also corporations put profits above everyone...problem is they now control Congress too.

  • @zebra334 I've already told you, whether he was elected by his citizens has no bearing on his status as a dictator. And what does imperialism have to do with anything? You just threw that in there to fuel your rhetorical label of me being a "USA imperialist capitalist propagandist." No, I don't believe in imperialism, and no, it's not propaganda to say that Hugo Chávez is a dictator. By the way, Fox News doesn't even broadcast in my country as far as I'm aware.

  • @4gl2u ......regarding The Mainstream opposition media spin....... google the words [ Charlie and the US media ] for a youtube video that discuss the corrupt media and claims of "censorship"

  • Hey man

    Why the rush?

    The world will not end today

    Remember that not all have English as their first language

    Please speak more slowly

    Thank you

    Fernanda

  • Comment removed

  • boy your mixed up about Venezuela... too bad you follow the right wing capitalist position and not more of kinder world that the Bolvarian Revolution is "trying to bring" .. listening to you go off on Chavez is obvious you support the corporate media spin and dis information, and your supporting the (corrupt) opposition.

  • @zebra334 Yep.

  • @zebra334 Capitalism is the only morally correct economic philosophy. I have no idea what could have given you the impression that a socialist revolution fits the word "kind."

  • @4gl2u in a capitalist world ...the poor down and out person IS no concern of the capitalist.The Capitalist has one motive and one motive only PERIOD: "To Make Capital" - ie To Make Money ...PERIOD. (Webster) Socialism is: any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. I would say that the government then helps the citizens in a fair way not based on Profits & Capital !

  • @zebra334 The motivation has nothing to do with: for-profit corporations actually succeed at delivering goods and services to the people, while the collective administration you speak of does not. Socialism refers to the doctrine that the individual should be enslaved by his society because the government not only owns, but has the right to own, all areas of the economy, and that includes both the labour of its people and anything they produce.

  • @4gl2u and you prefer to be owned then by greed and even worse, greedy corporations, big business, big banks, etc... Not me man! ....Socialism is way more better for all the peoples better interests and quality of life ...not just the successful capitalist or the wealthy. You are defending capitalism which seems to me ... by default is self serving and not with the best interests of all.

  • @zebra334 You think that government officials are incapable of being greedy? In this context, greed is really just a term applied to anybody who has a higher income than you do. Corporations exist to deliver goods and services to the common man, and the difference between the costs of delivering them, and the prices that we pay for them, are recorded as profits. If we want to destroy a corporation, we just have to stop purchasing their products. How do you destroy a dictatorial government?

  • @4gl2u where is the dictator i want to destroy ? I see greedy For Profit Corporations raping the earth, destroying the economy, wall street and banks get rich, corporations move off shore, greed and business has only interest in the labor...not the society, not the overall benefits to the community...heck look at NAFTA , CAFTA, the WALL STREET BAIL OUT...none of this helped the average guy (like me and you) ....socialism is focused on the people - capitalism is focused on the bottom line

  • @zebra334 There's a lot of rhetoric here: what does it mean to rape the Earth? If you're concerned about the environment, the government is a much larger hindrance than corporations, who, at least when dealing with their own land, have an incentive to clean up after themselves. A lot of environmental disasters have been committed by governments, because environmental problems have no real negative effect on the bureaucrats that are commissioned with preventing these problems to begin with.

  • @4gl2u wow dude ...where do you live ....? The government and the corporations are about one in the nsame...they are polluting, mining, clear-cutting, mercury in fish, species dying. Corporations like BP .like EXXON ..like Chevron all have destroyed this planet... crap, strip malls, destroyed ecosystems, rivers that are dumped in ...I hear there is a floating "plastic" wad that is miles long in the Pacific. Corps. get laws changed for profits and the earth gets raped bad. Consumerism and profits

  • @zebra334 The reason for the recent economic downturn is government intervention removing risk from the economy, which is a problem because one of the most crucial components of a capitalist system is the ability to fail. Businesses have no obligation to make good decisions if they know that they don't have to pay the price if they make a mistake, which is why people were concerned about these multi-billion dollar government bailouts.

  • @zebra334 Well, in most cases, it has involved armed combat. I'd trust a corporation with my life before I'd trust it with my government. What incentive does a bureaucrat have to make a good decision? They're largely uninvolved and make the same money regardless of what they do. On the other hand, an executive at Loblaws, the largest Canadian food distributor, is motivated to make good business decisions by the fact that if he makes bad decisions, his company will suffer.

  • @4gl2u ...wow ..Im joining the "Progressive Part" (new) and one of the platforms is to get rid of corporate person hood. I would never trust a corporation... period. I would trust a good leader, Venezuela is fortunate to have a good leader...are all are liars crooks or corporate whores. A good socialist government would have a crook running it so I am not worried along that line.. Almost all the big corps here in my neck of the woods have flown the coop -overseas & they took the jobs with them?

  • @zebra334 (ment to say) A good socialist government would "NOT" have a crook running it

  • @zebra334 If a corporation does something we don't like, then the end result is usually that they make less profit. So, if they want to make more money, then they have to make sure that they don't do things that we don't like. This is what people are talking about when they speak of the profit motive, which is something that's completely absent in all areas of government, including these social services funded one hundred percent by our tax dollars.

  • @zebra334 Alright, last one. I'm sorry to flood you with comments, but you mentioned two conflicting ideas here: that capitalism only benefits the wealthy, and that I'm defending it out of self-interest. I'm certainly not wealthy, and throughout most of my life I was living in the lowest income bracket. I defend free enterprise because it's the mechanism that allows corporate interests to work in favour of the poor.

    Somewhat related video: watch?v=AQFyJFFQfTQ

  • @4gl2u ....ya me neither I too am in the lower brackets ..The middle class tend to support the "upper class and back them in policy, takes, etc" due to the common idea that "hey I might get right or more money someday" .the capitalist elite bank on this and know they have middle class (suckers) bamboozled. The middle doesn't stick up for the poor lower (like they should) in hope that they will get there just desert some day. The surprise is most will never ever ever get it. The top 7% get it all

  • @zebra334 The highest earners in America got to where they are by providing goods and services to as many people as possible, meaning their presence in the economy benefits the common man as it's in their business's best interests to lower costs, and with lower costs comes a lower requirement for profit margins, which leads to lower prices, which leads to a lower cost of living for the poor.

    The way you talk about income brackets makes me think you need to go here: watch?v=0S-O6WDalug

  • @4gl2u Boy ....the big corporation took us to the cleaners, the Wallmarts ruined small business exploited cheap labor and screwed all their low paid workers. Big companies have taken jobs out of the country. Capital means Profit (period) there is no obligation to anything with their profit. We have been 'hosed" by corporations, they lobby & buy congress and screw workers / labor over looking all the while for more profit. The whole capitalist economy is in the tank now. Wall street ripped us off

  • @zebra334 At the end of each fiscal year, corporations have to report profits to their shareholders, and if they're not making enough profits then their shareholders will decide that their stocks in that particular corporation have proven to be a bad investment, and will subsequently sell their shares to invest in another company. When profits dwindle significantly, businesses can't afford to sustain themselves, and henceforth they collapse.

  • @4gl2u ...well once they are about of the way we can develop models that will be sustainable, honest (not greedy) and more grounded in serving the community good rather then the corporate (wink) Paymaster. I'm thinking more of a 21st Century Socialism style. I myself don't like the whole system your supporting for it doesn't care about people it cares about the bottom line.

  • @zebra334 No. We need greedy people. You do a lot to make it sound like they're a problem, but they're never going away. Humans are competitive beings by nature, and it is that competitive nature that keeps our economy moving forward. Like I said, it doesn't matter if the system "cares about" the people, all that matters is that it always works in their favour. Intentions are irrelevant if you don't have results.

  • @4gl2u fine ...its your right an privilege to help the greed machine, I find it odd people acknowledge this and still support it, none the less ...Your not hiding it so ...go for it... I myself and trying to stop class-ism and to empower the struggle to have better quality of life for those that are under the boot of corruption and greed. The boot on my back hurts, and I don't accept it. You can ...fine with me... You know the facts and the writings on the wall. You like greedy corporations!?

  • @zebra334 The option we have here is between one system that supposedly doesn't care about you at all, but will work to your benefit, and one system that cares about you, but will work to your detriment. The mistake you're making is in judging each system by the intentions of its advocates. Mainstream corporations could openly admit that they don't care about the common man and have no regard for human life but as a means to profit, and it'd still be better than socialism.

  • @4gl2u ok Im done discussing this...you like profit above human respect. You like corporations in spite of the greed and self serving intrests. You like corporations in spite of them riuning the planet...money money ...money...I get it. You Like it ...you want it..and you defend it ...I get it ...fine ..Capitalism over social values. "work to me detriment" ? (ha) thats not correct ...but say it anyway. Have fun riding out the demise of a failed greedy system as it collasps more as i write this

  • @zebra334 The collapse of business has one obvious effect: the people who worked for the business lose their jobs. This means that the actions of CEOs who do, ah, "whatever it takes to make profit," is the deciding factor of whether or not thousands of people will receive a paycheck at the end of each month.

    Being greedy is a liberal code-word that roughly translates to "having a competitive mindset." If we didn't have competition, there would be no economy. Stop condemning greed!

  • @4gl2u "stop condeming greed"... Ha (never!)... but that was pretty funny :-]

  • @4gl2u plus the middle class is disappearing into the poorer class, the top 7% get all the profits and have driven the middle class into poverty... stick around and watch this greedy capitalism devour its self, Goldman Sacs, Meryl Lynch, wall street bankers all broke (?) they took the cash and bonuses and split. Prices are not going down or becoming affordable..they are going UP and the poor are getting less and less ..its crumbling ...and it needs to ...its a greedy system

  • @zebra334

    The United States is not a laissez-faire capitalism: these is extensive government intervention, which is responsible for many of the problems you identify. I've no serious response to your comment about the middle class "disappearing" isn't the lower class, simply because it doesn't make any sense.

  • @4gl2u the middle class is slipping away .. I see it ... no jobs ...less from the store for your dollar ...no more retirement ...more homeless ...more shopping carts full of people stuff pushing left and right by me.... more price raising...smaller packages... no benefits ,,,,no raises..... no homes..... no more un employment benifits..... and its all over the place .... Factory's closed ... Moved -gone ...to countries w/ cheap exploited labor. The free market and privatization is collapsing

  • @zebra334 You're just speaking in tongues to repeat the same old nonsense you started with. I really don't feel like repeating myself for the next three series of comments simply because you're not catching on.

  • @4gl2u don't waste your time, Ive heard it over n over anyway. Just thought I would address the source when i seen your right-wing Imperialist video topic. You may think your innocently "expressing yourself' but your lines of communication are fitting in nicely to the corrupt opposition positions word for word. Youre repeating the false information that is parroted over n over in the US mainstream press. Regardless if you acknowledge it or not, your fueling the opposition and helping Imperialism

  • @USAGymnast 95% of climitologists acccept global warming. If you have evidence that says otherwise, show me. Otherwise, go fall back into your nice little right-wing ditch that you've carved out for yourself over the years.

  • Comment removed

  • @CambridgeHeights The percentage of climatologists who accept it is completely irrelevant. I'd further question the concept itself, but I'm guessing you aren't a climatologist. Surely you can recall a point in history where the majority of people, even as overwhelming a majority as ninety five percent, accepted something that wasn't true. The changing climate is a fact, but there are still thousands of scientists who question whether humans are causing it.

  • @4gl2u Has the overwhelming majority of experts been wrong before? Of course. But what evidence do you have that the overwhelming majority is wrong in this case? Just because the overwhelming majority of experts has been wrong in the past does not mean that they are always wrong. In fact, they are almost always right.

    If you have some information that these scientists don't have, then you may be justified in thinking they are wrong. Otherwise, you just sound like a naive know-it-all fool.

  • @CambridgeHeights

    It was never stated that because the majority has been wrong in the past, that they're always wrong. What I was saying is that because the majority has been wrong in the past, that means that they're not always right.

    There are scientists just as qualified in those in the majority who are still skeptical of climate change being caused by humans. You're trying to excuse their work as false simply because they're in a minority.

  • @CambridgeHeights

    That should have read: "There are scientists just as qualified as those in the majority ..."

    I'll also add that I don't know if man-made climate change is true or false, and that I instead regard it as an idea not yet verified. There are mixed opinions among scientists, so naturally I'm reluctant to allow these left-wing ideologues to reshape our entire economy with tonnes of new regulation, cap&trade, etc., when we're not even sure that doing so will prevent anything.

  • @4gl2u There are qualified scientists who are skeptical of anthropomorphic climate change, but they are a small minority of scientists. I am not a climatologist who studies climate change 40-60 hours a week for years and years. The logical choice for me would be to side with the majority, unless I believe there's some giant global conspiracy, which is beyond absurd.

    As for policy decisions, I think we should play it safe and assume that maybe the 95% of climate experts are right on this one.

  • @CambridgeHeights That's not playing it safe. You again resorted to presuming that all skepticism is incorrect simply because it's in the minority. Man-made climate change is merely what the majority of climatologists infer when analyzing their data. It's not an established fact, it doesn't provide conclusive proof, and these experts discourage skepticism because it stifles their leftist ultimatum.

  • "There's been warming, no question. I've never debated that; never disputed that. The dispute is, what is the cause. And of course the argument that human CO2 being added to the atmosphere is the cause just simply doesn't hold up."

    Timothy F. Ball

    "Biggest scientific hoax being perpetrated on humanity. There is no global warming due to human anthropogenic activities. The atmosphere hasn’t changed much in 280 million years, and there have always been cycles of warming and cooling."

    Tad S. Murty

  • "The two main 'scientific' claims of the IPCC are the claim that 'the globe is warming' and 'Increases in carbon dioxide emissions are responsible'. Evidence for both of these claims is fatally flawed."

    Vincent R. Gray

    "There is evidence of global warming. ... But warming does not confirm that carbon dioxide is causing it. Climate is always warming or cooling. There are natural variability theories of warming."

    Chris de Freitas

  • "This small warming is likely a result of the natural alterations in global ocean currents which are driven by ocean salinity variations. Ocean circulation variations are as yet little understood. Human kind has little or nothing to do with the recent temperature changes. We are not that influential."

    "I am of the opinion that [global warming] is one of the greatest hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people."

    William M. Gray

    These people are all silenced just for being in the minority.

  • @CambridgeHeights I hear ya. Climate change IS HAPPENING and WE ARE part of the reason for it. It's amazing that there are still people who are so in the dark about it.

  • Watching your videos and hearing about current events depresses me, but they are important and informative. How you relay the news without screaming at the top of your lungs is beyond me.

  • @USAGymnast

    It's pretty obvious that the capitalists started it. Why do you think the U.S. came up with Domino theory as an excuse for intervening in Vietnam or supporting Coups in Latin America?

  • @USAGymnast

    No shit, they started out in a rut, and they actually were doing a decent job of pulling themselves out For awhile See:My posts about GDP growth in the USSR.

  • @USAGymnast

    Why do they deserve to horde whatever they feel like when millions starve?

  • BigWorm242:

    Because they purchased it, therefore they're entitled to it. Now let me ask you a similar question: what right does a starving person have to steal from me just because I can afford to feed myself? If I have a home, does that entitle indigents to invade & declare it as their own simply because I've something that they don't?

    In short, people deserve to horde whatever they feel like because you haven't the right to tell them not to. Now stop trying to rob us of our liberty.

    Property is theft.
