Money to the government is money for the people of America. We pay 50% in in basetax in Denmark. Then there is the midtax 6% and toptax 15%, these extra taxes are added to the basetax, if you make more than certain amount of money a year.
This way, people still make more than one another, but poverty is virtually non existant. Money circulation in the society can be regulated to protect the people.
Exessive taxation, like in USSR is not even remotely comparable to that, to say so is ludacris.
@WoodyMathias The difference being that in America, we are not provided any services funded by taxes (ie. healthcare, education, etc...) as they are in many other countries. All these thing are in addition to the income taxes. As a single white male with no children, making more than 50K annually, it could be possible to actually pay to the government up to 70% of income. My plan is to move out of America before it collapses completely. I agree with you on the comparison to USSR though.
Medicare, medicaid, food labels, SEC and financial regulations are socialist.
Obama's policies are not socialist at all, he decreased medicare benefits to the elderly and social security. Like anyone who's not rich should care about rich people's taxes.
He's not raising taxes on the rich at all. The rich used to pay 70 percent during the 50s and 60s and guess what, that was a golden age.
Obama is not socialist, he's a plutocrat. Stop listening to all this propaganda about Socialism. Food labels are a socialist law, the FDA is a socialist program, the SEC is a socialist program, Medicare, medicaid, and social security are all socialist programs.
Even a Russian Socialist knew what was coming and wrote in 1860. His name, Alexander Herzen, "Could you please explain to me why belief in God is ridiculous and belief in humanity is not; why belief in the kingdom of heaven is silly, but belief in all utopias on earth is clever? Having discarded positive religion, we have retained all the habits of religion, and having lost paradise in heaven we believe in the coming paradise on earth, and boast about it." From "Consolatio" From the other Shore"
eliminate social security tax, property tax, fica and medicare tax which is all used to fill the gov't's. pockets and put it back in the pockets of the people from whence it came.
Superb, lucid, cogent and deeply disturbing arguments. I only hope that a sufficient number of people hear and understand them! Perhaps the result of the Brown-Coakley election in MA is an indication that people are finally beginning to wake up and that they now intend to actually *do something* to avoid the fate you so eloquently describe.
His closing on this outdoes the rest of his propaganda in its disingenuous (lying) nature. Obama has made no effort whatsoever to replace the current American economic system with one that is "identical in all respects" with the old Soviet Union. This rhetorical technique is known as the Straw Man. Only an idiot or an ideologue would fail to recognize this.
The sad fact is, PresBO is giving the Wall Street Wankers a free pass, in spite of them coming a hairsbreadth from ruining the economy.
Buddy - do some research instead of putting your faith in Obama sound-bites. Obama's and the radical left's agenda is to run the country through government mandate. This will destroy our country. It is coming faster than you can imagine. You will soon be a government serf if you don't wake up.
Yeah I know. I thought this guy was over the top with the first video but when he resorted to cheap red-baiting I just shook my head in disgust. Just when you thought the cold war was over... I mean are there really substantial numbers of people out there who are really dumb enough to buy this crap? That the President of the most powerful capitalist nation in the world is now going to dismantle the system that put him at it's helm? Give me a break! Obama is a CENTRIST not a "Socialist".
@COLDB33R And what are you doing? You expose one of his tactics of persuasion and use it to prove that Obama is actually not trying to do that. You give no actual logical argument against it. This technique is called the leftwinger.
He does not give a free pass to wall street. You need to put your leftwing bias aside and listen to what he says. As this video explains, Obama's policies are far more detrimental (damaging).
This guy's arguments are completely divorced from reality. "In theory theory and practice are the same thing. In practice they are very different."
- there is a HUGE difference between healthy regulated capitalism and the form of crony capitalism the Vlogger argues for that exists currently in the USA, where Big Business pretty much owns the government as a proprietary asset.
You really don't have a clue do you? Capitalism works just fine until a criminal mentality takes over the government. The criminal element inside the US government has grown over the decades. Now the real pain is coming down on the citizens that have in almost a childish manner trusted these same criminals. Read about the lives of others that have lived under communism or fascism and see how it compares to capitalism. It is about them controlling you, not giving you a better life. Grow Up
Yes in old CCCP everyone was paid the same " Lousy " Your doctors wont like socialized national health care LOL Here all the doctors are merely middle class citizens on a flat wage. Your doctors are used to making millions and that will end fast with socialized health care. How does the saying go , the partys over LMAO
Socialism is a brain drain. The brightest lose financial incentive to live in the country. Socialism doesn't consider human nature, hence, its ultimate economic failure.
Study the reason people are losing their homes. The government pushed lenders to loan to people who could not afford them in the first place. Did these people have a choice? Of course they did. Anyone can choose to go in over their head, and they should be responsible for the results. 20% down would have been a powerful buffer to foreclosure. With 0% down, people just walked away when prices fell, they lost nothing that belonged to them, they had nothing invested.
"for he envisions a country in which government controls our society"
Man it's a good thing we have a government "for, of and by the people" and that the people in government make decisions based on the interests by the people....
Seriously I get you use Ayn Rand as a model for the ideal society but it doesn't work so stop trying to make loose comparisons to socialism and conspiracy driven theories.
She's a pretty terrible writer whose entire philosophy on life is based on a false dichotomy.
Also this video basiclly made the assumption that "cap and trade = complete government economic control/planned economy of that sector" which is pretty ridiculous.
It is amazing how things morph. For example, who would have believed that a government agency would deem the act of breathing as subject to regulation! Another example: the Social Security Act of 1935 set the tax rate at 2%. The current rate with medicare: 15.4%. In 1935 the wage cap was $3,000 ($47,070 in 2009 dollars). Income earned above this amount was not subject to Social Security taxes. The cap is now $106,800 and indexed to create an ever increasing tax. Medicare is uncapped.
Even after accounting for inflation, the social security tax has increased (morphed) over 1700% ($106,800/47,070 x 15.4%/2%=17.471). And that is without accounting for the uncapped portion of the medicare tax. So, if you think cap and trade is not a blatent attempt to empower government to eventually control all private sector output youre naive
Maybe the population got bigger since the 30s and requires more taxes to sustain Social Security?
The argument boils down to whether you believe global warming is a problem (hint: unless NASA is lying it is) and how much the government should do to curtail it.
Hell I wouldn't mind a straight carbon tax for the tons of carbon produced.
my brother has his doctrine in environmental science. and works for the carnage institute for land, water, and air resources, and he says global warming is not caused by us. in fact, the sun is heating up slightly, thus, every planet in the solar system is heating up. yet by saying it is us who are causing it, the govt can tax us more. this is what he believes. myself as well.
there have been temperature variations for the history of the world, CO2 emissions are bad but there is no way to compare temps for the last few years and make a solid case for anything. Open your eyes and learn for your self. THINK FOR YOUR SELF
fascism: a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism, regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism.
Obama's grandparents had to leave Washington to escape investigation because they were communists. His father was a radical communist. His mother was a communist. So why are people so shocked that his wants communism in this country. Lord people are just plain stupid.
the trouble is no one is watching stuff like this as they would rather drink kool-aide and watch American Idol,it is nearly too late already,wake up America and throw these bums out
Dude! You are absolutely correct. Face Obama is a marxist and congress is controled by a group of closet marxists. We are the new Soviet Union with a kinder gentler face on it. Communism always is bad for the citizenship. But we get the government we deserve based on our willness to be involed. Americans only get upset when there is no beer in the frig.
Good job! Awesome video! You really articulated Obama's communist agenda! Thank you!
