FUCK YOU CORBETT! I'm a PITT student and my tuition went up $1000 thanks to your budget cuts. That's a great way to help a floundering economy by crippling the next generation before we're even out of the gate. Choke on a dick!
What a bunch of BULLSHIT this video is. More left wing liberal slander. I PAY TOO MUCH IN TAXES AS IT IS AND YOU WANNA CRY BECAUSE OUR GOV. DOESN'T WANT TO RAISE TAXES?? People taxes are too high as it is. Do you realize Texas has the fastest growing economy because THEY HAVE NO STATE TAX...NONE!!!...but you damn liberals feel if someone busts their ass to build a business then they should be rewarded by having their money taken away and given to sally screws alot with her 12 kids....WTF???
Can anyone explain to me the benefits of corporate tax cuts? Im honestly curious, because there has to be some kind of reason why Republicans are continuously supporting such tax cuts while they are knowingly drawing hate from the working class majority. They are literally risking re-election just to save big businesses money. Anyone know why?
@MyDormantSoul big businesses finance their re-election. As much as the left calls the right stupid, and the right calls the left stupid Most voters on either side are pretty close to retarded, and a few TV ads on prime time can sway an election pretty easily. How could you trust an independant candidate when a repub or dem tells you lies you want to believe in everyday on tv and in the radio?
@GhostInTheShell29 But hasnt that tactic been a failure in recent years? Everyone now knows how sketchy alot of fox news is, and they have promptly been vilified and discredited. And especially now with the issues over collective bargaining, the Republicans are drawing a ton of hate from the working class majority. These Republicans seem to genuinely believe that corporate tax cuts and cutting collective bargaining are good for the economy. I just want to hear their side and why they think that
@MyDormantSoul Its 2011 the next big election isn't until 2012.... Call me very pessimistic but do you think most voters even know the names of who their voting for let along their positions on issues? Plus once you account for bias...
Nearly every tea partier i've ever argued with truly believes their people will reduce the deficits, help business and the economy grow and make America better.
Its a believe, believes don't have to be true. Most voters are suckers.
@GhostInTheShell29 I will call you very pessimistic. I think the internet has gone leaps and bounds in creating political interest. I think the fact that America now has its first black president has created alot more voter interest. I also think that the fallout from the Bush era did a huge amount for political interest in the public. Don't quote me on this but I think I remember hearing my political science prof saying 2008 had record breaking voter turnout.
@GhostInTheShell29 I think if there are people willing to go out time after time to engage in public protest and become hated by the media, they must be pretty dedicated and interested in the policies they are supporting. Im still not very sure why they are defending those policies, but I don't think Republicans and Tea Partiers are just ignorant, corrupt, or rich rednecks. As for the ignorant voter, I wonder what percentage of voters is as easily manipulated as you say. Im just really curious.
@MyDormantSoul well I can tell you from experience, most Democratic voters get their political viewpoints from John Stewart on Comedy Central...how's that for ignorant?
Ⓐ Additionally, I'm sick of hearing about the so called "middle class." This is a political and economic fiction. The so called "middle class" in America would be called the "WORKING CLASS" EVERYWHERE ELSE.
This IS a concerted attack on everybody who makes less than $200K per year. The corporations have UNLIMITED cash they can give to politicians - and they can hide it in ways which will make it tax-deductible. The working man doesn't have unlimited cash nor can he deduct political donations.
The bailed out banks and the corps which pay no taxes into our system of government are buying the politicians out from under us.
Insist on Public Campaign Finance - save America from the rich.
@jag10 Schools in neighborhoods with high property values generally have students who test as high as european children. Since they recieve far more funding then your inner city, and rural schools. As well as the students who do live in poverty often need more help to become as well educated but per capita recieve far less funding, then students who come from well to do neighborhoods. The real failure of public education is how we fund it.
@GhostInTheShell29 , Sorry to burst your bubble, but the truth is contrary. I live in large county - 35% white population. Two cities in the county have a black population of less that 10%. I live in a "white" city.
The urban schools receive equal spending per child, plus additional federal grants. Of the last 10 schools built, 8 have been in underachieving urban districts. The teachers are paid equally, but new teachers are given financial incentive in urban districts. cont-
In my "white" city, the elementary system is pretty, but our schools are overcrowded (trailers) and falling apart. In the urban areas, the schools are new (newer) and have empty classes - and they just got emptier. NCLB has bussed those students to our overcrowded schools for the last few years, and in order to cut costs,they just closed down 8 urban schools, expanded our classrooms to 25 (from 18) and are bussing them (at a considerable cost) to our trailer parks. cont -
Our test scores dropped to "failing" status since NCLB policies - which is why we didn't qualify for funding and school renovations. The "failing" status was a good thing - as we longer had to bus urban Democrats to our trailer parks anymore, so we removed the trailers. Hurray!
But, that only lasted a couple months - until redistricting (integration) and urban school closings expanded our classrooms by 30%. So our shitty schools are back and the Board just contracted to bring the trailers back.
And you wonder why you have the largest population of incarcerated individuals in the world? You want to cut teachers salaries again? Who is going to teach/train your children? A bunch of cut rate, low wage negotiated, loser teachers who's self esteem is so low they still work for the bullshit wages you pay? And you wonder why the youth of America is so disrespectful, lazy, misguided, & on their own train wreck to prison. Pay the educators a solid wage & you will have a solid return. Duh!
I don't believe in any form of welfare - especially corporate welfare. The only way to make that a reality is for the govt to sell off all land - with the exception of the land where the govt buildings are. Govt owns land they end up giving sweatheart deals to cattle grazers, oil drillers, gold mining, etc. Open auctions. Sell it to the highest bidder. Once you've completely ended corp welfare, then you can look past the nonsense of taxing small and large businesses (the consumer ends up paying)
I make about 78,000 per year. It fluctuates pending on how good the year is. I pay just over 45% in taxes. Would it be fair for corporations and the rich to pay the same as me?
@bweazel Chase, BofA, Mobil, Exxon and Monsanto paid no taxes. Take a peek, they are public companies and its on their web sites. From your point of view I guess thats the same.
@pchtermino1 It's because you don't understand how taxes work, man. Corporations are taxed on profit, not income. So they clear their profit each year in whatever what they choose to, stock options, bonuses, deferred tax liabilitiy, etc. The employees pay their taxes through income taxes, and like I said, they pay WAY more than you and I. It's a scam of a system, yes. But it's funny to see you sitting here bitching about rich people instead of the IRS and the tax code.
these govnrs are doing what the majority of voters want, libs like gildoe are going to whine ALL THE TIME, so just ignore them and keep up the good work. we'll get to more repairs one at a time. to bad libs aren't repaired first
notice our politicians don't take the same pay cuts and pension cuts they are demanding the avg american take? why not? because they think they are better than we are and they are entitled where as those of us that pay thier salary thru taxes are not...
This is a clear sign that this country NEEDS Sarah Palin to be our next President! She will completely cut spending on EVERYTHING in the federal budget and have it balanced on her 1st year. She will create greater surpluses than Bubba during the remainder of her 2 terms as our GREATEST POTUS! Palinomics will create unheard of wealth never before seen in this country! Everybody will be prosperous in the Palination! Palin stands for EVERYBODY in this country!
Nation of morons! What happened during WWII was a loooong time ago. We got teabagger-sickness now. It's all about "F*CK my neighbor....I got mine." They wouldn't think of asking the millionaire, multi-millionaire, billionaire, corporate-CEO to join in the sacrifice....."hell...they're the 'job-creaters'". Yeah...right. So where are all those jobs the repukkkes were promising? What a joke.
We are getting what we deserve. So ignorant we vote against our best interests....morons!
@HulksHeroes Oh? How many jobs have you created? Hmmm? Invested any of your money lately to help a corporation do so? Send yourself to school? Anything? Noooo, of course not, why would you want to help those evil, evil corporations? What was that about Fuck my neighbor? Regardless if you like to admit it or not, corporations are your neighbors. You are a stakeholder (not a stockholder) in every corporation in your town.
You all will be the end of this country, not the tea party.
@bweazel LOLOLOL - Sorry, you confuse America with China. That's the place the corporations are these days. It's ok, because the Chinese are going to screw every American company in China as soon as China has stolen as much technology as they can from the American corporations. Tell me BW, what was the last book you read on America's trade policy ???? Don't give me Beck talking points, I want to know how you come by your propaganda bullshit.
@rickbar123 The last book I read on American trade policy? Haven't read one on American trade policy. Which one did you read? Beck talking points? Quote me a couple, please. I don't own a TV, I never watch Fox.
@bweazel Then you should read one. It's a long list, start with "China, Inc" by Fishman. I have about 30 more for you after that. Then I can give you a few on the German economic system. Then a few dozen on labor. You may be the first tea bagger to look past Dick and Jane. My fav right now is the history of corporate propaganda in America post WW2. Only 2 books so far but I have picked a third on the topic before I get to Lippman and Bernays.
Good. Fuck public unions. Hey, Gil. You're right. There is a case to be made. They have not shared in the pain. And it's about time they do. There is no reason public employees should be able to unionize against the people.
Tell me, why should those that are willing to take risk be forced to sacrfice? Get real, Gil. You're way off on this one. You liberals are so backwards it's not even funny.
Because "those that are willing to take risk" are included in the definition of "everyone". One of his main points that Corbett's "everyone" isn't actually "everyone"... it's mainly the poor, the public worker, the middle class, the DEMOCRAT.
@CharBroiled04 That's why I'm calling these public unions hypocrites. They are part of the middle class, some of them upper middle class. And they're behaving the exact same way as those who they claim to be against. It's ridiculous. The unions have lost their way, and they've lost their integrity. Even the private ones are having to take government hand outs, little back scratching for getting them elected. It's pathetic.
Btw, unions make up a very small portion of the middle class.
My point is that every time there's a budget discussion the unions and other public employees have to tighten their belts. Education is cut. Services are cut. I remember having paper drives at school where we were asked to bring our own paper from home to right on and print on, because of budget cuts. And yet somehow we're still debating whether or someone who makes over $250k a year is "rich" and whether or not they should be taxed more? Gimme a break.
What a slap in the face to the tea baggers. Wall Sreet walks, the banksters walk, the corporations get a pass, bullshit trade policys will continue but the average working guy and the poor will take a hit. To bad the tea baggers are too stupid to realize it.
@rickbar123 Ummmm, is this really any different than what has always happened? If the middle class are going to act like a bunch of cowards, and not stand up to this fraud, we deserve what we get. Shit I'm not even middle class, I'm broke as hell, but I still think we deserve it, if we're not willing to fight back that is. Stop paying taxes ;)
@bweazel The middle class did stand up, they voted for Obama. Who could they have voted for ??? The other guy ??? Obama has sold the middle class out, like Clinton did. So the middle class stayed home.
@rickbar123 Yes, everyone knows union members voted for Obama. We also know that the unions lobbied in favor of the healthcare reform. So unions and their members are fine with taking other peoples money, but scream like hell when it comes around to their turn to pay up for the services they pushed for. It's sickening.
These "tea baggers" want smaller government, they want to be left alone, and they want to keep what they earn. Tell me, what is so wrong with that to you guys?
@bweazel Unions members are a small part of the voting public. It took alot more than the union vote to put Obama in. You have no idea what that "smaller Goverment crap means." It is nothing but propaganda from the business class. The same business class that has screwed the worker in America for years. The tea baggers are low info voters. Worthless as the come.
@bweazel Yes I do, it was nothing compared to what Goldman Sachs and the rest of the business class gave him. Better go get your boss troll. I don't play well with propaganda trolls.
@rickbar123 We're playing? Sorry, I thought we were having a convo. Haha, you can always tell when people have nothing else to say when they start calling people trolls. Argue your point you coward, or shut up.
I can't even pick out an opinion in anything you've written so far, all I see are ad hominens and red herrings, and I'm the troll? Get real, bro. Grow up, have a convo, or don't. It's that simple.
I asked you how much you donated to Obama. And how? Individually or thru your dues?
@bweazel You are a paid troll. What books have you read on trade policy ??? You know nothing about Unions, Trade, Boulwareism, WTO, NAFTA or any other problem this country has. You are tea bagger paid scum.
@rickbar123 You still going on about trolls? Haha. I asked you a question. How much did you pay Obama? And how did you do it? Individually or through your dues?
I don't know anything about trade? What makes you think that? But please, still answer the first question. Because it's really starting to look like you're a hypocritical unionist.
@bweazel I'm pretty good at trolling as well. I'd like to get on the same payroll you are on. Could you please send me some contacts so I can get paid as well?
@pchtermino1 Ahhh, I see, you have nothing to say to the merit of the argument, so you call a person a troll. Good on ya. Do you have anything intelligent to say?
@rickbar123 Sadly, I don't think they are too stupid to realize it. I think they know which side their bread is buttered on...and it's not the side of middle class teachers. :P
Kill education, keep the war machine pumping. Thats the American way. We dont need smart soilders, we just need MORE soilders. As long as people have no educations, they will settle for lower paying jobs....thus making the military look more appealing. When, I ask..WHEN will we stop this cycle of horror and faux military recruitment.

Shit I'm not even middle class, I'm broke as hell, but I still think we deserve it, if we're not willing to fight back that is. Stop paying taxes ;)

@bweazel The middle class did stand up, they voted for Obama. Who could they have voted for ??? The other guy ??? Obama has sold the middle class out, like Clinton did. So the middle class stayed home.

@rickbar123 Yes, everyone knows union members voted for Obama. We also know that the unions lobbied in favor of the healthcare reform. So unions and their members are fine with taking other peoples money, but scream like hell when it comes around to their turn to pay up for the services they pushed for. It's sickening.
These "tea baggers" want smaller government, they want to be left alone, and they want to keep what they earn. Tell me, what is so wrong with that to you guys?

@bweazel Unions members are a small part of the voting public. It took alot more than the union vote to put Obama in. You have no idea what that "smaller Goverment crap means." It is nothing but propaganda from the business class. The same business class that has screwed the worker in America for years. The tea baggers are low info voters. Worthless as the come.

@rickbar123 Do you realize how much money the unions gave Obama? How much money did you give Obama? Hmmm?

@bweazel Yes I do, it was nothing compared to what Goldman Sachs and the rest of the business class gave him. Better go get your boss troll. I don't play well with propaganda trolls.

@rickbar123 We're playing? Sorry, I thought we were having a convo. Haha, you can always tell when people have nothing else to say when they start calling people trolls. Argue your point you coward, or shut up.
I can't even pick out an opinion in anything you've written so far, all I see are ad hominens and red herrings, and I'm the troll? Get real, bro. Grow up, have a convo, or don't. It's that simple.
I asked you how much you donated to Obama. And how? Individually or thru your dues?

@bweazel You are a paid troll. What books have you read on trade policy ??? You know nothing about Unions, Trade, Boulwareism, WTO, NAFTA or any other problem this country has. You are tea bagger paid scum.

@rickbar123 You still going on about trolls? Haha. I asked you a question. How much did you pay Obama? And how did you do it? Individually or through your dues?
I don't know anything about trade? What makes you think that? But please, still answer the first question. Because it's really starting to look like you're a hypocritical unionist.

@bweazel I am not in a union. I am no fan of Obama. You are a paid troll, get lost, you waste my time. I asked you to get your boss.

@bweazel Read a book first, then run your flap. Maybe the next beating you get from me will last a bit longer.

@bweazel I'm pretty good at trolling as well. I'd like to get on the same payroll you are on. Could you please send me some contacts so I can get paid as well?

@pchtermino1 Ahhh, I see, you have nothing to say to the merit of the argument, so you call a person a troll. Good on ya. Do you have anything intelligent to say?

@rickbar123 Sadly, I don't think they are too stupid to realize it. I think they know which side their bread is buttered on...and it's not the side of middle class teachers. :P

Another great video Gil....Keep up the good work.
Kill education, keep the war machine pumping. Thats the American way. We dont need smart soilders, we just need MORE soilders. As long as people have no educations, they will settle for lower paying jobs....thus making the military look more appealing. When, I ask..WHEN will we stop this cycle of horror and faux military recruitment.
