Help the Koch brothers bust the unions in Wisconsin

[vdarte]

After Tuesday’s vote in Ohio, Walker is now pissing in fear and terror. A recall vote is most likely, one which he will lose. Throw the goofball out!

[lusciousthecat]

@vdarte I am from Missouri (the show me state). talk is cheap.

[sonbarably]

corporate scum's dreams are coming true

slavery is a reality

Michigans public unions - the last bastion of the American middle and working class - will all be replaced by prisoners

here's a way to a future

kill a Koch brother or their governor

and you can have a job, food and shelter

[lusciousthecat]

It seems as though you don't believe the government should help anyone but think private organizations are doing the job. well take a walk in the real world. the middle class has drastically shrank, the number of poor rise daily while 400 people control nearly 50% of the wealth. the job is not being done by these "private organizations" they do not have the resources. meanwhile excessive greed rules. this is your world, the real one we all live in. I am not proud of it, and not of us either.

[superimposedtab]

I can only aspire to have money piled up in a vault. Wealthy companies and individuals don't either. It is vested elsewhere in the economy. As for worrying about those around who seem less fortunate, it should not be the government's job to take from one person to give to another. There are private organizations that do that, and much more efficient than welfare could hope. In case you are unaware, many charities are funded by these "evil rich" you so despise.

[lusciousthecat]

@superimposedtab the facts are that in the 1950s the wealthy paid over 90% of their income in taxes. the wealthy still amassed wealth, but we had a strong vibrant middle class and opportunity for a vast majority to get a good job or an education. we also could afford to fix and replace infracstructure (like roads) Now they pay 35% and they sent the jobs overseas to exploit the poor workers there because they did not have laws to protect the workers. now our infracstructure is falling apart.

[superimposedtab]

That's right those evil rich don't deserve money they earned. Forty percent in taxes is way to low for the evil rich. Fuck the unions and fuck the neutered idiot in the cat suit. If you think that people should start a business just to support an employee, go to Cuba.

[lusciousthecat]

@superimposedtab yup keeping all the money you earn is all that matters. just pile it all up in a vault. no need to concern yourself with the living conditions of your neighbors. shoot why we can just ignore what has always happened back in history when such imbalances were created.... as for you in particular sir, i don't need to say a word about you. your own words quite adequately show the world what kind of person you are.

[lusciousthecat]

@superimposedtab If you wish to continue to support the status quo even after confronting the facts, by all means you do so. I however cannot look at what we have become and say that how we live is healthy. to me, it is a choice between two different value systems. i have to ask what is more important, and the answer compells me to be appalled by the value system you seem to support. according to the bible we should only keep what we need and give the rest away. that is my value system.

[noflizone]

hmmm

i'm a retired cop. collective bargaining got us our bullet-proof vests. ----

[lusciousthecat]

@noflizone If you go back to 1905 and look at what mess collective bargaining got us out of over the next few decades it was a Godsend. Sadly it looks like the top dogs want to break us down back to 1905 now.

[TAz69x]

@noflizone Thanks for spreading the truth. This Corporate destruction of the US is horrifying. It's sad when the fictional tales that used to be a fun fantasy view of Corporations becoming new governments and whatnot, even in good games like Deus Ex and Gunmetal, starts bearing points that are -REAL-!...

o.O

[barbarash]

Another epic video..... spread the word about this creepy wonderful cat!

[lusciousthecat]

@barbarash Thank you. I shall do my best.

[lusciousthecat]

@pipersmitty87 Thanks for what you did. This is an important issue and I think people need to be presented with the observations of this video.

[ElunedDdedwydd]

Very well said, and OH, SO TRUE! I'm subscribing to your channel too. Thank you!

[lusciousthecat]

@ElunedDdedwydd Danke. 

[MegaLink117]

i hear what your saying, and i agree with you, but you probably could have said it in a way that makes you look less crazy...........and creepy -,-

[lusciousthecat]

@MegaLink117 If you ever encounter an earthworm that sings opera, be sure to tell it the exact same thing you just told me. God Bless America where appearance is all that really matters. No hard feelings on my side, probably won't be on the worms side either. Such is life.

[MegaLink117]

@lusciousthecat if i ever find an opera singing worm, i honestly dont know wether or not i would smash it out of fright or put it in a box, name it joe and call him my new best friend. eather way my life would change

[lusciousthecat]

@MegaLink117 All i ask is that if what I say resonated with truth then spread the truth. Change the world and validate your life.

[RichoRosai]

Holy shit, insta-subscribe. Great stuff, do keep making!

[lusciousthecat]

@RichoRosai If I can keep breathing and the power on and the roof overhead, oh yea, cable access, i forgot food should have been up front, but yes i will try to do so and thank you.

[gonadcancervictim]

privatize education, or allow it to compete equally for gov $ at which point public education will have to get better or lose customers

that way our kids can invent robots to heal luke skywalkers arm, change my diapers and fix our most of our problems

lower minimum wage too so that kids can get on the job contacts and experience in case his k-12 has failed him/her as right now its illegal to hire someone whose skills arent worth minimum wage so they never get specialized skills

[lusciousthecat]

@gonadcancervictim You know I was with you on the let governent schools compete with private, as long as anyone who cannot afford private schools have the Feds fund it, but lowering minimum wage when people can't survive on it now? Your "arent worth minimum wage" sorta screamed zero compassion to me. I want people to carry their load when they can. Find compassion for those who cannot and get back with me.

[MrTabby5000]

the wealthy creates tons of jobs for the people,the wealthy shouldn't pay any taxes,tax paying is for the poor an parasitic middle class.

[lusciousthecat]

@MrTabby5000 Yup. Makes sense to go where there is the least amount of money, and plus, trickle down economics has worked so darn well for the rich. Besides if you create more jobs why you just have to ship them to China to fatten up the quarterly profits. Why build a wasteful factory here when you just have to build another one in China eventually anyway?

[MrTabby5000]

@lusciousthecat

we live in a global economy.

[lusciousthecat]

@MrTabby5000 We live in a global feudalistic big dog eats little dog economy.

[MrTabby5000]

@lusciousthecat

and in nature the big dog eats the little dog.

[lusciousthecat]

@MrTabby5000 Sure does. wanna go back and live in caves and have to kill dinner with your bare hands? I'm game. About the only thing I will miss that much is hot water. Curious as to how long the rest of you city boys last though. Buzzards will fair well in a few weeks.

[MrTabby5000]

unions are communist.

[HRH787]

@MrTabby5000 You're a fucking idiot with no idea of what the definition of "communism" is.

Unions are what prevent our already failing democratic society from becoming a full-fledged corporatist one.

Since you're so fixed on the idea of communism, I highly suggest that you sterilize yourself and then lock yourself in a closet in Russia.

Tool.

[lusciousthecat]

@HRH787 Um, unless you are being tongue in cheek too and I missed it, i thought you might want to know MrTabby was being tongue in cheek. We do a bunch of that cheek stuff here so that is okay. (We got so darned intelligent here in the comments we knocked each otherr out. Where's my pulitzer prize dammit!)

[MrTabby5000]

@HRH787

obama is a communist and a marxist.

[lusciousthecat]

@MrTabby5000 You are something else entirely:)

[MrTabby5000]

@lusciousthecat

Thats what my republican friends tell me about obama..

[lusciousthecat]

@MrTabby5000 My republican friends used to let me wax their floors. They have nice floors. Usually took quite a while because of the sheer square footage. Then I lost my job to an immigrant worker from Detroit, Michigan who underbid me.

[alittlewrm]

good idea! people will pay better attention to a cat then a neckbeard~

i loved the fuck out of this btw

[lusciousthecat]

@alittlewrm Humor is harder to attack, plus logic does not seep under the slammed shut hood like comedy does. These points are so flamingly powerful, a cartoon was perhaps the best way to smooth it all down.

[Redfingers]

Please worship large, profitable corporations. They need your help. Have a heart. Think big.

<3

[lusciousthecat]

@Redfingers I shall work on it. Right after the rapture comes I will get to it. I promise.

[lusciousthecat]

@Redfingers Ah...sorry to bother you again but do you by any chance know what the capital gains tax is in heaven? I may need to unload some stuff at the pearly gates but if capital gains is low enough, maybe I can carry it all the way into Heaven.

[dookiecheez]

I mean we could easily cover the deficit in Wisconsin by raising taxes on the super rich ever so slightly, bringing the amount they pay a shred closer to a level proportional to that of the lower and middle class. But that would just be silly.

[lusciousthecat]

@dookiecheez Yes they did do okay when the tax was 92% back in the 1950s but you know, even though so many of them are 100 times wealthier now an extra 4 percent would cause extreme pain. why goodness a 20% increase will kill them dead. *shudders* dear god don't raise taxes just bust up more unions. maybe we can get Chinese 5 year olds to do their jobs for just pennies a day.

[dookiecheez]

@lusciousthecat

Well if Walker get's his way then they can get Americans to do the same job for half as much! Won't that be something. Instead of outsourcing, they'll just turn part of Wisconsin into mexico, it's win win! I mean except for all of those state workers, and the indirect impact it would have on the economy to reduce their spending powers drastically...well let's just not think about that.

[lusciousthecat]

@dookiecheez If the GOP gets it's way we will all be working for a taco a day. It's entirely possible Americans will start sneaking into Mexico for better wages. Better not put that border fence up yet so we can get easy access.

[shraka]

@lusciousthecat I wouldn't do that, the Chinese will be our new overlords in not too long. You probably don't want your new lords and masters to be made up of people you abused just a generation ago. ;)

[lusciousthecat]

@shraka I already covered them in another video. No kidding,.Definitely not people to mess with.

[burntheretic]

Well this was a thing.

[lusciousthecat]

@burntheretic That was one heck of a comment.

[evelynamodifieddog2]

Let's send the Koch brothers running. And I mean running away from their wealth, away from their monstrous empire, leave this country forever and leave their assets behind. Minus 1%

[lusciousthecat]

@evelynamodifieddog2 That is rather draconian although 1% is still an enormous, ridiculous amount of wealth. My thinking, just mine mind you, is if 90% was okay to tax at during Ike's administration (and the economy was booming) and we are at 35% (and the economy sucks) let's split the difference on anyone earning over 1 million a year. say 65%. That would still leave the Koch's with $350 million a year off of an income of 1 billion. they may have to start using coupons...(for private jets)

[evelynamodifieddog2]

@lusciousthecat Good enough. By minus 1% I mean let's just eliminate that 1% who, like serial killers, have proven their inability to function in society. By eliminate I mean put them in prison forever, drive them into the desert, or perhaps a more public form of humiliation. I think they have all (as they love to say) "EARNED!" our disdain. Nothing more draconian than HOARDING at the expense of lives and the land itself. I wouldn't miss any of them were they to depart this Earth.

[lusciousthecat]

@evelynamodifieddog2 I am RC so I am limited in my actions in this regard but the sheer avarice involved in all of this is sickening, as is, all of the human suffering wrought upon us to date and what will be brought upon us moving forward. the most saddening part is how few see the crimes against us.

[TAz69x]

@lusciousthecat haha, awesome comment!

=3

[ADSR4Ever]

Dude, this is silly. But you are absolutely right. Walker is a paid agent of Koch Industries. I always want to ask the union-busting mob: Do you get Saturday and Sunday off? Have you ever taken a single day of paid sick leave? Are you not fired the moment your boss learns you're pregnant? Do you work less than 14 hours a day? Have you ever taken a single day of paid vacation? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, thank labor unions.

[lusciousthecat]

@ADSR4Ever This has been going on for over 30 years which I alluded to in the video. it is not only sheer greed it is total ignorance about history. we have been here before and apparently learned nothing.

[ADSR4Ever]

@lusciousthecat Yeah. I signed off of my last post "See y'all back at Matewan!", because that's exactly where we'll be in ten years if these fools get their way. And I'm old enough to have had a great uncle and a grandfather who was there. It is incredible to me how energetically people will work against their own self interest in the name of some distorted political principal. So, my friend, my question to you is: will you wear your cat suit to the Company Store? Sorry. Gallows humor.

[lusciousthecat]

@ADSR4Ever That is where we are headed.

[chicomahalo]

ah those loathsome profiteers who are busily exploitatiing our economic system.

If only the human spirit could perseve in the face of all opponents, just like "Jehovah" promised, we, too, might have been celebrated for our generosity toward mankind...if only...

[lusciousthecat]

@chicomahalo beautiful. if only i could inspire such words or better, actions.

[thepuppetstv]

what is a 'wince-cunt-sin?' ....and why is Mayor Kock getting involved? NY secession in 2012!

[lusciousthecat]

@thepuppetstv cheese comes out of 'wince-cunt-sin" sis all i knows. i hear it beez good cheese.

[FunLovingCriminals77]

taxes taxes only thing good about taxes is the dallas cowboys

[lusciousthecat]

@FunLovingCriminals77 i want what you had for breakfast.

[montaramike]

Breaking the unions will take yet one more thing away from the Mafia, what are they to do?

[lusciousthecat]

@montaramike The mafia keeps the streets clean. I am not thrilled with their "existence" but they are unfortunately part of the ecosystem, and well, I do like clean streets.
