US worst income disparity in world

[McMuffin752]

REVOLT do something bout this shit

[YoungDreezee]

its cheaper to outsource jobs overseas. why pay an american $35,000 a year when I can pay a Indian or Chinese $5,000 a year? We need to support small businesse. for example , why use contractors from Home Depot or Lowes when you can hire someone down the street to do work? If you bought a rug from HD or Lowes, dont use their contractors, spread the wealth

[carbonfiberfan]

Canada is actually a great place to live but there are no jobs there and most people from there that I know just mooch of welfare.

[247websolutions]

Part of the problem in the U.S. is that our educated men and women such as Economist Mike Norman still believe that failed policy is responsible for America's decline. People like him are not able or willing to perceive that this is a planned implosion. It is this inherent inability in our educated population that exacerbates the problem by not allowing true justice to run its course.

[jamwaters]

The problem is guns - when harms way is out your front door, it doesn't take long for this to happen.

[edeal86]

@MNgeneralfinance Privatization always works?? Then I suppose the Black Water army wasn't as disastrous as it was, and that all the new harsh on crime laws that the private prison industry lobbied for are just so illustriously majestic. Not to mention the families of veterans that are now in a class action law suit with Met Life, because Congress allowed them to invest all the insurance money in the now defunct stock market. Growing trend? All, but certain industries that will be reclaimed.

This guy said it, the price of weed is too damn high! How could I afford to feed myself after I get the munchies?

[ClanTheNuke]

Sexual Favours shall be the new currency, you want something, you give a blowjob.

I joke i joke.

[Mr1700]

[dragonballman07]

fuck that reporter is sexy

[Mystery207]

Why don't you get some poor people to comment

[chan0chap]

russia is loosing 700.000 ppl a year

the birth rate is the lowest in europe

the death rate in russia is worst than the poorest african countries.

stop with this bullshit

[PlainSight52]

For the most part I kinda like RT, but everytime you incorrectly state or give reference to the US being a Democracy and not the Republic for which we are Constitutionally guranteed.... I kinda like you a little less.

So please stop sending the wrong message to people, we are a Republic not a Democracy (which is VERY similar to Communism & I don't think you want to appear to be sending that message).

[mcap52]

Thank you RT for once again showing your liberal bias. Is it the fault of the people who WORK FOR A LIVING that those who don't are having problems?

[SONOFABITCH]

4:20 - "THE PRICE OF WEED IS GOING UP"

(not true, btw...weed prices have been consistent for 20 years)

[haughvilleol]

@SONOFABITCH LMAO! Is that a glitch or what?! talking about Pot & doing it right @ 4:20?! lol

[johan404]

@SONOFABITCH He said wheat, as in the stuff you use to make bread. Dumbass.

[SONOFABITCH]

@johan404 <---this fag thought I was serious. Trolled much?

[johan404]

@SONOFABITCH Now you're just embarrased, trying to cover up your fail by saying you were "trolling". I get it, sure. Good luck.

[SONOFABITCH]

@johan404 Aww ok you got me. But I'm still pretty sure you love the cawk.

[johan404]

@SONOFABITCH So ... you hate the gays? What about black people? Are you the Grand Imperial Wizard of the KKK? Do you beat gay black people on the weekends? Burn them on the cross? Organize old fashion lynchmobs? You should be ashamed of yourself.

[SONOFABITCH]

@johan404 Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I take it all back.

 So what's it like to french kiss another man's anus?

[johan404]

@SONOFABITCH I forgive you. Dunno, I'm straight.

[SONOFABITCH]

@johan404 Looks like I'd better investigate this myself.

[mrnicktoyou]

I'm sorry but, I just can't forgive Mike Norman for the way he spoke to Peter Schiff back before the collapse. He was such a smug prick.

[johan404]

@mrnicktoyou Let's hope he's seen the light.

[gringodeltoro1]

SHOT THE DUCK!

[FactualSolutions]

Did you know?

The Zeitgeist Movement is the only Group out there that has brought up some Real and Tangible Solutions to ACTUALLY SOLVE OUR ECONOMICAL, SOCIAL & ECOLOGICAL CRISIS - to know more about it, watch: "Awakening - Multilang - 1/4" (short video) and "Zeitgeist Addendum". Both of them are on YouTube.The SOLUTIONS presented in both videos are already being applied and they have already been proved to work in the short and long run. It's about time to expand/spread it World Wide.

[tigranvartanovitch]

Hoorah! Mike Norman's talking sense!

[dyingangelo]

united snakes of america

[frontier1701]

Mike Norman is an economist ???? WOW

[boswellchrome]

WHAT DID HE SAY AT 4:21 ?

[thegreendestiny]

Well, Russia doesn't lag behind in terms of income disparity though. Oligarchs run the Russia like vultures as much as elites do in America.

[grendelcatt]

Hey, at least were #1 at something ,eat that world...

[MarkoKraguljac]

@grendelcatt

Dont forget prison population and military spending...

[grendelcatt]

@MarkoKraguljac oh yeah...(LOL)

[Dendroaspisviridis1]

Hey RT there are poor and rich people in every single nation. I mean honestly disparity not equal income wth is that idiot talking about. Rich people earned it do the work get the money. You work a wendys and you want to make the same as a ceo what a joke and that guy is a idiot. Canada gas price and milk are through the roof as is most things. The healthcare is joke

[solimiansky]

americans love snooki snooki

[PERIZ99]

Thanks for the chuckle RT...You're the biggest joke around..!! : )

[jamesappleridge]

hmm, the rhetoric is really up, what's going on over in russia, stop scrambling jets.

[desirefirst]

"US worst income disparity in world" - BS, go to south america and africa; there's homeless FAT people in this country.

[NerdyLiberal]

@desirefirst

*Facepalm* Disparity!!! Not overall wealth

[Sexisttroll]

@desirefirst yeah its true... poor in the US are still fat... I guess that means our poor class equals middle in africa and some parts of south america...

[Sexisttroll]

besides what is poverty for us? not being able to afford netflix?

[MarkoKraguljac]

@desirefirst

lol Following that silly line of thought I could say that US citizens are healthiest in the world. And they are very far from that. Wide spread obesity, so common in US, is a sign of sickness and toxic diet.

[uspimpclub]

IS THIS THE MIKE THAT SAID PETER SCHIFF WAS AN IDIOT AND ECONOMIC COLLAPSE WILL NEVER HAPPEN ???? ---- please youtube search Peter Schiff and Mike Norman

[MarkoKraguljac]

@uspimpclub

watch?v=mcVVCH1w7XQ to see Peter Schiff free market guy on unemployment benefits.. They are all a bunch of "expert" pricks, left and right, up and down.. a bunch of opportunist asshat snake oil salesmen.. We are still building pyramids for pharaohs (metaphorically speaking) and all their crap is just a pile of lousy fairy tales.

[unholytim]

Bender : Yep.....Were boned.

[Peter4101]

@unholytim Not if i have something to say about it.

[blackiron60]

Never believe a capitalist government that says its going to prosecute the same capitalists who put it into power.

[romeoechomike369]

1% of the U.S. population holds as much wealth as 95% of the population. Globalization is forcing this disparity on the rest of the world as well. In India, China, and Russia, there is an elite upper class being created made up of a select few, while those at the bottom work long hours for very little pay, or else are unemployed and homeless. The U.S. is the worst, with the middle class having been destroyed, starting with the Regan administration. It's worse now than during the Czar!

[jess1up]

@romeoechomike369 Exactly, Kennedy was the last real president and Ron Paul may be our last hope.

[romeoechomike369]

@jess1up I like Ron Paul. His son however, seems not to be made of the same cloth. I am very skeptical of all politicians. I find that many so-called Libertarians are nothing more than wolves (Neocons) in sheep's (Liberal) clothing.

[funknando007]

@romeoechomike369 Time to rise up! No longer acknowledge the current currency and create one of our own--one of the people.

[edeal86]

@MNgeneralfinance Oh, it's more then a math trick. Considering the amount of malignant economic damage the top percentages have caused over the years with their derivative trades, and speculation. Not to mention the privatization of our political system(Citizens United vs FEC) that has completely corrupted our three branches of government. I can rightly say that you are going to have more to worry about than when someone complains, the next time wall street bursts the bubble.

[edeal86]

@MNgeneralfinance I could ask you the exact same question. Since you didn't comprehend what I said. It is more likely that you are just being disingenuous. Do to you not having a premise to win this debate. Which is typical of conservatives.

[edeal86]

@MNgeneralfinance Derivative nuts?? You seem to of misinterpreted my statement. I wasn't aspersing securities in general, but merely the highly disastrous derivative trade operation that is occurring concurrently on Wall Street as I type this message. When the Supreme Courts "Citizens United v. FEC" ruling overruled decades of precedent, the consequence was the malign privatization of our political system.

[edeal86]

@MNgeneralfinance You are either being highly delusively fallacious, or you have you are inanely unintelligent. I clearly stated that "Citizens United vs FEC" is what caused the privatization of our political system. This case now allows corporations, and wealthy individuals to contribute an unlimited amount of funds to politicians, as well as run a limitless amount of ads anonymously. You are the one that seriously does not know what they are talking about. There is no such case as US vs FEC.

[windofthegods]

wall st needs to burn, burn all the suits on a stake like a salem witch hunt

[bd1965]

Social Justice

[WJValente]

How does it feel people to know that the elite don't care if you starve to death, but they do care about taking your money to bail out their ultra-rich friends.

[harveybirdmannequin]

How low can ya go? I was going to ask you the same thing, Priya.

The FREE MARKET! SQUAWK!

SQUAWK! The free market can solve everything! SQUAWK!

Austrian! SQUAWK!

SQUAWK! Giving poor people unemployment benefits is Socialism! SQUAWK!

Must bail out banks! SQUAWK!

SQUAWK! Give trillions to banks and give more money to the richest people. That's how the world is supposed to work. SQUAWK!

Must kill the productive class. Fatten the parasite class. SQUAWK!

[windofthegods]

@harveybirdmannequin lol is true SQUAWK!

[BlackHAwkdOwn2983]

@harveybirdmannequin so whatrs your alternative? im guessing its communisim based on your comments mocking people who belive in the free market(FREEDOM), any way communism has only killed well over 200 million people lets give it another chance? fuck off and learn from people who actually pay taxes for a living you stupid fucking hippe, and your sarcasticly written comment doessnt make you sound clever you ass. but if you agree socialism(facism)/communism is #!, lern frm the exprts(hitlr/stalin

[nograviti]

@harveybirdmannequin HAHA, so true, the funniest post I have seen in a while

[Sincopare]

Dear RT America - you never cease to entertain! I'll take poverty in the USA over poverty in Russia anyday. AND BTW, Wall street is a money machine. HELL O !

[redarrowhead2]

US worse income disparity in world? roflol. try china.

[hablerz]

@redarrowhead2 Whats the difference ?

[michaelmage]

Fuck America .. Canada rules.

[JoseTwitterFan]

@michaelmage Wait til the GOP takes back the White House, then its Canada Here We Come!!!

[michaelmage]

@JoseTwitterFan Bring it! We got room enough to bury all your lame asses. :D

[nadoop]

@michaelmage Not sure the major differences between Canada and the US. And last I checked, Canada was America's biatch.

[michaelmage]

@nadoop Canada is the ONLY country to beat the US in a war. I bet you can't even name which one. Mwahahaha fool.

[windofthegods]

@michaelmage Vietnam beat the US

[michaelmage]

@windofthegods That wasn't a War it was a 'police action' Learn your history.

Besides, it seems to me that it was Vietnam that was destroyed ... not the US. Mwahahahaha You a gook windy? lol

[windofthegods]

@michaelmage By police you mean military and by action you mean war.

[trademarc66]

This is nothing new. The bankers have tried, and mostly been successful at "OWNING" the United States since the days of George.W. ( that's George Washington btw). They are just reiterating their claim, and apparently no one is going to stop them.

[EasternGateGuardian]

perhaps major lynchings are not to far away

[jreed136]

China and Russia are far worse.

[countergnom]

"I think we have gone below Brazil" Shouldn't he do a little research and know whether this is true or not?

[mousey1952]

I'm not surprized, that's the way progressives work, their goal is to wipe out the middle class, like russia in 1917 and pit the poor against the middle class, like poor people think those making 250,00 are rich, in the USA most of those making 250,000 are small business and middle clase, topo down bottom up

[xchainlinkx]

only way to redistribute wealth and make everyone equal is to remove money, and completely change the entire system of economics.

A resource-based economy people, it's not that difficult to understand.

[slhines7]

Mike is not someone that anyone should listen to at all, for he entirely disagrees with Peter Schiff.

[mousey1952]

@slhines7 it is not the mega wealth that will pay the taxes , Bill Gates will pay very little, it is the middle class that will play and the ones the progressives are trying to wipe out, if they want to tax Bill Gates 200% i don't care

[hablerz]

@slhines7 Anyone who disagrees with Schiff is quite simply wrong.

[slhines7]

@hablerz You sure as heck got that right.
