People keep saying racist is a problem and what not so why are white people the only ones complain about every other race but there own it seems to me you guys are the problem just saying you really dont see blacks being racist or Mexican or Asian or Chinese people all i see on youtube is white posting stupid shit about someone else not all white people are dick heads but 70% of them are
It's sad racism is such a big issue in our world today there are good and bad people in every race, but people still love to focus on black people and our downfalls but fail to applaud us on the positive we do contribute to society but I know it's much easier to hate then it is to love and just appreciate everybody for who they are and not all the bad the media pump into our minds. I know plenty of over achiever blacks and whites and hispanics, nothing is ever going to change
This is a shameless plug for my political channel ScreamingHeadAffairs. I want to be a place of consolidation for black people and politics. There is no place where smart, good black folks can come and intelligently discuss issues. And if there is a place, my channel's better because my vids are funnier and better produced.
@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 They did it in a way less obvious than just saying its blacks and mexicans faults, by reminding the viewers that a black man is in office. During the housing crisis it was widely assumed by alot of white people in this country, that minorities were to blame. Now fast forward to the future Bank Of America has to pay one of the biggest settlements in history for discriminating against mexicans and black people for higher interest rates for money borrowed than whites.
@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 Listen idiot, The department's action against Countrywide makes clear that we will not hesitate to hold financial institutions accountable, including one of the nation's largest, for lending discrimination," Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "These institutions should make judgments based on applicants' creditworthiness, not on the color of their skin.”
@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 According to the Department of Justice, it marks the largest residential fair lending settlement in history. Covering actions between 2004 and 2008, the settlement offers financial compensation to more than 200,000 qualified borrowers who were charged higher fees or given subprime loans because of their race, not because of their creditworthiness, the government said.
@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 Bank of America’s (BAC: 5.47, +0.24, +4.59%) Countrywide Financial unit agreed on Wednesday to pay $335 million to settle allegations it discriminated against minority homebuyers by steering them toward dangerous subprime mortgages.
@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 Your out of your league kid! Pick up a book and put something in your little brain, instead of making foolish comments on the internet about things you don't understand...educate yourself and do something useful with your life, besides defending ignorance and making yourself look like an ass in a public forum. Please don't reply back, besides getting owned must be your hobby. Now do us all a favor and kill yourself!
kid? I have socks older than you dipshit. You liberals are fucking stupid people. You think youre smart, you say youre smart but really youre not. Do us all a favor and kill yourself
@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 I'm sure everyone can read our post and see who is what.LOL You tell lies, deny the facts, give misinformation, and I correct you and put you in your place...youv'e been owned and still wanna talk, do you not have shame. Leave me alone and make up some more facts to satisfy your twisted world view, cause you might have socks older than me, but I'll run rings around you intellectually any day of the week. Old socks owned by an adult male w/ an I.Q. a retard would smug at. Looser
Audit the Fed. If they have less than 20% of the money owed, take a fucking wooden stake to their heart at dawn. Better yet, go gitmo, abu graib on their sorry asses.
@Everyone it's a shame how you all talk to each other and have these outrageous racial comments. Rather your black or white do you really feel that much better getting that off your chest? You all are so pathetic! There is some truth about the minority housing community but at least help someone you know in need and not kick them while there down. I'm sure most of you have white and black friends. Support humanity and quit taking sides. If you are still racist in 2011 all I can do is smh..lol
Believe or not blacks actually bring down property values. Blacks slowly move into a nice all white neighborhood. Whites then move out because they know the habits of blacks. Next thing you know, that same neighborhood that use to be nice and all white is now a run down ghetto. This is not racism, this is the truth. Just research the housing trends since the 60s
it just dawned on me, this is called "The Young Turks"! is this an american show even... well I'm not sure what you mean by Young Turks but I'd love to hear the explanation if anyone knows. Is it talking about the Turkish, the country of Turkey?
Blacks are the worst race ! They are good at sports and rapping and...well thats about it ! Oh wait they are also good at drugs, murder, shooting, raping, slacking off at work and eating 20 big macs at once
They produce fuck all for advancement of Humanity !
Cavuto is blaming the push & the Pressure to loan money,. He is blaming the Admin for this political move that lead to the meltdown. It is a a stretch to say he is blaming minorities when Liberal's are the ones who have used minorities in countless ways for votes. Loans were made to all races and classes by the score who never should have had the loans in the first place. This has nothing to do with race and we all know it. I suggest you stop playing the race card and start dealing in facts.
@realrocky8591 wow another racist loser online. Let me guess you can get bold online because no one will be able to confront you.. News flash buddy not true so let me learn you something new here there are more WHITE PEOPLE in charge of our economy so how can a minority be the main cause of ruining it?!
Black people are all like your type...they don't like hearing the truth, so they threaten to beat someone up who says anything that criticizes them. Well, it's time that white people stopped caring about black people and let them fend for themselves.
@realrocky8591 First off nowhere in my post did i threaten to beat you up. Secondly, your not stating a fact your stating an opinion you have. Third of all not all black people are the same and im not completely black. Fourthly My family probably has more money than your family put together just one of my parents makes $400,000 working at a Fortune 500 company. So if we wanted to fend for ourselves we can with no problem
You are right that not all black people are the same. You are also correct that your parents do make good money.
The problem is that people are quick to pounce on story headings like "Fox News blames black people" without analyzing it for themselves or knowing the truth. Some people (liberals in general, along with a sizeable chuck of black people) believe that it's a human right to not be verbally/mentally offended.
I saw the clip multiple times. Pathetic. The Young Turks really go out of their way to defame Fox News. Such misquotes and misinterpretations. If this is their opinion of intellectualism, then I say just offend all the people there is to offend and stop stepping on eggshells.
@Shymeezy Let me guess... YOU'RE so bold online because no one will confront you when you rant about other people's opinions. Pussy fuck keyboard warrior nigger bitch. :D
@yabitchonmydikk I guess you should give America back to Native Indian Americans and go back to where you came from then? (Complete sarcasm in case you don't notice). You represent everything wrong with America in that one statement, ignorant and racist. Go and learn the history of your country to truly find out why there are black people in America to begin. They were BROUGHT to America by AMERICANS. Black people have every right to live in America.
Ahhh good ol racism alive and well. After hundreds of years this country refuses to make any attempt to pull itself out of the toilet. This shit is embarrassing.
Thats right too many blacks wearing the the bling bling around their neck and bling bling on their 56" rims caused the financial crisis. Thats because rapping does not produce anything that can be consumed physically. Hence Blacks do fuck all for productivity of America
Lol. Your bias against blacks is distorting your reality. You knock black people for rapping because it does not produce anything that can be consumed physically. So are you knocking all musicians, including white musicians? If so, why do you only mention black rappers? If you're going to make disparaging remarks, at least try not to sound like a total dumb ass yourself.
And in case you assume so, I'm neither liberal nor black, I just call out morons when I see 'em.
@boowallie Noooooo you miss the point ! Blacks dont know anything besides rapping. Get it now ? If not then insert that middle finger up your anus ok ?
@TheVodka2012 blacks no more than just rapping and sports you uneducated asshole, keep your ignorant comments to yourself because if i wanted to i can say all white women know is how to sleep their way to the top and white males will kill their families to have power..
@Shymeezy Uneducated ? learn to spell know ok ...yeah?Now go fit some bling on all your front teeth and drop that pants to your knee put on a cap backwards and plug that ipod in your ears and walk like a cripple on the curbside wassuping all who pass you....and get that feel good factor that black race is the bomb :)
Of course music has value. Music is entertainment, that has value. You're just not smart enough to understand that a product does not need to be tangible to have value. You need to take some introductory business classes, but you sound young because you thinking saying "cumshot" or any other reference to sex is cool so maybe you aren't there yet.
@Who said I think it is cool? Simply calling someone what they are is not at all being "cool."
I'm pretty sure that guy (and I agree with him) is saying is that rap music does not support a greater good like other purchaseable items. Do you not get that?
Look at his original statement. "Thats because rapping does not produce anything that can be consumed physically." That is why I'm talking about services and intangible products. His original point is not "rap does not support a greater good like other purchaseable items" which is a completely different point. Stay on topic, you're irrelevant. Want me to school you some more?
@boowallie I was clarifying his statement based on what I think he meant. You take it all too literal, probably because hearing it literal gives you a reason to bitch.
You were clarifying someone else's statement based on what YOU THINK he meant? Jesus Christ you're fucking stupid, on many levels LOL. Reflect on why your statement is fucking stupid LOL.
By the way it's "literally" not "literal". Literally is an adverb whereas literal is an adjective. Literal would describe a noun. Literally describes a verb. You're welcome.
By the way, hearing something literalLY cannot give someone a reason to bitch. That's a not a reason, more like an opening. Anyways, your IQ is way too low for someone like you to be talking to someone like me. "tehpewpew420" says it all. Your subscription to internet memes in congruence to the "420" (you cool stoner, you, OMG WEED IS COOL) tells me all I need to know about you.
@boowallie Ok, try purposely misreading something, you nugget dick.
Everything I need to know about you has already been spoken. You are a worthless dipshit who thinks that posting comments to people will actually make them think more like you.
Go on, you're totally proving something here, mostly what a total angry jackass you are. Ad hominem attacks usually mean you have nowhere to go. Backed into a corner much? Lol, i think we both know who is smarter here.
Yeah I'm misreading. I directly refute his argument, and then you talk about what YOU think he meant (talk about contortion). My argument was not an ad hominem attack because I am discussing the issue he brought up as pertinently as possible. Nice attempt to allude to common logical fallacies to try to make your comment look intelligent, but you should've figured out by now you can't pull that shit with me. Tsk tsk.
Now read your last comment to me. It's basically a comment filled with generic insults that won't get past skin deep because they're exactly that: generic. This is how I know I'm at the end of the "argument" because I've reduced you to a babbling half-assed fool. Just study the method I used to make you look like a fool and copy my method in the future when you get into an "argument" with someone else. Yeah, I'm an altruist.
segregation is still alive! That comment is just another statement of fact on how they think about blacks! They want us dependant on them 24/7! They keep us out of good jobs. They find ways to ruin our current financial situation. They pull us over constantly when we work hard to buy a house in a suburban neighborhood! Now they're blaming us for screwing up the money! Bush started this crap! Its amazing what 8 years can do to a country!! I wish Bill Clinton could come back!!
@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 that aint going to happen but i like the cut of your jib, why not direct that energy into what floats your boat..........just dont get caught! wink wink
The government *did* start the ball rolling by pushing borrowing and lending to Americans who heretofore could not purchase a home. Bush even gave a speech on it and introduced Fanny May and Freddy Mack. It's wrong to suggest the government did not play a role in the crisis. Between the super-low interest rates and the quasi-government purchase of these sub-prime mortgages they helped fuel the housing bubble. That's just a fact. Race is not relevant.
Now, these policies were championed by minority groups including those who represent African Americans, and Americans of all colours got into the housing market who otherwise would not have been able to do so. So on that point, Neil is correct.
What he fails to mention is that banks then created collateralized debt obligations and *sold* the mortgages on to unsuspecting investors across the world. Making BILLIONS in fees.
@carltonbranchto -why couldn't "americans of "all colors" get into the housing market? What law or criteria forbid that? Or are you saying "they" shouldn't have been allowed to participate in the housing market? If that's what you're saying, then why? Are we less deserving? Or is the disparity in pay for the SAME jobs a disqualification factor in saying that "we" shouldn't have been allowed to buy houses, especially if our income to debt ratio was equal to "non-colored" people????
Yeh, ok, no whites are in foreclosure....uh huh... used to debt collect on discover card paper, ive seen 10's of thousands of credit reports, 4 and 8 and 12 credit cards stacked on reports, unpaid, charged off, 1 - 5 foreclosures, numbers like that. just huge huge debt, yep, all those files had no whites, come now lol, as a matter fact, most all of it was whites, thats who had the credit in the first place to obtain that much debt to default on, and many of them were nasty about paying it back
@nikmarkwell no, who is responsible is americans buying more than they can afford, nobody forced people to get in interest only loans, 500k houses with 900 dollar payments, then the ballooned to 2800, now they can't afford it, did maxine do that? Did dems force you to max out credit cards at home depot and wells fargo? Did they force you to buy big SUVs so you can look cool at the tail gate parties with your season tickets? Come now, take responsibility for your own actions
Should we blame the poor who overused credit, or the financial institutions who gave them access to a buying power greater than anything they could afford ?
Fox News is dangerous. I have a black girlfriend and so because this media corporatism says that blacks are the problem means that I have to believe it. Idiots. I am white and am happy to say that I love a 3/4 black woman.
Yep, they're totally biased, I agree. But so are you, and so am I. TYT lets you know what their angle is straight up, and then backs it up with facts that support their conclusion. Other news networks, such as, I don't know, Fox, they make lies up and then force it down America's throats by the sheer fact they control so much of the media.
The left is getting it's ass handed to it. Believe it or not, the people who own the multi million dollar news corporations are in the GOP. The left doesn't control the media or the term "socialism" wouldn't scare the average joe shitless. You know what socialism is? Fire Departments. Police Forces. Their pay happens to come out of socially funded tax revenue. Socialism isn't bad. The right wing media just makes you think its bad. Canada's health care system is free, BTW.
@EclipseClemens >obviusly u dont know what it means tho, the departments you listed are infact socialism, and so are public schools, SS and Medicare... you can't have a pure capitalism, and you CERTENLY cant have a pure socialism, because it destroys nations (UK for example) and it IS a bad thing, but needed in small doses
>and if by free, u mean a large financial burden on the country and causes more harm then good, then refers you to a "super hospital" or in the U.S. a hospital....
@EclipseClemens lol......socialism is far more than you stated. And no......the Canadian health care system is not free. LOFl.......I always here about "Federal Funds" used in the USA by the politicians. Even at my PA State level politicians. My response is as follows, "so please enlighten me to what product or service the Federal Gov produces or provides that results in a profit that the Fed Gov is more than happy to give to the States?". The answer is none!
@EclipseClemens Last time I checked we have Fire Depts and Police Depts in the USA. So using your definition. We do have Socialism here. It is good in small doses. In fact, the USA is a hybrid and uses several types of political philosophies. We have become to heavily socialized. We are reaching a tipping point whereas too many Americans depend on the Fed Gov for their day to day survival. Many of these people vote Dem. And the Dem leadership knows this.
@EclipseClemens with this block voting (many of who do not pay into the system) for those who promise them more and more of other people's hard earned money. They won't vote those who want to wean them off. Once the tipping point is reached. It will be share misery for all. Socialism works great until you run out of other people's hard earned money.
@EclipseClemens A personal friend of mine voted for Obama only because if she didn't. She wouldn't have her research job. It was Federally funded. She couldn't stand him. Still voted to save her job. In my opinion. The Fed Funds should have been stopped. We don't have the money right now. If we did. Be my guest and fund it. Her research wasn't anything life saving.
@EclipseClemens So the Canadian Healthcare system is free. You make me LOFL! The people I know who live in Canada pay into the system through taxes taken put of their pay. They all claim for you to get care you must work and contribute. Based on this. Our system is actually better for those who don't pay into the system. We take care of them. In fact we have a Federal Law that states so. Canada only takes care of those who pay into system.
@EclipseClemens I had talked to one of those people from Canada. He said the care for common things was pretty good. He said if you needed a physical. You would fill out the paperwork and send it in. Someone would call you in a couple of weeks with your appointment date that would be a month later. I guess this isn't too bad. Gee, if I did it here in the US. I could get an appointment within a week. Or just go down to my local Walgreens the same day and pay $35.
@EclipseClemens Then he said if you had a more serious illness. Forget it. Many of the specialist have come to the States to be compensated more fairly for their knowledge and practice of the specialty. So the Canadian system is free. This makes me lofl yet again. Reminds me of how many view "Federal Funds" in the USA. I always ask people the following, "so what product of service does the Fed Gov produce or provide that results in a profit that they are so gracious to give to the States?".
@EclipseClemens Many are hard pressed to give me the answer. It is because the answer is NONE! They steal the money through taxing the productivity of the citizens that reside in the States. Then is is called Federal money. Foe the States to get some of this back. They must use it per the dictates of the Fed Gov. If not, the Fed will withhold grants for roads in the State. Of which in many cases the money belonged to the State in the first place. Time to repeal the 16th Amendment !
@EclipseClemens The taxing power must be returned to the State and Local Gov. The Fed must return to operating just off of Tariffs, excise taxes, and other indirect sources of taxation. No more taxing us directly. Oh yeah! The Fed income tax is not a direct tax......it is an indirect tax. This was the only way it would not be considered unconstitutional. The progressive did a great job at changing the terminology from direct to indirect. Up to this point, it was always considered a DIRECT tax.
@EclipseClemens Remember article 1, section 9 , clause 4 states "no capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken." Through my research and understanding. If the Fed gov over spent and went into debt. It would have to tax the States based on population. Not for the fed to directly tax us. We as individuals stand no chance to fight the Feds regarding Tax issues. This issue was between the Fed and the State Gov.
@EclipseClemens The State would have some leverage to fight against the Fed Gov. As for the indv. We dealt with our State and local gov. If we didn't like it. We could get up and move to another State. Now....if you do not like the Fed Gov taxation. You have to leave the country. Somehow, I don't the Founders had this in mind. Then the 17th Amendment. This must go to. I won't bore you anymore. We could always discuss the Fed Reserve Bank Act of 1913, nah too complicated. All 3 happened in 1913!
@draco4506 Go with Article 1 Section 8. We need taxes in this country. How else is government going to get revenue? The federal government has to be a role in the economy. The Fed is keeping this country afloat. It shows your ignorance when you don't want the people electing its senators.
@syzygy502 Apparently you are completely ignorant. The Federal Income Tax is a DIRECT tax on the citizens of the States in the Union. Remember that the States created The Federal Gov. It wasn't the Federal Gov that created the States. It is a well established fact that the Founders did not want the Fed Gov to tax the people directly. If the Fed need money to cover their expenses. They were to go to the State Gov for it. It was a check and balance between the Fed and State Govs.
@syzygy502 Now to answer your stupid question. I go through this same damn process with the ignorant staff members of one Senator and one Rep. Both of whom are Democrats. The other Senator, Republican Pat Toomey's office understands the Constitution as it was intended. Not what the Libs of today think of it. To them it is an ever changing document that changes everyday depending on which way the wind blows. Many Libs think the Fed can do what ever it wants to do.
@syzygy502 They always say....well the Constitution doesn't say that the Fed can't do this or that. Ahem....the Constitution was written to specify what the Fed Gov can do. It lists them clearly. Also states (paraphrased) that anything above and beyond is in the hands of the States. Now to answer your question this time. The Fed can collect duties(money from tariffs), imposts, and excises. We should be bringing more in from duties.
@syzygy502 We have severe trades imbalances. We are not on a level playing field (one of many factors as to why jobs are going overseas, esp good paying manufacturing ones). Some experts estimated that if we correct these imbalances. Yes it will take having a spine. If we show strength. Countries will fall into line. Some experts estimate that the Fed would get between $300 and $500 billion of extra duties. This would go far if the Fed was only doing what she was supposed to do.
@syzygy502 To cover your tax part of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1. You need to check Clause 4 under Section 9. If you research it. The Fed is to tax the States to cover its overspending. To be done via enumeration or Census. In other words. If PA was 10% of pop of USA. PA would have to cough up 10% of the shortfall. Remember the 16th Amendment is worded exactly the opposite of Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4.
@syzygy502 To further answer you. Why then did it take the USA until 1913 to impose a Fed Inc Tax? Sure the North during the Civil War imposed a Direct income tax to help fund the war. It was put in place with the understanding that it would be repealed immediately after the War. Which it was. Hmmmm......in 1898 the US Supreme Court ruled that a Direct Income tax was unconstitutional. The word Direct is the key here. The Progressives of the time were able to get the wording changed to indirect.
@syzygy502 Hence it is now Constitutional. Say hello to the solidifying of the Career politician and the fruits of the hard working person's labor stolen and changed to "Federal Funds". States now fight to get the $ that was taken from them in the first place. Apparently you are ok with the Fed Gov being as powerful and centralized as she is. Why stop their. Lets just go to the next level and usher in the World gov. Say hello to yet another level of taxation.
@syzygy502 Damn forgot about the UN. Some of the so called Federal Funds goes here. Prob the most corrupt gov that has ever existed. The further away the governing body that has control of the tax money. The more corrupt they become. The level of corruption is bad enough at the local level. Worse at county or city level. Even worse at State Level. Yet even worse than worse at the Fed level. At least at the local level. It is easier to march on those involved in the corruption.
@syzygy502 Seems like I am repeating myself on this post. Now as far as her role. I would say she should be more like a referee in the market place. Making sure that what is said to be in the cardboard box is really that TV that is pictured. Make sure products are safe, etc... Now when you say the Fed regarding holding the economy together. Do you mean the Fed Gov or the Fed Reserve? If you mean the Fed Gov. She needs to get out of the way and let the hardworking American get us out.
@syzygy502 As far as the Fed Res. What you are witnessing is the result of their monetary policy. The Fed Reserve controls the economy to such a high degree. The average person just doesn't have any clue. I remember working in the Financial Industry. When the Fed kept lowering the rates to try and keep the economy going. I asked myself. Just how low can they go? Perhaps into negative rates? Currently Money Markets have been waiving their fees as to keep a positive rate of return to investors.
@syzygy502 We are seeing the end days of the Fed and the Int'l banking cartel in the US. They will now concentrate on building up China and India. While at the same time sucking the wealth from the US. We kept the Fed Reserve out of the States for a long time. Wilson and the Progressive movement let them in. By doing this. They have destroyed the USA financially. We have to get rid of them so we can rebuild. Tax payers actually pay interest so the Fed Gov can borrow from the Fed Reserve.
@syzygy502 Now to answer your stupid ignorant Senator statement. Just a reminder! The House of Representatives is the people's voice in Congress. The States voice was the Senate moron! So tell me...where the heck was the input from the States regarding the Debt limit "Crisis"? Where was it? I think they should have a say. Don't you? Why do I need to call 3 fn offices (2 Sen and 1 Rep) every time regarding the same frackin issue. It is a waste of my time.
@syzygy502 You may want to revisit Article 1, Section2 as to who is supposed to elect the Representatives and who is supposed to CHOOSE the Senators. Of course the 17th Amendment did away with the Senator appointments by the State Legislature. Maybe you should research the 17th Amendment and find out why this came about. When I did. I laughed my butt off. There was a damn good reason why the Founders did what they did and wrote the Constitution the way they did

@syzygy502 What John Adams said nearing the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is so true. He said something to the effect that the true history of the Revolution has been lost. This is true with the original intent of the Constitution as well. It is barely taught in school. I had to educate my son after getting in an argument with his unionized grade school teacher.
@syzygy502 I remember talking to a lady in her 80s regarding what she was taught in school about the Founding of the USA. She said they spent a year on the Declaration and another year on the Constitution and there surrounding documents. This answer floored me. I am sure this next thing will floor you. All of the political views of today existed back in the late 1700s as well. The Constitution was a massive compromise between all of these views. Maybe it is time to rewrite a Constitution?
@syzygy502 It would be interesting to see how it would be worded. I am done. Don't bother responding. You prob didn't read most of what I said. You were prob too busy watching dancing with the stars or reading the latest gossip on Paris Hilton or Britney Spears. Believe it or not. I was once a flaming Lib up until my late 20s. As far as I am concerned. You can be as liberal as you want to be. Can't have it at the Fed Gov because of the way the Fed and State gov relationship is.
@syzygy502 As I always say. Be as liberal as you want when it comes to spending. You better make sure you have the $ in the bank. If you want to start a new or increase a current social program. Fine. Do it. A piece of advice. You better make sure it is sustainable through the worse of depressions. And do not use liberal numbers as we have been using in the past. They must be ultra conservative figures. Even here it may not work out as planned.
@syzygy502 Hmmm.....so which State in the Union came close to perfecting a Social Security program before the Fed gov adopted one? Some how I think the answer is goose egg! A big fat 0! So how many States voted Yea to Amending the Constitution and transferring the power to the Fed Gov? Another big fat 0! The States were to be the social testing grounds. What about healthcare. Did you go to your local gov and ask them to handle it? Why not?
@syzygy502 That is what I say to my Lib friends. They always respond by saying I don't trust them. So I ask why do you trust the Fed Gov who is much further away. They all look like deer in headlights. Then they try to weasel out of the corner they put themselves in. Typical Lib. I know. I had that mental disorder. Why do so many people have the sickness of thinking the Fed Gov is the answer to everything? Why all of these "comprehensive" solutions. How about tackling one thing at a time.
@syzygy502 The healthcare reform should have been tackled in small parts. One bill for Tort reform. Another bill cutting illegals out. Another bill going after fraud. And so on. Instead, lets jam a 2000 + page bill down the throat of America. All this time and money and shenanigans going on. To only find it to be unconstitutional. WWWWOOW!
@syzygy502 You really have no idea???? I feel for you. I just hope you finally wake up As I did a decade ago. Sometimes it just takes talking to someone who immigrated here. Leaving a Socialist country behind. Only to witness the poison spreading here little by little. At least this has been the response from over 10 people I talked to that went though this exact situation. It woke me up. You need to do the same and wake up yourself. Don't forget. We were born while the changes were being made.
@syzygy502 I went from Dem to Rep to Independent leaning Libertarian. Both parties are rotten to the core. We are forced to watch this pathetic game of tennis (back and forth) between them. Sick of this 2 headed 1 party system. The Demicans and the Republicrats. I at first liked some of what Obama had said. Then did some research of the lack of info on this person. As I studied what he said. He never to my standards backed it up via the Constitution.
@syzygy502 In fact he criticized the Constitution stating that it limited what the Fed Gov could do for the people. Well duh Mr Obama. That was the reason for the Constitution. Many have forgotten that the States gave power to the Federal Gov. It was done out of necessity. States (sovereign nation in that time period) were close to trade wars. Many expected Great Britain to be back (history covering a long spectrum tells us that). A State on her own would not stand long.
@syzygy502 The Fed Gov was supposed to be somewhat weak in many matters. Strong with regards to protecting the States of the Union. Check out what has been going on in the European Union. Which in my opinion came about in many regards similar to the USA without a Revolution. However, Europe had a long History of fighting amongst themselves. If the States of the Union didn't pull together. We would have had the same history moving forward after the Revolution.
@syzygy502 Many members of the EU are looking to leave. In the beginning it was about mutual protection, free trade among the members (free trade with other nations with similar standards of living-sol. Tariffs to those with a lower sol). Now it has become heavily centralized. In fact. It has become even more centralized and quicker than the USA. Now many want to leave it. It has gone way beyond what was originally agreed to. As did the USA.
@syzygy502 Back to Obama. Prior to the election I debated his office near where I live for 3 hrs. Then close to 3 hours at a McCain office. I left his looking to the sky and thought. There must be thousands of people more qualified than these 2 put together. This is what I have to chose from. RU frackin kidding me. I had to vote McCain, a somewhat of a Republican only to get gridlock in Congress. I never want to see the same party holding both the Legislative and Executive branches at the same.
@syzygy502 History tells us when this happens. Spending goes through the roof. Just look at Bush 2. Massive increase. The reason this happens is the political suicide effect. Can one imagine if a Pres of party "A" vetoes bill passed by Party "A" in Congress. Political ammunition for opposing party. Personally I would like to see the Party system outlawed. Some would rightfully disagree. That we have the right to gather.
@syzygy502 Really I guess it would be the right to assemble peacefully. I respond by stating that what the 2 parties have done has been nothing but criminal based on my perspective. It truly hasn't not been peaceful. I demanded a bill in Congress to this effect. Near $15 trillion in debt. Another 10 in 10 years. They are always wrong with their estimates. We will be over 30 trillion in 10 years. With another 60 to 70 in unfunded promises. Where is the doe rae me going to come from?
@syzygy502 Hence we are oblivious to what really has happened. I bet you have no idea about the 16th Amendment. How it was advertised as a tax on the super rich, etc........It is time for the taxing power to be returned back to the State and Local Govs where you and I can keep a closer eye on it. Here where I live. A corrupt official in my boro is about to get ratted. As he deserves to be. I hope he rots in jail for a long long time for skimming of tax payers $.
@draco4506 I will agree with you that the taxing system is corrupt. However, we disagree on who did it. It's the big businesses that mangled with it and now it's tough to change.
@syzygy502 It would be easy to change if the sleeping Americans would wake up and understand that they can do something. Too many say....."we can't do anything". Personally I am tired of hearing this. It is time the hard working play by the rules American that keeps this country going rise up and do something about. Truly believe in themselves for once! Sure big business had a hand in things. It was up to the elected officials to say no. Instead they said yes. The 1913 era was heavily corrupt .
@syzygy502 Just as Michael Moore said recently said that Wall Street gave millions and got billions in return. He just left out one thing. The Gov should have said no. They are to be the Referee. Imagine any sport where the Ref/umpire, etc.... was more for one side. The side that paid them off. Who gets screwed? The other player. Main Street was that other player that got screwed. I back the Tea Party most out of what is before the public.

@syzygy502 I just hope you are one of those people who don't believe the Tea Party was for the Wall Street bailout. They were not. The media did a great job at placing the blame on them. Just as the media did a good job blaming the downgrade on them as well. If it wasn't for them. We would be over $20 trillion debt before anyone would have raised an eyebrow. Obviously the Dems are chitting their pants. The Rep as well. Both parties do not want to see the game they have been playing end.
@syzygy502 I just don't know how you would think that I am for big business. I firmly know that the Fed Reserve system allowed this to happen. Thomas Jefferson warned us.....
@syzygy502 "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered......
@nikmarkwell right but they also layoff millions and contribute to the national meltdown, and steal taxpayers dollars to feed their greed. the supposed good they do is offsetted by the mountain of bad that they are guilty of.
it takes enormous gall for rich white people to blame poor black people for the economic crisis, especially when the socio-economic policies of the past 15 years have greatly enriched the (mainly white) aristocrats, while grinding the (mainly non-white) peasants even further into the ground. take some responsibility, assholes.
@skrullification I've raised college graduates who respect others, make a good living and are contributing to society. What can you teach me or anyone else about raising a kid?
It was lending to people that couldn't pay it back that caused the problem you idiot. You don't want people to listen to Fox because they might learn something.

@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 According to the Department of Justice, it marks the largest residential fair lending settlement in history. Covering actions between 2004 and 2008, the settlement offers financial compensation to more than 200,000 qualified borrowers who were charged higher fees or given subprime loans because of their race, not because of their creditworthiness, the government said.

The government *did* start the ball rolling by pushing borrowing and lending to Americans who heretofore could not purchase a home. Bush even gave a speech on it and introduced Fanny May and Freddy Mack. It's wrong to suggest the government did not play a role in the crisis. Between the super-low interest rates and the quasi-government purchase of these sub-prime mortgages they helped fuel the housing bubble. That's just a fact. Race is not relevant.

Now, these policies were championed by minority groups including those who represent African Americans, and Americans of all colours got into the housing market who otherwise would not have been able to do so. So on that point, Neil is correct.

@EclipseClemens lol......socialism is far more than you stated. And no......the Canadian health care system is not free. LOFl.......I always here about "Federal Funds" used in the USA by the politicians. Even at my PA State level politicians. My response is as follows, "so please enlighten me to what product or service the Federal Gov produces or provides that results in a profit that the Fed Gov is more than happy to give to the States?". The answer is none!

@EclipseClemens Last time I checked we have Fire Depts and Police Depts in the USA. So using your definition. We do have Socialism here. It is good in small doses. In fact, the USA is a hybrid and uses several types of political philosophies. We have become to heavily socialized. We are reaching a tipping point whereas too many Americans depend on the Fed Gov for their day to day survival. Many of these people vote Dem. And the Dem leadership knows this.
draco4506 4 months ago
@EclipseClemens with this block voting (many of who do not pay into the system) for those who promise them more and more of other people's hard earned money. They won't vote those who want to wean them off. Once the tipping point is reached. It will be share misery for all. Socialism works great until you run out of other people's hard earned money.

@EclipseClemens A personal friend of mine voted for Obama only because if she didn't. She wouldn't have her research job. It was Federally funded. She couldn't stand him. Still voted to save her job. In my opinion. The Fed Funds should have been stopped. We don't have the money right now. If we did. Be my guest and fund it. Her research wasn't anything life saving.

@EclipseClemens So the Canadian Healthcare system is free. You make me LOFL! The people I know who live in Canada pay into the system through taxes taken put of their pay. They all claim for you to get care you must work and contribute. Based on this. Our system is actually better for those who don't pay into the system. We take care of them. In fact we have a Federal Law that states so. Canada only takes care of those who pay into system.
draco4506 4 months ago
@EclipseClemens I had talked to one of those people from Canada. He said the care for common things was pretty good. He said if you needed a physical. You would fill out the paperwork and send it in. Someone would call you in a couple of weeks with your appointment date that would be a month later. I guess this isn't too bad. Gee, if I did it here in the US. I could get an appointment within a week. Or just go down to my local Walgreens the same day and pay $35.

@EclipseClemens Then he said if you had a more serious illness. Forget it. Many of the specialist have come to the States to be compensated more fairly for their knowledge and practice of the specialty. So the Canadian system is free. This makes me lofl yet again. Reminds me of how many view "Federal Funds" in the USA. I always ask people the following, "so what product of service does the Fed Gov produce or provide that results in a profit that they are so gracious to give to the States?".
draco4506 4 months ago
@EclipseClemens Many are hard pressed to give me the answer. It is because the answer is NONE! They steal the money through taxing the productivity of the citizens that reside in the States. Then is is called Federal money. Foe the States to get some of this back. They must use it per the dictates of the Fed Gov. If not, the Fed will withhold grants for roads in the State. Of which in many cases the money belonged to the State in the first place. Time to repeal the 16th Amendment !
draco4506 4 months ago
@EclipseClemens The taxing power must be returned to the State and Local Gov. The Fed must return to operating just off of Tariffs, excise taxes, and other indirect sources of taxation. No more taxing us directly. Oh yeah! The Fed income tax is not a direct tax......it is an indirect tax. This was the only way it would not be considered unconstitutional. The progressive did a great job at changing the terminology from direct to indirect. Up to this point, it was always considered a DIRECT tax.
draco4506 4 months ago
@EclipseClemens Remember article 1, section 9 , clause 4 states "no capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken." Through my research and understanding. If the Fed gov over spent and went into debt. It would have to tax the States based on population. Not for the fed to directly tax us. We as individuals stand no chance to fight the Feds regarding Tax issues. This issue was between the Fed and the State Gov.
draco4506 4 months ago
@EclipseClemens The State would have some leverage to fight against the Fed Gov. As for the indv. We dealt with our State and local gov. If we didn't like it. We could get up and move to another State. Now....if you do not like the Fed Gov taxation. You have to leave the country. Somehow, I don't the Founders had this in mind. Then the 17th Amendment. This must go to. I won't bore you anymore. We could always discuss the Fed Reserve Bank Act of 1913, nah too complicated. All 3 happened in 1913!

@draco4506 Go with Article 1 Section 8. We need taxes in this country. How else is government going to get revenue? The federal government has to be a role in the economy. The Fed is keeping this country afloat. It shows your ignorance when you don't want the people electing its senators.
syzygy502 4 months ago
@syzygy502 Apparently you are completely ignorant. The Federal Income Tax is a DIRECT tax on the citizens of the States in the Union. Remember that the States created The Federal Gov. It wasn't the Federal Gov that created the States. It is a well established fact that the Founders did not want the Fed Gov to tax the people directly. If the Fed need money to cover their expenses. They were to go to the State Gov for it. It was a check and balance between the Fed and State Govs.

@syzygy502 Now to answer your stupid question. I go through this same damn process with the ignorant staff members of one Senator and one Rep. Both of whom are Democrats. The other Senator, Republican Pat Toomey's office understands the Constitution as it was intended. Not what the Libs of today think of it. To them it is an ever changing document that changes everyday depending on which way the wind blows. Many Libs think the Fed can do what ever it wants to do.
draco4506 4 months ago
@syzygy502 They always say....well the Constitution doesn't say that the Fed can't do this or that. Ahem....the Constitution was written to specify what the Fed Gov can do. It lists them clearly. Also states (paraphrased) that anything above and beyond is in the hands of the States. Now to answer your question this time. The Fed can collect duties(money from tariffs), imposts, and excises. We should be bringing more in from duties.

@syzygy502 We have severe trades imbalances. We are not on a level playing field (one of many factors as to why jobs are going overseas, esp good paying manufacturing ones). Some experts estimated that if we correct these imbalances. Yes it will take having a spine. If we show strength. Countries will fall into line. Some experts estimate that the Fed would get between $300 and $500 billion of extra duties. This would go far if the Fed was only doing what she was supposed to do.
draco4506 4 months ago
@syzygy502 To cover your tax part of Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1. You need to check Clause 4 under Section 9. If you research it. The Fed is to tax the States to cover its overspending. To be done via enumeration or Census. In other words. If PA was 10% of pop of USA. PA would have to cough up 10% of the shortfall. Remember the 16th Amendment is worded exactly the opposite of Article 1, Section 9, Clause 4.
draco4506 4 months ago
@syzygy502 To further answer you. Why then did it take the USA until 1913 to impose a Fed Inc Tax? Sure the North during the Civil War imposed a Direct income tax to help fund the war. It was put in place with the understanding that it would be repealed immediately after the War. Which it was. Hmmmm......in 1898 the US Supreme Court ruled that a Direct Income tax was unconstitutional. The word Direct is the key here. The Progressives of the time were able to get the wording changed to indirect.

@syzygy502 Hence it is now Constitutional. Say hello to the solidifying of the Career politician and the fruits of the hard working person's labor stolen and changed to "Federal Funds".

Lets just go to the next level and usher in the World gov. Say hello to yet another level of taxation.

@syzygy502 Damn forgot about the UN. Some of the so called Federal Funds goes here. Prob the most corrupt gov that has ever existed. The further away the governing body that has control of the tax money. The more corrupt they become. The level of corruption is bad enough at the local level. Worse at county or city level. Even worse at State Level. Yet even worse than worse at the Fed level. At least at the local level. It is easier to march on those involved in the corruption.

@syzygy502 As far as the Fed Res. What you are witnessing is the result of their monetary policy. The Fed Reserve controls the economy to such a high degree. The average person just doesn't have any clue. I remember working in the Financial Industry. When the Fed kept lowering the rates to try and keep the economy going. I asked myself. Just how low can they go? Perhaps into negative rates? Currently Money Markets have been waiving their fees as to keep a positive rate of return to investors.

@syzygy502 We are seeing the end days of the Fed and the Int'l banking cartel in the US. They will now concentrate on building up China and India. While at the same time sucking the wealth from the US. We kept the Fed Reserve out of the States for a long time. Wilson and the Progressive movement let them in. By doing this. They have destroyed the USA financially. We have to get rid of them so we can rebuild. Tax payers actually pay interest so the Fed Gov can borrow from the Fed Reserve.

@syzygy502 What John Adams said nearing the 50th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence is so true. He said something to the effect that the true history of the Revolution has been lost. This is true with the original intent of the Constitution as well. It is barely taught in school. I had to educate my son after getting in an argument with his unionized grade school teacher.

All of the political views of today existed back in the late 1700s as well. The Constitution was a massive compromise between all of these views. Maybe it is time to rewrite a Constitution?

@syzygy502 In fact he criticized the Constitution stating that it limited what the Fed Gov could do for the people. Well duh Mr Obama. That was the reason for the Constitution. Many have forgotten that the States gave power to the Federal Gov. It was done out of necessity. States (sovereign nation in that time period) were close to trade wars. Many expected Great Britain to be back (history covering a long spectrum tells us that). A State on her own would not stand long.

@syzygy502 The Fed Gov was supposed to be somewhat weak in many matters. Strong with regards to protecting the States of the Union. Check out what has been going on in the European Union. Which in my opinion came about in many regards similar to the USA without a Revolution. However, Europe had a long History of fighting amongst themselves. If the States of the Union didn't pull together. We would have had the same history moving forward after the Revolution.
