Ironically all the false claims HIS SYCOPHANTS make

– WERE ACCOMPLISHED, BUT by Bill Clinton !!!!! not Saint Reagan !

Give millionaires and billionaires tax cuts and all of the U.S. economic problems will magically disappear, makes sense doesn't it? As long as corporate lobbyist are permitted to buy off our politicians, our economic and foreign policies will continue to be deeply flaud and corrupt.

[LibertyInProgress]

All common sense aside by this guy, it's interesting that he says the GOP's job is to "say no". As if we didn't know that already.

[dizzymasekela]

Democrats create jobs and turn deficits into surpluses. Republicans massacre jobs and turn surpluses into ginormous deficits.

America's only real enemies are Republicans.

[Viracocha711]

@dizzymasekela You are 1000% correct...The problem is the GOP has an entire Media Empire totally dedicated to spreading their lies & fear to the American People via FOX "News", WSJ, NY Post & Talk Radio among other outlets...Then the MSM tries to compete for viewers by covering conflict rather than do true journalism. Add in the SCOTUS decision to allow corporations to buy elections equals we the people are screwed! The GOP would like the USA to be a corporate controlled Theocracy!

Its hard to sell a book unless you say something outrageous .

[TresJolie7]

Republicans have NEVER been fiscally responsible! I don't know why the media doesn't call them out more often over this BULLSHIT talking point.

[jefesteel]

So he says it Republicans fault for spending too much,but for Dems it is acceptable?

Why is it OK ever?

That is a very powerful message. I hope a lot of people hear this guy out and for once, listen.

Fuck both parties, this is the same lamocrats who repealed the glass stegall act, fuck them.

Just watched another video with Warren Buffet, saying he is going to give away 3/4 of his wealth!

He then says he is giving it to the Bill Gates foundation, lol.

Something interesting on this subject?

Kinda smells like the rich boys trying to come across like they are caring and going to give too the poor!

But there is an alterial motive in which they are trying to avoid the coming tax burden!

In my opinion!

[dustinjt]

@tlfettled Mmmm... not with these two. They're pretty liberal. In fact, Buffett advocates raising taxes on the rich.

[tlfettled]

@dustinjt It just seems hard to believe WARREN BUFFET would give away 3/4 of his wealth. To the Bill Gates foundation with out there being a hugh up side for WARREN BUFFET!

[kaysandesses]

@tlfettled The problem with your opinion is that it isn't grounded in fact. Google the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to see where the billions they hand out each year is spent. Guess what, it really is going to the poor people in this country and abroad.

[tlfettled]

@kaysandesses I never said Bill Gates didn't hand out money, I said it seems hard to believe that Warren Buffet would give 3/4 of his wealth to the Bill Gates foundation with out there being a hugh up side in it for Warren Buffet.

Wouldn't you say there will be a hugh tax break for Mr. Warren Buffet ?

Maybe these trillionares do have good intentions, but with so much greed and lie's in the way things are run , it just seems hard to believe!

Lot's of investments in china i here!!!

[cmfluteguy]

This piece of shit help start the transfer of wealth from the middle class to the super rich.

What a fucking hypocrite!

[bagneck]

@cmfluteguy Right on !!!
