It's so refreshing to remember a time when the liberal brainwashing media wasn't in control and the concept of a "green hippy liberal America" would have been absolutely unthinkable. What happened?
Reagan was a great president in his time, possibly the best president possible for his time. But times have changed. More people are different. Conservative ideology is perfect only in a perfect world. Unfortunately we dont live in a perfect world. Many want to party, be gay, atheist, stoner, or emo. We have to let them, thats the point of America, people are free until they infringe on anothers freedom.
@Badam16 lol. not conservative. Neo-Liberal. look it up.
now do a little research on ron paul and find out what the difference is between unthinking dimwits who drool and just blindly follow the false left and right. and the difference between that and a True conservative.
@alvisc2002 HA your an idiot man and the reason people dont like US Ron Paul supporters(thats right..US..RP IS MY GUY)..bc people like u who come off arrogant,pushy, and ignorant..ive done more research on RP than most... believe me when i tell you..you are barkin up the wrong tree
I think its funny how many clinton and obama cock suckers write on this wall because youre scared of one of the finest men who died bringing this country back from socialism unlike clinton and obama who like socialism and tried to put it back in. so suck your big daddies cocks and shut the fuck up
@burningsusie He was making a joke mocking Lloyd Bentsen's famous phrase to Vice President Quayle in 1988 saying; "Senator, your no Jack Kennedy" Reagan was referring to Bill Clinton who at one point during that '92 campaign said he was like the new Thomas Jefferson.
Ah...the conservative god let us pray to him so he can eliminate our taxes and get rid of socialistic programs like social security,medicare and medicaid. Let's hope our one and only conservative god Roland Reagan put an end the civil rights laws and send the blacks to the back of the line and send those gays to hell. We pray in your holy name Lord God Roland Reagan AMEN
@Selfinator96 i wouldn't want obama, and i sure as hell wouldn't want ronald reagan. but even if he did run as a fresh candidate this election republicans would think he was a cook liberal wing nut like ron paul.
@NahNahNahNah030201 Ronald Reagan raised taxes five times, started an empty war on drugs, Reagan made it ok to gamble with tax payers money.Obama raised the debt ceiling and got slammed.
Reagan did it 18 times and became a republican hero. you people are hypocrites and don't assume i love obama.
@jakeencpd ive studied both the sides of Ronald Reagan and he did a hell of a lot better at reading bills and sigining off on papers that would do right for this country, he did not listen to some old hagg nancy Pelosi who said to sign the health care bill raise taxes and then she helps californian politicians by not giving them the obama care she said was ok. Now do you want a strong leader like Reagan or an infintile peice of garbage who risks lives of the American people named Obama(nation)
@jakeencpd thats the joke... Are you really that retarded. Plus Ronald Reagan was one of the absolute best presidents we have ever had. He is thousands of times smarter on his worst day, sleeping than Obama ever will be on his best day.
This is absurd he didn't know Thomas Jefferson and he stood against a lot of things Thomas Jefferson stood for ,He who knows nothing is closer to the truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors. Ronald Reagan is definitely one of those who mind was filled with falsehoods and errors... like he didn't know Thomas Jefferson
@jakeencpd of course he didn't know Jefferson you idiot. Are you really pointing this out? It is this thing called a joke. Ever heard of it? Why are you pointing this out you bonehead?
I remember watching that live.My 11 year old brain had recently read about thomas Jefferson, son I caught the joke.And yes , I actually spported Bush the Elder
Everyone, ignore 19Tomahawk94. He's a troll who has nothing better to do with his life. I am done feeding it and I recommend everyone else just doesn't feed it at all.
I'm not trolling, just disproving you with every moronic comment you make. And you have absolutely no right to say that when every time you actually dare to argue with me you prove how little you know.
It's not very difficult to grasp, the population is irrelevant. Everybody pays taxes you idiot. Illegals don't have right to healthcare. Enjoy watching Obama cruise to victory in the 2012 election over his nut job opposition.
@19Tomahawk94 Whatever troll. Go back to worshiping your massiah for as long as you can, because his ass is out of office in 2012 (I turn 18 before election day, so I get to vote his ass out).
"Whatever", umm... yeah okay, hack it that you're totally wrong and you have nothing substantial to say.
I've already said I think Obama is a mediocre president, for not being left wing and progressive enough. You're trolling of course. But he's still begun the recovery and it was the Republicans who got America into this disastrous mess.
Good thing the election isn't decided by your vote, the winner requires a majority in a Democracy.
@19Tomahawk94 You're all talk, kid. You have no facts to back up your claims. If you've worked an honest days work, you'll understand why capitalism is superior. Redistribution is unnecessary because it's your money and you have the right to do whatever you want with it.
If I make one billion dollars, why should the government tax me and redistribute the money to some bum who does nothing but smoke pot? Then I'd stop working and eventually everyone stops working. Do you understand why it fails?
Seriously, listen to yourself. All you've done is scream, moan and try to insult me without any information whatsoever. What happened to you giving up a few posts ago, you're so stupid you just can't help yourself from repeating the same moronic argument over, and over, and over. I'm obliged to respond because you actually think you're winning the argument. It's sad man, really sad, I've had to explain everything to you for it to go over your head.
I've worked "kid" alright, while you're playing your video games making dozens of videos nobody watches as your occupation.
Is it fair that somebody pushing a few buttons on wall street, or someone who just invests money in stocks, or a CEO of a business that cuts hundreds of employees or ships overseas just to boost profits for its shareholders make millions upon millions of dollars - while soldiers risking their lives every day, doctors, teachers...
hardly earn enough to make a living? It's not redistribution of wealth anyway. It's making rules and regulations on money in politics and against corporate monopolies and financial fraud on Wall Street.
The rich should be taxed their due - and at the moment they aren't because of Reagan and Bush tax cuts that haven't been done away with. Look at the disparity of wealth in America - the top 1% control around 40% of the country's wealth. That's failure.
Government needs money to pay for all its expenditures - healthcare, security, military, education and so on... and also to help get rid of the deficit.
Taxes = revenue. The highest capital gains tax is less than half of the highest wage earnings tax. The rich used to be taxed more, over 90% in the 50's (too much) but have been cut to far too low under Reagan and Bush.
You haven't done one thing to disprove me once and I've been patient with you to try and make you learn something since you're so fucking stupid and I've had to rip to pieces your mind numbingly imoronic arguments in every post.
How much information about federal taxes, revenue, expenditure and what the financial crisis is about do I have to give you.
Now if you'll actually try to bring in some facts to your side of the argument I'm all fucking ears, but you won't.
@19Tomahawk94 I've already disproven your "facts" by using real facts. Just because you can't comprehend anything outside your liberal ideology doesn't disregard it from facts. It's funny you say that I never made a valid statement, because all you did was insult my intelligence through name calling. It's typical liberal behavior, really.
All you did was complain about how guys make their wealth. Why is it your business? Why are you attacking them when it's politicians that steal money from us?
@19Tomahawk94 Also, it was Carter who made the mess and it was Reagan who cleaned the mess. Why did unemployment go down and jobs increase when Reagan was president? Over 16 million was created, in fact. Obama did the opposite of what Reagan did. Instead of create 16 million jobs, he destroyed 16 million jobs.
If we were a socialist nation, what would be the point of working and getting rich? Why should I be taxed if I make millions or billions of dollars? Isn't America supposed to be FREE?!
What facts specifically have you disproven, by using "real" facts specifically. Reading back, I see none, you just give your bland statements and insults. Again, I've referenced taxation, revenue, expenditure, history and real news. Where have you disproven me?
You're trying to bullshit your way through this and it's pathetic. Just because you're saying this on the internet doesn't mean your hiding your hideous mental defect any better.
Why do I care how people make their money? Because it's fraudulent and unfair. Aren't justice and egalitarianism striven for in our society? You think the current wealth disparity is justice? Do you give a damn about justice at all?
Why should you be taxed? I'm not even surprised anymore that you have capacity of stupidity to ask something like that anymore.
I've started insulting you because I've lost patience and you've been trying unsuccessfully to insult me. We've been over Carter and Reagan already, and the employment. Go back and read, I'm not going to loop on that again. I've recently written an essay about Jimmy Carter, I can email it to you full with references if you want more info.
@19Tomahawk94 Wrong, wrong, wrong! Just admit you're jealous of people making more than you by working smarter than you. Life isn't fair, but this isn't heaven where everything is perfect. Anyone can make whatever they want as long as it's not stealing because it's a free country and they earned it. However, we have politicians like Harry Reid stealing money from people and do you mention him?
Oh yeah, if you want to blame a company for not paying taxes, then go occupy GE. You libs are too much
@19Tomahawk94 It amazes me that you guys never occupy GE when they pay 0% taxes. Government shouldn't pick winners and losers in business. That is what screws up our economy. The reason why GE pays 0% taxes is because the CEO funds the Obama administration.
I don't know if you know this or not, but the rich pay most of our taxes in the U.S. So I don't know why you hate them when it's them that pays most of the taxes. Fair share? Oh, you just sound like a typical socialist now.
I don't support Government giving unfair tax exemptions to any businesses, there we agree. GE apparently spends more money on lobbying than any other business, so there's no mystery there. The Republicans in congress would be just as much to blame.
There needs to be strict laws against money in politics - donations that get puppet politicians elected and lobbying. Many true liberals call for this.
The top capital gains tax is at 15% for people like Mitt Romney and other billion airs making money off investments and business, whereas the top tax rate for wage earning Americans is 35% (not 98% btw).
That's just not a fair tax rate and it hurts the country, I don't hate rich people, but they should be paying their share right, if not more. They'll still be rich, just less excessively so, and for the good of country.
hence under bill clinton/al gore/newt gingrich, we saw the greatest peace time prosperity we ever had with a 265 bill dollar surplus, minus the recession of 2001. same goes for reagan though he had nothing but deficits thanks largely to his weapons spending. he wasn't great, and he raised taxes almost as much as obama, but better than most today.
It's people like 19Tomahawk94 that are destroying America. Socialism fails my friend. They are failing because THE GOVERNMENT TAXES 98% OF YOUR INCOME. THAT MEANS YOU ARE MAKING AS MUCH MONEY AS THE MAN NEXT-DOOR TO YOU DOING NOTHING BUT SMOKE POT. SO WHY WORK? EVENTUALLY, THERE ARE NO BUSINESSES MAKING MONEY, THERE IS NOBODY TO TAX. WHEN THE GOVERNMENT HAS NO MONEY TO GIVE HANDOUTS TO, PEOPLE RIOT! THAT IS WHY GREECE IS BURNING TO THE GROUND RIGHT NOW YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT! YOU FUCKING IDIOT
Okay, time to stop trying man. Go look up tax rates and then come back. Nobody in the country is taxed anything over 35%. And that's not rich people either, who are taxed around 15%, because of Republican policy. "Reaganomics" or "trickle down" economics they call it.
You obviously don't know what Socialism is, don't understand the European debt crisis and probably don't understand anything political beyond what Alex Jones tells you.
@19Tomahawk94 I get my economic advice from my dad who owned several businesses (one of them grossing over a million dollars). So unlike you, I get my advice from people who actually have reliable credentials. Where do you get your sources from, dickhead?
Hahahaha, daddy said government taxes 98% did he? Did daddy's economic advice tell you it's a good idea to play video games your whole life?
Statistics are available online and released by the news media all the time. Have a look.
These things are monitored by professionals, but of course you might not believe them, because if they don't say what daddy or Alex Jones does, they're "George Soros's cronies".
Hahaha... Just insulted your own intelligence. That's nice. I agree you're not very knowledgeable at all. You aren't even willing to admit that you're wrong and actually try to learn something either, so your pretty hopeless.
The attempt at Conservatism has always existed throughout history, from Ancient Rome, to feudalism in Medieval Europe, to right-wing psycho conservative Christians today - the world will always progress.
@19Tomahawk94 Whatever, dumbass. I know the truth. Socialism fucks up countries. Capitalism works. Socialism doesn't. History repeats that. Capitalism is why America is the best country in the world.
You just don't give up no matter how many times you show how ridiculously stupid you are. You obviously don't know history at all, while I've studied mountains of it. Countries don't fail because of Socialism, successful countries today that apply it in parts are better off.
But oh okay rofl "I know the truth, I listen to Alex Jones and what my dad tells me, like how government taxes 98%", you're a JOKE. Your parents should be ashamed of your stupidity.
@19Tomahawk94 If I'm soo stupid, then would you be able to create even half as much Java OOP applets as I have? No. You're the idiot, assclown. Give me the name of one country that is successful under socialism. The countries you named doesn't even have 1/10 the population of our country. In a large country like ours, socialism doesn't work.
So obviously, you're the one who didn't study economics and history. I love how you liberals think you're soo smart, but yet, you have no facts to back up!
It doesn't matter what the population is, everyone pays taxes, and if everyone pays their fair share, universal healthcare and education by the state is totally feasible. What facts did you use? I'm using successful examples of partly Socialist countries - look at Canada, Switzerland and Sweden and so on, all universal healthcare.
Point to note, Java OOP applets have nothing to do with politics, history or economics.
@19Tomahawk94 You sound like a jerkoff. You have no clue what you are talking about. Population does matter because it's different if the government has to pay for 10 million people in comparison to having to pay for 300 million people. Also, illegals get the same rights here in America and pay 0% taxes.
You have no fucking clue what you are talking about. If you aren't American, then you are best sticking to whatever political system you have in your country since you know nothing about us!
@gamefreak1000000 You do realise Reagan's economic policy of bank deregulation destroyed not only America's economy but the world's? His deregulation of the banks allowed banks like Goldman Sachs etc to recklessly spend and gamble to the point where the entire Wall St. economy collapsed back in 2008 starting a chain reaction of bankruptcy that reached across the world. Sure, we all had a ball for a couple decades but look at us all now? World economy is fucked thanks to this clown.
@JaayyB Another clueless liberal? I'm not even going to bother arguing the facts with you since the same cycle is just going to loop. I'm just going to say liberalism is a mental disorder and move on.
@gamefreak1000000 Haha you're not going to argue? Yeah, cause you know you're wrong. Don't give me the ridiculous "Uh you're too stupid for me to waste my time on you" excuse. That's a sign that you have weak arguments and are unable to provide a good comeback. Come on, if you believe so much in this man, argue for him, or get the fuck off this video. Give me your point of view and we'll leave it at that. I'm interested.
Face it bub, Socialism fails. The reason why the U.S. is dying is because of the socialism that you anti-Americans have put down our throats, and the money that politicians like Barney Frank are stealing from us. Oh yeah, did I mention that GE (one of the richest companies in the U.S) pays 0% of our taxes because he funds Barack Obama? Yeah, go Occupy GE and leave Wallstreet out of it.
Face it, Socialism kills countries. History proves it. Greece, Italy, and Spain are failing because of it.
Greece, Italy, Spain and Ireland are not failing because of Socialism. They are failing because of excessive loans they've made to boost their development, but can't pay it back. That's called a deficit. Seriously man, go read the news.
And don't kid yourself, you know exactly how Alex Jones is. "New World Order" by George Soros diatribe comes only from Alex Jones psychotic "info warriors".
Socialism works for other European countries, look it up.
Lack of taxes on the rich and large corporations is a problem of corruption, not social ideology.
If it weren't for the parts of Socialism already implemented America would be a lot worse off. You had Reagan and Bush privatizing everything. Look how that's worked out long term. America is in the shit because companies ship themselves overseas and cut workers whenever they feel like it for profit.
@19Tomahawk94 I cannot believe someone as stupid as you can even use a computer. Listen, if you ever decide to wake up in the real world, then let me know. I understand you're "high as a kite", but once the marijuana leaves your system, then we can have an intelligent debate.
Seriously, just re-read everything you have said in your previous comments. George Soros HIMSELF said that he wanted to create a new world order. As I have said, look it up here on youtube. It's him saying it in his words.
I'm not into conspiracy theories. Because someone mentions the words "new world order" which has been used in many different contexts doesn't mean I'm going to piss myself in fear of the Illuminati taking over the world.
I see nothing wrong with what I said, just responding to your moronic comments. Again, this isn't a football match, this is a discussion I hope, but you're not willing to learn anything. You're comfortable in your trench of failure.
@19Tomahawk94 Actually, socialism is the reason why the economy is so bad right now. Why do you think Greece went bankrupt? Why do you think there are so many riots in Greece? Because of socialism. That will happen to America if socialism is fully applied. The parts of socialism you're talking about are the entitlements that take up almost 2/3 of the national budget and is the reason for the 1.3 billion dollar deficit each year.
You people's prejudicial attitudes to this are just sickening. Were you actually told that by someone or did you just make it up? Greece didn't borrow billions of dollars from other European banks to support Socialism and all the fun involved. It borrowed money to develop itself to modernization. Now they can't pay it back - and are introducing austerity measures to avoid defaulting payments - that is why there are riots.
Please, don't make me repeat myself again. And the 1.3 billion dollar deficit each year, do you want to know what causes that?
Look at the enormous expenditure on foreign wars, military bases all over the planet, wasteful spending, and the huge amount of prisons.
Socialist countries in Europe say like Switzerland do perfectly fine - they have freedom, free healthcare and access to public education, what pays for it? Modest taxation.
@19Tomahawk94 So now you've resorted to insulting me. In the future i suggest that you use actual statistics, not just what you think. the "enormous expenditure on foreign wars"(which i assume you're referring to the OCA) takes up about 4% of national spending. In fact, all government spending takes up a little over 1/3 of the entire budget. That means nearly 2/3 of it goes to entitlements.(by the way, i meant to say 1.3 trillion, not billion)
Military spending including OCA is at around 700 billion dollars yearly, 20% of the budget. That's close to more than the rest of the world's military spending combined. If you add up all Defense spending included in the Department on Energy, interest on debt for the past wars and other areas its between $1-1.4 trillion. The government has a revenue of 2.3 trillion yearly. Just to put it in perspective for you.
And yes, I accidentally typed billion instead of trillion after you did, I wasn't trying to go along with being misleading.
There could be spending cuts just about everywhere until the debt is eventually eliminated by a president who is appropriately determined to do so (would also require higher taxes, preferably on the rich). But it's often the Republicans who demand that there be little or no cuts to Defense, instead eating away at Healthcare, Education and so on.
Wow. "I knew Thomas Jefferson." He's running for a president and he's joking? About 300,000,000 people are strongly affected by the choices the president makes and need to clearly understand what is the intention of a presidential candidate before voting for him and this guy jokes during a debate?
He was The Man! Always will be. We need someone with his character and principles to save us from this cesspool Obama and the Democrats have put us in. We just don't have one in this batch and that fact makes me very concerned about the future of our country.
Cute but in the end even reagan couldnt change the fact that his VP had wrecked the economy and that reagan's spending and trickle down economics had ruined the nation.
"OMG REAGAN WAS SO GREAT HE WAS THE BEST... YEAHHHH..."
Except that his "Reaganomics" destroyed the middle class and the power of working Americans. He increased the national debt nearly 200%, armed the Iranians and future Taliban + Al Qaeda and increased taxes 11 times on middle and lower class whilst lowering them dramatically for the rich. Fuck Reagan.
"BUT HE LOOKS GOOD ON TV AND MAKES ME FEEL PATRIOTIC, I LOVE ELECTING ACTORS THAT JOKE AND MAKE ME FEEL PATRIOTIC."
@19Tomahawk94 Oh SHUT UP! The national debt has been raised $6.3 trillion alone during Obama's Presidency, which is more than all previous Presidents combined.
Try to act like the civilized, sensible human being you aren't.
Alas, still far less a percentage increase in his presidency than Reagan's.
It's a little depressing how all you Republicans seem to think the US was fine... and then Obama got elected. No, you realize Obama picked up what George W left him, a financial crisis that needed bailing out, 2 wars and an enormous Defence budget which is starting to wind down - you can't cut it all at once.
@19Tomahawk94 ARE U SERIOUS? The U.S. national debt has increased by more than $6 trillion SINCE Obama took office in January 2009. Research before spewing nonsense. Between 1980 and 1989 (Reagan's 2 terms), the national deficit had increased by $146 billion. By November of this year, the national deficit will have increased by $4 trillion since the end of 2008. And yes, I looked this up.
Nothing I have said is false. Please enlighten me on what "nonsense" I'm "spewing". You don't even seem to know =S.
You just contradicted yourself, is it 4 trillion or 6 trillion. It's 4 trillion by the way. Geez don't get too excited trying to exaggerate. The percentage increases is an important factor, the president doesn't just blow out spending all of a sudden like Reagan did. There was no way to stop the current debt spiral without a complete economic collapse.
A complete economic collapse was needed to stop the current debt spiral, are you on drugs? Anyone with a brain knows that the CAUSE for a skyrocket in the national debt is due to lack of jobs and careless government spending. You have no idea what you're talking about if you agree with the President that taxes need to be raised to solve the debt crisis.
Apparently you don't watch the news, or bother to research. The debt spiral started under Reagan - and was a result of tax cuts on the rich and fighting foreign wars. Call that careless government spending if you will, but Obama can't cut it all at once as I said, but it is winding down.
Taxes = revenue for the government to spend, go back to school.
@19Tomahawk94 Revenue for the government to spend on programs that aren't currently active you mean. You seem to forget that tax cuts on the rich helped to create over 20 million jobs under the Reagan Administration. My parents could not have afforded to move to a slightly nicer home in the 80's had it not been for those tax cuts. Had Carter still been President in 1981, they would have needed to downgrade to an apartment.
Well man... that's rough what can I say. I live in an apartment. No guilt at all that the tax cuts your family received had to be in part made up for by lower class Americans?
20 million jobs were created in 8 years, that's a phoney stat. One, they weren't industry jobs - they were petty jobs at corporations that could be shipped overseas in a day. Two, they don't take into account the millions of industry jobs that were lost under Reagan.
@19Tomahawk94 Yeah because 20 million jobs created under Reagan is so much worse than only 2 million jobs created under Obama while more than 11% of Americans were still unemployed, right?
Apparently you missed the financial crisis at the end of Bush's second term. Millions of jobs were always going to be lost after that regardless whether the president was Republican or Democrat. Why are you ignoring the obvious or are you really that ignorant?
The millions of jobs lost in industry because of Reagan were pretty damaging to the strength of the American economy, now that Obama has bailed out the American car companies they're employing more again.
@19Tomahawk94 See folks, this is why socialists are a joke. Still blaming Bush when Obama has been in office for around 4 years now. You dems are a joke. Wake up America and vote the socialist out of this country. Capitalism is what runs America. Socialism is what destroys America.
Don't embarrass yourself by speaking, just go back to playing video games. Bush left Obama a disastrous situation, and the recovery has begun as stated - it takes time, not 5 minutes as in your games.
Since you give no information or statistics or something to prove your "Socialism is what destroys America" I'm just going to sit on the fence on that one.
Would you prefer America didn't have Medicare, economic subsidies, public schools and public transport?
@19Tomahawk94 Yes, yes I would. I would prefer government to stay out of school and business. This is why I fucking hate school. Instead of choosing my classes, I have to have a bunch of bureaucrats choose for me. I want to learn what I want to learn, not what the government wants me to take. It's a one size fits all and that is why I hate socialism because I am different from the losers that put them in power.
Stop blaming Bush for everything. Obama was the one who got us in 14 trillion debt!
Apparently the irony was lost on you. If it wasn't for government you wouldn't have school that you could attend. Everything would be private, different and mostly unaffordable. Nobody chooses what subjects you learn, I don't know what you're talking about. If you don't meet prerequisites then it's your fault.
Government is involved in only around 1% of American business.
The deficit has risen by $4 trillion under Obama, not 14.
@19Tomahawk94 Not true. The government decides what a prerequisite is, not you. So how is it my fault, jerkoff? Also, the deficit was risen to 14 trillion dollars. Don't try twisting the truth. You know just as well as I that your leader George Soros is creating a new world order. You cannot keep it quiet forever. However, you are wrong in all accounts. Government is only supposed to be involved in the law and that is it. They have no business in schools or businesses. You're deluded, kid.
That's your own failure if you don't meet the prerequisites which, if you don't, you're not cut out for the class anyway.
The deficit has risen to 14 trillion, 4 trillion of which has happened under Obama - ditto financial crisis and wars. You can't blame Obama for all of it.
And you've just revealed that you're an avid Alex Jones listener. You obviously have no ability for independent thought, just blaming some "New World Order" for your own failures.
@19Tomahawk94 Really genius? Despite my 6 months of individual training for web designing, I'm not qualified until I take a social rights class? See, I know more than the government about software. I don't need them to tell me what I need to do. I control my own life and they need to stay out of schools and businesses.
I have no failures you fucking idiot nor do I know who this "Alex Jones" guy is. However, I'm pretty sure the guy isn't bad since a socialist like you hates him.
If you feel you have the experience to meet the prerequisites, what's stopping you? If you blame bureaucrats because you're too lazy to get out and do the courses that you need to get the qualifications you're an idiot. All the doors are open for you.
If government doesn't subsidize some American business, they won't flourish and employ as well as they could because of foreign competition who subsidize also.
If government doesn't involve itself in education, there would be no public school system. Just privatized organizations that run education like its a business. The same goes for health care.
What domestic policies worked for people in the 1700s doesn't work today.
@19Tomahawk94 Good. That means REAL teachers can teach and REAL businessmen can run business. That is what you call a free market and that is how capitalism is supposed to work. Changing any of that would create socialism. What you could do to reduce population is have border control remove all illegal aliens in the USA since they don't help pay for taxes. Then you can have the government stay out of businesses and schools and have them run individually. That is how a free market works, moron.
School isn't supposed to be run like a business for profit. If that were the case at the very least tens of millions of Americans would be severely disadvantaged without any education outside their own homes, and many tens of millions more disadvantaged.
You hate school because you're a lazy, video game obsessed, no life loser. Stop blaming the government for your own deficiencies.
The debt spiral is obviously too complicated for your brain to grasp so I'll have to explain it.
The bail outs to save the economy under Obama cost a lot of money, obviously, and along with the necessary continuations of what Bush left him, that spiral couldn't be stopped in the midst of 2 wars and a financial crisis.
You notice the recovery is beginning to start with the 2 million new jobs as the worst of this crisis is over for now. That I actually have to tell you this is an indication that you shouldn't be arguing over what you know nothing about.
@19Tomahawk94 Here goes another Liberal, Talking about something he knows nothing about. He pulled our country out of the gutter within a month, Armed to us to be the greatest military in the world.
Hi, here's another mindless conservative, talking about something he knows nothing about. At least my opinion is backed by facts.
America already had the greatest military in the world under Carter.
The only positive thing from Reagan's presidency is that oil and energy prices went down. That took a couple of years, whether it was because he started buying foreign oil en-mass to appease oil companies or it was simple timing beyond his control is up for debate.
@19Tomahawk94 Idiotic Liberal that's never going to learn LIFE. Our military was in the gutter when Carter was in office, So was our economy. That's a fact. Now please stop trying to make up stupid arguments and false fact's, And go worship Dear Leader Obama.
Well what an intelligent response. Give up trying to debate the issue, that's okay, I'm well satisfied.
The economy and employment levels were actually alright under Carter. Energy prices and lines outside gas stations were the big big issues for the consumerist American public.
Now please, go learn grammar and stop trying to make up stupid arguments... without any facts at all, you can call mine false but all it takes is a google search to verify.
@19Tomahawk94 Lol, Please GTFO the internet. You try to make a point but make NO solid point. Please tell me when the economy and employment levels were good under Carter? Rofl, Our country was nearing another great depression as we currently are with Obama, and guess what, Obama is doing the same thing as Carter but worse. He put us 6 Trillion in debt, in just a little less than 1 term.
My point is that Reagan was a shit president and Carter was a good president. Obama is mediocre but certainly better than his nut job Republican opposition.
There was nothing like a depression back then, no mortgage or debt crisis. So that argument falls on its face. The problem was energy and oil prices, get that through your head. Employment increased with the initiatives for American, rather than foreign energy.
There's the $6 trillion number again. You're so funny.
@19Tomahawk94 You live in a fantasy world man. You can't accept the fact that Socialism does not work, especially in America. Saying that Jimmy Carter is a good president is like saying murder is good. Reagen was a 10000x better President than Carter and completely fixed the mess that Carter created. But, You weren't even alive then so i know you wouldn't understand, Child.
You're not proving a damn thing, just making bland statements that subscribe to your Republican and Reagan worship. Try to think for yourself and actually have an informed opinion about political issues - it's important in this day and age.
@19Tomahawk94 And you're proving something? I gave my point, presented facts. You on the other hand act like a little kid and prove nothing. Stop trying to make an argument when you are a dumbass.
... I'm sorry, I have no more time for morons. You can call your insults and slandering "facts" if it helps you sleep at night while you're having wet dreams about Ronald Reagan and nightmares about the black president.
I've given you facts that you can look up, but of course there's no point trying to get through to you. You view this as some right vs left argument where you have to bash your side like it's a football game, so no, you're not going to learn anything. Goodbye.
@19Tomahawk94 I have nothing to learn from you. You're an idiot. See, You cannot give me facts to back yourself up because you know you are wrong. The idiotic scum like you is what got the current retard in office elected.
You know you can't actually say I'm wrong when you did zilch to disprove me by hurling insults and simply saying "Reagan was 1000x better than Carter", "Saying Carter is a good president is like saying murder is good". Debates don't work that way sorry. I love how angry you're getting about this by the way too.
Okay, so basically you're one of those people who have no life sit on youtube all day and start arguments. Out of all the fuck ups for presidents we've had...i'd say Reagan did pretty well.
@19Tomahawk94 Haha, my idiotic perception. It's actually my opinion. I gave no thought other than the Obama factual assertions. Prove your ignorance some more. Opinions are like you...an asshole.
Your opinion/perception which is idiotic. Your "factual assertions" if you mean the debt problem is totally out of context. I've already been through this once, read the earlier comments if you feel like it.
Just because I'm better than you and not afraid to say it once you've made complete asses of yourselves doesn't make me an asshole... sorry, it's just the truth.
@19Tomahawk94 ROFL!!!!!!!! You're such a fucking tool its unreal. You're better than me? That is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard. You live in your own little world my friend. I can't wait til the day someone punches you right in the mouth to set you straight.
Yeah, well I'm not gonna bother pumping my fist online on how much tougher I think I am. Since we only going by text on youtube I'm just saying... you're an idiot.
Ronald Reagan brought people together. He was a centrist, and he had a great personality. Why do today's neocons insist on dropping his name all the time? They have nothing in common.
@garrywarne1 Not in the wacko Tea Party sense of the word. He built broad coalitions with voters by taking strong stances on issues that mattered to everyone. That's how he got elected twice. He respected people who disagreed with him. He was nowhere near as far right as today's Republicans, who are basically all-or-nothing fundamentalists. They hang on his coattails, but I swear they know nothing about the guy, or how he was able to accomplish so much.
I'll bet people miss voting for a man like this. Felt good voting for a man that loved his country. Someone who actually honored the oath they made to PRESERVE and DEFEND the constitution, not try to dismantle and complain on Tv that it gets in the way of you ushering in the "change you want".
The scary thing is he was completly serious..lol

@gamefreak1000000
hardly earn enough to make a living? It's not redistribution of wealth anyway. It's making rules and regulations on money in politics and against corporate monopolies and financial fraud on Wall Street.
The rich should be taxed their due - and at the moment they aren't because of Reagan and Bush tax cuts that haven't been done away with. Look at the disparity of wealth in America - the top 1% control around 40% of the country's wealth. That's failure.

@dinosmashify
Why do you think?
Government needs money to pay for all its expenditures - healthcare, security, military, education and so on... and also to help get rid of the deficit.
Taxes = revenue. The highest capital gains tax is less than half of the highest wage earnings tax. The rich used to be taxed more, over 90% in the 50's (too much) but have been cut to far too low under Reagan and Bush.

@19Tomahawk94 It amazes me that you guys never occupy GE when they pay 0% taxes. Government shouldn't pick winners and losers in business. That is what screws up our economy. The reason why GE pays 0% taxes is because the CEO funds the Obama administration.
I don't know if you know this or not, but the rich pay most of our taxes in the U.S. So I don't know why you hate them when it's them that pays most of the taxes. Fair share? Oh, you just sound like a typical socialist now.

The parts of socialism you're talking about are the entitlements that take up almost 2/3 of the national budget and is the reason for the 1.3 billion dollar deficit each year.

You people's prejudicial attitudes to this are just sickening. Were you actually told that by someone or did you just make it up? Greece didn't borrow billions of dollars from other European banks to support Socialism and all the fun involved. It borrowed money to develop itself to modernization. Now they can't pay it back - and are introducing austerity measures to avoid defaulting payments - that is why there are riots.

Please, don't make me repeat myself again. And the 1.3 billion dollar deficit each year, do you want to know what causes that?
Look at the enormous expenditure on foreign wars, military bases all over the planet, wasteful spending, and the huge amount of prisons.
Socialist countries in Europe say like Switzerland do perfectly fine - they have freedom, free healthcare and access to public education, what pays for it? Modest taxation.
19Tomahawk94 2 weeks ago
@19Tomahawk94 So now you've resorted to insulting me. In the future i suggest that you use actual statistics, not just what you think. the "enormous expenditure on foreign wars"(which i assume you're referring to the OCA) takes up about 4% of national spending. In fact, all government spending takes up a little over 1/3 of the entire budget. That means nearly 2/3 of it goes to entitlements.(by the way, i meant to say 1.3 trillion, not billion)
dinosmashify 1 week ago
@dinosmashify
I don't know what insults you're talking about.
Military spending including OCA is at around 700 billion dollars yearly, 20% of the budget. That's close to more than the rest of the world's military spending combined. If you add up all Defense spending included in the Department on Energy, interest on debt for the past wars and other areas its between $1-1.4 trillion. The government has a revenue of 2.3 trillion yearly. Just to put it in perspective for you.

@dinosmashify
And yes, I accidentally typed billion instead of trillion after you did, I wasn't trying to go along with being misleading.
There could be spending cuts just about everywhere until the debt is eventually eliminated by a president who is appropriately determined to do so (would also require higher taxes, preferably on the rich). But it's often the Republicans who demand that there be little or no cuts to Defense, instead eating away at Healthcare, Education and so on.

Alas, still far less a percentage increase in his presidency than Reagan's.
It's a little depressing how all you Republicans seem to think the US was fine... and then Obama got elected. No, you realize Obama picked up what George W left him, a financial crisis that needed bailing out, 2 wars and an enormous Defence budget which is starting to wind down - you can't cut it all at once.
19Tomahawk94 2 weeks ago
@19Tomahawk94 ARE U SERIOUS? The U.S. national debt has increased by more than $6 trillion SINCE Obama took office in January 2009. Research before spewing nonsense. Between 1980 and 1989 (Reagan's 2 terms), the national deficit had increased by $146 billion. By November of this year, the national deficit will have increased by $4 trillion since the end of 2008. And yes, I looked this up.

Nothing I have said is false. Please enlighten me on what "nonsense" I'm "spewing". You don't even seem to know =S.
You just contradicted yourself, is it 4 trillion or 6 trillion. It's 4 trillion by the way. Geez don't get too excited trying to exaggerate. The percentage increases is an important factor, the president doesn't just blow out spending all of a sudden like Reagan did. There was no way to stop the current debt spiral without a complete economic collapse.
19Tomahawk94 2 weeks ago
A complete economic collapse was needed to stop the current debt spiral, are you on drugs? Anyone with a brain knows that the CAUSE for a skyrocket in the national debt is due to lack of jobs and careless government spending. You have no idea what you're talking about if you agree with the President that taxes need to be raised to solve the debt crisis.
Rawk4Life 2 weeks ago
@Rawk4Life
Apparently you don't watch the news, or bother to research. The debt spiral started under Reagan - and was a result of tax cuts on the rich and fighting foreign wars. Call that careless government spending if you will, but Obama can't cut it all at once as I said, but it is winding down.
Taxes = revenue for the government to spend, go back to school.
19Tomahawk94 2 weeks ago
@19Tomahawk94 Revenue for the government to spend on programs that aren't currently active you mean. You seem to forget that tax cuts on the rich helped to create over 20 million jobs under the Reagan Administration. My parents could not have afforded to move to a slightly nicer home in the 80's had it not been for those tax cuts. Had Carter still been President in 1981, they would have needed to downgrade to an apartment.

Well man... that's rough what can I say. I live in an apartment. No guilt at all that the tax cuts your family received had to be in part made up for by lower class Americans?
20 million jobs were created in 8 years, that's a phoney stat. One, they weren't industry jobs - they were petty jobs at corporations that could be shipped overseas in a day. Two, they don't take into account the millions of industry jobs that were lost under Reagan.

If government doesn't subsidize some American business, they won't flourish and employ as well as they could because of foreign competition who subsidize also.
If government doesn't involve itself in education, there would be no public school system. Just privatized organizations that run education like its a business. The same goes for health care.

@19Tomahawk94 Good. That means REAL teachers can teach and REAL businessmen can run business. That is what you call a free market and that is how capitalism is supposed to work. Changing any of that would create socialism. What you could do to reduce population is have border control remove all illegal aliens in the USA since they don't help pay for taxes. Then you can have the government stay out of businesses and schools and have them run individually. That is how a free market works, moron.

Hi, here's another mindless conservative, talking about something he knows nothing about. At least my opinion is backed by facts.
America already had the greatest military in the world under Carter.
The only positive thing from Reagan's presidency is that oil and energy prices went down. That took a couple of years, whether it was because he started buying foreign oil en-mass to appease oil companies or it was simple timing beyond his control is up for debate.

My point is that Reagan was a shit president and Carter was a good president. Obama is mediocre but certainly better than his nut job Republican opposition.
There was nothing like a depression back then, no mortgage or debt crisis. So that argument falls on its face. The problem was energy and oil prices, get that through your head. Employment increased with the initiatives for American, rather than foreign energy.
