  • I don't like Obama but don't try and BS me.

    I've had RomneyCare since 2006, don't try to tell me it's Obamas gig.

    And incase you can't read, the W.H.O. ranks the U.S. healthcare system at #37, under countries such as San Marino, Andorra, Malta, Singapore, Spain, Oman, Japan, Monaco, Greece, Iceland, the U.K., Ireland, Colombia, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Israel, Canada, Chile, Dominica, and Costa Rica.. so no, I don't think people are coming here for health care. Only a fool would.

  • Obama care has one thing that is good in it. The fact that shitty insurance companies wont be able to drop you for no reason,  and cant deny you coverage based on preexisting conditions.

  • I'd LOVE to see Zo debate Obama with a nation-wide audience. It's about time we take our country back.

  • It's everywhere. Right vs. Left. Arguments that never end causing both sides to become blinded to the fact that both sides are wrong. Each is too caught up in their dogmatic political beliefs and their "let's blame the other side for everything that has gone wrong," mentality to see it. If petty bickering like this is how things get addressed in the white house then we are all doomed....

  • @politicalstudio - WRONG! You're so indoctrinated you can't even be correct on accident. Here's an example:

    "our own country was saved from the capitalist created Great Depression by government job creation"

    GAWD you're fucking stupid!

    The Federal Reserve created the Great Depression!

    The Federal Reserve was created by the government.

    Central Banking is fully supported by Marx.

    The Great Depression didn't end until FDR was dead and his "brain trust" dissolved.

    Recovery didn't occur until 1947.

  • @politicalstudio I've got news for you. I don't watch fox news, ever. I don't care for it. It's too biased from time to time. And that's also why I just plain dead don't watch anything more than local news, which I honestly don't watch much either. I prefer learning things myself. I find it interesting, understandably so, when if a person has a political point that doesn't agree with someone else's, the other person automatically assumes that you've been watching fox news lol.

  • @politicalstudio Perhaps you didn't hear him?

  • I've got a whole roll of Obama money in my bathroom, I use it to wipe my butt with. That my friends is what the American dollar is worth right now. Thanks be to...? Your wonderful President. Hope and Change is great ain't it!!!???

  • Well said Zo!!!

  • cool story bro

  • Your Cash ain't nothing but trash...I ain't no Chicken and I don't need your Feed..

  • finally someone who gets it

  • I'm Black ... HOW DO I CHANGE MY PARTY TO INDEPENDENT?

  • @DRUNKENRAMBLE Not too late! You can get the paper work at a post office and change it

  • PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT!

  • @politicalstudio If the private sector is demolished, then who will pay for the healthcare of everyone? The government has to get tax money to pay for these programs and those taxes come from capitalists and from those who are employees of capitalists.

  • @politicalstudio I believe in freedom from government controlling what medical care I have. I don't support the freedom from government to decide if I want to murder someone. That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Thanks a lot for telling me I can go murder someone without the government getting into it.

  • @richard4president

    "I believe in freedom from government controlling what medical care I have."

    - that would be nice, but if they just gave you money for healthcare...THEN YOU WOULDNT FUCKING SPEND IT ON HEALTHCARE. Humans are stupid and wont plan ahead.

    - the healthcare system that Obama is trying to implement sounds very similar to the one currently inplace in Australia now. Our healthcare system isnt fantastic, but it's still better than yours right now :)

  • @types10000 ..... the government shouldn't be just giving me the money either.... the government shouldn't give me money and the government shouldn't require that i buy health care.... this is America, not Aussie. Go shove socialism up your drawers.

  • @richard4president socialism? it's almost embarrassing to listen you yanks talking about economic systems you don't even understand...

  • @politicalstudio Explain how you can want socialized medicine with which medicine and medical care costs rise and supplies and medicine are rationed. Explain how you can support federal funding for abortion which has been the death of 50 million innocent lives since 1973, in America alone?

  • @politicalstudio Explain the country that was socialist or communist that had socialized medicine and worked. Go ahead, do it.

  • @FirstNewPker

    "Explain the country that was socialist or communist that had socialized medicine and worked. Go ahead, do it."

    - AUSTRALIA!

  • @types10000 Australia is Federal Parliamentary Democracy.

  • America has the 38th ranked healthcare system while it remains the most expensive in the world.

  • @politicalstudio I don't know how you can say that and then live with yourself.

  • O MY GOD!!!!! I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!

  • I really respect how you are so open about your political opinions. I used to be a liberal as well, but then I got to college and (oddly) became more conservative. I like to think it's because I started doing my own homework.

  • 22 seconds

  • your a legend

  • 1:14 - AWESOME!  Dude I love your videos!

  • i'm english + we've have had free health care 1948 and people still have private healthcare here because it's actully better. the reason we have the NHS is for the people who cant afford it because they still deserve to be treated when there sick, dont they? thats just my opinion

  • And you go around saying that reps don't want your vote because they don't power? C'mon bitch, GTFO of here with that bullshit

  • This guy has no eye brows...

  • check out rant shellin snails!!!

    Says it all really.......

  • check out rant shellin snails!!!

  • Ur fuckin awsome

  • ive made every dime ive ever made in my 22 yr career as an engineer in the capalist system and yet ive never even once been given a job by a poor person, and every job ive ever held had supplied me with health insurance so why would i want a change? shouldnt we protect the rich so they will continue to supply jobs???

  • A-fucking-men

  • @crystalmethod1000 Executives and higher-ups working for/in charity's can earn wages in the hundreds of thousands salary bracket, but that doesn't mean a charity's run for profit. People have got to get paid & they are being paid out of the public pocket. Not through the inflated pricing of essential drugs to fill the pockets of shareholders. If anything, the article shows how it's possible to have a industry not run for profit, yet still be in the position to give huge wages to the right people

  • @crystalmethod1000

    45,000 Americans die every year because they do not have health care.

    So for every 2 British people that die because of the flaws in a socialized health care system, 45000 die because of the flaws in privatized health care system.

  • You're a brilliant man. this was a brilliantly made video.

  • Socialized medicine FTW. I love living in a country where the doctor/paramedic checks my heart instead of my wallet.

  • This was a perfect summary. Thank you.

  • republicans are evil

  • @BRm2008 Politicians in general are evil.

  • turning your back on obama. should be ashamed of yourself.

  • fukc the rich. they can afford it they fleece ppeople all the time.

  • retard

    

  • lmao you rock

  • You people are idiots Obama is intentionally destroying our economy. its all over/just wait until the dollar crashes. Thats right paper money will be good as toilet paper probably next year watch.

  • @oldgateway idk if its intentional but its definitly bad and obama is evil

  • @oldgateway dollars are made from cloth not paper

  • good points made here....

  • THANK YOU. For once, I see someone on youtube with some knowledge. Respect

  • the economy didnt get bad for me until obama was president just saying.

  • YOU ARE AMAZING. End of story.

  • Just had to leave a coment. I am prowd to say I have no political party. Why you may ask. Becaus no politition is truly for the people. They may be while runing but when the corperations staret handing out money the people get put on the back burner. The corprat bailout! that did not help the econamey we still have the debt that keeps us from buying the product so the corperations will wind up in the same boat again. bail the people out not that would help.

  • outstanding! 

  • high five!

  • You want to know why socialized healthcare is awesome?

    America is 37th in the world in health care. THIRTY SEVENTH.

    Those 36 above it? Every single one is socialist health care. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

    Think about that.

    If Capitialist healthcare is so, so, so good, why is it 37th in the world?

  • @bobmuffins That same study was harshly criticized for taking off points if the Health Care System wasn't Universial. They said AMERICA ranks number 1 in satisfaction, while Italy and Spain (which rank # 1 and #2 in that study) rank very low in satisfaction. Not to mention many of those people come here to get Health Care. Let me ask you this...if socialist health care is so, so, so good why do I meet so many medical tourist every year?

  • @JJJohnson32 America ranks #1 in satisfaction? Hahah oh wow. Yeah, a system which charges my friend $34,000 for getting an ambulance ride to a hospital where they told her "we don't have the supplies to treat you. go away" after she sat in a room for 16 hours is a GREAT system. Also, a country deserves to be docked points for not having healthcare for everyone.

    The healthcare is amazing here in Canada. It's socialized healthcare and it works great.

  • @bobmuffins Yes by the people it treats.....Where did you live? And I live in Florida, so I know a TON of people from Canada....lets include you in mix for the sake of argument.....You are the FIRST one I have talked to that LOVED the healthcare system. You are even the first one who supports it. That makes it 99 out of 100. Plus I've known people who have gone to Canada for treatment compared it to a third world country. Our System isn't perfect and needs tweaking, but socialized is not the way

  • @JJJohnson32 I know 0 people who are opposed to the system, yet I know thousands who are opposed to the healthcare system in America.

    Sorry man. We can't really just go off people we know though.

    tinyurl(dot)com/4992jkh Read it. Realize why the American system sucks.

  • @bobmuffins Ok Youtube won't let me post comments anymore...I had a huge reply but idk if I feel like writing it now. The jist was I think U.S and Canada's healthcare systems are kinda similar, depends on where you live, 6 months to see a doctor I've been told, and Universial Healthcare won't work in the U.S.

  • @JJJohnson32 And why won't it work in the US?

  • @bobmuffins Our Population is much larger than Canada.....I mean in States with lesser populations it may work, but in my area, I don't think it will...

  • @JJJohnson32 10x more population- sure, you've got 10x more people to support, but you've also got 10x the people to put money into the system. All in all it's the exact same thing on a larger scale.

  • @bobmuffins Yes to make it work we'd need more doctors, nurses and hospitals and staff, ect.....we already have a limited number of doctors...

  • @JJJohnson32 Unless the US has a signifigantly smaller percentage of doctors, that's not really a problem.

  • @bobmuffins I believe we have a higher standard of accepting medical personel....I read it in an article somewhere...I'll try and find it....

  • @bobmuffins Ok, then let's go off of facts. Fact, the Canadian healthcare system is not sustainable. In 2007 the B.C. Ambulance Service had to increase their prices by 50%. Moreover, virtually every analysis of the Canadian healthcare system, including the Kirby Report, the Mazankowski Report and the Fyke Report for the Government of Saskatchewan identifies sustainability of the health care system as a major challenge.

  • @bobmuffins As a result of this lack of sustainability costs are cut by reductions in services offered, shuttering of healthcare facilities, fewer health professionals entering the field, increased waiting times, and forgoing innovative but expensive new technologies. As for not knowing a single Canadian who is opposed to your system, I'm willing to bet that you ahve heard of Shona Holmes. Then there is Brian Sinclair, a homeless man from Winnipeg who died while waiting 34 hours to see a dr.

  • @bobmuffins If Canada's socialized healthcare is so great then why did it rank at #30 on your beloved rankings list? If you really want to support a government monopoly on health care, well, I can't fix stupid. As for that ambulance ride costing $34,000 I'm calling pure bullshit on that one. The average cost of an ambulance ride in the US is between $700-$900 so there is no way your "friend" paid over 4700% more than the national average. Debate honestly or go away.

  • @bobmuffins That ranking is from over a decade ago and the WHO no longer conducts such rankings. The fact is that because each nation has entirely different health care systems there is no possible way to provide an accurate comparison. In a more recent study comparing the health care systems of Britain, Canada and the US one finding was that American were less satisfied with the avilability of health care but were far more satisfied with the quality than were Canadian or Britons.

  • @captwasabi Are you seriously implying that the system you described is in any way better than the American system which is "If you don't have the money, which most people don't, you're boned for the rest of your life with debt"?

    I'm not going to say the Canadian system is the best. Is it FAR better? Yes. Very yes. Let me ask you this- is money or life more important?

  • @bobmuffins Well, considering that the system I descibed was the Canadian system then no, it's not any better. In fact, I would say that in some instances it's worse. The plain and simple fact is that private industry is many orders of magnitude more efficient than the government. This is undeniable fact. I can hardly get my streets plowed and my garbage picked up yet I'm supposed to buy into some all-powerful govt health care system? No thank you!

  • @bobmuffins Additionally, your comment "If you don't have the money, which most people don't, you're boned for the rest of your life with debt"? is a gross misrepresentation of the American system. I've already pointed out several of your lies. If you wish to continue having this discussion then learn to stay with the facts or you will simply be ignored.

  • @bobmuffins As for your love of taxpayer funded healthcare, how do you reconcile the fact that Canadians have a higher mortality rate for acute myocardial infarction because of Canadias conservative acceptance of revascularizing coronary arteries? Certainly seems to me that having all healthcare decisions vested in the govt isn't such a good thing after all? Additionally, Canada currently spends about 10% of GDP on healhcare. What services should they cut in order to maintain health services?

  • @captwasabi America actually spends more than 10% on Medicare/Medicaid. Seems to me we don't need to cut any at all.

    I know multiple people who are left in debt, or due to their conditions are forced to spend more on medication than they do on rent and food combined which leaves them broke, as a result of the healthcare system. Just because you don't see it happening doesn't mean it isn't.

    We may not be as good at dealing with some infections as other countries. Doesn't make it a worse system.

  • @bobmuffins The people you are talking about are the minimum. Probably less than 1%. The mandate to purchase health care is a gross abuse of government power. As I have said, there are far better ways to reform the American health care system then what was done here. The plain fact is that a unified, single=payer system is not the answer.

  • @captwasabi Well, if that's not the answer, what is? If you're going to say a private, money-hungry system, which doesn't care at all about the people, just how much money they have, that's not the answer either. Don't just say "This isn't the answer" without saying what the right one is.

  • @bobmuffins First off, those "money hungry" organizations you are so quick to condemn are most often the most efficient. In fact, "money hungry" often drives down costs while increasing quality whereas a monopoly only serves to stagnate quality while increasing cost. That's economics 101 so please do not bother wasting my times by arguing those points. As for alternatives to Obamacare, there is tort reform, allowing providers to sell across state lines and other options. Govt is not the way.

  • @captwasabi Even if these systems are more efficient, this doesn't mean they're better. I can see where you're coming from if health care was a product, but no, it's a matter of human life we're talking about. What about people who have a condition that stops them from getting a job, no insurance provider will accept them, yet costs them huge amounts? A government-based system would take them, no sane company-based one would.

    Even if govt methods aren't the way, companies aren't either.

  • @bobmuffins "Even if these systems are more efficient, this doesn't mean they're better." The stupidity of this comment is astounding. Uh, if the entire crux of the argument is that healthcare costs too much then efficiency is critical if not absolutely central to the cure! And health care IS a product which only means that the individual mandate the US Congress recently passed effectively reinstates slavery. As for the people you are talking about, again, it's way less than 1%.

  • @captwasabi Again, the US spends a higher percentage of their money on healthcare than Canada does currently, so if the current system isn't too expensive for you, why would a new one be? If it really will be higher, y'know where you can find the money? The HORRIFICALLY high "defense" budget. Also, no, forcing healthcare is nothing like slavery, and it's been done before, by the US as well. They made sailors, before going on a journey, purchase some form of health and life insurance.

  • @bobmuffins 1st, unless Canada is prepared to be the UN's primary military force as well as our role as the initial military force on scene for natural disasters don't even fucking mention our defense budget. And yes, mandating that US citizens must buy a service is slavery. Someone is going to have to provide that service. What happens when there are not enough medical practitioners to meet demand? As for your sailors comment they could stop being sailors. American's can't stop being citizens.

  • @captwasabi 75 million dollars can fund your defense budget for 3 and a half hours. Something that gross deserves mentioning. No, it's not slavery. What if the wording was changed so that taxes are increased, but healthcare is provided if you want it? Would that still be slavery, or would it be increased taxes? Is it still slavery that you must purchase car insurance?

  • @bobmuffins If there is a mandate for a service to be purchased then some one MUST be required by law to provide that service, even if it is against their will. That's fucking slavery. End of fucking story. And again, unless Canada is going to take on the US's role on the international stage shut yer fucking trap about our military. We're the one's on scene , within hours of an earthquake or a tsunami within a few hours to lend a helping hand before Canada even get's their pants on.

  • @captwasabi Again, no, it's not slavery, though that's just down to the definition of the word, and that's not the debate at hand here.

    Are you seriously going to suggest that the defense budget isn't horrifically high? If that's honestly what you're trying to propose- sorry, I don't even know what to say to you, but spending as much as the next 27 highest spenders combined is TOO MUCH.

  • @bobmuffins I'm fucking done with you. The conversation is getting cyclical. You want to ignore the truth and live in your own little delusion, go right ahead. You want to redefine words to fit your own needs, go right ahead. But as I said, unless you are prepared to have Canada take on the role of the American military keep yer pie hole shut.

    enjoy having the last word. I know how much trolls like you enjoy it.

  • @bobmuffins "Is it still slavery that you must purchase car insurance?" I love it when morons ask this question because it so clearly proves their utter and complete inability to think criticall. No, the requirement to have car insurance is NOT slavery. You know why fuckstick? Because there is no LEGAL MANDATE TO BUY A FUCKING CAR! How many times does it have to be said before it sinks through that melon of yours? Well, I'm pretty much done shooting your lies down. Have fun.

  • @captwasabi Is it legally required to own a car? No, no it isn't. You seem to be under the impression though that any government run healthcare system would be FORCED onto you. That doesn't have to be true. It could just as easily be an opt-in system, in which the government runs it. Does that still sound like "slavery"? No, it doesn't. I never once stated it would be mandatory anyways, I was just rolling with what you were stating, so pull off that concept and think a bit.

  • @bobmuffins Seriously? Did you eat lead paint chips? Opt-out? How the fuck do you opt out of a MANDATE which is "a command or authorization to act in a particular way on a public issue given by the electorate to its representative" to buy health insurance? How the FUCK do you opt out of that? Seriously, are you just fucking stupid or are you intentionally this deceitful? Obamacare has MANDATED (READ DEFINITION ABOVE) that all US citizens BUY health insurance.

  • @captwasabi I'm not proposing the health care reform is perfect. I'm not. Quit saying I am, or otherwise putting words in my mouth. I'm proposing a government-run healthcare system, that's all. If you're not going to read what I'm saying, I'm not either.

    And again, your only argument is "AAAAA SLAVERY"- are taxes slavery? Taxes are mandatory so long as you're a citizen, so why aren't you busy bitching about those?

  • @bobmuffins "Taxes are mandatory so long as you're a citizen, so why aren't you busy bitching about those?" Art 1; Sec 8 you stupid fuck. "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes...."

    And I do bitch about my taxes being too high because the government is paying for all sorts of entitlement programs.

    I said I was done before but I keep getting dragged back into your stupidity.

    Enjoy the superiority of knowing I once again was beaten by a fool.

  • @captwasabi You think taxes are too high? Enjoy paying some of the lowest taxes in the world while you say that.

  • @captwasabi And so what if those people are in such a minority? 1% of the US is still about 3.5 million people. Are you really going to say that those 3.5 million people just deserve to die?

    A study was performed, actually, that indicated about 23% of Americans couldn't come up with only $2000 in the event of a medical emergency in a month. Are you in that 23%? Quite possibly. Those 23%, in the event of any medical emergency, are completely and totally fucked.

  • @bobmuffins You are such a fucking drama queen it's pathetic. First off, it has long been against the law in the US for emergency medicine to be withheld for lack of an ability to pay so no one is "completely and totaly fucked" in an emergency situation. You are again, either through ignorance or intent to deceive, creating a false situation. Obamacare has only served to further limit access to healthcare thus far, not improve it.

  • @captwasabi Alright, what if it's not an emergency? What if it's, say, some dental work that will need to be done, and soon? Since life isn't at risk, that won't be defined as an "emergency", though without attention, the situation will rapidly get worse.

    And, no, unless you have any proof to show it, the health care reform hasn't limited healthcare at all yet.

  • @bobmuffins Uh.....google "child only health insurance" and tell me what you find you dumb fuck! "Some of the country's most prominent health insurance companies have decided to stop offering new child-only plans, rather than comply with rules in the new health-care law that will require such plans to start accepting children with preexisting medical conditions after Sept. 23." How's that for proof you ignorant troll. Now begone!

  • @captwasabi Nicely done, resorting to cursing and namecalling. Suppose you're running out of places to turn then? I'm also not proposing cutting out the entire defense budget. Cut out even 5% of it and you'd have a TON of money lying around, and the budget would still be MASSIVE.

    "ignore the truth" Yeah, I could say the same to you. Your only argument has really only been "UHHH SLAVERY! SLAVERY! AAAAHHHH" Are taxes slavery? Not really, no. No they're not.

  • @bobmuffins "Your only argument has really only been "UHHH SLAVERY! SLAVERY! AAAAHHHH" Really? So I haven't said ANYTHING about the economics, the inefficiency or ANY OTHER arguemtns against universal,taxpayer funded federally mandated health care?

    Fuck you, you miserable lying prick. I resort to namecalling and cursing in response to your continual lying, strawmanning and bullshit overly dramatic stories.

    If you are unable to debate honestly then do not engage in the act at all.

  • @captwasabi The economics are fine, I've proved that, and you haven't responded. The efficiency is fine as well, as we've proven running it here in Canada, or even better, the French system.

    So yeah, your only argument that I haven't even known how to respond to because of how stupid it is is your slavery argument.

  • @bobmuffins Let's just get something striaght right here delusional boy. You haven't proven dick. Comments like "Even if these systems are more efficient, this doesn't mean they're better" does nothing to prove the economics are better. Moreover, I cited several reports commissioned by the Canadian govt which clearly stated that the sustainability of the Canadian healthcare system was a major challenge and you utterly ignored those comments so no, you haven't proven dick.

  • @bobmuffins Last comment before I go to bed. Google "How does the quality of care compare in five countries" (Health affairs (Project Hope) 23 (3): 89–99). this study found that while Canadians are statistically healther than Americans we Americans have a higher rate of cure over certain types of cancer than Canadians. There are ways to improve the American healthcare system without making the same mistakes Canada made in the 60's.

  • Healthcare, I have insurance, through my job, so my company takes care of me because I take care of them. My wife is an ER nurse, and by law has to treat anyone who comes into the ER, even if they don't have insurance. So the non profit hospital, passes the cost to me and anyone else who pays the bills, through the insurance premiums we pay for. They just raise the price at the hospital, the insurance company has to make a huge profit so they adjust accordingly. and I pay for everyone.

  • I hate using percentages for a group of people but just over 50% of "Homeless" people choose to be Homeless or are homeless because no one wants to support their Drug Addictions. I kicked out a former friend who was kicked out of his home by his Grandma because of his Drug Addiction (not Drug Use, but Addiction) to this day he would rather be addicted than have a place to stay...

  • You ROCK! I love your passion, and your enthusiasm, and you are 100% right!

  • Good God this man can really shout the truth out.

  • 3:06 Thats what she said :)

  • Thank you! Thank you! thank! you!

  • He makes sense, wish American's would wake up to these well defined facts. Socialism is a failed system, has been proven everywhere it has been tried. The USSR was a good example of Socialism (communism is the same as socialism).

    Open your mind and become a conservative and follow the path of americanism and capitalism...

  • I like you more and more with each video.

  • One thing is clear. You sure can talk.  Can I get paid too?

  • Excellent!

  • bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! well spoken!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • 01:13 Lets say you a crackhead and I'm a crack dealer I'm gonna give you that good crack, I aint gonna cut with as much Imma hook you up with a good price and I won't even make you suck my d.. hey that sounds like a much deal then the one I woulda got on the other side of the hood! LoL

  • There also won't be any advancements in medicine. And the same goes for pharmaceuticals. If the pharmaceutical companies can't compete, does anyone in their right mind think they will have any incentive to develop new drugs and therapies?

  • all bullshit aside... take this in for a second.... Ok, politicians lie, thats what they do best. As the people of the greatest nation in the history of the world, the politicians have turned the people against each other... now whats wrong with this picture? alot actually. the government is here to serve us, right? im a republican but some times you have to take a step back and you see how fucked up the us government is.

  • amen brother

  • the problem with your reasoning is that it is the middle class that is paying taxes and supporting this country, not the rich. the rich pays the least taxes because they have the best accountants and the most tax shelters. You're an idiot.

  • @takingitadayatatime - I'm afraid your statement claiming the middle class pays the majority of the taxes in America is plain and simply wrong. The top 10% most wealthy people in America pay 90% of the taxes and that is a statistical fact from the government itself.

  • @takingitadayatatime The same accountants and tax shelters are available to everyone. The problem with your reasoning is that your idea of the rich applies to less than the top 1%, yet the ridiculous taxes on the "upper class" have families living just barely over the middle class mark paying as much as 50% or more of their annual incomes in taxes.

  • Actually a lot of the countries that have socialized medicine are going bankrupt. That's why Germany wants to pull out of the EU, because they don't want to float all the countries in the union that are going under.

  • This video sums up the average Republican view-

    I DON'T NEED IT, SO CLEARLY NO ONE DOES, RIGHT?

    Not everyone has as much money as you. Sorry, mate.

  • @bobmuffins And your attitude sums up the average Liberal view : "I'm a victim and the world owes me!"

    Liberals just can't grasp the concept of having an opinion based on values and principles (and common sense) rather than greed.

  • @briteenough2burn Hah, oh man that's funny.

    >liberals

    >greedy

    You're insane, man. Conservatives are the greedy ones. "The poor don't have something? Fuck them, even though they've applied to 3 jobs a day for the past 2 months and they still haven't found one they're just lazy assholes who aren't trying. They don't need my money. Disregard that they're starving, and they can't pay for the medication their 3 year old daughter needs to live, or anything else. I EARNED IT BRO"

  • @bobmuffins For the record, greed is a sin that even poor people can commit. And just because someone needs something doesn't mean they're entitled to it, of course we still have the freedom to help them via charity. I don't know if you've ever worked for a charity, but it's worth a try before you whore for socialism.

  • @evilbirthdaycake So, I know someone who makes 23 thousand a year. Her rent is only $400, thankfully. She's learned how to get by with under $200 a month on food. However, guess what? She's got a medical condition, which, if the health care bill gets repealed lots of conservatives are pushing for, will cost her $35 thousand a year in medication. What is she supposed to do? Don't say "get a new job", she's trying.

    How is she not entitled to the coverage she can't get insurance for?

  • @bobmuffins No, you think I should give you something because I have 2 and you have none. That's greed. I can give you one If I'm a good person, but no one should be allowed to force me to.

  • @briteenough2burn Okay, now say I'll die if you don't give it to me. You only need one to survive, yet somehow, you have two. Do you still think you shouldn't be forced to give it to me?

  • @bobmuffins Ok, I have a scenario for you. Let's pretend that you're in college. You and your roommate have the same History class so you guys do all your studying and work together, neither of you party and you both work hard. When grades come out, you have a 100% A+ in the class, but your roommate got a C because he's just not as good at History as you. Is it okay, then, to take some points from your grade and add them to his so you both have B's?

  • @briteenough2burn Grades aren't money. They take only your individual work, and have nothing to do with your starting position. Let's make this like a game. Like Monopoly.

    Person 1 starts with 0 dollars, person 2 starts with 500, person 3 starts with 5000. Is it possible for person 1 to win? Technically, yes. Will they win, 99% of the time? No, person 3 will win almost every single game.

    You seem to be under the impression every single person in the world starts with 5000 dollars.

  • @bobmuffins No, you seem to be under the impression that some people, chosen at random, are born with $100 bills in their hands.

    I'm under the impression of the FACT that everyone starts at zero. If wealth is inherited, it's because someone in the family earned it on their own and chose to support the rest of their family (what a novel idea).

  • @briteenough2burn While this is true, someone did the work, you have to admit that if you're born in a really poor family, who struggles to get you through public school, and has no hope in hell at funding even a month at college or university, you'll have next to no chance at getting rich compared to someone who has a rich family, buying the best tutors in the country, sending them to the best schools and universities.

    Is it a possibility? Yes. Will it happen? Almost certainly no.

  • @bobmuffins It has happened, and it does happen, but it certainly won't if you don't allow it the chance.

    And besides that, everything you're saying is based upon the current system, which is the cause of this problem in the first place.

  • @briteenough2burn I'm not saying don't allow the chance. I'm saying help the chance. Some people seem to be under the impression socialism is communism.

    And yes, the current system is the cause of this problem, hence why I feel it needs to be changed.

  • @Skintrinsic Show me how your god provides for the preconditions of intelligibility in human experience. Immanuel kant asked an important question. "What must be in order for what is to be?" It's a question regarding transcendental necessities. What must already be in order for their to be verification of what is? Tell me how sandwiches and unicorns can provide for that.

  • Great Video. Right on!! Grew up a poor. Worked my ass off and now I am a proud successful business owner. Was told I should be a Democrat because I am Mexican. Then-- I saw the light- AMEN. Now a SOLID REPUBLICAN. Proud of New Mexico. We just elected the first Hispanic Female Governor, A REPUBLICAN!!! (and she used to be a Democrat too-go figure). Keep spreading the word as I do. What's right is right as sure as the sky is blue. Liberals are not our friends.

  • @bthedirtydog Why do you think you having money has something with being republican? Oprah was poor and she is rich now and she is a democrat. So what why do you think being a republican made you into something?

  • 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

  • 20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

  • Skintrinsic...Romans 1:18-25 (King James Version) 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

  • People make sandwiches, sandwiches don’t make people. Food is a created thing. God made it for us to eat. People who make a god out of any created thing are idolaters. My ultimate presupposition is axiomatic showing itself to be necessary in order for there to be intelligible experience. You presupposition is faulty.

    God’s Word says:

    1 Corinthians 6:13

    Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them….

  • @Skintrinsic Your presupposing the validity of your 5 senses in the same way that I am presupposing my God. Empiricism is your starting point. The problem is you can’t verify it given your worldview. You start with “me, myself, and I”. You can’t give formal verification for or justify the use of your 5 senses.

  • why aren't you my history teacher?!!?

  • Bad rant! And it's completely fallacious. First of all, if healthcare is so bad around the world. Why is it that we are the shortest lived people in the industrialized world? Concerning macro-economics, a nation's currency is not backed by the oil that it can extract. If we keep drilling for oil ad nauseum we are going to have more gulf disasters.

  • @violatione I would also like to say that our longevity is also shortened by working longer hours than most nations and thus suffer from a greater risk of health issues related to stress. Personally, I would like to see a more competitive based health care system in which the government funds LESS money to insurance companies thus the companies need the customers more and are more willing to work to keep the consumer's business. Instead of suckling so much on the taxpayers' dollar.

  • I also really like that he is a Christian because I really love Jesus - he is so sexy with his beard and abs and all.
