I would rather drag these shitting corporate enemies of our country out in to the streets and give them fair trials and then hang these shitting traitors from street lamps.
I don't even think the Daily Show thing was subliminal. It's a natural joke to be made off the melodramatic moans of the right wing about taxing the poor, poor rich. It's obvious, know what I mean? That doesn't mean they ripped it off. It means both parties went for the low hanging fruit.
Check out the Daily Show clip on their site: it's called "Moneybrawl - The Extinction of Subway, Bill O'Reilly & The Super Rich"
I realize these hings may happen subliminally or unintentionally, but this is pretty close.... at least give theFunkanomics guys credit (and maybe a gig on your staff!
I am a huge fan of The Daily Show and have been for years because of the brilliant writing andsketches on the show - so I was upset to see that last night the writers (or John or both) either rippedoff or borrowed material from this video done by some very talented budding comedy writers - Sean and Ryan Kleier. This video was posted weeks ago on their website,YouTube and The Huffington Post.
@ roshi98 . That money is long gone, spent, and will never be paid back.... Every year that SOC SEC took in less than it paid out, interest bonds were used to cover the cost. It used to be rare, now it is every year, and all the bonds and interest are spent..... The program is going to collapse if we continue as is. Look at the PO fer chrissakes....in a few months it is due to pay 5.5 billion it doesn't have. And will collapse. Try doing some research instead of listening to the ideologues.
@FredoLaredo Social Security started giving monthly payments in January 1940 and it has never missed a payment to anyone. It has worked for 71+ years and has a surplus. The rich only pay into SS on the first 100k they make from their working income. IT HAS WORKED FOR 70 YEARS AND SOCIAL SECURITY HAS A SURPLUS!!! DONT LET ANYONE TAKE THIS AWAY FROM YOU OR OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS!!!.
It's Pure Grade USD approved Bullshit, and you morons buy it lock stock and Barrel! Try calling and asking your Congress person about the 2.5 Trillion Congress now owes Social Security, that through Tricky bookkeeping practices isn't even counted in the National debt!
@FredoLaredo the federal government has been borrowing against the accumulated assets of Social Security because it is a completely solvent, money-making system. There is nothing wrong with the program, it's the decisions pols make to liquidate its money for discretionary spending on things like two unnecessary wars and bank bailouts.
This is just one example of how America operates in todays times, and it's these types of corruption that is responsible for our countries fall from power as a world leader. Everything is about money, there is no honor left in America, and we're to blame, because we let it happen.
Soooo what is an Credit Default Swap? Why and how are they used? What is the major malfunction with the CDS market?
Be the cause of a better tomorrow, not the trumpet of blame from the past
