NJ STUDENTS AGAINST CHRIS CHRISTIE WALKOUT TRIBUTE

[froochie123]

Did they Free Joe after all that?

[dealer350z]

OMG! Students took an opportunity to be out of a classroom!!! Not possible! I mean me as a student would never take an opportunity to walk out of a room for something i probably know nothing about... oh. wait. I totally would! one word for this video....Idiots.

[PainandMotivation]

fuck the unions they always complain and yet they cannot teach you kids that is why so many of you become less educated. they scream and cannot get the job done fire the ones who cannot teach

[johnsmithvideo]

Stupid teachers' unions have used these students as drug mules and spread propaganda that is not true. These students are stupid illiterate bums in Newark and other cities where the corrupt bureaucrats do nothing but feast on the taxpayer pie while many of the students in failing schools do not even graduate.

[Willredd94]

STupid ignorant morons who have been brainwashed and propagandized by their union teacher scum like in Nazi germany.

[TheFequalsMA]

These stupid kids should be docked...

[MUGSY1221]

my review...

in the introduction, both the words "despite" and "what" are spelled wrong. The first sentence is a run on, and not completed. It says "despite warnings to students" but does not follow up with "to not do this" or anything of the sort. Also, New Jersey is not a nation. So as we can tell from the first 22 seconds, this is clearly a NJ public school student making this clip.

[MUGSY1221]

At 26 seconds, we learn that they like Nickleback. I don't know which is worse.

I certainly hope that that isn't a "student" that appears in the middle of the frame in a blue jacket at 57 seconds.

[MUGSY1221]

At 1:16 we remember that everything about that day was illegal, and these students would definitely have benefited from maybe paying attention in school for a day.

1:50 reminds us exactly why they chose a bright and sunny day like April 27th for this walkout; being that it was nice out and no one felt like staying in a school for too long.

I'm almost positive the the sign holder at 2:38 could not care less.

2:48 brings us an undecipherable blurry picture. Thank you pUnKsTaRR.

[MUGSY1221]

No good sir at 2:57, at this rate, you will not be attendind UCLA.

3:21, the middle of the road is always a good place to protest.

3:40, its time to learn to use your funds and supplies wisely, namely, not by making outrageous statements that no one will take as seriously as your emoticons make it out to be.

And finally we get to 3:51, where a speech bubble which points the wrong way claims that Christie hates teachers, students, and budgets.

Chris Christie is a Knicks fan.

[nyyankees4296]

the fuckin teachers union is too strong. I am a high school student and I agree with what christie is doing, and the teachers should pay for some of their benefits like almost every other American

[greatonyak]

I wonder how many of these students parents lost their house in Foreclosure because of high property taxes? Im sure the NJEA could not care less about the poor children having a home, just that they collect their $130 Million Dollars a year Membership Dues from the Teachers and Democrat Perks.

[TheMindfulOne]

Tax breaks for the rich while cutting education to where he probably broke the NJ Constitution and people think he's doing great? You people are sickining! Yes Corzine sucked, but Christie?? 10x worse. Since when did everyone become anti-education and even worst anti-thinking?

[electricalron]

the majority of kids who go to school HATE NICKLEBACK. (IN NEWARK)

[electricalron]

the majority of kids who go to school HATE NICKLEBACK.

[coronet51]

Fine example of liberal indoctrination at work in your schools. Nanny government must pay for everyone, on everyone elses dime.

[freedumb0220]

I am friggin' confused on what is going on

[Concept0000]

lol Christie is actually doing great. Keep it up Chris!

[dancercutey12]

dislike!

[caves51]

These students will do anything to get out of a failing school.What a joke .Yeah they support the teachers my butt.they'er being used in more ways then they know, good job teachers .Just do your job well and keep your political hands off our children.

[atchisrj1]

Love the song, hate the misuse of it though. Chris Christie is my Governor and for once I am proud of a NJ Governor. Break the NJEA!

[FrankensteinJones]

Ah, youthful liberals. No political argument here, no logic. Just pictures of kids walking out of school and a rock song.

How hard do you think it was to get most of those kids to cut a class? And why are these people even pretending that cutting a class is a noble act, or a sacrifice in any way?

Christie is probably one of the top 8 contenders for the GOP 2012 Pres spot, and probably one of the top 3 contenders for the VP spot, simply because of what theses morons are protesting.

[NikovK]

Also the 'youth of the nation' need to learn you put spaces after, not before, a comma.

[NikovK]

If you're young and not a liberal, you have no heart. If you're old and not a conservative, you have no brain.

[bloc772]

most of them did it to skip school

[jbeyers84]

Anybody who can piss off this many Liberal Drones will definitely get my vote for President!!! The sad thing is that the New Jersey School kids have gotten so dumb they don't even know what they are protesting. Kids are young impressionable minds so when their teachers talk bad about Chris Christie they take their word as Gospel. This isn't fair to these kids none of them will ever be successful in the real world because their teachers keep their minds out of the real world and in the Utopia.

[mfith]

Talk about ignorant students. Mr Christie is doing what is right thing to do. You should thank that there is someone who is willing take crap from everyone and do what is right. These days it is hard to find people like him. Others they just want to print money and go into deeper debt which these students and children of these students will end up paying in the future. Too bad they don't realize this....

[jbeyers84]

@mfith That's the thing they are so Ignorant and don't stand a chance in the future because of their left wing whining liberal fucking cocksucking spineless teachers. I just recently had a kid and he is not any way in hell going to public schools when this is the kind of shit they are teaching our children. And FFS what's with the Nickleback song they suck lol.

[mfith]

@jbeyers84 Yo it's good to see some people knows and accepts the truth. Yeah don't send you kids to public school but by end of all this I believe unions(the greedy unions) will be destroyed. Instead of these kids protesting (probably brainwashed by teachers) they should thank him for doing the right thing, willing to take lot of shit from lot of people. These days not many politician are like him, they only care about re-election, giving people what they want not what they need.

[jbeyers84]

@mfith lol Tell me about it here in Minnesota we just got a Liberal Teacher as a Governor now former U.S. Senator Mike Dayton. Can't stand the guy. He is a Cadillac Liberal heir to the Dayton's Department stores.

[Jenstina]

Maybe someone should tell you how much he is spending on his administration.

200K for two people to help his wife

60K for someone out of school for only 3 years to do work my kids could do.

Look it up.

What did he cut in his administration to help reduce our state taxes?

He has many, many 140K folks on his team with cadillac benefits.

[jbeyers84]

@Jenstina instead of just spouting off non-sense could you tell us where to look it up cause I can't find any of this information you said anywhere except for blogs. My experience with people who use "look it up" as their source it's because there isn't any.

[stinkinpunks]

maybe they should try actually studying and learning what's going on for themselves... stupid FB drones... 

[longlivecrow]

LIBERAL SCUM IS A CANCER

[ConcealedCarrier]

"Dispite" huh? Well you might as well go outside and get some exercise. You sure aren't learning anything.

[Demslayer45]

He actually INCREASED state funding for education by several hundred million dollars... The budget hole was due to the fact that NJ no longer had stimulus money from the previous year. Corzine had spent it all to try to make the budget look fiscally responsible before his election. You can't spend money that doesn't exist anymore.

[jbeyers84]

@Demslayer45 lol these kids don't know that, Remember when we had teachers who's word was actually worth something. They aren't anymore these kids don't have teachers they have Anti-Capitalist Big Government should take care of you Socialist Activist Instructors

[rscopell]

hey, you should of stayed in school that day, you mis-spelled "what" as "wat"

[Micheleeroo]

Chris Cristie for president 2016! A governor for our times....the people of New Jersey have been ripped off for years. Finally, they have someone who is on THEIR side; not the special interests.

[Mineretta2012]

The teachers lied to the students. This is absurd. Teachers you are over paid in every state. The students are not learning and you are not teaching.

[domvasta]

if they really cared about their education, they would stay in class and keep learning, they're just doing this to feel good about being politically active

[rscopell]

so hundreds (maybe a thousand) students skipped school to rally against a governor who is trying to bring down the unions that are ruining their education... awesome. the death of our republic lies in the generation of stooges who are more interested in FB than what is happening in the real world.

[powder413]

vox91 just trolls christie vids, dont take the bait Skellum. FYI Christie has advocated raising teachers salaries if the pension scam is dealt with. Bottom line is if you are under 35 teacher your union is screwing you, your not gonna get whats promised by them. The money isnt there. They can stamp their feet as much as they want. Its not there. Pyramid schemes dont work, which is essentially what the unions run.

[immikeurnot]

Thank you teachers for making children into political pawns. Great job. Really obvious that you care about the kids more than anything else.

[rhall4th]

Chris Christie really had no other choice - the state is broke, taxes are through the roof - what do you expect? Something has to give, and Christie had to cut spending.

[perpelperson]

Im coming from a students point of view at a town whos budget got cut, and all of you youtubers that my education was sacrificed because of the cuts. My school had a walkout and we didn't walkout of school because we wanted to get out of class,we walked out because we cared about our education. Go figure, now theres 30 people in every class, there are no extracurricular activities, the majority of teachers had been fired, there is a higher student to teacher ratio...students really do care.

[fuffy5281]

@perpelperson "From a students point of view" what is your solution?

[perpelperson]

@fuffy5281 my solution to the problem is to get more people to realize that students actually do care. The teachers didnt force us or use us...we planned walkouts on the down low without consulting teachers. If more people realized this then people would help my school so the children can get the most out of high school. A lot of people where I live dont realize how much children actually care about their education...and we have to make them aware of it.

[fuffy5281]

@perpelperson Let me ask the question in another way, because you apparently didn't get it. What is your solution to the financial problem? Weather or not kids have the ability to organize a ditch day is not the issue. It's just funny and pointless.

[Darkrunner1975]

Money doesn't grow on trees children. When you're older you will realize that,

[gunloc26]

Damn do I hate today's youth...

[DragonsFyreBreath]

An 18-year-old College student has managed to give thousands of students an excuse to walk out of classroom which are being instructed by disgruntled teachers upset about having to actually pay for their own benefits... And it worked... Yeah, big shocker there.

[Skellum82]

Man what misguided youth. Its funny because they are like sheep who only know what garbage mistruths have been fed to them by either their parents or the teachers (aka NJEA-teachers union). What would be really impressive is if any of these students stopped being led by what the other is doing and look into the issues themselves. They wont do that though. Sheep of the left wing. Thats their existence.

[Vox91]

@Skellum82 Why don't you take your own advice and look into the issues. Who are you to be calling anyone a sheep? You're just repeating the same nonsense that any moron could listen to on 101.5 and the other right wing radio shows. You don't make any serious points except to show that you're not very well informed.

[Skellum82]

@Vox91 I dont listen to whatever radio station you're talking about. I've been looking into issues since I was 16 and I listen to what people actually say. I dont care what MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, or Radio has to say. I listen to what the politicians say and then see how they back it up. I dont like Republican or Democrat, but Chris Christie is right. Quit being closed minded. The fact is the students were lied to by their teachers about the issues and they believed them. They ARE SHEEP!

[Skellum82]

@Vox91 and lets not forget that the stimulus money from the federal government ran out and that is why NJ schools were not getting the same amount as last year. The NJEA wont say that because it goes against the ace they have to grind with Christie. Why dont the teachers union use their union dues to help cover the 1% cost so the Teachers wont feel it. They wouldnt do that because the real issue isnt about the kids or the teachers. Its about the Unions agenda. Its so obvious.

[Vox91]

@Skellum82 Let's not forget that the whole stimulus money "excuse" was cooked up by the right wing media to get Christie off the hook for cutting education funding to the bone. Call your local school board or school superintendent and tell them it was the lack of stimulus money that led to the lay offs and cuts. They'll either laugh at you or hang up. Face it. You don't know what you're talking about and you're simply repeating right wing media talking points.

[Vox91]

@Skellum82 It's only "obvious" if the only thing you listen to is FOX News or right wing radio. The average NJ teacher makes LESS than the median income in the districts in which they teach. That's a fact. Republicans are attempting to break the union and push teacher salaries back below the poverty line as they were before the 1970s. I'm sure if you took a pay cut or freeze it would help increase the income of the upper 5% of the state that Christie represents. Why don't you? 

[Skellum82]

@Vox91 I'm in college so I have and married. I make barely above minimum wage. I AM BELOW THE POVERTY LINE!! I dont expect the government to cover the gap for me. Thats why I am going to college finally at 25. I dont care to have big brother carrying me my whole life. NJ teachers are paid better than most. Christie wants them to take a ONE YEAR pay freeze(which means one year without getting a raise) in order to help cover the deficit. The left only cares for themselves.

[Vox91]

@Skellum82 To sum up-- everything you've said here is either an outright lie or is simply a verbatim quote from a right-wing/corporate influenced news source. Please stop calling people "closed minded" simply because they have facts and perspectives from outside your narrow and deeply biased viewpoint. Does this help you to understand why people who support the Tea Party are ridiculed for being ignorant and uneducated? It should.

[Skellum82]

@Vox91 SHOW SOME PROOF THAT I LIED! You, like most of the left, will resort to slanderous accusations when cornered. It never fails. We all see right through you. Its funny you say that about the Tea Party, because the fact is people say the same thing about the left. I say the liberalism is a mental disorder. Logic escapes them. Come talk to me this Nov. when the Tea Party kicks out the same old Rep & Dem crooks and puts in true conservatives in office. I'm biased? and you're not? Get real.

[Vox91]

@Skellum82 So you were in the schools and witnessed teachers engaging in a mass conspiracy to lie to students and manipulate them into the walk out? That's quite a story! It's amazing that you are the only person in the state who can actually document this as a FACT (your word, not mine).

We both know that you're lying, of course, and that this is something you picked up from right wing radio and you're even lying about that.

[Skellum82]

@Vox91 I'm pretty sure I never said I was in the schools. So what are you saying is "my words, not yours"? I know that when I was in school I ALWAYS had teachers bad mouthing the right. It never failed. To this day in college the teachers bad mouth the right. They are all trying to influence their view on the students. I couldnt even tell you which of my tchrs/prof. were conservative/libertarian because they have the moral compass to not try and brainwash ppl. The lft dsnt wnt ppl thnkn 4 thmslv

[Skellum82]

@Vox91 and I'm done arguing. You will never convince me I'm wrong and I'll never convince you that you're wrong. When a fool and wise man argue it becomes hard to tell which one is the fool. So if you're way of thinking makes you happy then by all means you have the freedom to think that way. Have a nice day.

[fuffy5281]

By the way, there's a word for this. I think it's called TRUANCY. Get back to class.

[fuffy5281]

Do you really think these kids really care about what teachers are getting paid? You know they don't. Maybe a few of them know the real issues, but the rest see it as a day to cut school. They're not going to make history protesting for teachers who are already laid off. It's like living in a single parent house hold getting only one side of the story. They're impressionable teenagers. I don't think Christie's request was unreasonable.

[fleetwoodbrawm]

MIS-INFORMATION + HISTERIA + IMATURITY = IDIOTS CAUSING A NEAR RIOT TO GET OUT OF CLASS......LIKE THEY REALLY CARE....PLEASE

[gymcuero36]

Guess "WAT"? so much for the teachers doing their job. Whiney, whiney, and selfish. Contribute towards your healthcare and stop bemoaning what you're paid for 9 months of work!

[lanebatts26]

interesting way to end your video. In a way it shows how really dumb it is. :-)

poor...poor....poor...teachers­. the same ones all of these students dont really care about. honestly...give me a break! all the signs saying "dont fire my teacher" no one was talking about firing teachers. (and honestly, everyone else around the country is dealing with cut backs, why NOT teachers too) but This guy was asking them to put in 1 1/2 percent of thier salary (toward their OWN health care)and...no RAISE.

[nureallycool]

Shouldn't these kids be studying or something instead of wasting their time doing something their teachers are probably indoctrinating them with. God!

[MarkT770]

@littlesongbird1 acually at one point he could have take my moms job away from here because she a teacher and almost lost it. but she was NOT asking for a raise. and we have had all these things and now they gone. ok yea its sad. but he freaking forgot to do something on a paper that would possibly give the state education like 400 million $ and he failed! so he probly dont care!at least my school district didnt have much $ taken away last year..

[MarkT770]

@carrbomb0960 i am not an idiot! so dont call me that. and i have looked into things. i am into polotics so yea...he has cut stuff from my school so im not fond of him.

[Durdenhood2007]

Teachers don't deserve annual raises. I'm not sorry about it, either. Like Christie said, all he asked was for them to take a pay freeze (or cut, however you look at it), which amounted to, on average, $750 a year. Judging by what I've seen re: average salaries for NJ public teachers, that's a drop in the bucket. Police officers and firemen have to bust their asses, in an extremely tough job, and don't whine half as much as teachers unions - and teachers get summers off. Fuck you.

[LCjaydman]

OK students...You have two options for today. One, help your teacher out with a walkout or stay in class and do math problems.

[jersey2983]

I grew up in Jersey all my life!!!!! This the best damn Governor that we had in a long time. Sacrifies have to be made in order to get Jersey back to a surplus. Damn Liberal students learn the facts.

[Sebamb970]

teachers union ! lies !!!

[jimdog365]

The kids are moronic,and it just goes to show you how BAD the NJ teachers are. They are LYING to thier students because the UNION is full of shit and wants thier agenda followed no matter what. GO CHRISTIE, give em hell and show the rest of the country how to run a state. These teachers are spoiled rotten brats and need to be taught a lesson of thier own.

[MarkT770]

WE NJ STUDENTS NEED TO FIGHT AGAINST CHRISTIE HE HAS TAKEN AWAY SO MUCH FROM US!

[littlesongbird1]

@MarkT770 What has he taken away? Your parent's jobs? Nope.

You are loosing things like activities, buses, etc. because people who pay taxes can't afford a tax increase but teachers wanted raises and the costs of other things have gone up as well. It is a sad lesson, I agree but you are blaming the wrong person.

[carrbomb0960]

@MarkT770 Youre an idiot.... period... open your eyes and actually research something before you speak on it...

[ttolmbrftttwtbopat]

Its sad how ignorant you students are, dont you realize what happened? he asked teachers to take a pay raise for a year and pay 1.5 percent of their health benes for a year, the teachers said no, cut the funding i dont wanna pay 50 bucks a month for my health this year! normal people pay 300 bucks a month for crappy insurance for their whole lives! now dont you feel stupid... read legislation before you protest it, u might be protesting the other side.

[503mindst]

@ttolmbrftttwtbopat i was going to post something but you really did say it best.

[4bes]

these kids are to society what nickelback is to music

[503mindst]

@4bes best comment

[McGermer]

I spoke too soon. You have to wait 25 seconds. Christie's remarks are awesome. Because the kids don't understand the reason. And then they're like yea we do... and this is what we have to say! But what they really said is we're complete idiots. And Nickelback? Uh... gross. Worse video ever.

[McGermer]

If you want to know how stupid and mindless these kids are. Just watch the first nine seconds... dispite? Yea, if you can't spell "despite" then I don't think you can hold your own political opinion. And New Jersey's teachers have it fucking easy compared to Mississippi. I'd like to see them come down here for a year. They'd be begging to go back.

[littlesongbird1]

@McGermer Based on Average salaries:

NJ teachers are the 3rd highest paid in the country. (The first two are NY and CT).

And the highest paid for a state only requiring a bachelor's degree.

I am not poo pooing hard working teachers any where but I wonder if any of these teachers who are complaining have ever worked any where but in teaching. You know how many people have not gotten raises in years?

[MSavage59]

I am proud of what Christie is doing everything hes doing is right

his budget cuts are helping New Jersey Schools

[whoo689]

Who the hell told these students he cut $820 Million in educational funding? He's trying to cut COZY-ASS BENEFITS they don't need on top of their ridiculous overinflated state salaries. Do you REALLY think it takes $820 Million to pay for education of every student in a state as small as NJ? of course not! If it does, something is fucking wrong. The teachers' unions are LYING to you kids, and it's unfortunate that they used high schoolers for their political purposes. This is sick.

[newyorkairsoft]

@whoo689 Agree. These kinds of protests remind me of my high school where my history teacher hinted at us that the only way to fix USA is to vote Socialist Party.

[fiestacassarole]

These kids are idiots. Very idealistic ,but its easy to be when you still live with mom and dad. Give them a morgage and property taxes and see their tune change. Tell them the unions did this to the teachers. Explain to them the gross difference between private and public sector compensation.

[HerrSchenkel]

@fiestacassarole Well they're idiots because they're the victims of indoctrination by the public school system. Public school suck in general, but Teachers usually have a liberal slant that they push. I got it too, and followed it without question for a few years, myself.

Also, I am not surprised that a person that is for the teachers in this fight also thinks that Nickelback is anything but trash, haha.

[Gimli4theWest]

This proves teachers are not educating independent critical thinking citizens, but government dependent failures.

God help them when they go looking for a job that produces wealth in this country. God help us when they march for their next welfare check.

Every teacher of everyone of these students should resign in disgrace for the human tragedy they produced.

[mattvsp]

i have a news bulletin...when you have no money, you make cuts and sometimes those cuts hurt...suck it up nj..you've had it too easy too long!

[Rosardo]

Hahah these kids are either A) being strung along like fools by the teachers or B) just glad to be out of school and couldn't give a damn about the proposed cuts.

I'd tell them to gain an education, but that would just be an obvious pun.

[StanManley]

States are over taxed because of a bloated labor costs for undeserving government workers who are protected by unions. Did I say undeserving? Yup. There are, however, many deserving government workers who should get paid more because of their passion, performance and accountability. It's ashame that year after year, politicians feel the need to increase taxs to meet budgetary needs.

[badboy16z]

Wow a bunch of indoctrinated kids protesting against education cuts that never went to them in the first place. If you look at the last 40 years and the amount of money spent on each student, you find that the more money , the worse the grades. Sometimes we all have to be adults and stop spending our future grandchildrens money and work with the money we have. Im with the founding fathers, the less of a public sector job force, the more I am happy. Time for private sector work!

[ahv10865]

Students walkout? They don't do anything in school anyway. My children are homeschooled. My children in a government school? NO WAY. The future will prove we don't need half the teachers we have. If a child can read, they can learn. NJ Taxpayers are paying an extrememly high price per hour for a babysitting service.

[RiseAbove300]

@ahv10865

I can read, but I am terrible at math and needed a teacher's help all 4 years of high school.

I can read, but it took me years to grasp the beauty of Shakespeare and the wonder of Ancient Rome and Greece. All that with the help of teachers. If it were up to me on my own, I wouldn't be doing what I do now...Teaching

[TheOriginalRebelhope]

next time we do something like this we dont tell pemberton cuz they r to violent

[Durdenhood2007]

Gov. Christie, all the way from Oregon, I salute you, sir! The man has got some balls, has anybody else seen that town hall video where he tells 'Rita Wilson' to get a different job? God DAMN that was awesome.

[littlesongbird1]

@Durdenhood2007 I love that video. Teachers like her were why I didn't finishing my teaching degree and my job as a private tutor is why I am going back. She does not represent all teachers but the teachers who act like her really need to open their eyes. You think you are underpaid and overworked go somewhere else.

I work part time in retail. If I marched up to my boss or a customer and said something like what she said I would be fired!

[annboylyn]

Thank God the kids woke up.You do not know you are getting hit unless you feel the punch. Yes to charter schools yes to vouchers, Yes to home schooling Hey Teachers take a raise free and leave the kids alone. ....... All and All we are just another brick in the wall Ron Paul 2012

[gottchem3]

Hey students -Get a job and pay some taxes!

[MSavage59]

Chistie is making things better not worse

[msugrl2010]

@MSavage59 My mom and 3 of my aunts r losin jobs cause of Christie. Their are 50 of them losin their jobs in my school district. Add that number 2 all other districts that are outsourcing. He ruining middle class families. If u r governor, u should show off skills you claim to have. Don't do the expected. Put policies in place so that jobs r saved. He's takin easy way out. Thats okay though cuz ppl struggle 2 to feed their families, but as we can all see he is EATING!

[MWChase]

@msugrl2010 Is this response serious? If so you must be a prime example of "no child left behind". YOU FAIL

[msugrl2010]

@MWChase First of all I don't joke when it comes to people's lives. To your other comment, No, I am not a prime example of "no child left behind." That is the bs that Bush implemented to pretend to show others that he cared about the students of this country. Why must I be a prime example of NCLB? Is it because I commented in slang? I'm sorry but You Tube only gives you a certain limit on characters and that's why I wrote the way that I did. You don't know me so don't tell me what I am!!!!!!!

[surgedark]

@msugrl2010

Oh shut the hell up.

If we decide to go the liberal way like you dumbass students agree with, we will ALL be bankrupt living in the streets due to no money.

If we take these cuts, face hard times now, the road will be easier ahead. But idiots like you want everything to be easy all at once, and you never think what will happen if we keep spending and raising taxes.

[msugrl2010]

@surgedark NO HUNNY, YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!!!! And don't blame what were going through on liberals, you can thank your buddy Bush!! He left this country a mess and now Obama has to clean it up. I understand that things shouldn't be easy and I don't want my taxes raised either but if it's between that and saving jobs, sorry too bad I'm choosing for them to raise my taxes. How doyou expect the economy to get any better if all these people will be losing their jobs? So do't tell me to shut up!!!!

[surgedark]

@msugrl2010

Except it wasn't Bush who caused the recession, it was due to the reinvestment community act which forced banks to give loans out to everyone, even those unable to pay it back, which over time led to tons of unpaid mortgages, destroying the housing market and eventually leading to the recession.

Jimmy Carter was the one who created it, Bill Clinton enforced it aggressively, Bush actually TRIED to investigate it, but failed.

less taxes=more profit for businesses=MORE JOBS!

(Continued from last post)

If taxes are higher, people will naturally spend less, which will hurt economic growth. How come during the early recession of the 1980's, when Reagan drastically lowered taxes, the recession ended quickly, economic growth was very high?

You have been brainwashed, taxes do not preserve jobs, gov't spending doesn't preserve jobs, the private sector does. The gov't isn't a business, it isn't meant to employ people, the private sector is made for that.

@msugrl2010 Go screw yourself. Bush did this. Bush did that. Is that all you code pink bitches have to offer. Where is the evidence linking directly the Bush administration and his policies to the recession. Even the infamous Saturday Night Live skit with the Pelosi speech indicated that Bush tried many times to reform Fanny/Freddie. They are the root cause of this. Stop your stupid liberal talking points. Do some fucking research

@msugrl2010 Excuse me...your mom and aunts are loosing jobs because the teachers union refused to take a pay freeze so they could keep them so an administrator fired them. Not his fault. You also believe media hype which any one with an IQ higher than a 3 year old can you tell you not to believe. That my friend and that alone is why I know that you are an example of no child left behind.

all you people in new jersey wanted this guy. now you got him. can't say i didnt see this happening.

[verchow1]

@cjm608 Yeah we still want him. The hard working people of New Jersey are tired of seeing their tax money go to minority communities and teacher unions without any positive results. Its not fair that minority student in an abbot school district receives $20,000 a year while a middle class student receives $7,000 a year. It class warfare and reverse racism at its finest.

[cjm608]

@verchow1 this is an interesting comment you made about minority students. it proves my point about all the nonsense in that state. i lived there for about 15 years and the amount of corruption was staggering. i also think you should fact check before you start trying to make baseless points. good luck and i hope you get what you want.
