  • middle class spend better than gvnt...in houses, cars...but the koch brothers invest in bahammas islands...in so is better this money stay in gvnt...for gvnt spend in bridgs on minnesota...

  • Sadly this is my sorry ass Senator. He's not only a traitor (Vietnam) but has no clue what small business & entrepreneurs contributes to this country!  This video just shows you the control this administration wants! Less government!!

  • Comment removed

  • Kerry - don't whimp out - OPPOSE BARACK TAX CUTS FOR THE RICHEST 2%!

  • stockniche(dot)com

    Great WEBSITE that teaches you how to INVEST, helped me a lot.

  • How do you pay for tax cuts? Spending cuts! One nation under god and one tax rate! Democrats scream about equality when it is convenient then turn around and commit economic discrimination as a policy? We have to stop punishing success! But the self loathing left see's that as "fair"?

  • freedom

  • And where does he keep his yacht?

    And why?

  • This mans repugnant, oppressive attitude should be an example of government out of control!

  • No wonder he lost, he thinks the government is more responsible than people.

  • Here's something from Animal Farm, scary:

    Do not imagine, comrades, that leadership is a pleasure. On the contrary, it is a deep and heavy responsibility. No one believes more firmly than Comrade Napoleon that all animals are equal. He would be only too happy to let you make your decisions for yourselves. But sometimes you might make the wrong decisions, comrades, and then where should we be?

  • "They're FREE to go to invest anywhere that they want."

    I can't believe that he so blatantly opposes FREEDOM.

    Actually, sadly I can.

  • this is malicious, cant you see how clearly they edited his words i feel as though it is much more productive to listen to the entire argument. i just lost respect for jim demint, cmon you gotta be better that this

  • @nikhilmalik62 i hear the entire clip! john kerry is a joke! just like all libs!!!!!

  • Kerry is an expert at spending your money.

  • John Kerry was one of the most moderate politicians that America has seen in a long time. He was not a flip flopper rather he changed his views to what he saw best fit for the country. He had true virtue and in long overdue for respect after President Bush and his followers robustly turned Kerry from one of the most decorated soldiers in the United States to an enemy to those he once served. So I ask to all who discredit Kerry, is it because of him being a Democrat/what you hear or his values

  • Kerry is a moron, and so are you!

  • yea you can't trust those greedy bastards with their own money, who they think they are anyway? You earned your money but you can't be trusted with it.

  • my god this is frightening

  • You people are retarded. What Kerry is saying is true. Fucking dumbasses he is saying that tax cuts won't solve any fucking problem. Jesus christ people think

  • And I supposed giving bailouts to all the banks and the stimulus package will too. Wow you must not believe in liberty or freedom in America if you agree that the government should tell people how to spend their hard earned dollars.

  • Your a moron too!

  • Kerry is an ass....

  • Kerry and his protege Barack Obama think government is the answer to everything.

  • I'm still disappointed in this guy for not standing up for himself well enough to convince people not to vote for George W. Bush.

  • Thus you must make US attractive for investment. Taxation and regulation are primary deterrents for investment. You can look overseas were investment goes and you will find it all goes to countries which have little or no taxation and regulation. So by example you can assume this common sense conclusion.

  • Skull & bones whore.....

  • Hey Kerry and DeMint:

    rWE DO NOT WANT, DID NOT SIGN UP FOR WITH OUR SOCIAL COMPACT ( THE US"CONSTITUTION") NOR NEED THE GOVERNMENT REGULATING OUR MONEY, THE MARKET NOR DAY TO DAY LIFE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, NOR FORM, OTHER THAN COLLECTION OF TAX FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE. WE DO NOT NEED NOR WANT THE FED. KINDERGARDENING OUR LIVES

  • Kerry is a total brain-dead looser.

    The only 1 thing he did smart was to marry into money since he's incapable of making an honest buck.

    For those that think the Democrats are "saving the country" just wait until you get:

    > Higher taxes, especially local taxes

    > Higher fees

    > Higher gas pump prices

    > Higher food prices

    > Less freedoms

    > More government control

    > More Czars!

  • Yes he is correct, only if you are from a communist or socialist party.

  • "...they're free to invest anywhere that they want..." Yeah, because we wouldn't want Americans to be free to spend the money they earned themselves. Let's give it to government because they're always fiscally responsible. They always invest in America (if you ignore the trillions of debt owed to foreign nations.) Democrats are idiots.

  • @alexandermike34 your an idiot tax cuts never work when in a recession cuting money is bad the government is of the us not other countries it always goes back into the country, rich people give them selves bonuses even when they make millions of dollars a year. get your fucking head out of your ass

  • @inlines8master let the gov handle it? lol no thats OK!! corrupt pricks! especially those commie libs!

  • @TheHabit00 how are liberals commies?

  • Have anybody of you read a high school econ textbook, ever?

  • I think that John Kerry was probably discussing the stimulus bill. In this case he is right. Money that is used to fund projects will be spent and will help resuscitate the economy. Money that is used to fund tax cuts will possibly not be invested in which case it will not help out the economy. The stimulous bill is a responce to an emergency. If the money isn't spent, the stimulus bill is essentially pointless. This video is a weak attempt to discredit John Kerry.

  • Glad I dont pay taxes =)

  • dude you pay indirect taxes,in form of high prices

  • At least he's honest.

    Most Democrats will not admit that they don't trust private individuals.

  • Most Americans are idiots and I wouldn't trust them not to wreck a 100 ton hunk of steel in 5 minutes.

  • he's right, of course, but not a populist.

  • That guy might the dumbest man ever (after this president, of course).

  • Maybe the people who get the money can "invest " in items which are helpful in wooing a rich spouse.

    It worked for Kerry.

  • eksdem wrote: "Maybe the people who get the money can "invest " in items which are helpful in wooing a rich spouse.

    It worked for Kerry."

    -----

    I should have said, "It worked for Kerry TWICE."

  • Thank goodness he was never president, but did you know he served in Vietnam?

  • Jane Fonda served in Vietnam too, but it doesn't make her or Kerry any more memorable as being anti-communist.

  • You would think that John FORBES Kerry would know better on economics given the fact that he is an heir to the FORBES fortune! Isn't Steve Forbes a Republican? Didn't he run for president?

  • GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY! Isn't this commie clown getting way too old to be this high on dope while he's at work?

  • And this is why I never liked John "Anybody but Bush" Kerry.

  • John Kerry is an idiot! i was already aware of this though. What's worst is that Obama makes Kerry look conservative. Obama is an anti-capitalist piece of sh__ .

  • With all due respect Senator DeMint.......but this is another "cheap shot" taking the Senator from Massachusetts out of context once again!!.........Excuse me but I didn't see those "tax cuts" for the wealthiest Americans under the Bush Administration being invested in "green jobs" to weed us off of foreign oil......I only saw in increase in HUMMER production from GM which is now asking for another $16.6 bil in "GOVERNMENT" handouts!!!.......Enought of the PARTISANSHIP!!!

  • Conservative stay out of my body and stay out of my greenhouse where i grow my DOPE you stupid IDIOTS. Don't you dare tell me what the fuck i need to smoke. Now BUSH&DICK can go have a burger at (IN&OUT). McCain can go to his rocking chair and SCARY FAILING can go eat some moooose bugers.

    Bababooooooey

  • Kerry is a complete moron. Imagine if he had won. He thinks government can make smarter and better decisions on how OUR money should be spent/invested. Unfuckingbelievable!!!! The nerve of this jerk and all the liberal idiots that are now running the show. This will be a painful lesson to learn.

  • It never seems to amaze me Conservative's BITCH&CRY for small. But there against}ABORTION,PROSTITUTION,­Legalizing DRUGS, EUTHANIA(that's how we had to put my granny to sleep). Typical Conservative hypocrits they wan't small GOV. but there the one's who actually want bigger GOV. but as usual this buffoons try to hide it under the umbrella of family values. Conservatives give me the creeps stupid idiots.

    Bababooey

  • nice grammar, buddy. Must be that excellent public schooling system we have.

  • well said! well said!

  • The struggle of power, between the bureaucrats and the American people.

  • democrats piss me off

  • Me too. But at least I will give them the benefit of the doubt. I think they are sincere. They are idealistic and think this is the way things SHOULD be. They are adolescent and emotional. Once they get older, in terms of experience, they realize the real world consists of prudent practical approaches that depart from the idealistic.

  • I guarantee this dude, John D Student Kerry, has licked some dat fick; he is completely devoid of the reality that at any moment the citizenry could toss this moron out of congress. These guys are too bloated and inflated with hyper egos and little dicks. Bush kicked his ass; he shouldn't have an opinion; he is a loser. I love the fact that I can get on the internet, drunk on red wine, and tell members of the government to lube up and fuck off. America truly is great!

  • yes only in the hands of BIG brother will we do well I hope after the last person with work to offer is taxed out of here like most of our older companys in the tech fields and maufacturing jobs we can all live off them the government.

  • About Americans investing overseas, Senator Kerry. Please dont talk about that to me until you have:

    1.Made Americas corporate tax rate NOT the 2nd highest in the world

    2.Indexed the corporate tax brackets to inflation so that a corporation that only makes $200,000 isnt paying a fourth of it in income tax.

    3.Indexed capital gains to inflation so that people arent being taxed on imaginary gains.

    Talk about a stimulus package and job creator..

  • Kerry is such an asshole.

  • Yep. And don't leave out arrogant adolescent emotional gigolo poseur.

  • I love how people talk about a crumbling infrastructure. Where? Do you mean the tragic bridge collapse in MN? One bridge does not an infrastructure make.

  • wow! kerry really thinks we are all idiots.

  • man hes right .I dont have the smarts to invest MY money not the money the goverment made. I hope soon they will wipe my hide end so I wont have to think about that ether.

  • obamadidit2008 - you are Blago?? Hey guys you all are talking to Blago here "the patriot act, the ability to tap into peoples phones"....

  • So, DeMint, you're suggesting that what we need are more tax cuts for the wealthy? Haven't we tried that already? It's not working out very well, is it? Will more tax cuts for the rich rebuild our crumbling infrastructure?

    Kerry's point is so simple and so obvious and so backed up by the facts of the last several years it shouldn't even be controversial.

  • I think you mean "Kerry is so simple" I hope our freedom survives socialist bedwetters like you.

  • It is true. The rich and ultra-rich class our always gets the Tax Cuts either save the money or invests it in China or Mexico. We have had tax cuts for the Rich for the past 30 years and we are now in a Depression.

  • Comment removed

  • Manu: yeah right, that's why the top 1 % earners of the population earn 19 % of the income but pay 37 percent of the income tax. The top 10 percent pay 68 percent of the tab. Meanwhile, the bottom 50 percent—those below the median income level—now earn 13 percent of the income but pay just 3 percent of the taxes. You are just another zombie, left wing propaganda spewing liar. Keep it up you r destroying our country

  • Fact from my US Social Stratification class in sociology.

    Number of people who adjusted gross incomes greater than $200K who paid zero taxes. It does not include GWB new tax cut for the rich in 2001/02?

    1966/ 155

    1974/ 244

    1980/ 198

    1990/ 1,183

    1999/ 2,525

    Barlett, Donald L.,and James B. Steele. 1994. America Who Really Pays the Taxes. New York: Simon & Schuster.

  • Did the Sociology class explain why this is so? Every other statistic out there, including others in this series of comments, show that the share of tax paid by the top 1% is enormous compared to the rest of taxpayers.

    Maybe the 2,500 number is made up of mostly rich liberal politicians who think they don't have to pay taxes.

    Plus, it's liberals like Kerry who wrote this socially-engineered, convoluted tax code.... under a flat tax you wouldn't have 200k folks paying zero taxes.

  • manu: LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! sociology class? Oh another "great" liberal student trying to tell me...someone in the REAL world how much people pay in taxes. Well sir I have made close to $200k in past years and my tax burden for federal ALONE was about $32,000. You are debating wrong, typical of the left. You are debating who should pay more in taxes. If you over tax the rich or whoever, WE ALL LOSE for that is money that leaves the free market and goes into the hands of the Government.

  • Look at your statement. We've had tax cuts for 30 years, and just now had a significant downturn.... This 30 year stretch has been one of the best economic stretches in human history for America and the world (especially as it relates to the poor - THINK about how many hundreds of millions have been lifted out of poverty across the globe in the past 30 years).

    And it wasn't MORE DAMN GOVERNMENT that made that happen....

  • My statement shows in 1999 that 2,525 Americans that made over $200,000.00 never paid any taxes. Those whatever millions lifted from poverty will be heading back to poverty because of US Federal Reserve Bank's excessive spending that did not match economic growth. Very soon with our wasteful Military and Stimulus spending we will see HYPERINFLATION and how is that going to affect poverty?

  • obamadidit2008...if you know so much, you would know that...your STATE is responsible for infrastructure and roads...dont bring President Jefferson into this...times are so different...you should start asking yourself why President Obama isn't talking more to the business sector...giving them suggestions leading as an executive instead of just signing the orders...maybe its because, the guy doesn't know how to make money(besides printing it!), Obama only seems to know how to ask for it(money)...

  • Shame on you Senator DeMint.

    If you can't figure-out what Senator Kerry is saying, you don't have the mental capacity to serve the good state of South Carolina.

  • theoracledelphi, ha...ha...wonder why she's sniffing her fingers...maybe she smells something? then, she realizes...Kerry's in front of her...not only is Kerry full of SHIT - the guy smells like it too....

  • John Kerry is a pud. No doubt.

    But he's right.  There's no promise that an individual or business will invest money or that they'll invest it in the US.

    That's his point.

  • look, 2 neo-marxists. Kerry and Boxer.

  • theo, better them than 2 neanderthal republicans de mint and vitter

  • can anyone really take this idiot seriously? oh, and I notice Boxer the idiot in the back sniffing her fingers and wearing the same suit she wore the day prior. typical liberal. Then she gets up and walks out on the idiot. i'm sure it isn't because she disagrees with him, she is probably late for her alfalfa sandwich. what a couple losers that mean ZERO to this country. bye, bye Democrats, I'll be glad to see you all go.

  • obamadidit2008 stated: y2k, and what pays for your roads,bridges,educates your children, keeps clean your drinking water,you have to by paying taxes....

    Yes, I agree that the government should provide for these things, but there should be limits to how much gov't intrudes into our lives. I believe there is a need to pay taxes, for the general infrastructure to run our country, and to protect the people, but to subject them to this?I was totally against the bail outs...I think we agree on some.

  • i agree with you on opposing the auto bailout. the g.m. dinosaurs failed to get it through their heads for the past 38 years that they wanted cars with great fuel mileage to the gallon. which is why toyota and honda and even volkswagon with its rabbit did well and we didn't so for mismanagement they didn't deserve one. as for the banks,no one should reward incompetence

  • obamadidit2008---I continue:

    I recall a campaign promise Obama made that his administration would have full disclosure and complete transparency; that the people would have five days to review ALL bills on the internet before he would sign them, yet he has signed several bills without giving the people that opportunity! It's hypocrisy!

  • obamadidit2008...I understand that Obama is our President, but our country wasn't founded on the principals of socialism or fascism, we were founded on a republic!! What Obama is trying to implement is tyranny and fear--not hope! Why scare the people into voting for a stimulus that we, the people, haven't had an opportunity to read and understand for OURSELVES!!

  • well at least you aren't shrill or nasty,thank you. i don't know if obama is trying to implement fear or a tyranny ,those were the results of 8 years of a bush administration.i can understand your concern about the stimus package. but doing nothing scares me more than doing something

  • obamadid: yeah really? Give some examples how Bush imposed Tyranny? Until then you are just another Obama Zombie who pisses themselves when they hear Obama's name

  • the patriot act, the ability to tap into peoples phones, the outing of valerie plame,the abuses at abu graib,the lack of civil liberties of terrorists. even timothy mc vey had the right to a lawyer of his choice and the jury of his peers

  • Timothy McVeigh was an American citizen you idiot

  • he was still considered a terrorist

  • What Kerry is basically saying is next to socialism. He doesn't think we need money unless the gov. gives it to us and makes us use it as they see fit.

    Very unconstitutional. This gov. has gone too far. We the People need to dismantle this gov. and put in one that works.

  • wetweasel accept the fact that mccain and the g.o.p. got a big whuppin' from the american people and that the democrats didn't. 8 years of bush trickle-down got us into this mess, lets hope obama and kerry and other dems get us out of it

  • I can tell you that we definitely elected the wrong person for this job(who I did not vote for BTW) and we will see later how bad this package really is. I don't think McCain was any better either, but we had a chance to get the best president this country would have ever had if people hadn't voted out of their racism.

    Ron Paul was the answer, too late now.

  • Comment removed

  • You're right on Jeannie7432!  Private entities should decide what is best for themselves and where to invest THEIR OWN capital. Government should not ever hold this responsibility.

  • If a society is forgetting moral principle than it cannot enjoy the good benefits of Capitalism.

    And no Senator "Marxism"Kerry more and more Government control is not the answer.

  • Capitalism seems to result in the erosion of moral principle... your argument has no validity

  • where did it go, and where did your free wheeling capitalism of the last 8 years with no controls and regulations get us

  • The idea that homeownership is the birthright of all Americans has nothing to do with capitalism. And people with mortgages they had no hope of repaying is what got us here. Speaking of 'regulation', where was Obama and all these 'regulation lovers' when there was a bill on the floor of the Senate to regulate Fannie and Freddie brought and argued for by the supposed deregulation whores in '05? His help getting that passed would have been great! But what was the Chosen One doing instead? And why?

  • Kerry is so right. the common man cannot be trusted with his money! epecially not the degenerate morons that vote republican and go to church, i mean get told what to do much?

    I'm a proud American but sometimes when I see how you all react I think Bin Laden was right capitalism is not the way the world should be.

  • haha bin ladin is not against capitalism u fucking asshole,in fact muslim countries are more capitalists than america,muslims believe in property rights,they charge no inheritance taxes but your marxist media wont tell u this fact.Osama said he is against socialism look it up i\on wikipedia,so go fuck yourself in the ass with a job like we all working people do!!

  • The people of Massachusetts...have some nerve, to keep voting for this guy...

  • my only complaint against kerry is that he is a dull stiff person. otherwise i'd rather have 10 kerrys to 1 de mint

  • Another "shit for brains" liberal ass.

  • Thomas Jefferson stated it well: A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned — this is the sum of good government.

  • jeannie, jefferson was a product of a much smaller,rural late 18th early 19 th century america. what would he say about an enormous country where everyone wants all the benefits and treats that it can get, but repay nothing but i.o.u.'s

  • I think my head is ready to explode!! The liberal elite, like John Kerry are just showing their true colors (once again)!! We, the people, are obviously too stupid to know how to invest OUR OWN MONEY, since the gov't has been doing such a great job of that lately!! I won't be enslaved!!!!!

  • We should be able to do whatever the hell we want to do with our own money!!! Kerry is an idiot!!

  • tdm, hate to tell you this but when you pay your taxes april 15th it becomes the nations money. i don't like the idea of supporting the iraq war but thats where much of it goes. i don't like the idea of bailing out big auto dinosaurs or big banks either but under bush, that is where much of MY tax dollars went

  • Why cut and paste?

    I want the entire context!

  • Yes! Obama rocks! Oh, wait, this is the change he was talking about?

  • screw liberals and their BS. Obama is a fraud!

  • Why is this guy still in office?

  • Comment removed

  • In summary

    Democrats = Have no faith in the american people.

  • So John, why the long face?

  • kerry is a total douche bag!

  • Marxist leaders dead and alive have to be proud of our Democrats.

  • Define Marxism (without wikipedia)...

  • Its the thought that the money I earn belongs to government. Have you ever filed a tax return?

  • y2k, and what pays for your roads,bridges,educates your children, keeps clean your drinking water,you have to by paying taxes.

  • the thousands of dollars that I pay in city, county, and state taxes. Sales tax on gas, food, and clothing. The federal income tax does not fund any of those things you mentioned. nor is the federal government responsible for roads, bridges, schools or drinking water.

  • y2k, the federal govt. gives money to the state,which gives to cities and towns

  • STFU John Kerry; no one cares if you or the government trusts us with our own money or not. It's our money, and WE should have the right to dictate what we do with it, NOT John Kerry, not the government, but US.

  • I agree with you but the question is, what are you going to do with it? Are you going to give it to your local school to hire more and better teachers, are you going to invest in solar panels or electric cars? Or are you going to give it to Walmart for a T-shirt made in China? Is GMC going to spend billions developing new technologies that will result in less profits for them but a cleaner environment for us? Or will they just keep making new ads to sell us junk that is destroying the planet?

  • Why is this traitor still walking around?

  • "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of OTHER peoples money,... "

    Margarett Thatcher

    British Prime Minister

  • This is some scary shit!! Welcome to the Obama era.

  • We can`t have Americans in charge of investing their money! Give your money to the GOVERNMENT! We will send some of that money to pay for abortions overseas!! You can trust us!! If this wasnt so sad, it would be funny...

  • The inmates are truly in charge of the asylum. Lord help us...no, I don't mean B.O.

  • Does this asshole even listen to himself? If he's so high and mighty, why doesn't he give a billion of his wife's money to the government to "invest"? Win or lose, it's called free market, fuckstick!!

  • DB3D you are such a idiot republican supply-sider. Cutting taxes for the rich just let them put more money in foriegn countries.

  • theoretic..... you just keep banging on that misconception drum

    Drive That Government Mandated Car And Live in that

    Government Mandated apartment when thy give you a job.

    Who Do you think EMPLOYS People you Bran Dead PUNK

    Its the People with the money not the Government.

  • Yo theoretik please wake up & smell the pork!

  • haha, yeah cutting taxes will work, just like...the bush tax cuts worked? Please prove me wrong, please.

  • Only The U.S. Gov't knows how to spend your money......Are we headed toward socialism or what?

  • Since when is DeMint running against Kerry?

  • If I get a tax cut I will surley fly to Cuber to spend it.

    Kerry is an Ass. And Very Stupid.

  • That's right eelzen our empire truly is selfish; the only obvious solution is to have the government be selfish for us.

  • I agree with Kerry...how dare the ignorant, uninformed masses use their money as they see fit. Only the government knows how to do anything. All you free-marketeers are just tools.

  • America people have not handle their money very well.The vast majority of Americans have no savings, high debt, and are one pay check away from being on the street.

    I notice that Jim DeMint, like John Kerry, gets a government paycheck, government health care, and has a government pension plan. Who's fooling who here?

    Also we will spend trillions on Iraq, all of it borrowed, and not one America has been ask to give up a thing. It's embarrassing how totally selfish our empire is.

  • A tax cut to a democrat is like holy water to a vampire.

  • ajax and milktruffle...you are part of the problem. Government does not create jobs, people do when they are left alone. As far as tax cuts working only when the economy is great, you are either a liar or misinformed. Which is it? Kennedy in '61, Reagan, Bush. History shows that tax cuts work . When captain big ears ruins this country and shows us what a real crises is, just remember the drones who put this marxist in office

  • I'm hoping you're just trolling, because history does NOT show that tax cuts work to stimulate an economy. Case in point, the great depression. The most severe economic crisis we have ever faced, and tax cuts didn't cure it; spending under the excuse of war did.

  • milk; FDR did not cut taxes, he raised taxes, that is why the depression lasted almost till the end of WW2. The quickest way out of a depression is a war, due to the fact of such waste, and the need for mass production, it is simple basics which you should know.

  • Hum you are in 2 wars at the moment, and it doesn't seem to help the economy ( i would say the contrary)

  • The Reagan tax cuts, like similar measures enacted in the 1920s and 1960s, showed that reducing excessive tax rates stimulates growth, reduces tax avoidance, and can increase the amount and share of tax payments generated by the rich. High top tax rates can induce counterproductive behavior and suppress revenues, factors that are usually missed or understated in government static revenue analysis

  • Thank you for enlightening me Herr Kerry. Obviously you know best, not us idiots.

  • Notice how he points to himself when he says "Government".

    Can you believe this? I got sick to my stomach when I heard it, then to watch it made it worse.

    This is the beginning of the end of the American Dream... welcome to our nightmare!!

  • Idiots? You said it, not me...

  • Why can't John and the rest of congress understand?

    It's my fucking money, asshat !!

  • He is such a putz!

    Why do they keep sending him back to the Senate???? Duh!

  • Our Congress caused this mess by beating up on the regulators to give loans to poor people. Congress thought this would then result in getting more votes from the poor. Now the people who caused this are seen out front crusading for change...I'm disgusted. I'll never again vote for the incumbent. Favoritism is the only use of power. You got to believe that the lobbyists wrote the bailout laws.

  • what, so far, have the big companies and huge banks done with these huge bush tax cuts, and will continue to do without government regulation?

    invest in foreign sectors and export jobs to increase THEIR profits. this is capitalism, these guys are looking out for number one not the people of this country.

  • John Kerry is just mad, he lost 04 election...

  • "Obama promised during elections."? Are you flippin kidding me? This guy either is a compulsive liar or a bed wetting, sniveling loser that doesn't have a clue. I propose Obammy names his new dog "screwed" because we're all a screwed pooch when this moron kills this great country.

  • The time for revolution is near. I'm buying a gun with what little money I have and joining my local militia. In 10 years everyone will see that it will be another revolution like the one fought in 1776 against the same practices of government which tried to enslave the public with taxes. I hope we can come to our senses before the People revolt. Peace and Liberty

    Give me Liberty or give me Death!

    Long live the Constitution!

    Long live the Republic!

  • hmmm, wonder where Kerry invests his money. I think I should be able to decide where I invest my tax money too.

  • Kerry knows what's up. Sen.DeMint doesn't. The voters have spoken.

  • The government will spend MY TAX dollars on a frisbee golf course, STD prevention, bear DNA etc. Yep. your right Kerry dont give US our money. YOU FREAKIN SUCK

  • What an incompetent idiot Kerry is. Government is not going to INVEST in anything. They are going to waste the money to do nothing more than make government BIGGER. If you want to spur business investment stop taking away their money with taxes.

  • I agree with that

  • poor people don't invest u dumb piece of shit

    THEY need tax cuts in order to pay for their FRICKIN SURVIVAL

  • I think Sen Jim DeMint needs to realise that KERRY IS RIGHT. It's not about trust, people spend their money with a different goal. GOVERNMENT can focus spending to stimulate the economy. Government also has EXPERTS.

    It's NOT ABOUT TRUST.

  • I guess you just enjoy servitude.

    I fact how about you just send ALL your money to the gov't since you think they know what's best for you.

  • Okay then, this economic downfall hits and do businesses make more jobs? No, they get rid of them. Can the government make more jobs? YES. You need more people with jobs so that more money flows, banks feel safe to lend again and lo and behold, the economy is back in business. Its called 'economics'.

  • Government has to take from the productive to create less productive jobs. When you take from the productive, the productive have to cut back. So to create a government stimulated make-work job you have to destroy a productive job.

  • I don't think that's completely true. But to look back historically, it was President Truman's 'wait and see' policy that prolonged the Great Depression and it was huge investment from President Roosevelt and new government funded construction jobs which helped drag America out of depression.

  • President Truman? I think you have your presidents mixed up. Also the great depression lasted until WW2 started for us in 1941. That is what got us out of the depression, not Roosevelt policies
