  • Please tell me Newt Gingrich on what your ideas on working should be cause, obviously you've never worked, me and my mom and my aunty are lower class please tell me how to run my life, when the person doesn't know what being poor is. I'm voting for Ron Paul, this guy is crazy.

  • I just saw this on Panorama! The bit where Cenk gets really pissed! First Ana on BBC 3 and now Cenk on BBC 1.

  • Anywhere else in the western world this guy would get laughed out of town and ostracized. In the US he is a potential president. Americans, how on earth did you let people like this near your offices of power?

  • so messed up

  • No student at my school dares go to the bathrooms. By second hour, it's been destroyed and a Poweraid bottle has been shoved down each toilet.

  • @shadowstorm1989

    It's born of a reliance on emotion rather than reason

    I would have liked to have learnt the value of money when I was younger. Do-gooders have done so much harm ..but at least they feel good.

  • You know there's a problem with the nations work ethic when the so-called "poor" can turn their nose up at a legitimate, paying job. Kids doing janitorial work is no more demeaning or degrading than flipping burgers at a fast food restaurant. We all started at the bottom, why is it so bad to let kids get a head start and learn young?

  • @270biggame Why wouldn't it be child labor? Minimum wage is irrelevant. 

  • Sing it brother

  • @leeknivek egsactly but its not child labor if the are not being forcedand are paid at least minimuim wage

  • The Young Turks make me wanna puke. I love how they take the words "They can be PAYED by doing work afterschool" into "All blacks should clean the white kids turds." Pure amazement.
