@BlameRepublicans Tell me, how do you pay off total debts to banks composed of PRINCIPLE + INTEREST when the entire money supply is only compsed of the PRINCIPLE of bank loans? Which party is responsible for allowing our monetary system to be built on the foundation of a mathematically unservicable contract? Both parties enjoy spending money that never existed and then taxing the working people to reel that money back in plus INTEREST. There is no Dem vs Repubs, its partisans vs America

this is my favorite plug, i have seen bill maher has done on is his show

@msaoichan Yeah, we do. To run our own freaking lives and not have the government do it for us. Most of us, anyway. There's always the packs of dingbats that want to live off the government, but most don't. The propagandist in chief and all his marxist pals, like Maher, think we should all just shut up and take our medicine though. WE are the governments employers.

@mgsfan15

Although If what I've seen so far is anything to go by, I'd say many of the Yanks have no idea what their own interests are.

@Neosaigo I think we are smart enough to vote for our own interests. The government doesn't get to decide what our interests are.

[mgsfan15]

@Neosaigo There you go with your 'the people need to be more educated to vote' talk. You know, since we are all too stupid to vote for our own representatives, then wouldn't the geniuses like you be better off living in some European or middle-eastern country?

And I'd say voting against a man who hates the country he lives in is a pretty good judgement.

This use of this video is what we call "out of context", or as FOX news call it "journalism".

[Neosaigo]

@mgsfan15 Actually what he said was people should vote for people coincide with their own economic interest.

It is because some keep voting against their self interests, the politicians think they can get away with anything if they just cater to the people on social issues.

The simple fact is politicians are reactive to what people want, if the majority were more well educated and vote on reason instead of emotions, the politicians will also get better since they want to win elections.

Ohhhhhh I get it now. Everyone is too stupid to know what they want, and we should just hand over the reigns to the idiots in the government. It all makes sense now!!!... If we lived in N. Korea, that is. Maher, I hope someone shoots you in the kneecap.
