Peter Schiff Pwned By Occupiers In Street Debate

The idiot probably went there to play the peasant card to try and scam more people, but unfortunately his big mouth got the better of him and he starts debating occupiers on the street - tries to preach his idiotic Koch demagoguery - and promptly gets his derriere pwned by a few knowledgeable occupiers.

taxes were 91% for the top 1% in the early 20th Century. Peter Schiff is full of shite

[SchittReport]

@LouieDaProtectionist

exactly and around 70% after WW2.

"free markets" - what a joke - as if corporations or your opponents will play fair.

There were no slaves in the north.

That is hilarious. NY the state he is in right now....was a confederate state. In the north...obviously.

The south end of wall street was where slaves were actually auctioned off. He is literally standing a few feet away from where slaves were sold.

The depths of the ignorance of these people never ceases to amaze me.

@rober1236jua He uses Ford as an example, but he forgets that Henry Ford actually believed in paying his workers a living wage...something too many employers do not believe in, hence their greed, and not the "greed" of the workers.

A dual citizen and born from a different country. I served my country in the US Armed Forces and believe in everything from the US Constitution and Founding Fathers.... I am not rich and come from a bankrupt family. If my family had not worked under the table and avoided taxes...we would be on the street when i was in High School. Taxes destroy the Middle Class no doubt. But I am studying business and there is nothing wrong with Capitolism, Entrepreneurship or Free Market Competition.

I agree with some of what he's saying, but the problem isn't regulation itself, but the fact that the government is regulating the economy in a way that helps the corporations instead of the workers. And the bit about no minimum wage and getting rid of unions is INSANE-- wages are too high so they can't afford to hire more people?? So what, we're supposed to share a single minimum wage salary between 8 people and that will be enough to live on???

peter schiff learned from the best, his father who today sits in a US prison sentenced to 12 years for falsifying tax returns...now ask yourself, is this a man you can honestly trust?

[paperboy438]

@settone03 wrong, single person filing this year that makes under 80k taxable doesn't have to pay over 25%. taxes should be redone tho

[StuartHughes2990]

I'm a libertarian with a big heart. I'm tens of thousands in student debt, but I don't want socialism. The government is responsible for my student debt, and I don't trust corporations, but I trust the government less because I can't take my business to another government.

Do any of ya'll know where Peter Schiff's dad is at right now? protesting... in prison.

[evisceratednation]

That says it all "nothing immoral about greed" in other words it's ok to be greedy.
