FUCKING STAND UP AND FIGHT, STOP BEING A BITCH AND FIGHT OBAMA!

I bet when Obama goes to buy a new car, he offers sticker price and negotiates up from there.

@calimar28 Really? Everything you said is not only easily disputable, it's false.

Multinational Corporations pay about $0 in taxes every year, but get subsidies from the US. What money did they pay?

You may not have many black owned factories, but the rest of the world does. Kinda doesn't help that they wouldn't have been able to even own a factory for a lot of US history.

@Brandt761 man totally agree with you and it is good to know that there are people like you out there. I checked @calimar28 channel and clearly he is a racist prick. He is against everyone that is not white and in a very despective way. People like this is what has keep this country from growing into the powerhouse it can be. Man, keep fighting, we cant let this prehistoric fools take control of our futures. This country is going into a civil war soon if this dont change.

[Brandt761]

@Atrofia2 maybe he is, maybe his isn't. Fact is, his views are all too pervasive in some parts of the world population, and I'd like to disabuse as many as possible, or at least try. More importantly, I hope that anyone who is on the fence about any of this will see who has the better argument. In order for that to happen, there needs to _be_ an argument. It's why Obama looses to the republicans. He doesn't make one.

[Brandt761]

@calimar28 oh, and another thing. No one, and I mean NO one get rich without making use of other people's labor, in one form or another. Don't you think those other guys deserve a break?

[Atrofia2]

@calimar28 when 1% of the people control 40 something % of the economy, there is something wrong. They take the money from this economy and spend it in a cheaper country without paying taxes. This is draining the economy because they dont spend the money here. They should pay taxes for that money they spend somewere else.

[Atrofia2]

@Brandt761 man dont waste your time whit this guy. He is hopeless. Is the same shit in all the video comments section. Clearly he doesnt know a shit how things work in the real world or maybe he is from that 0.1 % that doesnt have to dig deep to see how he is going to pay all his debts at the end of the month. Maybe he is a 13 years old kid with a new laptop " havent check his profile" at least his comments can pass as those from a 13 year old spoiled kid.

I love how the two thumbed up responses from Republicans are just them yelling out curse words and childish insults, as opposed to any kind of intelligent, well thought out response. Tea-party debate tactics 101. Volume over facts any day. *sigh*.

[Brandt761]

@calimar28 so let me ask you something. Do you have any idea how low taxes are right now, compared to 50 years ago? Or compared to the rest of the world? Do you think it's even just slightly possible that without tax revenue, you can't run a country (there is no developed country where taxes are extremely low). Do you think money grows on trees? Do you think roads build themselves? What about schools? Hospitals?

This has nothing to do with liberals, and everything with what is necessary.

[calimar28]

@Brandt761 Oh, 'lets raise taxes". Wonderful plan by the liberals.
