This guy is awesome - he had the guts to go out there and meet the 99%. Unfortunately, the 99% were represented by a woman who does not have enough manners to realize that conversations are between two people - you talk, then I get to talk. Does Peter make a lot of money? Yes. Does he pay a lot of taxes? Yes. Do we need a real conversation about the responsibility of the "haves" towards the "have nots"? Yes. But is isn't going to happen until we have civility on both sides.

@blehman18066 There is no civil way to rob someone, in order for that business model to work you need your victim to be on the ground in a fetal position. I think that is what OWS is going for..

[unreal513]

These idiots do not realize that Peter is on their side lmao........

[marksuave25]

Peter is the only rich guy who would have the guts to go there and talk to the 99% protesters. Good job Peter!

[genefury75]

peter is right why put more tax on the rich they are already paying their share we want to keep the rich rich they are the ones doing the hiring if they raise his taxes he will fire people if the 99% would what the rich is doing maybe they could stop complaining about they are always broke get of your lazy asses and get to work do some investing in assets

[thehotshirtguy2008]

@DiSaStaCaPiTaLisM People talk about how the capitalists are stealing other peoples money. But private buisness does not have an enforcement arm like the IRS. If you CHOOSE to buy a product you can. If you CHOOSE to work for a company you don't like you can. If the government says "Give us this much money."... well you don't have a choice.

[mason72518]

Just because you earn your way into the 1% does not mean you surender your rights.

[AboveDeception]

Stupid commie slag, these people need to experience a forced labor camp!

[TheCapitalistdog]

lol, she's in the mortgage business. No wonder she doesn't get it.

[ohevshalomel]

Mr. Schiff, can I come and work for you?

[justinld13]

I applaud this guy. Talking some sense into misguided protesters. If only they'd listen..

[DREwestcoast]

look at all these feel-gooders,.... eww

[SPQRImperator]

@LordKaisen Correct.

That's why Marxism is so appealing to losers--why work for your own, when you can just steal it from that successful guy?

This "99%" live in America, therefore they are the true global "1%"--yet they can't see it. Bunch of losers.

"Whaaaaaaa!!! You have money, I want it just because I exist!!!! Whhhaaaa!!!" lol

@robinsl27 It's great, they grabbed the most hostile parts and ignored the parts where he had everyone agreeing with him and understanding his point about government.

[ichkanns1]

Real experience. That's what he has and they don't.

[caseofthefunnies]

hold on, lemme ask you a question, hold on hold on, lemme ask you a question, hold on

[forthelulz87]

Wow. People are tards.

[robinsl27]

Anderson cooper did show this part of the interview on his show.

[sadxxwednesday]

The 1% are just like us, only they throw way better weddings...

[kcozgrove]

That woman is an idiot.... "you should want to share your success"???? EVERYONE IS OUT FOR THEMSELVES

[kenner311]

I know that people claim that the rich "don't need" the extra wealth (which is why they should pay more) but where in the Constitution does it say the government has the right to confiscate excess? With that kind of right, the government could take wealth from almost all classes. We don't need cable, internet, cars, air conditioning, but as a free society it's not the government's business to worry about such things.

[CamNM1991]

Being louder and repetitive doesn't make you smarter people I hate that let the man talk.

[LordKaisen]

I employ 150 people, what about you?

Best line to throw at these guys. Sounds like they want to live the same way millionaires do but work less for it.

[maxfirepower]

@tonyg0123 I really want an airplane. I've always been partial to the old DC-3's. I'd also like to be an inch taller while I'm waiting for my airplane to be delivered.

Hope and change, baby!

@trufbetold

yea AMT lower tax limit has to be increased its chocking the middle class.

also the marriage trap needs to be adressed

[trufbetold]

As a country, I think we really shouldn't be having this conversation. The government is forcing us to attack each other on taxes because everybody is being taxed too high already mostly through inflation, and they want more. This is what happens when a country over extends itself on credit, then pledge their own tax payers as collateral to foreigners.  If they don't DRASTICALLY cut spending, lower taxes and let prices fall, a Tea Party or OWS will be the least of this countries troubles.

"We are not individuals, we are a country, we are not individuals". - That really sounds creepy (if you know what I mean)

[rockon6191]

God that woman is an idiotic shrew. "Well what does your secretary pay?" She hears one incredibly misleading Buffet quote and actually thinks his secretary must pay more than 50% of her taxes. Peter Schiff is doing way more for the country than any of these people.

[MrGBPackers11]

Maybe Obama shouldn't be granting loans to European Countries to help fix their economies while ours is still in a shit hole... Did you OWS people ever think about that? Maybe then we wouldn't be $15 trillion in debt and our government could use that money to create jobs.
