  • But welfare is taken from taxes which could have originally been spent on groceries and rent. So that argument based on welfare spurring on the economy is not a very good one. Welfare essentially does is pay people to not manufacture a good or service. In a capitalist society this is an impediment. Because Capitalism runs on the idea of people being paid for providing a good or service. Welfare on the other hand only pays people for doing nothing.

  • @Empyreanmight You don't understand how much richer the ultra rich are. And the real kicker is that many of them pay almost nothing in taxes. The tax burden in the USA, since Reagan, has been steadily shifted onto middle income earners.

    You want to talk about class war? it's not the poor vs the rich, it's the rich buying seats in congress, and then changing the tax law so that the middle class fight the poor while the rich rob both of them blind.

  • Whats so punk about you?

  • @ginad17 everything

  • Welfare? I know a single guy who has 2 children, he receives about $400 a month in welfare, half is food stamps, the other half is plastic EBT. He's expected to actually "take care" of his 2 children on a budget of $100 a week.This won't even cover rent. This is a failed system, welfare is a joke, let alone the root of our problems.

    Our masters, have failed to stick to any sort of budget, yet we are FORCED to budget, of hit the streets. It's about time "the ones in charge" hit the road.

see all

  • I'm new as of tonight and this was probably my 12th or 15th video of yours I've watched.Well,*sniffle*I love you man.I'm gonna share this one on FB,but I don't know if any of my 300 plus "friends" will watch it.I think they've all unsubscribed from me???I dunno,but I'll put it up.

  • The amount of individual income tax paid steeply declined by $166 billion, twice the decline from 2007 to 2008. Nationally, average effective income tax rates were at their lowest levels since the IRS began tracking them in 1986. The average tax rate for returns with a positive liability went from 12.24 percent in 2008 to 11.06 percent in 2009.

  • @Empyreanmight Like Congressmen

  • Great video and awesome points. my only problem is you cant say capitalism is the problem even though you use symptoms of a Corporatism based economy. Corporatism is the reason we have problems because it allows the favoritism of the Rich. the average worker cant do shit because corporations fuck up we have to save them we fuck up we get canned and possibly homeless. Since the little guy has no market power corporations have all leverage. we cant go against them because we need the jobs

  • Too many fallacies, too few characters.

    The most persistent economic fallacy: if the government pays people in government jobs programs or welfare, then they'll spend that money and that will make economic growth through facilitating the velocity of money. If we print money and give it to 40% of the nation's people who aren't involved in any productive jobs, 100% of the nation's people are using goods that 60% of the nation has produced. Spending doesn't provide wealth, more goods does.

  • thank-you!
