Why the FUCK are people clapping for this?! Why are people so stupid?

I kinda wish Obama was a Communist, in a way. Americans don't seem to understand how capitalism works at all. At least if he were a pure Communist, we might have a legitimate economic system. What we have right now is becoming quite literally Fascism - a marriage of the government and business. This is utterly corrupt, and anyone who suggests that a certain group be exempt from taxes should be run out of office with metaphorical pitchforks. This guy doesn't understand economics or politics.

Florida does NOT have an income tax. Their taxes come from property taxes and sales tax. So if a rich person lives in an average priced home and doesn't buy a lot of stuff, they are not going to pay a lot of state taxes. I notice that Cenk did not put up a chart of the amount of federal taxes paid by these same rich and poor people.

Trickle down economics in the form of geography:

if immigrants all arrive in New York, they will eventually spread out and reach LA.

Taxing the rich in the form of geography:

if immigrants all arrive in New York, and you give them plane tickets to LA and jobs in LA, they will go to LA.

Which one sounds like it'll work better?

The fuc*ing republitards and tea baggers are coming, helppppp!!! It sounds like they're saying, I can barley hear, but it sounds like "give us your wallet or GET OUT"... I'm not sure folks but I think it's time to start gathering all the guns and ammo you can lay your hands on. This is most likely gonna get ugly!!!

[CComb501]

OMG we are so fuc*ed.Is there anybody in the middle class that will stand with me in 2012 and put a stop to this bullshit?Down with Prick Scott.Thanks asshole for nixing the bullet train you brain dead retard!That money was granted by the Federal Government(our income taxes dipshit)and you had no right to give it to another State. It was not YOUR money. You do not represent Florida's best interest.You should be impeached.You skinhead NAZI son of a bitch!! Kiss my Floridian Ass!!! Go to hell!!!

[Kearnspalmbay]

Goddamnit Cenk!!! How many times do the sane people of Florida have to tell MSNBC!!! We didn't vote for this monster DIEBOLD VOTING SYSTEMS DID! And when he breaks out of Florida politics he'll be on the MF republican ticket in 2012 with Donald Trump!!! MSNBC WAKE THE F'UP! This sh)t is coming your way in 2012!!!

@dEdGrimley Well you could convince your neighbours . Not to vote for republicans who so said care so deeply about the budget . But don't want to increase taxes on the rich.

Convince people around you that these guys are frauds.

So that next time around we don't lose the chamber of representatives to liars.

@dEdGrimley If we have no government interference in business then how can we be certain that the private sector will behave with absolute morality at all costs. Once they can absolutely 100% guarantee americans that they have no greed in them whatsoever, then they can do their business without government interference. We don't have to have a marriage between business and govt. but there should be someone watching for another AIG in the making...

[dEdGrimley]

@TOTCD

I don't really see how else you're going to convince these clowns how... clownish they are, without resorting to hyperbole. That's all they do.

[TOTCD]

@dEdGrimley Well that's called playing their dirty game .

I get what you're saying . But I wouldn't do it man . 

[dEdGrimley]

@TOTCD

If the GOP is going to call Obama and/or the Democrats Communists or Socialists, then they're every bit Fascist, assuming we're going down the, "You're one extreme or the other" route.
