Socialism for the Rich - Final Cut

The French philosopher Jean Jacques said "The rich form governments to steal from the poor." This video explains how the rich use the tax system to steal our money and use it to benefit the rich. While ordinary folks live under capitalism, the rich enjoy the benefits of state socialism. The new $700 billion welfare program is designed for bankers, hedge fund thieves and wealthy stockholders. Homeowners who are being foreclosed are told about the virtues of capitalism. The $3 trillion war in Iraq is socialist program designed to benefit the rich stockholders of oil companies while ordinary Americans pay the tab. When ordinary Americans seek health care for children, they are told they are evil socialists. And so it goes.

I know this has nothing to do with this video but are you against a fair tax instead of the income tax?

@ussseaw0lf dude, I knew people are in poverty. They don't have HDTV . So what about cable? Everyone has cheap cable. America's poverty isn't like Africa's.lol

You are a Hard Data man. Do you have any specifics to offer readers? Actually, my analysis of American Imperialism is fairly standard history. I guess history is different in the ROTC building.

I now see you bonafides. If you use the same scholarship in economics that you use with the wars, then I'm afraid you'll always wonder why the world doesn't behave like you think it should.

The problem with you is not ignorance; it's that so much of what you know, isn't true.

You and yours do death. Stop kidding yourself and try to get over your post infantile hypnosis.

Are you serious? Am I really the first to refer to all invader, colonizers in Iraq war criminals who kill for cartels to steal resources and attack the world in the name of world hegemony. Certainly, Justice Robert Jackson would consider you a war criminal. Supreme Court Judge Jackson was sent to Nuremberg as a prosecutor and another time as a judge. Jackson said the greatest war crime is to invade another country. You and your comrades have mass murdered over 2 million Iraqis.

I have never heard of her in the field of economics. When did she get her Nobel Prize? At any rate, the statement is absurd. For one, you say that people in America don't realize they are poor until their houses get destroyed; as though the agent of destruction has no part.

You can have these opinions without my rancor, but you have to come up with real logic. Even people who agree with your final destination would cringe at your arguments. So please stop peddling 2nd hand ideas.

Nobel Prize winner Mariread Maguire grew up in the poverty of Ireland and when she traveled to America a few years ago, she said she had never seen such poverty as in America. As the great Socialist, Professor Michael Harrington wrote in his book "The Other America," the poor are unseen because they do not see themselves. Poverty in America is seen only when there is a tornado or hurricane.

The Navy paid for my undergraduate degree through the University of Pennsylvania NROTC; a bastion of liberalism in Philadelphia. I attended Drexel University. I do finance targeting in Iraq.

I don't know your bonafides but I cannot understand how you thought that Friedman's "assumption" was MV=PT; it was MV=PQ. You think roads are the most basic service of government, when justice and rule of law is the reason for government. There are many errors in your posts and videos.

I find it a little disconcerting that you use your free speech so loosely while calling me, a US Naval Officer in Iraq, a colonizer. Why do the Iraqis thank me so much for the free speech they just received, but you choose to call me those things with it? You take a lot for granted.
