@g4macdad how much … @g4macdad how much is spent per month on private insurance each month? have you looked at you check stubs lately? do the math. what you put in – plus what your company puts in – times 50 million people just like you equals how much? the people working at insurance companies know a good thing when they see it
The TOP 10% pays … The TOP 10% pays the taxes in America. The bottom 80% only holds 7% of the money. How can you TRY to convince people that they need” LOWER” taxes in that 90%?
We need WAGE parties FIRST. Cutting taxes on the rich creates MORE GREED, not higher wages. History CLEARLY shows us this.
If you disagree BRING DATA or stay quite. Propaganda is for dummies.
@g4macdad,
Okay, … @g4macdad,
Okay, for the second time, I am not right wing or left wing… etc… I am not going to be part of a yelling contest and name calling debate… like I said, I will discuss this privately in peace, where data will be supplied.
Do you know who … Do you know who funds these “TEA” parties? Let me give you a hint: GIANT CORPORATIONS. Guess who funds the GOP? A GIANT HEALTH INSURANCE CORPORATION.
@zenyork The TRUTH … @zenyork The TRUTH is, Paul is in the white house RIGHT now, and instead of preaching to the GOP that he belongs to, he is spending TONS of money on YouTube selling himself to get a cushier job. If he was REALLY opposed to the current corporatism, he would take it up with the biggest purveyors of it. HIS PARTY.
@zenyork I KNOW we … @zenyork I KNOW we don’t have Capitalsim and so does Obama. Try reading his books some time and you will see why he mocks the “TEA” parties. You are saying that LESS regulation will make our problems disappear. You say smaller government will solve our problems. You also say Cap and Trade will cause loss of jobs. You like to talk about ideologies and emotions WITH NO data to back anything you say up, JUST LIKE Bush, Paul McCain and every other member of the GOP.
@g4macdad
… @g4macdad
Capitalism? We have Corporatism. Big difference, remember that. I know you mean well, but you don’t have any grasp of real capital or the U.S. Constitution. A mixed economy that politically supports the corporatocracy is NOT in the benefit of the goodwill of the citizenry.
Recommended readings:
US Constitution
Ron Paul “The Revolution, a manifesto”
Ayn Rand “Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal”
Henry Hazlitt “Economics in One Lesson…”
Ludwig von Mises “Human Action”
@g4macdad
The … @g4macdad
The REALITY of America is the Constitution. Where in the Articles or the Bill of Rights do you get the slightest hint of support for a Big Centralized Government model? …You don’t.
Like I said before, try reading Paul’s book, “The Revolution.” Also, try reading (or rereading) the U.S. Constitution, namely the Bill of Rights and Article 1, section 8.
In addition, Dr. Paul is part of the republican party because the Libertarian party never gets media attention. Its called strategy.
@g4macdad
… @g4macdad
Anti-Obama? I don’t really care about Obama. I care about the constitution. When I noticed that he passed legislation that infringed upon the constitution, I began to question and investigate his motives.
As for politics and politicians, they are all under the pressurized control of the corporatocracy; meaning both right and left are controlled (i.e. they’re illusory).
As for being historically educated, I would gladly hold a private discussion with you and we could discuss ideas…
@g4macdad
Okay, go … @g4macdad
Okay, go read Ron Paul’s book “The Revelation.” He talks about everything you just touched upon. Also, I am not republican, like you seem to be suggesting. Plus, you do not know who I am. I am just a voice on YouTube, you should calm down.
Evidence=Fact=Truth.
As long as we have … As long as we have a right-wing system 80% of our population will NEVER be heard.
All of Ron Paul’s propaganda is simply more of the Right-wing rhetoric that has caused our global collapse. If we do not ensure that workers earn a wage that allows them to survive and buy housing, this economic turmoil will NEVER end.
This will ONLY ever happen when we move MILES to the left. If this means larger Government, so be it.
Ron Paul knows this has NOTHING to do with the size of government and EVERYTHING to do with bribery. Anyone who belongs to the GOP would lose their job immediately if we FINALLY abolished bribery. Ron Paul included.
His vague ideology is a smokescreen so we don’t notice that the top 20% holds 93% of the wealth and the bottom 80% holds 7%. That is 80% of our population, THE ONES WHO ACTUALLY DO THE WORK, hold 7% of the wealth.
@zenyork WOW are … @zenyork WOW are you ignorant! You talk about being educated and studying history, then you say NOTHING educated or historical? Instead you spew some kind of anti-Obama propaganda.
Between 1949 and 1979, the inflation-adjusted average hourly wage for production workers rose 75 percent, from $9.00 to $15.78. Since 1979, the average production-worker wage has risen only 2 percent, from $15.78 to $16.11.
Read Ron Paul’s book, “The Revolution.” If you are not educated enough yet, then study the historical relevance of what he is saying, then read his book. He is a scholar in his own right. Plus, Obama should not be president, constitutionally. He has chosen himself to be head of the UN’s security council, which is unconstitutional according to Article 1, Section 8. (And no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall… accept…office…from…any foreign state.
All the people who … All the people who dismiss Ron Paul… perhaps you should READ on the historical relevance of what he discusses. Or, simply, go READ his book, “The Revolution.”
@g4macdad It’s not … @g4macdad It’s not a sales pitch. There are people who want individual liberty, and one of them is Ron Paul, who happens to be in Congress.
The whole “small” … The whole “small” government thing is a sales pitch. Why would a politician care how big government is? Just come back to reality for pete’s sake.
*
If you are so cynical to believe that Obama is part of some big scheme to rob taxpayers then claim to be loyal and trusting of Ron Paul, you have a severe deficit in logic somewhere.
Why were you initially so offended by my Glenn Beck comment before, Now you embrace it? He is an “Entertainer” you know and everything he says is PURE fantasy LOL.
Also, it shouldn’t be a surprise that Glen Beck says similar views as Ron Paul and me. We have a right wing mindset but not all of our views are the same. For example, I am anti war and pro abortion as well as other things that separate me from being a Republican like Beck.
Value of currency is also based on international trade and the inflation, not taxes. I’d go on more but it takes more to explain than the character limit youtube provides.
@g4macdad
I’m not … @g4macdad
I’m not looking at extremes or propaganda. I am fully aware that Democrats and Left Wingers aren’t looking for death panels or total government take over like the Republican claim.
However, facts are facts. A Laissez-faire and small government has been proven in the past over and over again it has been superior to socialist type governments. Even China with its free market reforms in 1970s led to an immediate increase in market growth rate.
@nticaric
He can … @nticaric
He can claim whatever he wants. His views on things like abortion as well as other things make him a Republican/Conservative whether he likes it or not.
It is absolutely absurd that we have SO much propaganda and spin, that there are people spreading GOP propaganda WHO DON’T EVEN KNOW IT. Look up the term “Left Wing” on YouTube and you get page after page of PURE unadulterated Propaganda.
Go turn on AM talk radio and you hear Glenn Beck saying the exact same thing as YOU and Ron Paul. HE IS REPUBLICAN and always has been.
As for taxes, GIVE ME A BREAK. Look up: “Howard Zinn on class war and taxes”.
