Comments by "whyamimrpink78" (@whyamimrpink78) on "Trump Brags About Appointing Rich Wall Streeters To His Cabinet" video.

The federal government has been growing for decades. Federal spending as percent of GDP was around 14% after WWII. Now it is around 20% and has been growing steadily. State and local spending has been as well. For decades the rich have been getting richer during that trend. This past election we had two guys, Bernie and Trump, who both said they are concerned about the rich getting richer and average people struggling. Bernie's idea was to expand government even more continuing with the trend. Trump's plan was to reduce the government. One major point Trump brought up, though, was that during that trend politicians have also become richer. Bernie made millions off his book sales and recently bought a third home. Five of the top ten richest counties are in close proximity to DC. There are many millionaires in DC who got rich by being career politicians. Trump won and has promoted people who were not politicians. He is changing the course and draining the swamp. So why do you support the trend where our servants, the politicians, continue to get rich?

Jace, do you have an actual rebuttal?

"Just like every single time that whyamimrpink talks, he says something buttfucking retarded" And this is why democrats lost. You guys don't have an argument. It is just name calling for you. Remember, Trump is a racist, sexist, bigot, blah blah blah. But no actual argument.

" Your right. he did promote non-politicians. but those Non-politicians he promoted ARE the problem." How so? They were not the ones who did the bailouts. That was your lovely democrats. "they are the disease plaguing america" Again, how? " funny how you guys shit on and called out Hillary Clinton for being best of buds from Goldman Sachs." I never did. "he is not draining the swamp." He is. He is promoting guys who have had success in the private sector in a competitive atmosphere as opposed to career politicians. "he just recently said he wants to promote his son's wedding planner to a government position. because she "did a good job". " If she did a good job then fine. Around 30% of CEOs are engineers who have had limited experience in business nor took any business courses. They worked for the company and have intelligence and thus get promoted and become successful. You have to look at that. Your criticisms of Trump's picks are really pathetic at this point. You find the smallest of things to criticize them without realize why people get promoted a lot of times in the professional world. "and you and ant man. and Global warming Sceptic Happily defend trump going against your own policies" What policies? Trump is doing a lot of things I like. He is reducing the federal government and giving more power to the people. The federal government has been growing for decades and as a result the politicians have been getting richer. The politicians are creating rules to favor them while the average person struggled. Trump mentioned that in the republican debate, in the debate against Clinton and in his inauguration. The reality is that the country is divided between people like you who are highly dependent on the government and can't imagine a smaller government and people like me who want independence and freedom to push for success. You are in the crowd that feel with limited federal government we will have poor healthcare, education, infrastructure, economy, etc. In reality the federal government is causing most of our problems. Us as a nation could have voted for Clinton and continued down the same path. Sure, you may have kept Obamacare, but at what cost? It never really improved our healthcare system and it gave politicians more power. " Anything the democrats do is Bad. very very bad. " Right now that is true as they have become radical. In 1994 there was a discussion between Clinton and Herman Cain over Clinton's healthcare law. Cain brought up his points on how it will cost his company too much. Clinton countered with numbers, data, facts, and he also expressed concern over Cain's job and the restaurant industry and their budget. In the end I agreed with Cain, but Clinton gave a response I could respect and used data and showed concern. Recently Bernie Sanders in the debate against Cruz was approached with a similar question by a business owner from Texas. Bernie basically told her that the law is the law. He did not bring up any numbers, did not discuss income with her, or her budget. He did not seem to care about her business or the fact that she can't expand. All he cared about was using government force to make her pay for other people's healthcare. That is how extreme the party has become. No discussion, just obey and shut up. "Anything the republicans do is good. very very good." I am highly critical of the republican party. As of right now they are the most sane of the two. Many members of it that are taking charge are very intelligent. Ted Cruz is along with Rand Paul. Jeb Bush got shoved aside because we do not need another war mongering Bush. "sorry but trump supporters have absolutely No leg to stand on in politics without making yourselves look like embarrassing stumbling fools." What makes you say that? You are trying to criticize me and make me look like a fool when I countered everything you said.

Aethion, Bernie Sanders is the problem with politics. He wants to continue the trend of growing the federal government and having it promise to give you a better and easier life when lately it hasn't. Meanwhile the politicians, including Bernie continue to get richer. Bernie inherited a house, sold it an used the money to donate to a needy cause.......oh, wait.........he bought a third home with it? Well maybe it was for a homeless family........oh, wait.......it was for himself? OK He is also very humble. He slams rich people like the Walton family who creates jobs with their income meanwhile Bernie remains poor......oh, wait......he recently made around a million dollars thanks to his book sales? Oh, and you can buy that book at Walmart https://www.walmart.com/ip/A-Future-to-Believe-in-The-Political-Revolution-Continues/54295542 Really, why do you fall for this buffoon? Why didn't he give the book away for free? I guess he wanted people to pay their "fair share" in order to own it.

Ant Man, that is true. Problem is that ultra liberals don't like success. They pushed for Obama 8 years ago who has done nothing in his life and then they pushed for Bernie who had even less credentials. In fact, many praised Bernie because he was the poorest senator. It is getting pathetic at this point.

K L, why are they professors as opposed to working in industry in the competitive field? Ever heard of "those that can't do teach"? I rather trust a successful CEO who has actual experience working the the market where it is do or die and competitive as opposed to some professor who just lectures material from a book. Also, recessions happen. No one really "crashed" the economy. What caused the major problems were politicians and democrats pushing for the bailouts and doing it because they listened to liberal econ professors such as Paul Krugman.

" hmm I wonder why Bernie was the poorest senator.." During his campaign he made millions off of his book sales and bought a third home. Here is the deal. For decades the federal government has been growing, and really all government has been growing. Federal spending as percent of GDP was around 14% after WWII. It is now around 20%. Now mind you defense spending has been steadily declining for over 50 years when you look at it as percent of GDP. So it isn't the "military industrial complex" causing the spending increase. State and local spending has been increasing as well. This past election you had both Bernie and Trump campaigning on the idea that the rich are getting richer and that the average person is struggling. Bernie wanted to expand the government even more. Trump, however, brought up the great point that politicians are getting richer when they are supposed to serve us. We have many millionaires in DC, on being Bernie now after his book sale (and remember, he owns three homes while millions don't even own one). You have the government that is promising to help you and thus is getting bigger. This has been a trend for decades. And during that time politicians get richer while the average person struggles. Why do you want to continue with that same course? Trump is going against that. He is promoting people who got rich without being a politician. At the very least it is different. I guess we could have went the Bernie route. Have the government promise us more rainbows and unicorns. Meanwhile the politicians get rich (did I mention Bernie just bought a third home) and the average person continues to struggle. I find it crazy that people continue to push what is causing all of these problems to begin with.

"Yeah Cause Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, George Washington, john Adams, FDR, john Kennedy, etc. etc. are known for being successful businessmen and money holders right? " A couple things. One, read my comment on what I wrote about the government getting bigger. I just wrote it. Based on the recent trends the past few decades it seems like politicians are not doing well. Next. Both Washington and Adams were founding fathers. Washington was a general. Adams helped write the Declaration of Independence. FDR turned a recession into a depression. Probably one of the worse presidents ever. JFK was assassinated before he can even do anything. "Yep being a lawyer, senator and community organizer is nothing compared to being a silver-spoon fed trust fund baby that got most of their fortune and place in the world branded on their ass just for coming out of the right vagina. " A community organizer is nothing. A one term senator is nothing. As much as I agreed with Rand Paul I did not support him because of how little he served in congress, same with Ted Cruz. I feel that Ted Cruz could be a great president after Trump, but when that happens he will have had 8 years in congress. Now he is too young. I know many lawyers. I really don't find that to be impressive. Obama never managed a budget in his life nor worked towards a major goal. "Yep literally the most popular politician in the country, also one of the poorest, and who gets support from all across the political spectrum. " So being poor is successful? Also, nothing indicates he is popular. He lost and many of the people he endorsed lost. "In other words the only trust wohty one?" Again, read my most recent comment. Bernie just bought a third home and man millions. This guy rips on the Walton family for being rich when the Walton family at least gave people jobs and provide goods to people. How did Bernie help out people by buying a third home? He didn't. He only benefited himself. "lol i forgot you only become a senator to make money right? " Like Bernie, because he wasn't making much outside of politics. He wrote a book and made millions off of it and donated.......I mean kept it for himself. "and only people who have money are worth anything or matter.... republican/libertarian logic 101. " In many cases money is a sign of success. In the competitive market it is. In politicians it isn't as it is a sign of abusing power. So why do you want to keep growing government that has been growing for decades that allowed the politicians, especially career politicians like Bernie, get richer? "lol so appeal to authority fallacy is it..." You appeal to authority when you support growing government. "and the threat of global recession from a collapse of the entire banking system in the US and the wall street system which also controls 30% of the world's assets had nothing to do with it." Let it collapse. It will recover. Oh, I forgot, you liberals feel that without government the world will stop spinning. "again don't pay attention to libertarians or republicans on this issue, it's clear who and what they stand for/with: Rich fucks fucking over anyone who doesn't have money." Again, read my comment. To sum it up, government has been growing for decades while the politicians, including Bernie, were getting richer.

"Stop with the vicious ad hominem smears against Bernie." Bernie is a millionaire and owns three homes. He got there by being a career politician. Meanwhile he rips on business owners for being rich while they are the ones creating jobs. "I guess mrpink denies global warming." What makes you say that?

"Mrpink is the also the guy who said child labor laws are pointless," There was an article in USA today that showed how less teens are picking up summer jobs. Teenage unemployment is high. Businesses are not even hiring teens. What makes you think they are going to start hiring children? If you are going to make an attack on me you have to give a legit reason why I am wrong. Just saying " is the also the guy who said child labor laws are pointless, that's the kind of garbage he is" is not an argument or a way to discredit me. Why is it garbage? Just because you feel it is doesn't make it so. People who are myopic and act like trained seals will agree with you. But an intelligent person will give an actual reason why what I said is wrong. I gave you my reasoning, now give me yours? Until you do anything you say is pointless which puts me ahead by default.

Let us flip the argument around. The only reason why liberals bash these picks is because they work in the private sector and are rich. The constant attack on the rich and business owners by the left is one of the reasons why democrats lost. People don't care about them. They care about their own well being.

ch33tos sesh, I was posed a question by one of my colleagues on who would you rather be president? A poor person or a rich person? I said a rich person. My colleagues agreed. I rather a rich person be in charge then a poor person. So to answer you question, yes.
1
ch33tos sesh, what creates corruption? That is the federal government having power that can be bought to begin with. At that point I blame the politicians, not the rich people.

Trump railed against the politicians. During the republican debate he ripped on republicans for taking his money. During the debate with Clinton Clinton was criticizing Trump for taking tax cuts when Trump turned that on her saying that the politicians in DC created those laws. In the inauguration he ripped on the career politicians that continue to get richer while everyone else struggled. That was his entire campaign. Again, I don't blame rich people. I blame the career politicians who keep screwing us while promising to make our lives better.

The Hardcore Gentleman, in the mid 60s and 70s you had the expansion of the payroll tax and the creation of programs such as the EPA, OSHA and department of ed. For decades the government has been growing. Government spending was 14% of GDP after WWII. Now it is around 20%. Defense spending has been dropping for over 50 years, so the "military industrial complex" is not contributing to that growth. State and local government spending is growing as well. You have to consider all of that well when talking about the economy and government.
