  1. This interview was a complete waste of time.

  2. A rocket launcher would've ended it.
    36
  3. All hail president Trump. He'll end the communist infiltration of our country.
    34
  4. Alt-right is not white supremacy. Alt-righters realize that only white people vote for smaller government, therefore we need a "whiter" US in order to get that sustainable smaller government. Bigger government leads to tyranny, which leads to the end of Western Civilization.
    31
  5. The alt-right is all about defending the white race. All other races do the same. White Lives Matter.
    27
  6. Ann Coulter was correct - you can have open borders, or you can have a welfare state, but you can't have both.
    22
  7. Polls are bs. Hillary is beating Trump in the polls. My God, Trump is going to beat the shiite out of Hitlery in the election.
    20
  8. Constitutional crisis because the AG is more Trump-friendly? You mean like when Eric Holder said "I'm Obama's wingman" ?
    20
  9. The donors, the mainstream media, establishment republicans, and the young turks are against Trump. You can't get a stronger signal that Trump is the right man for the job. Trump 2016!
    19
  10. Morons are anti-Trump.
    17
  11. Trump will crush Hillary. You guys are delusional.
    14
  12. Multiculturalism is a fake meme. Just take a look at the wiki article "Bread and Circuses". The Roman Empire fell because of ignorant rabble. Low iq'd people were brought into the empire and the grain dole was instituted simply as a means for the "democrats" to keep power. This rabble had no sense of civic duty, no patriotism, and never cared about sustainability. Sound familiar?
    14
  13. Pathetic. Neither Dwyane nor George are willing to touch upon the root cause of all of this dysfunctionality - the fatherlessness of black families and how the perverse incentives of the welfare state promotes this. And how the War on Drugs exacerbates this. It's an exercise in denial by two liberals who refuse to see the root cause of all this carnage.
    14
  14. Gary Johnson is an open borders guy, and open borders + a welfare state = fiscal oblivion. I hate the war on drugs just as much as Stanhope, but he's repeating a well known lie. Non-violent drug offenders filling up the prisons? Nope. The way it works over 90% of the time is that a violent offender who has drugs on him makes a plea deal and the violent charge goes away.
    14
  15. Just another reason why unions have to go. Auction off all school properties and hand out vouchers. Let the free market decide wages. Let the good schools thrive and bad schools die.
    14
  16. I've never seen TYT so over the rainbow delusional. Michael Brown was a thug, and the cop was fighting for his life. That's absolutely clear. Cenk must be doing drugs.
    13
  17. Like government bureaucrats aren't in pursuit of money. God, Sam pretends that government bureaucrats don't cheat, lie, steal, etc etc etc. Yea right, government bureaucrats are honest, reliable, trustworthy,
    10
  18. You can't stump the Trump! Trump rulz, Cenk droolz!
    10
  19. This is about ignorance. Eric Garner died because he never took care of his own health. There was no chokehold. There was no damage to his windpipe or bones in his neck. The officer used a standard headlock takedown maneuver that is taught in police academies, and has been employed countless thousands of times without ill consequences.
    10
  20. George Floyd overdosed on fentanyl. He was a dead man walking and the police officer with his knee on Floyd's neck didn't cut off his air or blood flow.

  21. No honest libertarian should support having more latinos/hispanics in the US. I'm not a racist, i'm a realist. Year after year, PEW polls show that 70%+ latinos feel we need more government. You want small government, and they want big government. It's that simple. It's just that simple. ReasonTV exists because they've got Big Bizz sugardaddies. That's why they don't resist the demographic destruction of fiscal conservatives.

  22. Free trade is fine. Managed trade is not. NAFTA is managed trade, which is good for multinational corps and politicians, and bad for pretty much everyone else.
    8
  23. In South Africa it's believed that having sex with babies cures aids.
    8
  24. Heather Heyer was a seditious traitor. She was a member of antifa and the iww.
    7
  25. Another drug-addled thug attacking a cop. The cop did a good job.
    6
  26. Trepur349 "Inflation is under 2% right now." Increases in productivity during the past ten years should've yielded 3% deflation per annum, but due to our monetary policies that's 2% inflation. In other words, most of the inflation is masked.
    6
  27. Help The Migrants = Pathological Altruism = Suicide
    6
  28. Crowder thinks it takes mental gymnastics for tea partiers to like Trump. It doesn't. I"m the middle class, i'm a worker, and i understand some of the things that are crushing the economy. The big three are open borders, globalist trade policies, and small business crushing regulations. Donald Trump said he would change these, and he might try, and he might succeed. All of the other candidates have to meet with the Big Donors in order to get the hundreds of millions it takes to run a national campaign, and they'd have to promise business as usual. So if any candidate other than Trump becomes the nominee, the middle class workers will continue to get crushed.
    6
  29. The blame whitey schtick has been around for a long, long time. It's used to inflame the racial divide and distract from the real reasons for the failures in the black community.
    6
  30. A vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary.
    6
  31. The South was right, but it would've been better if Lincoln would've respected The Constitution and let the South secede. The so-called Civil War (War of Northern Aggression) was unnecessary and evil. Fk Lincoln.
    5
  32. Obama likes IS. Russia wants to get rid of IS. That's the reason Putin likes Trump. Trump 2016!
    5
  33. Gary Johnson is an open borders guy, so he's a non-starter.
    5
  34. Pastor Manning keepin' it real! he da man!
    5
  35. The reason why small business is floundering today is because of big government. Compliance costs for small businesses in 2010 was over $2 trillion. 55% of small business owners recently polled said they'd never start a small business again in the anti-small business climate we're in. Many of the burdensome rules than encumber small businesses were done by the government at the behest of big business in order to lessen competition. The consumer loses twice.
    5
  36. We should have a system more like Britain. Free higher education for people who show they're worthy. If students manage to get very high scores on standardized tests, they should get a free education. Unfortunately, under our system, people who should never have gone to college game the system. Horribly. They don't even bother to go to class.
    5
  37. Sanders is the new Santa Claus. Socialism works until you run out of other peoples money.
    4
  38. The biggest problem with people of color is a broken family, and that's almost completely the fault of the social engineering started by LBJ. Black children are living in single parent households not because of slavery of discrimination, but because of perverse incentives brought into play by LBJ. Thanx libs.
    4
  39. Cenk was considering joining ISIS, but now the pay is too low.
    4
  40. People are supporting Trump because he's the only guy who's serious about securing the border. The working class are sick and tired of cheap labor and drugs crossing the border and driving down wages. We're sick and tired of being lied to about immigration by the political established, the mainstream media, and Cenk Uygur. Trump 2016!
    4
  41. How long Cenk? What about how long until Hamas changes its charter and disavows its stated goal of destroying Israel altogether. There's never going to be peace as long as the goal is to destroy Israel.
    4
  42. +Joe Bloe Trump has three huge assets - he knows how the dirty political system works, he knows that open borders + welfare state = suicide, and he's filthy rich. It's obvious reason tv supports open borders, and i suspect you do too. Trump 2016! Reject the establishment!
    4
  43. Trump rulz you bitches!
    4
  44. +MsJazzyjazz85 The Pope is a hypocrite. Vatican City is surrounded by 300 foot walls and has the most restrictive immigration policy of any country on earth, and he's chastising Trump for his plan to build a wall? What a nozzle this pope is.

  45. When women are given the right to vote, more and more collectivism follows. No exceptions, anywhere, anytime.
    4
  46. Diversity is a code word for anti-white.
    4
  47. Sheriff Joe tries to enforce immigration law, and the feds attack him. Sanctuary cities ignore the law, and the feds leave them be.

  48. Jodi McDaniel "I would pick up the barstool off the floor and cocock upside the head with it " Jeremy has a conceal carry permit and would reply with a second amendment solution.
    3
  49. This is a disgusting conversation. These two pukes aren't rational, they're just two bastards who want open borders and endless immigration of third worlders. Welcome to the world of chamber of commerce ball suckers.
    3
  50. Elliot Rodger subscribed to TYT. He was a lib, and i blame TYT for his violence.
    3
  51. I've got to clean my room.
    3
  52. Cenk is correct - Trump is the best choice for president. Trump 2016!
    3
  53. At the 22:00 point Nick said "EKCETERA". Very annoying and common mispronunciation.
    3
  54. Did Trump say anything untrue?
    3
  55. You can either vote for Trump or vote for the Big Donor. Every other candidate has to make an agreement with the Big Donors. It's just that simple. What this means is that Cruz or Rubio or Kasich or Hillary or Bernie has to agree to open borders and globalist trade policies. These policies crush the middle class, the working people. If you don't like these policies, the only chance you have is voting for Trump.
    3
  56. Open borders means blacks don't get jobs, mexicans do. Blacks should be pissed off about open borders. The way Cenk mocks these two is disgusting.
    3
  57. Libertarians who support Cruz will obviously doom the liberty movement. The flood of third worlders, legal and illegal, will continue. Third worlders support big government. All other issues don't matter even a little if the flow of third worlders continue. By the way, ReasonTV falls into the category of "captured libertarians", which means libertarians who'll talk about all issues libertarian, except for the most important one, immigration. They don't bite the hand that feeds them (large corporations who want open borders).
    3
  58. The Donald 2016!
    3
  59. ReasonTV was created for one point and one purpose - to keep intelligent libertarians busy with nonsense. They focus on everything but the corrosive effects of massive immigration, both legal and illegal. Millions of third worlders are flooding into the country, 80% of them wanting bigger government, and while ReasonTV keeps you busy with fluff, your ideology is rendered irrelevant because this flood. Big corporations win.
    3
  60. Wake up, libertarians. Reason TV is not your ally. They are captured libertarians. What are captured libertarians, you ask? They're libertarians who are funded by large corporations. What should you notice about them? They never rail against or even seem to notice the flood of cheap labor into the US. They talk about all things libertarian except that. In other words, they keep smart people busy thinking about everything else except the most important thing. They aren't pro-liberty, they aren't pro-libertarian, because the flood of third worlders who want more big government will destroy any chance for small government advocates. Wake up.
    3
  61. Cenk is correct, Donald Trump is strong and would be a strong president.
    3
  62. If these chinese citizens had conceal carry guns, this knife attack would've been cut short. Cenk, don't you remember the Hutus? They didn't use guns. Or the cambodian killing fields. Uyghur muslims? Are they related to Cenk?
    3
  63. These TYT dumbasses are beyond belief. They suck black butt harder than Monica sucked Bill. and they suck it so hard it's hard to watch without regirgitating.
    3
  64. Thom is correct. Trump 2016!
    3
  65. ellaphx Zimmy did a public service. We owe Zimmy our gratitude.
    3
  66. You have two choices : an establishment Dem/Rep who will continue the policy of open borders, which depresses the wages of the working class, or The Donald. Choose wisely.
    3
  67. Asian privaledge?

  68. Christie is a RINO, not a republican. He's a democrat in disguise. Thanx libs.

  69. Trump 2016! End the effluence!

  70. @kileer71 If you'd google "gay indoctrination" you'd see endless examples of K-12 children being force-fed all sorts of gay indoctrination. I'll message you one example.
    3
  71. The far left is highest in agreeableness? The far left is people that hit you in the head with a bike lock.
    3
  72. @kileer71 I believe in vouchers, so parents could choose the school. Certainly some parents believe "gay aint ok" most especially christians. I don't believe children should be taught sex until around 9th grade, and even then just the bare basics of safe sex and birth control. Kevin Jennings organization GLAAD has a suggested reading book list for grade schoolers that downright pedophilic. End public education.
    3
  73. Two more Covid deaths. Tragic.
    3
  74. @DeviousTelevision "Egalitarianism, huh?" Compared to Mexico. In Mexico, 26 families control 95% of the wealth. If you're poor, you stay poor.
    3
  75. White people are being replaced. If you don't mind this white genocide, you are probably a democrat.
    3
  76. Zimmerman called the emergency operator 46 times in the past 8 years, 6 times in the past 6 months. In the Trayvon incident he didn't call 911, he called the non-emergency number.
    3
  77. Thom's final question - yes. Google Manov Bhargava, an Indian who was brought into this country when he was 12, was a math whiz, went to an elite college, dropped out the first year, spent the next 15 living in the mountains as a monk, then came back, invented 5 hour energy and became a billionaire.
    3
  78. SwapPart are you racist against alcoholics?
    3
  79. @BlameTheFirst Yes, you're right. And democrats are pro-choice when it comes to a mom aborting her child, but anti-choice when it comes to a mom educating her child.
    3
  80. @Loathomar "It is easier to teach a class of 40 good students then 20 troubled ones. How do you solve that, not send troubled kids to school?" One word - taser.
    3
  81. Obama doubled the national debt. Obama destroyed Libya. Obama let 1 million muslim immigrants into the country. Great job.
    3
  82. How is it that African Americans have a significantly higher IQ's than Africans? Simple. About 25% of AA are bi-racial, mostly black/white combos. They're only partially genetically African.
    3
  83. Lots of democrats have said they want a wall and enhanced border security. They just don't vote for it.
    3
  84. Lots of studies have shown that testing swabs contain graphene and other toxins.
    3
  85. You doubt that there are people gaming the welfare system? That's pretty ignorant.
    3
  86. How do you know who was screaming? You recognize Trayvon's voice? Zimmerman has a conceal carry permit, so he can carry a gun. On the list to watch the neighborhood? WTF. That's not how neighborhood watches work. There's no schedule, people just keep an eye out for suspicious behavior.
    3
  87. Trump never said he'd grab anyone by the pussy. Listen to the words he actually said.
    2
  88. Vouchers are a great idea. Let parents decide what kind of school their children go to. Freedom is a good thing.
    2
  89. In the 60s southern states railed against the north for passing laws whereby the central government controlled the states. Don't tread on me. It's disgusting that libs and Cenk don't understand this. Don't dictate to us. We believe in freedom, you don't.
    2
  90. If Obama doesn't take responsibility for our open border with Mexico, Cliven shouldn't take responsibility for his open border.
    2
  91. Complete bullshit. The reason for posting the battle flag in the 60s is to rebel against tyranny against the states. Do you believe that americans who rebelled against the english were wrong? They were rebelling against a tone-deaf central govt who taxed without representation. The tea tax was 3%. The import tax in 1857 was 15% and Lincoln signed into law a 35% tax. That caused the american civil war. Not slavery.
    2
  92. Trump is the only candidate who doesn't have to make promises to the Big Donors. The Big Donors will demand business as usual - open borders, globalist trade policies, etc. That will happen UNLESS Trump gets elected.
    2
  93. Warren is no part indian. She made that up to get into a position in a university. In other words, she's a liar. Fauxcapawntas.

  94. Another path to riches is to marry an NBA player, get the crap beat out of you, and take him to the cleaners.
    2
  95. Gary Johnson is a poor choice. He believes in open borders and that's the death of conservatism.
    2
  96. +nelson 100 Bernie love gubermint spending and wants more of it. Bernie's solution to the tsunami across the southern border? Raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour. Bernie is a socialist/communist idiot. And he's too farking old.
    2
  97. +nelson 100 Socialism fails when the gubermint runs out of other peoples money. Move to Venezuela if you like socialism so much.
    2
  98. Gary Johnson is an open borders guy. That's a deal breaker.
    2
  99. This is all bs. The largest study on race and speeding happened in 1993 on the NJ Turnpike. 40 thousand drivers were racially identified - a high speed camera took a photo and radar detectors measured the speed. First the researchers made a decision on the race, and only then did they look at the speed. 12% of the drivers were black, yet 25% of the speeders were black. And blacks were even more overrepresented in the grossly overspeeding category - going over 90 mph in a 65 mph -
    2
  100. +Mastikator ReasonTV are not trying to promote libertarianism, they're trying to distract libertarian-minded people. They're open borders people, which if you look at the people immigrating to the US, is suicidal for people who believe in small government. 80% of these third world immigrants want bigger government, not smaller. These millions will vote libertarianism into the abyss. Why would a true libertarian allow such a thing to happen?
    2
  101. If conscientiousness is unproductive if times are unstable is an accurate assessment of reality, then preppers are wasting their resources.
    2
  102. Cenk Ugar looks white.
    2
  103. Cenk ignores the fact that the BLM drove 52 fellow cattle ranchers out of business. Bundy is the last man standing. What right does the BLM have to make up rules that drives cattle ranchers out of business? For instance in Bundy's case, the BLM demanded in 1993 that he downsize his ranch from 900 head of cattle to 150 - in a ranch of 160,000 acres. It wasn't about grazing fees, it was about regulations that would've drove him out of business.
    2
  104. Bernie Sanders is a phony. He pretends to be a populist, fighting for the common man. The truth is he works for the banksters. He worked with Ron Paul for months on an "audit the Fed" bill and they managed to hammer out a rigorous bill which would've forced a full audit of the Fed. Then, out of the blue Sanders pulls a switcharoo and introduces a weak sauce bill that's a joke. The Fed thanx Bernie for his service.
    2
  105. 16 is legal, so what's the problem? Older dudes like 'em young and fresh.
    2
  106. ***** Officer Pantaleo didn't use a chokehold, he used a headlock. That's what he claimed in his testimony, and the medical report said no damage was done to Garners windpipe or neckbones.
    2
  107. i agree that sometimes women attack and deserve some response, and she did too, but in the video the only hit she ever connected was her spit. Her fist never got near his face. The video showed him hitting her unconscious, then apparently not seeming to care about her state. That's why people were angry and wanted him to pay.

  109. Tarkier12 If you disagree with an arrest, you fight it in a court, not on the street. Simple as that. 
    2
  110. +Ace Goat Those of us on the ground, the working class, see the problems created by open borders. A flood of workers come in, wages go down, unemployment goes up. Funny how that works and funny how the fuels Trump's "close the border" message.
    2
  111. Progressives aren't pro-labor. Most of them advocate open borders, which leads to cheap labor. The flood of cheap labor from South America have hurt african americans most of all, another group that the left supposedly defends. Democrats and progressives hurt the working class and blacks on the one hand, and pretend to advocate for them on the other.
    2
  112. Ruth J We have open borders right now. And yes, a flood of cheap labor leads to a lower price for labor.
    2
  113. The government should solve this problem. A federal Dept of Dating could change the rules and lower the bar, sort of like affirmative action. Women should be forced to get it on with guys that have problems picking up women. One way to do this would be some sort of dating card that requires women to have sex with the man with a man that she's not interested in. This would level the playing field methinks.
    2
  114. +JustAnother YouTubeFangirl Government Enforced Rape is called the tax code.

  115. Cenk is part of the problem. Cenk is actively trying to foment racial animus, and has been doing so for quite some time.

  116. No, the 21 days thing is not true. In 5% of the cases. patients become symtomatic after 21 days.

  117. Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me.
    2
  118. Cenk is wrong. Putin didn't pass any anti-gay laws, he just passed a law restricting any pro-gay speech that can be heard by children. In other words, keep your hands off our children.
    2
  119. Every other candidate must kowtow to the Big Donors. Trump is the only candidate that doesn't have to beg for money and hope the Big Donors give him support. Young Turks pretends they're against money in politics, then when a man comes along and he finds a way to get money out of politics, they attack him. Young Turks is bs.

  120. Thom, we're not pissed that the embassy was attacked, we're pissed that it wasn't defended.

  121. Johnson is an open borders guy, which is destroying the country by making conservatives unelectable. Third worlders vote for big government.

  124. Places like Ferguson fester because open borders mean blacks don't have jobs, illegals do. Dems support and encourage open borders.

  125. Zane Huseth Have you read Ron Paul's book on the gold standard? Do you even understand what it is? And don't you understand that human creatures have been living under the gold standard a heck of a lot longer that any fiat currency standard?

  129. In 1965, when the "Great Society" legislation began, black illegitimacy was at 25%. Now it's almost triple that. Now we have more than 80 federal anti-poverty programs that cost a total of $1 trillion a year. That doesn't include Medicaid, Medicare or Social Security. So this is a very big deal, and it would make sense to get into politics to try to downsize this waste of money.
    2
  130. Excellent video by PJW, spot-on, with one exception. The Rodney King incident wasn't a beat-down by thuggish police. Those cops were constrained by their rules of engagement, and they were going completely by the book as far as use of force. It was just another example of the media misleading the public in order to race monger.
    2
  131. Keep going Israel. Palestinians were stupid enough to put Hamas in charge, and ignore all of those missiles shot into Israel.
    2
  132. Does Cenk believe that the majority of muslims don't believe that the proper punishment for apostacy is death? That was the central claim of Bill Maher - that such vile beliefs are commonplace in the muslim world. Christians and jews don't have any analogous vile beliefs that are so widely held.
    2
  133. Segregation was the law - in other words, the force of government. It wasn't the owner of the diner who stopped blacks from sitting at the counter, it was the government. In a free market, diner owners who had racist policies would suffer financially for those racist policies.

  137. @Umberto2 Subprime mortgage lending - which was pushed forward with heavy pressure from democrats and ACORN - was at the center of the banking crisis. Without those subprime mortgages and their subsequent default, the banking bubble wouldn't have happened. The enemies from within are to blame - Barney Frank in particular.

  139. @kileer71 Obviously gays believe they benefit from teaching children as early as possible that "gay is ok". Radio talk show host Michael Savage has talked about the gay mafia, pushing its gay agenda in various ways. Google Kevin Jennings, the safe school czar, an advocate for gay education.

  143. @modemmack You really haven't been paying attention to the health care reform. You think those companies have to take on people with preexisting conditions? Don't you know who wrote the health care reform bill? Lawyers who work for the health care insurance companies. So of course there are all sorts of loopholes. Including not serving anyone at all. Children who have preexisting conditions too expensive? Just declare you're not taking children any more. Problem solved.

  146. You didn't read my comment. I don't doubt that some people are inclined to be gay, or that they are born gay. I've just stated an obvious fact - that when you choose to have sex with someone, straight or gay, that's a choice. You can choose never to have sex, or to have sex with prostitutes, or whatever. In any case, you're making a choice.

  147. @AmadeusPower Secondhand smoke is known to contain at least 250 toxic chemicals, including 50 cancer-causing chemicals. According to the U.S. Surgeon General, there is no risk-free level of exposure to secondhand smoke. That means if you can smell cigarette smoke in the air, it could be harming your health.

  148. @Umberto2 Ironically, an enthusiastic Fannie Mae Foundation report singled out one paragon of nondiscriminatory lending, which worked with community activists and followed "the most flexible underwriting criteria permitted." That lender's $1 billion commitment to low-income loans in 1992 had grown to $80 billion by 1999 and $600 billion by early 2003. The lender they were speaking of was Countrywide, which specialized in subprime lending and had a working relationship with ACORN.

  151. @DarthKap I was talking about voucher schools. If some city, let's say Los Angeles, decided to have a city-wide voucher program (this has never happened before) then all types of competition would pop up. It would be like your choice of places to eat - fast food, mexican, chinese - there'd be a wide variety of private schools competing for vouchers. Obviously disruptive students wouldn't be accepted at many of them, but some would - that's the beauty of competition.

Every well funded libertarian website is allowed to dabble deeply into everything libertarian, with the exception of immigration.

See a medical professional and get some meds.

  282. Garner killed himself by living an incredibly unhealthy lifestle. Years and years of overeating, smoking and not exercising resulted in morbid obesity (over 400 lbs) in addition to his heart problems and asthma. The exertion killed him, not the so-called "chokehold".

  283. We have the tecnology to stop this - it's called military grade plastic explosives. Cut the lock and the bike thief will be gone.

  284. These towns in St Louis County are run by blacks, so it's not a matter of racism.

  285. Trump rulz, Hillary droolz!

  286. This is delusional. Big government forces are firmly in charge, and they're bought and paid for by Big Business forces. Nowadays Big Biz pulls the strings, and they're paying Big Guv to destroy small biz and that destroys the middle class. That's the name of that tune. Hartmann is trying to blame libertarianism somehow, though libertarians are in charge of nothing right now.
    1
  287. Are democrats or liberals against crony capitalism? I doubt it. For one thing, they revere one of the most famous crony capitalists of all time - President Lincoln.
    1
  288. ***** So you agree that the BLM should be the overlords and drive small business out of business, as they've been doing with cattle ranchers, forestry businesses and small farmers. We're the serfs, and the BLM gets to take over this land which they turn over to fracking interests. The frackers then give political donations. And you approve of this. 
    1
  289. ***** They did it. The BLM have driven the other 52 ranchers out of business. Now Bundy is the last man standing in that area. What are the BLM planning to do with the land once Bundy is gone? Well in northeast Nevada last year, the same thing happened, and the BLM sold leases to 6 fracking companies for a grand sum of $1.27 million. 56 square miles of public lands leased for peanuts. Is this what you support? 
    1
  290. They sell sanctuary cities by telling you that we need the illegals to cooperate with the police. What they don't tell you is that such policies make the city a magnet for illegals, which leads to a higher crime rate, especially when it comes to auto theft.

  291. Sherrif Joe = Less Crime = Lower Murder Rates = Less Property Crime. If you're a non-criminal, Joe is the way to go!

  293. If you don't build Trump's wall, our women will be raped like in Sweden.
    1
  294. Women should not have the right to discriminate against fat gays. I think all women should be legally required to give a guy a blowjob, including Anna. Cenk, not so much.
    1
  295. +cujonautics Libertarians believe in the non-aggression principle. This flood of third worlds immigrating into the US are aggressing upon us - forcing us to pay for their welfare. Ron Paul himself said we can't have open borders and a welfare state at the same time. So anyone with a brain would want an open border only after the welfare state is eliminated.
    1
  296. Hey assholes, they want quick street justice, not slow american jurisprudence. Proof? If they wanted the courts to work it out, they would pack their bags right now and go home, since the wheels are already in motion, with Holder and the justice dept and the fbi on the case. Mission Accomplished. But no, they want to subvert the justice system. If this were a low profile case, a grand jury would see the lack of evidence and there'd be no trial. Rightfully so. But the demonstrators and looters want vengence, not justice.

  297. Affirmative action is anti-white, anti-asian, and anti-jew. That's the point of affirmative action.

  301. The bride was pregnant, so she was producing weapons of mass destruction.
    1
  302. Every candidate must bow to Big Donors. Not Trump. So if you want open borders, globalist trade policies, small business crushing regulations, vote for any candidate except for Trump. If you don't want the middle class to die, if you want workers to have a chance, vote Trump.
    1
  303. We should have freedom. Period. Free association is fundamental to our country. Government forcing people to do what they don't want to do is anti-freedom.
    1
  304. ReasonTV and everyone on this panel are part of the globalist cabal. Obviously the globalists don't want Trump, and so this panel smears Trump. An open border with Mexico means death to the libertarian movement, because 80% of third worlders want bigger, not smaller government. Don't be fooled by ReasonTV.
    1
  305. Libs opined that Clinton was too attractive to sexually molest, and now they have a problem with the logic in this defence?

  306. Cenk is pissing off the libs here. Libs believe that FOX is evil, and all the lib media outlets are wonderful. Cenk, stop waking up the libs to reality.

  307. Donald Trump 2016!

  308. Taxpayers shell out $525 million a year to planned parenthood. To claim that this money doesn't go towards abortions is disingenuous at best.

  309. If you're being raped in life and have no way out of it, make lemonade out of lemons.
    1
  310. Blacks should be furious at Obama's open border policies. Illegals push down wages and employment opportunities for low skilled black workers. The Donald would fix this. Pronto. Border Fence and e-verify and enforcement of existing laws would do the job.
    1
  311. "Darned! Some ebola puke on the floor. Cleanup on isle 5!"
    1
  312. Cenk left out some very important details. If we decide to inspect a military facility, and they object, yes there is a vote, a vote we will obviously win. But this vote affords Iran a three week stall, which Cenk never mentioned. How dishonest.
    1
  313. Chris Stonehouse Actually in the past 40 years per pupil spending in american public schools has tripled (adjusted for inflation). So no, we haven't been cutting spending on education.
    1
  314. I'm pro-choise - i support the abortion option, because it's her body. Now i would hope she wouldn't invade my body - most specifically, my wallet. I'm pro-choice on how my money gets spent,

  319. Monk of Deaths GDP Growth Rate in Netherlands averaged 0.52 Percent from 1988 until 2014. Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have had growth rates around 5% since they've adopted libertarian policies in 2008 (cutting government spending and regulation). You're glad that libertarians aren't in charge in the Neatherlands because you like anemic growth methinks.
    1
  320. Bernie Sanders did the bidding of the Federal Reserve. He worked with Ron Paul for months and they formulated an ""Audit The Fed" bill. At the last moment Bernie introduced and alternative weak sauce bill formulated by lawyers working for The Fed. You can google this easily - it's not hard to find or figure out.
    1
  321. Why is inequality growing? Because of the Fed quantitatively easing, which steals spending power, which hurts workers and people with fixed incomes, and benefits the rich. Open borders not only drives down the wages of workers, and since these unwashed masses slithering across the border make low wages, thereby driving down the average wage.
    1
  322. It's odd that libs are talking about perverse incentives, yet they're all for a "strong safety net", not seeing the perverse incentives there, not seeing the quagmire of a permanent underclass.

  324. Not a big Trump fan, but The Donald is right about illegal immigration. It's destroying worker's wages - that's why Big Biz wants them. And what Big Biz wants, Big Biz gets, thanx to Establishment Dems and Repubs. And Mass Media. And Young Turks.

  328. I'm going to kill myself because Trump got elected! OMG it's horrible! Life as we know it is completely over! Oh wait, i've still got a twelve pack of bud in my spare bedroom. My bad, i can postpone my suicide for a day or two.

  332. Open border types love bashing Trump. Unfortunately they don't love America.
    1
  333. Illegal aliens are undermining the working class by forcing wages down. Simple supply and demand. And they're clearly a burden - food stamps, ER rooms swamped with non-payers bankrupting the hospitals, drugs crossing the border along with the illegals, etc.
    1
  334. Earned Income Credit = Welfare
    1
  335. Reason TV lives on corporate sugar daddies, so of course they're anti-border protection. Cheap labor is good for their sugar daddies, so it's good for them.
    1
  336. Trump inherited an estimated $250 million in 1989. His current net worth is $5-$10 billion. Using the rule of 72, his fortune appreciated at least 12% per year for 27 years. If Stein thinks that Trump is bad at business, he must be on meds.

  337. If you're for Hamas, you're for destruction and barbarism. If you're for Israel, you're for productive people and civilization.

  339. Obama just burned a few pages of The Constitution. Let's gather a mob!

  340. So it's perfectly legal for the NAACP to fire a white woman because she's white. We only hire blacks. Get the hell out of here.
    1
  341. jsgdk Do you believe libertarians are in charge of the US right now? You would have to be delusional to believe such a thing. Federal spending continues to climb, and yes, we are heading towards fascism because of that. And in Europe, where is the austerity? Which governments are decreasing spending? 
    1
  342. All working class people should be pissed that illegals are undermining wages and burdening taxpayers.
    1
  343. Libertarians are intelligent whites who are being gamed. All of the well funded libertarian websites are funded by multinational corps which encourage all thoughts libertarian EXCEPT criticism about mass immigration from third world countries. Your intellectual arguments will be rendered meaningless once the demographic replacement is complete.
    1
  344. They killed the cartoonists because they insulted their prophet. Nothing more to it than that. In other words, they have an evil philosophy.
    1
  345. Libertarians are not anarchists. They believe in a small federal govt, not no govt. Our founding fathers believed the same thing, and our govt was small, up until the Civil War. When Lincoln was inaugurated, the population of the US was 30 million, and the number of civilian federal employees was 2000. Lincoln cracked the foundation of our country.
    1
  346. Legalize drugs. The war on drugs has failed. Our government is as pathetic as the loser addicted gambler who refuses to stop gambling even after it's completely obvious that gambling is destroying his life.

  347. Why do liberals want to take away guns and religion? Lenin told them to do so, it's state power which must be absolute. Do you worst, useful idiots!

  348. The police didn't post that video, they posted a link to that video.

  350. Did the United States or Germany become the great countries they are, the countries these refugees try to get to, by running to higher functioning countries? No, they didn't. They stood up and fought. Thousands upon thousands of lives were lost. My message to these refugees - it's your turn. Fight.
    1
  351. Freedom of association - look it up. Businesses should be allowed to decide who their customers are - just as young women should decide who they should be allowed to fuck. It's just that simple. The Civil Rights bs destroyed freedom of association.
    1
  352. Am i racist for noticing that mexicans are leftists that vote Dem? Am i racist for understanding that in Pew poll year after year mexicans (latinos and hispanics actually, which are mostly mexican) say that we need more government, not less (72-75%). And like Ann Coulter said, we can have open borders, and we can have a welfare state, but we can't have both.
    1
  353. Chokeholds aren't illegal Cenk. And the chokehold didn't kill him. Count off - the chokehold lasted 9 seconds. That's not long enough to suffocate, and there was no fractures of the larynx or hyoid bone. Therefore the reason he died was because of his medical issues. If the cop had used a tazer instead, and Garner had died, would you be demanding an indictment?
    1
  354. Dems pretend to care about the working man and minorities. Open borders, which dems support, undermine the working man, most especially blacks. Yet blacks, who can't find employment due to the flood of illegals, will continue to vote Dem. Go figure.
    1
  355. Matt Welch says "umm" and "ahh" too many times. It's annoying. He needs to retrain himself and take a class in public speaking.

  358. The most malevolent clowns are in Washington or run the CDC.
    1
  359. Sam seems dismissive when someone talks about the inherent value of gold, yet the truth is gold has retained its intrinsic value for thousands of years, yet fiat currency always dies. The average lifespan of fiat currency is 26 years. Gold, like iron, like any commodity, has an intrinsic value. Paper money has no permanent intrinsic  value, and therefore at some point becomes worthless. Sam, name the point where gold or iron becomes worthless.

  365. Leo Cozijn Of course they cane children in Singapore. Spare the rod, spoil the child.
    1
  366. Obama has done everything to support islamic militants, including supplying weapons to ISIS. Yet Cenk supports Obama. Hmmm makes me think Cenk is a crypto-islamist militant, and that this video is misinformation. Methinks Cenk is part of the Muslim Brotherhood.
    1
  367. Ignorance on display. The "hands up don't shoot" is based on lies, refuted bs and only the ignorant folks who haven't followed the  case closely would put their hands up.

  370. Yemen was saved by the Sauds. Gifts are ok. Killing poor people is ok if it's for the greater good. Actually that's the democratc creed. Democrats are willing to sacrifice the black family if it's for the greater good.

  380. What is really tragic is people are trollaphobic. We need our own websites and bathrooms. Us trolls need some respect and separate bathrooms.

  381. Cenk approves of BLM thuggery, but only if it's against whitey. I asked Cenk if the 52 cattle men who went bankrupt in that area concerned him, or all those employees who lost their jobs concerned him, and he said no. When the BLM said "we're here Bundy, and you've got to comply with our dozen demands, including the downsizing of your herd, which means 900 head of cattle is too much, we're setting a limit of 150" I asked Cenk if he approved, and he said yes. The gubermint rulz, whitey droolz.

  382. How long before this gets debunked  like all previos white cop vs black criminal situations?

  383. ***** Sweden, like all of the scandy nations, is a tea party nation.  They saw where their policies would lead them, and made a course correction. Sweden cut their budget - equivalent to a 200 lb man losing 70 lbs - and streamlined their regulations. This is why they're doing so well relative to the rest of Europe. 
    1
  384. Bitches need to say "i'm not interested in you buddy, unless you can pay my barfine"
    1
  385. Cenk produced no facts. Let me spew out one fact so i trump him. In every poll done in any middle eastern country, the majority of muslims supported palestinian suicide bombing.
    1
  386. Sweden is a good example of a tea party nation. They cut their spending drastically and streamlined their regulations. When i say cut their spending, they really cut it, unlike Washington-speak where a cut is a cut in the increase in baseline spending.
    1
  387. Adlercreutz My point was Sweden cut public sector spending drastically, and cut government jobs, and not only did that result in high economic growth, it decreased unemployment. Cutting  public sector employment results in greater private sector employment.

  391. +OldWestWWII Amash is full of crap, just like Cruz. Stephan Molyneux exposed Cruz with his financials, he was paid over 300k to be a "lawyer", but it was really just for his political insidership, and despite this and his wife making huge amounts of money working for Goldman Sachs, they ended up hugely in debt. Cruz is a bought and paid for man. ReasonTV is a corporate-funded entity that only supports open borders politicians.

  394. Michael Lamar Simeon There's not one iota of evidence that Freddie Gray was murdered. This rant has nothing to do with reality.
    1
  395. I don't think Michael Richards is racist at all. He was insulted and enraged, and he wanted to strike back as hard as he could. That's why he used the N word. A black comedian might have done the same thing under those circumstances. When someone slaps you in the face, you want to kick them in the balls.
    1
  396. So the riots would've happened after the trial. Big diff.
    1
  397. Ironic that Cenk considers massacre such a bad thing, but apparently not so much if it's a massacre in Turkey. Not only does Cenk deny the Turks massacred the Armenians, 1.5 million of them, he named his channel after the group responsible for this butchery (Young Turks).
    1
  398. We're lucky that Trump will be our next president, because every other candidate, which of course includes Cruz, has to make promises to the Big Donors. That's right - they have to agree to continue the business as usual open borders globalist trade policy small business crushing regulatory environment that has been destroying the middle class in America. It's not Trump vs Cruz or Hillary. It's Trump vs Big Donor agenda.

  404. Rape only bothers libs when peeps don't tow the line. Face it, if the Cos towed the liberal line, there would no persecution.
    1
  405. Red Meth Bill Clinton has been accused of rape by more than a dozen women and you don't see the liberal media bothering their heads about that. 
    1
  406. This is how our legal system works - after an accusation, a judge or a grand jury makes a decision whether or not there's enough evidence to warrant going to trial. In this case, there's not enough evidence, and plenty of excupatory evidence. In other words, no case at all.

  407. Pierce is an F-ing idiot who has already proved himself an idiot with his rabid anti-gun stance. Ban him from coming to the US. That would only be fair since the UK has banned Michael Savage.
    1
  408. Cenk once said he's against condoms, because it's wrong to ban splooge from a vagina, it's a strategy that doesn't work. Cenk also said it's wrong to ban ebola patients from other parts of the hospital, keeping them in an isolation ward. Cenk  said "Borders? We don't need no stinkin' borders".
    1
  409. Everyone has a smart phone, yet none of these geniuses snap a photo of the older guy. And the moronic woman who went to the parking lot with a pad and pencil in order to write down a license plate number - another idiot. Snap photos of every car in the lot if you think a license plate is going to help the police.

  410. Diversity means encouraging anti-white behavior. Affirmative action is one example of this. Our immigration policies are another.
    1
  411. It's disgusting that libertarians are so dumb or so tribal that Gary Johnson is their candidate. Nationally he's polling around 7% - which means there's a core of libertarians who will vote libertarian no matter what.
    1
  412. Cenk is obviosly working feverishly for The Establishment. He constantly bashes The Donald. 8th grade? Really Cenk? Pointing out things The Donald did when he was a child? How pathetic.

  413. Ironic that libs worry and act when men cross womens borders, but don't worry so much about our countries borders.

  415. Cenk is correct. Trump is the best presidential candidate of all time. Trump 2016!
    1
  416. This has nothing to do with "unequal rights" as Cenk claims. This is called free association, which means gay bakers can deny a straight person a wedding cake, black bakers can deny whites a wedding cake, etc. Everyone has the right, equally, to deny service to people they don't agree with.

  420. How would you fix the fatherlessness problem? Simple. End the welfare state entirely. End the war on drugs. Fix the borders and deport illegals (which would make more jobs available for the legals). Strip away all of the onerous regulations that destroy small business.
    1
  421. Reason TV ignored reality. A Microsoft app tallied the votes. Microsoft has given millions to the Rubio machine for his support in quadrupuling the H1-B visas. Rubio got triple the votes that he got in the polls. Hillary got 6 more delegates than "The Burn" because she won 6 out of 6 coin tosses. The Des Moines Register calls for an investigation of these caucuses because of all the irregularities. Reason TV, like Colonel Klink, knows nuthink, nuthink.

  423. Venezuela, a far left lib paradise. This is where Obummer wants to take us.
    1
  424. There is no way to secure the border and democrats know this. Think about what happened after the Reagan Amnesty - employers were punished when they hired illegals and more money was spent to secure the border. Then after a few years there was only token enforcement of the law, with just a tiny few employers punished. That is exactly what will happen again if we have another amnesty.

  425. All cultures aren't equal. Some cultures are inferior. The misogynistic no snichin' thug culture is an inferior culture.
    1
  426. All things should be done by the gubermint. We can't have all these fast food restaurant - there should be one chain of restaurants run by the gubermint. Food, like education, shouldn't be left to the people to choose. We need more gubermint monopolies.
    1
  427. Racial appropriation is wrong when it's blackface, but it's ok when it's cornrows.
    1
  428. The gubermint is spending more money than ever before, and that is something we'll have to pay sooner or later, one way or another. Also, there are a myriad of hidden taxes, including increased prices because of compliance costs (the cost of complying to the ever-increasing labyrinth of gubermint regs).

  429. Deez Nuts We lowered our debt post WW2 because we had all sorts of advantages over our potential manufacturing competitors - the chief one was we had lots of able bodied men. Our infrastructure was also intact. Many countries have paid down their debt. Canada cut its budget drastically one year then flatlined spending for three years in a row. All the scandy countries paid down their debts, most especially Sweden, which cut its budget so severely it was like a 200 lb man losing 70 lbs. So tea party austerity can work.

If there was a possiblity that the war on drugs would be ended, a real possibility, Cenk would rail against it, not because it's right or wrong, but simply because it would mean less money for the public sector unionistas.

The police dispatcher told him "we don't need you to do that" which is not the same as "don't do that". Trayvon ambushed GZ and got shot. The End.

  556. P1 health care reform, especially with mandates, won't help health care or the middle class. This will add to the deficit and who pays for the deficit? the working class. they'll print up more money, salaries will be stagnant, so it'll become harder and harder to pay the bills. and consider the illegals - do you really think they won't be covered somehow? and do you really think the borders will ever really be protected? the cost of all of this is open ended.

  567. The problem with this statement is that she doesn't say which original vital records she's seen. It's not that she's lying, it's that she's never said she's seen his hospital of births vault copy, or even claims that Obama was born in a hospital at all. She could very well be saying that she's seen the forms that Obama's mom filled out at the dept of health, and that's enough proof, as far as she's concerned.

My last comment explains the problem - there's not enough competition because the government destroys the competition.

Get rid of the onerous regulations that make it impossible for small businesses to find a niche in that industry.

That happens when you have big government, not small government.

In every industry the big players want that to happen, otherwise they'd have to fight competitors on their own.

This is the most criminal segment of our population. I've seen Juan trot this out twice on Fox News, and he's never been called out on it.

  675. the multinationals haven't been around long enough for it to be all prez's, but yes every prez in recent history has been a puppet. Obama is the ultimate insider, btw, very early on during his chicago days george soros took him under his wing and has been supporting him ever since.

  682. @ooMONKEYoo Why are they sitting on the monkey? Partly because the market conditions don't lend themselves to sufficient returns for the investment dollar. Too many regulations and taxes, too many sue-happy people, lackluster spending, etc. The silicon valley boom happened because the people on the sideline decided to risk their money on an opportunity to make more money. The potential reward seemed almost limitless.

  752. You can find graphs that show that during the period from 1900-2010, average worker income tracked precisely with gains in productivity ... until 1973. Since 1973 productivity went up 289% and average worker income went up 3%. Also look at job participation rates and you'll realize there's never been so many working age people who aren't working. We're heading towards a cliff ($21 trillion national debt $100 trillion unfunded liabilities) and this guy is trying to paint a rosy picture.
    1
  753. That article didn't say a thing about job participation rates - which like I mentioned before shows that there's never been such a high percentage of working age people who aren't working - and didn't touch upon the massive rise in the national debt or unfunded liabilities. And the only segment of the working class where's there's been a rapid rise in benefits is the public sector, which is the a big part of the reason we have a $100+ trillion unfunded liabilities.

  754. Anti-male discrimination is rampant. For example, in Las Vegas, the EEOC compelled the casinos to hire female dealers in the 70's. Binions casino payed the fine year after year because they refused to change and hire female dealers.

Number 2 The 12th and 13th floors have the prayer rooms - plural - because there must be at least 2 prayer rooms (male and female). So if you like to call it a community center with a mosque, fine, but don't say it's not a mosque - it's the websters dictionary definition of a mosque.

  815. Thom took a swipe at the Koch brothers - absurd. Of all the corporations that line the pockets of congressmen, Koch should be the last attacked. They contribute to libertarian causes and have for their entire lives. If they did it as an investment, to get a return on their dollar, that would be foolish. Much better to invest in the establishment - repubs and dems - than libertarians who are certainly not the establishment. It was a misguilded partisan snipe by Thom.

  820. @Bladewing10 Again, Obama aims directly and specifically at the US oil and gas industry. Yet, by the federal government's own economic model, these tax hikes would lead to huge, immediate job losses. I ran the numbers through the Commerce Department's RIMS II model; it shows, under the proposed changes to Section 199 and dual capacity, Americans would almost immediately lose more than 150,000 stable, private-sector jobs.Obama's "stimulus" plan would effectively double-tax American businesses.

Power lines, water lines, etc, all that has a very interesting history - and it would've been better if monopolies weren't formed by the government. You won't learn that in public school.

  837. The prosecution must prove his guilt at the jury trial beyond a reasonable doubt. Which means, if the defendant raises self-defense or stand your ground at trial and gets the jury instruction, the state, which has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, must disprove self-defense. If the jury has a doubt, the defendant must be acquitted. From TalkLeft - Stand Your Ground and self-defense. A man is innocent until proven guilt - the burden of proof is on the prosecution.

  864. @3chisox Number one the webster definition of mosque - a building used for public worship by muslims. 12th and 13th floor are prayer rooms. So you can say it's a recreational center with a mosque, but you can't say it's not a mosque. Number 2 Imam Rauf initially wanted to call it the Ground Zero mosque. I guess he was confused about what a mosque is too. Building the tallest mosque in N America 2 blocks from ground zero is practically the same as building it at ground zero.

Big government spending is killing off the working class.

And Asia belongs to asians - Japanese, Korean, Chinese, they're all the same. The irony i tell you.

He'd also push hard for the legalization of marijuana on the federal level, leaving the states to decide their own drug policies.

As for your speculation about what happened, sure, it might've happened differently than how Z said it did, but you have to prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. Good luck with that.

And Mattel wins, they destroy all those small toy manufacturers. Less competition. And that's how crony capitalism works.

Libertarian = political outsider. Libertarians advocate small government, and we've had a very big government for many decades. You're blaming the libertarians - you're blaming the wrong people. Blame the establishment politicians.

And most poverty isn't exploited labor, it's a lack of labor. North Korea for example.

He was beholden to the unions. The real value of vouchers is it allows parents to choose and decide what school is good or bad, unlike public.

Timothy McVeigh was reading all the time so he never bothered me. George Bush is an excellent writer and a very placid man, and sometimes he'd bring out some coke, so he was ok in my book. Stalin was annoying because his answer to every question was "shoot them in the head!". That gets old real fast. Pol Pot was a deadhead.

(The oft-cited figure of 12 million illegal aliens in the country means that they make up just 4% of the general population.)

  1231. @pandarsson Taxing is necessary in a small govt or a big one. How much tax differentiates the two. For most of our country's history there was no income tax - most of our federal govts revenue came from tariffs. Clinton did give us the "free trade" we have now. The fact that the agreements have been altered or renewed since then is irrelevant. My definition of small government? A government that spends a maximum of 20% of GDP (total govt spending - fed, state, local). We're over 43% right now.

The chief reason we were prosperous in the 50's was because of industry - the US was 5% of the world population and produced over 90% of manufactured goods. Do we manufacture goods now?

Egyptians spend more than 40 percent of their monthly income on food, according to a recent consumer survey from Credit Suisse. << and you can find plenty of articles spelling this out - empty stomachs are making people angry.

Instead Cenk isn't worried about Barney Frank's malfeasance - he's worried more about homophobia. Sickening.

Soon we'll be paying dearly for that treachery.

Scaling back on regulations and size of government is not the same as getting rid of it altogether. To be able to argue about this topic, it's important to have a good idea of what's actually happening on the ground, to learn the specifics. Stossels videos are a starting point.

If i want to sell an american made item in Germany, I have to pay a 19% VAT tax. Manufacturers in Germany pay that also, but if when they sell their goods in Germany, that money is refunded to them.

Of these, 222 were classified as "major" rules, each one having an annual effect on the economy of at least $100 million. <<< Deregulation?

You're right, deaths and murders should be taken seriously, and be decided in a court of law. But that doesn't mean every case where someone is accused of murder should be put on trial - there needs to be sufficient evidence in order to go to trial. I don't think there's enough evidence to convict Zimmerman.

  1539. @JohnnyBB82 You continue to assert that questioning Obama's eligibility is racist, but your assertion is just an opinion, nothing more. Going through this entire discussion, you've yet to provide any proof. Only 4 things that you seem to think are proof: 1.BC has been produced (No, just the COLB) 2.Newspaper birth announcements (standard procedure, again, nothing) 3.Fukino's statement 4.Governor's radio interview (not under oath, not admissible in court)

Cenk is an ass for making a parallel between the confederacy and nazi germany.If Cenk had his way, people couldn't have a roaring 20's themed party either - there were immigrants suffering in sweatshops.

If Cenk doesn't approve of a black man dressing up like a slave, i guess he might have a problem with someone dressing up as a submissive in an s&m themed party.

Don't blame repubs for what's happening during this administration. Might change a little in november, though.

Paypal is a more complex case, but it's not a monopoly, because obviously a consumer has many choices, including not using paypal at all.If Walmart charges low low prices, that doesn't qualify as an evil monopoly, that's a good thing for consumers. And the fact is even the mere threat of competition keeps them on their toes. Long term monopoly myth.

File this under "Blame Whitey".

  1591. @pandarsson Read the wiki "Economy of Iceland" how it collapsed. Switzerland has a very strong economy - and low taxes (small government). Private enterprise is the engine of their economy. The UK (you gave England as an example, but it's not separated as far as government finances are concerned) has the same problems as the US - a growing national debt, deficit spending, and an aging population that will drain the economy further. So you didn't pick good examples to bolster your contention.

  1593. @geoff2204 "And the Turks can fess up to what they did to the Armenians as well. Truth all around would help" Wrong verb tense. Yes they did do a post ww1 genocide, but they continue to this day to treat armenians and kurds as second class citizens, and have an ongoing cultural genocide program. Hamas hasn't changed their charter - they still vow to destroy the state of israel. So why should Israel give any land if arabs still vie to destroy them?

  1594. Gee i guess it's impossible to wipe blood off. What kind of material was Zimmerman's jacket made of? Maybe it was stain resistant. Maybe Zimmy managed to roll out from under Trayvon just before he shot. Who knows? Certainly not Cenk, who's convicted Zimmerman in his mind already.

A grandma that wants her grandson to have american citizenship?

  1596. This is what happens when the government spends money and cranks up the printing presses - the spending power of the dollar decreases. When the Fed increases the money supply, that's a tax.

BP didn't spend as much money on preventative measures because they believed the govt would bail them out if a major spill happened.For most of our countries history the government's role in regulating industry was sentinel duty. Not some bureaucracy that watched over day to day operations, but a regulator that would spring into action and prosecute offenders when something happens

In the public sector when labor costs go way up, you can't choose not to pay your much higher taxesThere aren't two adversaries at the bargaining table in public sector collective barg

The three main types are the "government as savior" myth that gets drummed into public school children, and a liberal view of the world, including forcing the notion that the gay lifestyle is fine, and in some schools they teach an anti-european anti-american view of history. Vouchers would encourage lots of different kinds of private schools - including religious.

  1616. One could argue that with a COLB, Obama is a citizen, and he's eligible, that's true, and with that legal piece of paper one would probably be right - it's just that the birthers are right too in saying that the COLB doesn't prove Obama was born in Hawaii, it just proves obamas mom or grandma filled out the forms claiming it to be so. The entire liberal media, walking in lock step, never make that argument - they simply mock and ridicule the birthers by saying misleading things - lying.

  1623. So? He was being beaten down. The techs proved that Zimmerman was under Trayvon when he shot his gun. When they examined his hoody, it was determined that the shot was a contact shot. Direct contact. His autopsy showed it was an intermediate range shot, which means 1 to 18 inches away. That comports precisely with what Zimmerman said - he was on bottom. Trayvons hoody was drooping slightly because he was on top - gravity - so therefore his hoody was 1 inch away from his body.

  1659. Banks didn't redline ghettos because they hate minorities - they redlined them because there was more defaults, even with the same credit score and income. A black man and a white man who have the same credit score, income and assets won't have the same default percentage - the black man will default far more often. Empirical facts. So demanding equality in mortgage approvals despite living in a high default zip code is an affirmative action policy.

Forget the finger pointing, you seem to think the federal government should be big spenders (constitutionally justified). We're deep deep in debt and you're looking at the preamble to justify spending? My advice to you - cut up your credit cards now, and throw away any sharp objects.

You've bought the northern lie that the north wanted to rid the union of slavery. If anything, northerners were more racist back then. If you believe Lincoln proceeded with the civil war because of slavery, i'm sure you believe Bush started the second Iraq war because of weapons of mass destruction. But then again, idiots like you aren't consistent about anything.

Probably because he HAS legal standing.

They make billions in profits and pay practically no taxes and wreck the environment with impunity. And the 1872 mining law still applies - they can buy public lands for $5 an acre or less. Imagine they taxed your paycheck like they tax the mining companies. Imagine you made $30,000 per year gross. You'd end up paying about $12 total in taxes per year.

For all of human history, in any country on the planet, 95% of the population were slaves, serfs or dirt poor. The United States changed that through the mostly unregulated market you so hate.

  1703. @erickofspirit Oh i see, just unionize everyone and we'll all make great money and the CEO's will make only 20 times more. Sure. The reason for the sea change had nothing to do with how many working people were in unions, it had to do with trade policies and big government's relationship with corporations. Public sector unions and private sector unions are 2 different beasts. Public sector union workers are robbing the taxpayers. Don't equate them with the middle or working class.

  1704. Donald Trump is the only presidential candidate talking about serious changes to our trade policies. For instance, he said he'd add a 25% tariff to all imported chinese goods (to offset their de facto tariff - the undervalued yuan).

  1715. Libertarians aren't anti-government, they're anti-bloated federal government. Decentralization of power - the feds having 5 departments - and the states taking up the slack. Federal power begets incredible corruption and a tone-deaf government that grows until our country collapses.

Right now myriads of government regulations (written by lawyers working for the multinationals) cripple smaller competitors, so the multinationals have a virtual monopoly. Less regulations and less government would help the small fish. In 2010 compliance costs for small businesses was a record $1.7 trillion.

  1754. @smaugfrost The problem wasn't with the Constitution, the problem was it's interpretation (which is still a problem today). The Constitution protected the rights of all men - that's how it was worded. It didn't specifically protect groups because that would be redundant nonsense. As long as the term "men" is interpreted as everybody, then the Constitution acknowledges (not bestows, the Creator does that) rights for every man. These amendments were power grabs by the feds under the cloak of PC.

What are the ten commandments after all? An attempt to fight your own natural instincts. You were born wanting to have sex with your neighbor's wife, and coveting your neighbor's goods, does that mean you have no choice but to bone her and steal his lawnmower?

  1777. @nodreale During the first fifty years of the Turkish Republic, the Kurds took up arms 29 times in order to gain basic cultural rights such as education in their own language or being able to give their children Kurdish names. The southeastern part of Turkey, where the majority of the Kurds live, was constantly deprived of economic aid and investments.

At 1:14:30 he again rails against the alt-right and says they wrongly take credit for what their forebears did. We have every right to take pride in our heritage and what our ancestors did. If we want to save Western Civilization, we can't just clean our rooms. That would be like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

  1786. @battim "The poverty rate among black families fell from 87 percent in 1940 to 47 percent in 1960, during an era of virtually no major civil rights legislation or anti-poverty programs. It dropped another 17 percentage points during the decade of the 1960s and one percentage point during the 1970s, but this continuation of the previous trend was neither unprecedented nor something to be arbitrarily attributed to the programs like the War on Poverty.

  1790. @exenrontexas Armey and the Kock family want to help Big Bizz monopolize at the expense of small bizz. Normally this is accomplished by funding the Republican party, but Kock brilliantly anticipated this anti-government movement. They want to corral the Tea Party - make them vote for Repubs who talk the small govt talk. If Kock actually wanted the Tea Party to make the govt smaller and spend less, Kock would've funded the Libertarians or Ron Paul. Dick Armey is anti-Ron Paul. Get it?

  1791. @ytgv3fc7 So you see that the dems and repubs are really part of the same party - the big govt party. They'll team up to attack third parties, especially small govt third parties like the libertarians. Notice that they both attacked the tea party - a two-pronged attack. The dems mudslinged them while the repubs tried to co-opt them with their fake version of the tea party.

  1817. @SaviorOfLogic NAFTA devastated small farmers in Mexico because of the flood of cheap subsidized agricultural products from the US. And many americans lost all sorts of jobs, mostly factory work, because it was much cheaper to have the factories south of the border. Many of the mexicans flooding across our borders are the small farmers who could no longer make a living farming in Mexico. More low-skilled workers and more of a strain on our social safety net.

Small businesses are the engine of our economy - they're the working man's best friend. Multinational corporations who play the crony capitalist game are the enemy.

No. They used the hundreds of millions of dollars that they spend every year for political activity to get dems in office - even though many of those dems were in the pockets of the corporations. The dems were just in charge of the house and senate for years - did they rein in corporate power? Just the opposite. Repubs and dems both work for the corps.

The fund provides a tax credit for job creation, capital investment or related activity. The additional $25 million in credits is not expected to be claimed during the 2011-2013 biennium.So, if employers create new jobs and claim the credits, they would pay less in taxes to the state.

Cuba trades with the rest of the world, so you can't blame their lousy economy on our embargo.

  1868. @scottsway Capital flows where there's the greatest potential for profit (except for government money, which flows towards the biggest political donors). Compliance costs for small businesses last year were estimated at $1.7 trillion. That's a low estimate methinks. Compliance costs are the cost associated with complying with govt regulations. Those costs are continuing upward because of SB501 (food nazis), ObamaCare (1099 forms by the millions) etc etc. Good for corps, bad for small bizz.

  1900. @MarkG45 vouchers are not only feasible, they've been successful. they promote competition and give parents a choice. in dc for example taxpayers paid $28,000 per student per year for a horrible public school system. they gave parents a choice, a $7,500 voucher that could be used for a private school. the parents and children were happy to get out of public school hell, and saved the taxpayers $20k

Protectionists argue that a country that does not participate is at a distinct disadvantage when trading with a country that does.

  1921. @hammy606 The Fed doesn't regulate the banking industry. It's a quasi-governmental agency that sets interest rates and some policy. No oversight. The comptroller of the currency, the FDIC and each state has banking regulators. The government should have and historically has had mostly sentinel duty when it comes to regulating any industry - watching from afar and prosecuting the perps when something goes afoul. That's cheaper than microregulating.

They pushed through a bill that requires all toys to be safety inspected by outside safety inspectors. This adds no cost to them - they make a million units and get one inspected. A small business that makes a few hundred units and sells them on the internet would have to spend thousands for this inspection.

Macabre manslaughter means you didn't intend to kill someone, murder means you did. motive doesn't count for that much, except when there's some reason to sympathize, for instance in domestic abuse cases. if you murder a black man for being black, you should be charged with murder, hate crime laws discriminate against groups not protected by hate crime laws.

  1936. But Trayvon didn't have "parents". His parents divorced in 1999 when he was 4. He grew up in a single parent household - with his mom. That explains why Trayvon attacked Zimmerman. Male children who grow up without a dad usually have impluse control problems and violent tendencies.

  1940. Mexicans revealed their true selves during the midterms. Hispanics in Pew polls said they believe in stronger borders. They lied. The reason there were 8% more hispanics voting during the midterms than the 2016 presidential election - something unprecedented - was because Trump was railing against the caravan. Hispanics saw their tribe being opposed, and they reacted tribally.

  1946. The problem with the form that he's shown is that Obama's mom could've birthed him anywhere, gone to the Dep of Health, and the registrar would've recorded the birth, as long as she was a citizen and could show proof of residency in Hawaii for at least one year. There she'd also fill out the birth announcement forms, which the state would send to the two local newspapers.

  1947. Two problems with Cenk's analysis : this luxury prison was opened in April 2010 so you can't make any association between crime rates, recidivism, and that luxury prison. Second, Norway is a white country, so the right way to compare it to the US would be to compare it to white prisoners in the US. Norway's numbers will get worse as time goes on because of their immigration policies - more minorities, more crimes. Multiculturalism = high crime rate.

  1948. @eboyd32 You're dreaming. A fundamentalist regime will take hold, and not because of popularity, just because of brute force.

He's saber rattling Iran (sanctions can easily lead to war) and escalating in Afghanistan.

Public sector unions (don't even have to bother the private sector unions) spend far more on political activity than corporations do. In California alone, like i've said, they spend at least $255 million a year. Why is this so? Because corporation spend the bulk of their political money in DC. One-stop shopping. Public sector unions spend vast amounts of money on local and state elections (and federal).

  1954. @SpitfireOFatj I never said a thing about factcheck. Source material. Look it up. Imagine you see a great review for an italian restaurant. Then two weeks later you see two scathing reviews - worst italian restaurant ever. Which review do you believe? You don't. You go to the source material - you go to the restaurant. So instead of checking factcheck or a right wing website, read the emails yourself. Actually just go to factcheck - they have a link to the emails.

  1966. @misticspear More kids per teacher? What are you smoking? Vouchers mean lots of choices - if you want a low teacher/student ratio, give your voucher to a school which has one. As it stands, if you're poor and the local schools all have high teacher/student ratios, you're stuck. The public school monopoly model doesn't work. Imagine if we did the same thing with supermarkets. One state supermarket with high prices and bad service. And when you complained, they promised to get better soon.

  1973. @smaugfrost The problem wasn't with the Constitution, the problem was it's interpretation (which is still a problem today). The Constitution protected the rights of all men - that's how it was worded. It didn't specifically protect groups because that would be redundant nonsense. As long as the term "men" is interpreted as everybody, then the Constitution acknowledges (not bestows, the Creator does that) rights for every man. These amendments were power grabs by the feds under the cloak of PC.

  1974. There is a solution to this regulatory dilemma. Have almost no oversight, just a tiny few regulators with little power, and punish after the fact. For instance, after this BP oil leak is fixed, have a trial to see who was culpable. Have the executives shot, as well as long prison sentences for the criminally culpable.

  1976. @ReduceGHGs How would you protect anyone from climate change? By reducing CO2 emissions? Show me a single poll where scientists agree that CO2 is the main impetus for global warming. As far as The Constitution goes, "common good" doesn't mean a bloated federal government with a federal social safety net. If it did, why was the federal govt tiny, actually microscopic, until the Civil War? When Lincoln was inaugurated, the population was 30 million, the # of civilian federal employees was 2500

  1977. "Imagine having dark skin and name recognition and the nerve to think that meant knowing something about politics." I don't see how that's racist. Merely mentioning he's black is racist?

  1983. We had a war on poverty - LBJ's Great Society - and it's been an abject failure. There's an excellent article on this entitled "Leftist fairy tale #2: we won the war on poverty". The gist of article is we've wasted over $15 trillion and haven't decreased latent poverty. Another thing is poverty was already declining before LBJ - it dropped from 30% to 18% from 1950-64. Under LBJ it declined from 18% to 13% but then when his policies really got rolling progress stopped. Thanx for all the wasted $

  1988. @jczg08alt The baby boomers brought this on themselves alright - by acquiescing to the enormous welfare and warfare state that drained the economy. A nation's prosperity is based on the sum total of the productivity of its citizens - and big govt has produced many unproductive people - millions on welfare, millions of bureaucrats churning out useless paperwork. The most productive, the small biz man, carried this burden, plus the burden of compliance costs (up to over $2 trillion a year now).

  2012. @funeralsong34 If a company is inefficient and wastes millions, they'll go out of business. If the public sector is inefficient and wastes billions, they raise taxes. Vouchers for all the children would let the market decide how much a teacher gets paid - that's how the rest of us in the private sector get paid. Give the parents the freedom to choose. Funny how liberals believe in a woman's right to choose to abort her baby, but don't believe in a woman's right to choose how to educate her baby.

Leeches would be drawn to the state (think California) - and productive wealthier people would move to a low tax state.

You're a fan of big government, and since you seem so keen on government running things, let's just get rid of private enterprise altogether. I mean if government is so wonderful, it should be in charge of everything, right?

Female voters planned to choose the incumbent (versus the female, Republican) candidate at a rate of 54.9%.

Obama had divided allegiance at birth, so he wasn't natural born.

United States(1964), ruled that Congress could regulate a business that served mostly interstate travelers.

I don't have a problem with it. If they have a political agenda or bias, sooner or later people will figure that out and competitors will emerge and take the unhappy customers away. Lots of websites have a strong liberal or conservative bias - if google took that road, that's their perogative.

  2174. @misticspear The Cato Institute figured out the true cost of public education in various cities. It was from $20-30k per year per student. Vouchers are typically $7-10k. I don't think there's anyplace where vouchers wouldn't work, with the possible exception of some tiny town in the middle of nowhere. And i see nothing wrong with profits - if a school isn't up to par because of their quest for more profit, they'd lose customers. Competition takes care of those things.

State-run schools used as a cudgel to homogenize our beliefs - to make us all progressives - that's just not right.

Obama's long form should get the same kind of scrutiny. Oh my, but that would be racist!

The feds should be in charge of the military, have a commerce dept (interstate and international trade), and print money. The states can do the rest. States will compete for citizens, which is the result of voting with your feet. Bloated govt states will tax too much, and the productive citizens will flee. That's a great incentive for states to limit the size of govt. Less govt = More better.

  2274. it's a myth that the rich pay for this runaway govt spending - the working man does, and always has - fed income tax isn't what pays for this, it's the degradation of the dollar. workers get paid x dollars, prices go up, only months, sometimes years later, do wages go up. and don't say something about the current deflation - it's only a matter of time before all this printed up money causes inflation. inflation is the invisible tax - since 1933 the dollar has lost about 99% of its value.

Its demographics are changing rapidly, so who knows what the future holds. It's a prosperous country so i think if they have problems it's decades down the road. It's not a good example of multiculturalism since it's still a mostly homogenous country. You might want to study the Roman empire - their "multiculturalism" and balkanization destroyed them.

  2278. Huh? You believe at some point the number of federal regulations decreased? Never happened. Federal regulations got piled on top on regulations. Rarely did anything get repealed (glass-steagall got repealed at the behest of the banksters). The pile of federal regulations is a heck of a lot taller than you are, and every year it gets taller. I can see where this is going - endless argument. I'm not willing to discuss govt regs with someone who hasn't bothered to look at the nuts and bolts.

And now the SS administration has $2+ trillion in these govt bonds - paper. The problem is the demographics are changing and now there's not enough workers and too many people retiring - and there's simply not enough money coming in to pay the bills. 78 million baby boomers want to get paid, and they're all joining a tea party.

A long form would corroborate it - if the long form was derived from a hospital or midwife birth. But if the COLB was obtained by Obama's grandma by filling out forms, that would mean Obama can't prove where he was born.

I'm sure you think that's ok too, although maybe some of the parents might not think so, but who cares about those pesky parents anyway.

  2411. @silva6939 Yes those countries are very happy, but that's because they're almost completely white. No balkanization there, better drug policy, and lucky location - lots of fishing and offshore oil. And you shouldn't take infant mortality rates so seriously - they're joke stats, for example, in cuba, were they spend about 40 bucks a year per person on health care, if a child is at-risk, it's killed after delivery and not counted in their infant mortality stats.

  2412. @fitobcnfito Sorry bubba, the Spanish empire wasn't ever as large as the muslim empire. And it is a victory symbol - after all, the goal is to convert the entire planet, every human being, and some horses, so each mosque represents one step towards that goal. Small steps, small victories.

  2413. 46 seconds into this video, Debbie Hines says "all the erroneous evidence that the defense would like to get in...". There's nothing "erroneous" about showing Trayvon's text messages and things he himself wrote on his Twitter or Facebook. I think Trayvon's fascination with MMA fighting explains why he decided to confront Zimmerman instead of running from him, which he could've easily done. Trayvon bragged of his fighting prowess and talked about his fights. Seems very relevant.

  2414. I didn't agree with the Iraq war, so what's your point? That we should give Obama a pass for anything he does, no matter how many people die? So you're saying Bush was such a bad prez that we should never criticize Obama for any of his failures? You sound like the dude who rails against the cop who cites him for speeding, screaming about unsolved murder cases and babbling about fines and tickets are immoral taxes. Take yer meds and stop living in yer mom's basement.

  2415. @lynchmobb2000 Voucher schools have great incentive to get as many vouchers as they can, so the competitive ones take the voucher as full payment of tuition. The DC voucher program is a good example. The average household income of those in that program was $26k. In other words, poor. And that voucher program covered tuition and books in toto. As for the $100 k figure, you can find that online - that's total compensation, including pension and health care benefits.

  2416. @pandarsson The best measure of how big the government is is spending to GDP. We're at an all-time post ww2 high right now - well above 43% (total government spending - federal, state and local). That's an anvil around the neck of the productive people and industries. Compliance costs went above $1.7 trillion last year - also a record.

  2439. @inademv Big corporations write the regulations for their industry, and tailor those regulations to destroy small competitors. So you're part right - scrapping most of the regulations would mean a freer market and more competition. But that doesn't mean companies would be free to pollute with abandon. The government would have sentinel duty and take the egregious polluters to court. The way it is right now, corporations never had it so good. Control of the govt and suppression of competition.

Nothing before that had seen such an enriching of the common man. That's why millions upon millions immigrated here and they kept immigrating here. Cap and trade will cost trillions and probably won't help with carbon emmissions. Europe had a cap and trade scheme and their carbon emmissions went up, at the same time CO2 went down in the US.

Where'd he get the money to pay for his big tats?

Fertility rates persistently below the generation replacement level, and an increasing life expectancy are the main factors explaining the ageing process of the Canadian population. So you have the same problems as the US - baby boomers approaching retirement age. Huge increase in costs for the elderly.

Let's say the Supreme Court decides warrentless wiretaps are constitutional or unconstitutional. That's still the federal government deciding what's permissible or not.

That's 28 such deaths per year in Britain. In the US, with 5 times the population, we average 700 such deaths per year. So that means on a per capita basis, 5 times as many such deaths occur in the US. Plus in the last 3 years the rate has plummetted in Britain.

  2515. @DisturbedHavok No one needs to make sacrifices to bring down the deficit - the federal government just has to cut spending.

I, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, director of the Hawaii State Department of Health, have seen the original vital records maintained on file by the Hawaii State Department of Health verifying Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii and is a natural-born American citizen.

  2527. @pandarsson Protectionism isn't big government. The most common form of protectionism is a tariff on imported good, which the US had (averaged 30%) until Clinton signed NAFTA and other "free trade" (managed trade) agreements. That's one of the things hurting the US, so called free trade.

Bush bailed out the banks - so did the dems - and Obama is continuing on that theme.

  2542. @eugeneonegin09 Why did you bring up newspapers? That's off-topic. Why do businesses spend money for advertising? To make money. And the only way it works is if the ad reaches enough of the right people. If their target audience is liberal or conservative, they'll advertise on a medium popular with liberals or conservatives. Again, the market decides who dies and who thrives. Great radio shows like Michael Savage's thrive because that's what people want to hear.

The electoral vote count was extremely close, 277 to 254. During his presidential campaign, Hughes’s eligibility for the presidency was questioned because his father remained a British subject (just like Obama's dad).

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". It doesn't say that religion is a trump card that compels every community to allow a church anywhere they like. The protesters are expressing their opinion - that's protected by the constitution too.

  2556. @oolong2 There's only one path in a country as large as the US for anyone to feel they're being represented by the government - decentralization. A small federal govt, as envisioned by the founders, with the states picking up the slack. The more "local" the government, the less tone-deaf. DC politicians ignore the wills of the people and listen to those vested interests who give the biggest political contributions.

  2557. I would ask Palin for her birth certificate - because i'm hoping against hope that the bill that requires all presidential candidates to release their birth records passes. The question is - why are the democrats against such a bill? Could it be because they realize that in 2012 obama will be stuck like a pig if such a law exists?

  2561. In effect the UK is outlawing a belief system. One belief system trumps another by dint of the law - the law decides that certain beliefs are inferior. Next maybe their law will ban religion outright. It's the next logical step. Thom uses the term "fully developed" as if religious beliefs were infantile, and secular beliefs are fully developed. That's bigotry too.

One group produces reports no one ever reads, another compiling statistics and facts that will never be used. This mountain of paperwork they "produce" is not productive at all. There are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of such workers - and that's just on the federal level. All of those unproductive paper pushers could be producing for this country, instead they're wasted.

  2564. Obama will never allow arizona-like bills to go through - texas has one in the pipeline too - because the way those laws are worded they won't allow obama to skate by with the posting of a certificate of live birth, or birth certificate. No, the bill insists that in order for any presidential candidate to get on the ballot, they must legally release ALL their birth records. obama will never do that.

  2565. @MarmaladeINFP I must prefer decentralized power. States and local governments can protect the citizens against big biz. That way, if big biz wants to bribe the government, they must bribe many many more people. All the state and local politicians. When the feds do all the protecting, that just makes for one-stop shopping for the bribe givers.

  2568. @jarhewes1 Health insurance for retirees. This benefit is rarely offered any more in private companies, and it can be quite costly. This is especially the case for teachers in many states, because the eligibility rules of their pension plans often induce them to retire in their 50s, and Medicare does not kick in until age 65. Milwaukee's plan covers the entire premium in effect at retirement, and retirees cover only the growth in premiums after they retire.

A privately owned company should have the same freedom - to associate with or reject any customer or employee he wants to.

  2625. @Incognegroes Larger, publicly traded companies face additional costs. When lawmakers created the Medicare drug benefit in 2003, they wanted to make sure that employers who already were providing prescription drug coverage to their retirees didn't drop them and shift the cost to taxpayers. They offered a tax break that was generous enough for employers to continue to provide the retiree coverage but still cheaper than having taxpayers foot the full bill.

That would take care of the $1.6 trillion annual deficit - if people didn't change the number of hours they worked. But i've got a feeling that high earners aren't stupid, and wouldn't keep working after they hit the $200k threshold. And since high earners wouldn't have any money to invest, new businesses would be a thing of the past.

The founders were citizens of the US at the time of the Adoption, so they're eligible, so no one had to ask them for a bc. "Natural Born Citizen" can only mean those Americans who were born without allegiance to a foreign power. Obama's dad was a British subject, so Obama was born with dual citizenship.

In the political realm, many examples come to mind, the most obvious one being Obama. If a white man with Obama's credentials and lack of experience ran for president, he wouldn't have won a single caucus, much less the presidency. Alvin Greene had less than no experience - and he was a moron - yet he defeated Vic Rawl (whitey) in the democratic primary.

That would mean only that the .4% difference was very unlikely to be the result of sampling error. The null hypothesis of "no difference" could be rejected.

People have always noticed race.

But let's pretend you're right - you're saying that you'd vote for Obama over Paul, even though that would mean neverending wars, and thousands more dead, because you think Paul is a homophobe and racist? Not that either of those things matter, because those views don't translate into federal policy. Name something you fear Paul doing - what could he possibly accomplish that would negate his pulling the troops out of the Middle East?

LA public schools spend $25k per student per year, and perform only a little better than DC public schools. The rich cost more than the poor? No, the politically connected and crony capitalists cost more. The war on poverty has cost trillions, and, like the war on drugs, is a bottomless pit.

He was destined to do what he did - he did it despite the bloated govt. You imagine a causative relationship - absurd. Look a cali's budget - they spend more on prisons than they do on colleges.

  2900. @flyingmagiccarpet The government has been growing for decades, regulations have been increasing for decades, and you want this to continue. Corporate and banking interests control the government. And you want more government. Our debt grows by the trillions, and you see no danger in that. I'm the opposite. I see government as a parasite, a threat to this country's existence. The danger of the debt is reality - wake up.

  2901. The people in Orleans were so dependent on government they didn't do a damned thing for themselves - not so much as to stock up on water, not a single jug. Gas for the car? Nope, it's near the end of the month so the government check is spent.

  2902. @martygrim there was an implication in your last tell that this entire issue is due to obama being black. that's the race card tactic. at this point it's obvious that the birthers won't succeed in seeing his birth records, so the only thing accomplished will be putting obamas eligibility in doubt, and because of that he'll lose a few votes.

  2904. @dangerouslytalented Health care costs will go down? Hasn't worked in any system? Well i guess you haven't been paying attention to Greece. They're being forced to trim costs - and one of the ways that's been proposed is privatizing their public health care system. Their public health care bureaucracy is bloated and expensive, so the solution is to privatize it.

  2913. @Guernicaman Remember what they said - they stole from the middle class. They didn't steal from the underclass, actually the underclass has stolen trillions from the system. So this "attack them" rationale only works if you're in the middle productive class. That exposes a simple fact that the teens and 20s lower class that attacked the middle class in the London riots were doubly unjustified. They've never paid into the system with their sweat, and they're attacking the wrong people.

TYT should've done an episode on "Beat Whitey Night" or "Violent Flash Mobs" - but they don't because black on white racism doesn't fit their narrative.

  2950. @oolong2 The solution to massive corruption - downsize the government, especially the federal govt. Less power, less scope, lower budget, means less to sell to corporations.

Compliance costs for small businesses continue to rise - in 2009 $1.7 trillion and in 2010 $2.0 trillion. The death of small businesses is the death of the middle class.

  2969. @veksink Who pays for the higher wages? Non-union workers via higher prices. Imagine every job was union with higher wages and better benefits. Would that be better than all non-union? No, because the prices for goods and services would be so high that your higher wages would be meaningless. Union workers are only better off when they're in the minority. That way they get higher wages but benefit from low priced non-union goods and services.

And it's possible to mobilize the citizens against the govt if you've got a town with 100,000 citizens - not so on the fed level. Now the corruption in DC is brazen and unapologetic - and mass media can spin it for them. Bridge to nowhere? Who cares it's fed $.

  2993. @VigilanteNighthawk I never said corporations aren't the problem. I'm pro-small business, anti-corporation. Why? Because nowadays corporations use the power of the government to rig the game. They hobble competition with government regulations. I'd have no problem with corporations that would use their scale to sell products cheaply - like Walmart. But Walmart uses its government influence to get sweetheart property tax deals - that's what i'm against. Free competition without govt interference.

  2994. @KataVideo Bizarre that liberals would be anti tea party. A true liberal wants less money spent on the military, and no more unnecessary wars, something the repubs and dems don't offer, except in political rhetoric. Many tea partiers are libertarians, so of course they want much less spent on military, and the neo-cons that are at the tea parties are rubbing shoulders with libertarians, who sometimes convert them and steer them away from their pro-militaristic beliefs.

  2997. @smaugfrost Sorry liver lips, equating same sex marriage with interracial marriage is as bogus as equating interracial marriage and interspecies marriage. It's a public policy issue, not a civil rights issue. As for casinos, the EEOC pressured casinos to hire minorities, bigtime. That's the reason minorities were treated better and got benefits much faster - and not just at Ballys. They fined casinos in vegas for years that didn't have enough women and minorities. Binions was the last holdout.

  3028. Zimmerman is clearly out of shape, you can hear it on his 911 call. When Zimm gets out of his SUV, and runs for 5-7 seconds, then stops, you can hear him hufffing and puffing. Trayvon quit football when he was 14, but those years of being an athlete don't go away so quickly, especially since he's only 17. It's about perception too - Zimm is being beaten up and he's afraid. It's not much of a leap to believe he feared for his life.
    1
  3029. @athpot No, that's not what i'm saying. I'm saying Cenk reports only on things that fit his narrative - and a band of blacks beating the crap out of whites doesn't fit his narrative. I watch TYT religiously - hardly ever miss an episode - same with thom hartmann. But the bias is clear (only the plight of minorities is covered, injustices and suffering by whites .... eh, not so much),

  3030. The government is like a batter with a .002 batting average, and Thom is pointing out a couple of the home runs that batter hit. He forgets about the countless tens of trillions wasted by the government. No cost/benefit analysis.

  3031. @marcostar57 idiotic analogy? no, it's very precise. obama is spending more money on more programs for more people than anyone before him, with one single exception - old people. he's cutting $500 billion from medicare, no cost of living increases for 2010 and 2011, and the old people are swarming to tea parties to protest. just pure racism for complaining.

  3036. Florida's Stand Your Ground law allows a person to use deadly force if he feels his life is in danger. Kinda hard for the prosecution to prove he didn't feel his life was in danger. And, since the burden of proof is on the prosecution, Zimm won't be convicted. Was his nose broken or just bloodied? I don't know, and neither do you, but it's not crucial in any case.

  3047. Yes what Obama has shown the public is a genuine CERTIFICATE OF LIVE BIRTH - not a birth certificate (as cenk uygur has repeatedly mistakenly called it) - Big difference. Obama's mom could've birthed Obama anywhere on the planet, then gone to the Health Department building in Honolulu and claimed he was born in Honolulu - all she would have to show is that she's a citizen and has resided in Hawaii for at least a year.

If they can retrieve and detain material witnesses, and it's already established that they can retrieve and detain them in state, i don't see why they can't get them out of state.

  3050. @beatsbytheory My point? Obama's been spending like a drunken sailor, throwing money around and stimulating everything - with one exception - old folks.

And anything that was wasteful is still wasteful - just less money to use, so some people are gonna be shorted somehow.

Nothing stopping them. If they want to change the definition of marriage, fine, just don't call it a civil right.

  3067. Government option is surely more accurate than public option. The public option costs every taxpayer money, it's another government bureaucracy, so there's no option about paying for it. So with the public option, your option is paying once or paying twice. Calling it a public option is misleading - it suggests that you can opt out, that you have an option. You don't. You pay.

  3072. The US didn't rip off any black farmers - Cenk is dead wrong. Pigford was about government loans - and black farmers had more problems getting the loans. The total number of black farmers in the US was 28,000.The total number of black farmers that got paid - 98,000.There was no oversight in paying this claim - literally you filled out a form, and if you were going for a $50k payout you got paid. And Pigform 2 was dead wrong-allowed more claimants after the expiration date. This was pure hustle.

  3074. @arrrogantlyignorant Yes a COLB is a valid document. I understand that. I just want some corroborating evidence. The COLB doesn't tell you how it was derived. It might've been derived from hospital records. Or it might've been derived from a relative who filled out the COLB forms and asserted Obama was born in Hawaii. This was quite common back then - people would birth at home and then go to the Health Dept in Honolulu to fill out the required forms.

Before the civil war, in most parts of the south, laborers weren't doing any worse than their northern counterparts. After the civil war, of course, the south was reduced to rubble and people were starving. It stayed that way until after WW2. Southerners didn't need to be told anything about the reasons they were fighting - they were defending their homeland.

  3085. Who owns Bernie Sanders? The banksters. Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders worked together for months on an Audit The Fed bill. When it came time to introduce it and bring it to a vote, Bernie pulled a switch without telling Ron Paul a thing.

  3086. If a white person like Cenk is having a discussion about the N word and he uses it, maybe that's ok. But you can't deny that there's a total double standard with not only the N word but racial epithets generally. Blacks get a pass, whites don't.

  3106. @hamnose Hey moron i'm against any kind of bailout or any government market manipulation. When you talk about getting public money for any private business, that's no longer capitalism, that's crony capitalism. Let them compete in the free market. The post office routes can be competitive bidded for 5 year installments, for example. Lots of ways to privatize it.

  3108. the health care reform shows how tone-deaf the government is. nobody should be happy with that, even the progressives know it's worthless. when the dollar breaks, which it will, nobody really knows what's going to happen, so being armed is absolutely necessary.
    1
  3109. There will probably be a trial, though the only reason is to appease the mob. The prosecution has no evidence which disproves Zimmerman's version of events, which means they can't convict. Zimmerman doesn't have to prove anything. His lawyer explains his version of events, and it's the prosecution that must refute it. Even if Zim were the original aggressor, that doesn't preclude him from stand your ground protection (at least that's the way it works in Florida).

Not to mention the saber rattling against Iran, which could easily lead to another war.

Many cultures in the past would sell their daughters for marriage. In many cultures consent is nonsense - the parents or authorities would decide what's best, and that's what happened. What you're asking for is a change in our cultural norms - don't be suprised if some say "hell no!".

  3158. As the U.S. languishes, Chile posted a head-turning 15.2% yearly gain in GDP in March, and forecasts for the year are rising. Why can’t we do that here? Goldman Sachs’ chief economist for Latin America, Alberto Ramos, says Chile has wisely fostered growth by reducing the size of government and not printing too much money. In 2011, it cut government spending to 5% of GDP, or $700 million, more than its projected 5.5%. So GDP has room to grow 6.4%, rather than 6% as first estimated.

And no matter how much we trade with Mexico, labor will always be cheap there. Just a handful of families in Mexico prosper greatly, and the rest get very little from the american money flowing in. So i still don't believe that our "free trade" is a good idea. Yes, you're right, we don't have true free trade obviously.

  3179. @flyingmagiccarpet You're pretending big corporations are kept in check by a powerful government with many regulations. This is simply not true. The power you give the government is used against the enemies of the corporations - small business. The government makes lots of regulations designed to destroy pesky small business competitors, so the corporation can charge more money. So the consumer pays more (less competition) and taxpayers pay more taxes. Great idea.
    1
  3180. @JayPhilosopher I guess you haven't noticed that the bigger the government got, the more power corporations got. That's not by accident. Corporation rule government, so by giving government more power you're giving corporations more power. Corporations use government as a cudgel to destroy competition from small businesses. Corporations write government regulations and design them so that corporations rule. True libertarian tea partiers (not the Palin neo-cons) know this.

The floodgates of trade were opened to the third world. Ross Perot warned us about "the big sucking sound", and he was right.

  3279. @JayPhilosopher I guess you didn't read my tell. The bigger and more powerful government gets, the more bribe-worthy it is. The government is huge and powerful now, and corps have never had it so good - bailouts and most regulations written by lawyers working for the regulated industry. And no political donation reform scheme can change this. And you're not going to find a crop of politicians who are angels. The only fix is a small federal government and strong states.

  3280. @TZ3k No, corporations are in charge because of government. Without the aid of the government, corporations would have lots of competition from small and medium sized businesses. Corporations use government to destroy that competition through regulations. So you, the consumer and taxpayer, lose twice. You pay more for the product, and pay for the government and its regulations.

The politicians do the bidding of the corporations.So small business suffers, and corporations rule. No tariffs left, so everything gets outsourced.

Plus, locals have more of a vested interest in local corruption.

At least such behavior at the state and local level is limited. And if a state or city gets really bad, you can move to another.

In Gabon the vast majority live on less than $2 a day and every year thousands starve to death. Ali Bongo and his family get billions in oil money - own a few $25 million + homes and live in the lap of luxury.Were the 19 saudis part of the saudi government? No. Just a group of jihadists who happen to have been born in Saudi. Ali Bongo is more of a scumbag than the leader of the Sauds

  3392. @TTEchidna Why not make racism illegal while you're at it? Make any and all racist speech illegal, and let the liberals decide what's racist. and protect all ugly people by making a law against declining dates from overweight people with bad skin. And private clubs should be banned by the government altogether, since they have criteria for joining and that's discriminatory. For example, when MENSA declined your application.

"This is the only employer I've ever worked for where you don't get coverage the first day you are employed”, he said through his spokeswoman, Anna Nix. Through a spokesman, his defeated opponent, Frank Kratovil, seized upon this dialogue, mischaracterizing the question as a “demand” for special treatment and for access to the benefits he opposed in the new law.

  3397. @mikepalomino Ron Paul is still in office, his constituents voted him into office a dozen times i believe. For almost his entire career Ron Paul was a libertarian, in 1998 he ran as the libertarian presidential candidate. In 2008 he tried to get the republican nomination and failed. Republicans at one time were as conservative as Ron Paul - at least some of them (Barry Goldwater). Ron Paul is trying to push them back into their fiscal conservative roots.

Strictly speaking, the government doesn't need to be involved in education.

Education should be about critical thinking skills, learning how to learn, not being force fed a belief system (multiculturalism). The problem would be solved if vouchers were available, then parents would be in control, they'd have more choices, and schools heavy on multicultural pap would be put out of business.

  3442. @surrealnumber During WW2 people couldn't buy much. Some things were scarce because they were needed to supply the military - gas, oil, metal, meat and other foods, for example. Sugar and coffee were very scarce. They didn't make Coca-Cola during the war because sugar was so scarce. When the war ended, more good were available and the people were spending their savings. So all the WW2 rationing forced people to save, and the pent-up savings drove the economic boom in the 40s.

They would pay an estimated $33.5 million less per year in income and franchise taxes.

The value of each coin is according to their weight and the market value of the two metals. These coins are popular in Indonesia because they're not subject to artificial inflation, like paper money (rupia).

Hypocrisy is the state of pretending to have beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities, or standards that one does not actually have. Hypocrisy involves the deception of others and is thus a kind of lie. Where's the lie?

I guess i've talking to another liberal who likes to use western europe as an example of various things, but doesn't actually know much about western europe, or history. Putting the power in the hands of the few might work out for short periods, it falls into what i call the "good king" government. As long as you "king" is ok, things are fine.

Senator Lindsay Graham reported last night (9/25/08) in an interview with Greta Van Susteren of On the Record that Democrats want 20 percent of the bailout money to go to ACORN! This entire fiasco represents perhaps the pinnacle of ACORN's efforts to advance the Cloward-Piven Strategy and is a stark demonstration of the power they wield in Washington.

Banks that got poor reviews were punished; some saw their merger plans frustrated; others faced direct legal challenges by the Justice Department.

  3528. @athpot Racism exists - but there's more black racism than white. Most whites are taught that racism is wrong, that the worst thing you can be is a racist. Blacks have bought into the liberal belief that the only reason blacks are in such terrible shape is because of white racists - which is absolute bunk. Most of the problems in the black community are rooted in single parent households, and that happened as a result of LBJ incentivizing single moms to live in public housing and getting welfare

It was not an actual rape, but a symbolic action which Dominique all but invited. This was the action she wanted and Howard Roark knew it.”

Corporations hoarding their cash have nothing to do with this. All the policies of the federal government have favored the corporations at the expense of the small business owners, which is one of the reasons our economy isn't recovering and jobs aren't being created.

The hypothesis proposes that if this process is interrupted by an abortion – before full maturity in the third trimester – then more relatively vulnerable immature cells could be left than there were prior to the pregnancy, resulting in a greater potential risk of breast cancer over time.

Anyway, the right answer is all socialized med countries have death panels or lifetime and yearly limits.

He espouses a smaller federal government and self-determined states, which could very well include a social safety net. Obama doesn't work for the little guy.

  3621. @gregonamus "Since Reagan, taxes have gotten lower on the rich, regulations have subsided, and gov shrunk." When Reagan started, the federal budget was quite a bit under a trillion - his last budget ballooned - $1.15 trillion. The budget for 2010 was $3.8 trillion. The number of federal regulations increases each year - now there are over 150,000 pages of rules, and the cost of compliance is estimated at $1.9 trillion. This is what you call a shrinking government?

  3623. I'm not an anarcho-libertarian. Libertarians of my stripe believe in small government - especially on the federal level. It's called a sentinel duty government - they don't micromanage with a mountain of regulations. But when a company does damage or cheat, it's not just a matter of a fine, it's criminal charges and jail time. I should mention that you've probably confused libertarians with anachists.

What you might be alluding to is the fact that when the corporate tax rates are raised high enough, it's in the interest of the corporation to plow their profits back into the company so they don't have to pay the high taxes. They'll take the profits out eventually - when the corporate tax rates go down. Of course, high taxes like that would dissuade other businesses from starting up at all - and there go all those potential jobs.

  3715. @connecticutman1 There has been no free market, therefore the free market hasn't failed. The only reason these "monstrous corporations" can charge what they like is because the govt is working with them, making sure there's no competition from small companies. Health care insurance is no different than any other business - more competition, more companies fighting for customers means lower prices, better service. Government regulations only help the few, the monsters, so get rid of them.

You're anti-choice? And if a voucher school sucked, they'd fail, unlike public school monopolies. And public employees are bankrupting us - just look at california. Vouchers save taxpayer money.

  3722. @connecticutman1 The only reason CEO's and their boards have HUGE salary packages is because of a lack of competition - the government has eliminated the small fries.

Now if only the government would allow the free market...won't happen, government always wants more money and more power.

If Obama has and releases his hospital long form, then he's on the ballot. This legislation ensures that these birther questions never pop up again, and that candidates are more publicly vetted (not in a cigar-smoked filled back room).

  3731. @NoogLeader You don't seem to understand what a spending freeze is. The federal budget for 2011 is $3.8 trillion. A ten year spending freeze would mean the budget stays at $3.8 trillion for the next ten years. That's plenty of money. Normally the federal govt uses a baseline with a yearly increase of 5% (based on the estimated average increase in GDP) - so the budget would automatically increase by at least 5%. In 2011 we added an almost $1 trillion stimulus (supposedly a one-time stimulus).

Big guv is killing small biz with taxes and regulations (written by Big Bizz to hobble competition) and Big Labor which pushes for bigger guv so as to have more members

  3773. @oolong2 Maybe you did not understand. You have a store. Net profit for the year 500k. You're the sole proprietor. You give yourself a salary of 500k, therefore your store (a corporation) made no profit. No corporate tax. But you had a salary of 500k so you pay personal income tax. Simple enough. Do you have a problem with any of that?

  3779. @oolong2 You own a store. The store makes $100k profit for the year. The reasonable thing for you to do is to give yourself a salary of $100k and pay personal income tax. No tax on your store (it's incorporated). To do otherwise would mean you'd be taxed twice on the same profit. Why would anyone do that? So your "corporation" (store) made zero profit and you pay no corp tax. Do you really think that's evading taxes somehow?

  3782. @ThriceThursday The big corporations love regulating industries - they have more money, so they can get laws passed that squish small businesses out of existence. Republicans are not my pals (i'm a libertarian) and it's not deregulation that's hurting us, it's too much government. The size of the federal govt doubled in the past 10 years. BP got cheap on precautions because of government meddling - the govt put a $75 million cap on their liability - this oil spill caused at least $15 billion.

Should i do it? How good is the potential return on investment? Best case i make a solid profit on that store. If so, how much tax will they take away? 10%? 90%? The answer will affect my return on investment. If the taxes are too high, then the risk to my capital is not worth the small reward.

These include an undemarcated border with Sudan, a war with Yemen over the Hanish Islands in 1996, and a recent border conflict with Ethiopia.

  3791. @MarmaladeINFP I disagree with Rand on BP, and the coal mining accident. Obama is no friend to small business. Section 9006 of the health care bill -- just a few lines buried in the 2,409-page document -- mandates that beginning in 2012 all companies will have to issue 1099 tax forms not just to contract workers but to any individual or corporation from which they buy more than $600 in goods or services in a tax year. This means millions more 1099 forms and more compliance costs

  3911. @dannyhulse Notice how much Cenk has been bashing the tea partiers and ask yourself why. If tea partiers were just republicans and former republicans, then liberals should love them and leave them alone - they're splitting the republican party, which is good for the dems. But of course the dems work with the republicans in many ways, and the dems know when push comes to shove they can rely on repubs to help spend this country into oblivion. Not necessarily so with tea partiers.

Conversely, the selling price of a product made in a participating country and sold in a country that does not participate, bears no part of the tax burden of the country in which it is sold (as do the domestic products it is competing with).

Austerity is necessary - it will happen - we'll either do it or circumstances will force it upon us with a collapse.

It’s not that they aren’t paying taxes, as the headline incorrectly says, but rather that the money is not flowing to the government through the corporate levy.

  3982. @scottandrewhutchinsAll government employees should realize that the process of collective bargaining, as usually understood, cannot be transplanted into the public service.It has its distinct and insurmountable limitations when applied to public-personnel management.The very nature and purposes of government make it impossible for administrative officials to represent fully or to bind the employer in mutual discussions with government-employee organizations.The employer is the whole people FDR

He's railing against the N's and going through all the negative stereotypes - they can't read, they steal, etc.Dr Laura didn't use the N word with any derogatory connotations - she was simply pointing out how blacks use the N word incessantly, doesnt bother blacks, but they're super racially sensitive when a white person speaks

They're also the same people who're pushing gay education on grade school children.

Labor negotiations in the private sector involve unionized workers, who want to be paid well, and business owners, who want to pay the lowest wage possible. It doesn't work that way in the public sector. There you have unionized workers who want high wages and politicians who want to be reelected - both conspiring to burden the taxpayer to the extreme.

  4103. Food stamps and welfare are two different things. When people say welfare they're talking about TANF, a direct welfare program in which blacks are overrepresented by a factor of 5. In other words, in absolute numbers there's about the same number of blacks and whites in that program, but there's about 5 times as many whites as blacks in the US population.

"At one point, when a generous tax break was about to expire, the head of GE's tax team met with Representative Charles Rangel, (known criminal) then chairman of the ways and means committee, and begged for an extension on one knee. Supposedly it was a joke, but GE got its extension, and Rangel got a $30 million gift for New York City schools." Rangel saved the multinationals tens of billions - he's a criminal. And Thom is treating him with great respect. Pitiful.

  4107. @captcrais101 Net neutrality will give more regulatory power to the FCC over the internet. The FCC will do the bidding of the Big Boys. Therefore net neutrality increases the power of the large corporations. Same pattern repeated across all industries. Governmental power gets corrupted. Drones for surveillance seem useful - and less dangerous than police chases. Yes, get rid of the TSA and Homeland Security, i agree.

He would be standing his ground in that case when he attacked Z. But Z would also have a legitimate SYG claim in that instance. This is what's called a concurrent claim. Cenk almost certainly knows this, and never mentioned it, which makes him a dishonest actor.

Public sector unions demand more and more tax money, and of course the taxpayers are eventually going to push back.

It's also true that blacks default at a higher rate than whites - even when their credit scores and incomes are identicle. Banks want to grant loans just like car dealers want to sell cars, but bankers hate defaulters.

If people believe in man-induced global warming, more money more money more money. Funny how humans see things differently when it's in their best interest to see things differently.

If 20 million illegals moved to california next week, employers could pay much less - i could go to home depot and offer a twenty for 5 hours work and there'd be a taker. But i see your point - IT workers can be in India, or here, either way they're competing with american IT workers. Same with mexican factory workers.

Corn ethanol is worse than a boondoggle - it's creating food shortages. Global warming, even if it were true, can't be addressed with any global initiative, especially carbon credit schemes which are rife with corruption. Koch Industries lobbies - 35,000 lobbyists in DC. Half of all congressmen become lobbyists. Koch is not noteworthy in this respect.

Legacy is earned - and by the way, the graduation rate of legacies is much higher than the rest of the student body. Which is very important and valuable to the college. And money is earned, therefore bribery is a way to transform one form of earnings into another. So both legacy and bribery are earned leg ups, and affirmative action is unearned.

Back when Obama was born the protocol was the same for any hospital with a maternity ward.The hospital would make a record of the birth,which included the signatures of the doctor and witnesses, time of birth,name of hospital etc.That original,which is what people call the long form or vault copy, would remain in the possession of the hospital.They'd send copies of that document to the state. If Obama was born in a hospital in Hawaii that long form exists.That's what the birthers are asking for.

When asked where he got it, he claimed a friend gave it to him, though he wouldn't name the friend. Another time he was caught with a baggies with traces of mj and a pipe. He was a drug addled thief.

I don't care if it's administration pay, teacher's salaries or how much they pay for gardening. That's too much per student.

He made a speech in the Rose Garden where he mentioned Benghazi, and mentioned the original attack on 9-11, then said we will respond to any terrorist attack (but didn't call Benghazi specifically a terrorist attack). Even if you interpreted it that way, why for the next two weeks didn't anyone from his administration call it a terrorist attack and instead characterized it as a spontaneous response?

For the libertarians to get into power and then to pass legislation ridding the EPA is an absurd long shot.

WORK RULES - Fords 2,215 page 2007 master contract with the UAW - work rules are enforced by union bureaucracies—members of each plants shop committee, grievance committee, health and safety committee, etc. Theyre all paid by the companies, as are their legions of corporate counterparts. One mans feather-bedding is another mans job.

  4335. @A86There is one type of hawaiian COLB that is issued on request-they no longer issue copies of your hospital long form. Such a form exists, and that has been the crux of the birther argument for a long time. Chris Matthews, a liberal on MSNBC, a longtime anti-birther, has recently said what Lou Dobbs has said many many times - If you were born in a hospital, there's a long form, release it. Watch it on youtube. Are you saying the hospital will refuse Obama's request for a copy of his long form?

But the hundreds of thousands of useless federal regulations make it nearly impossible for small businesses to function, and ObamaCare hasn't even kicked in yet. Compliance costs for small businesses $2 trillion in 2010 - that's insane. More than 2 million civilian federal employees with a total payroll of $297 billion - that's insane.

The prison guard unions have lobbied for 3 strikes and similar longer sentencing guildlines, for example in California. The difference between private and public prisons? Prison guards make mint and have ludicrous pensions - that's one of the reasons California will never be able to pay all the pension money (the $500 billion pension bomb). Of course, these public unions support dems, so Cenk won't say zip.

  4350. @Umberto2In the 1980s, groups such as the activists at ACORN began pushing charges of "redlining"-claims that banks discriminated against minorities in mortgage lending. In 1989, sympathetic members of Congress got the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act amended to force banks to collect racial data on mortgage applicants; this allowed various studies to be ginned up that seemed to validate the original accusation.

So Cenk - quit spewing that tripe about taxes being low.

In Milwaukee the pay is very different from private sector pay - it's very benefit-heavy. Salary is too transparent, so politicians and teachers prefer to grant pay increases in a sneakier way - benefits. So the avg salary is $56k and benefits $45k. They only work 180 days -10 sick x 8 hours =1360 hours/year.

Public sector unions spend $255 million a year in California for political activity. They control the political agenda. And when they "negotiate" for more money, who's at the table? The union, the bought and paid for politician - and guess what? no chair for the taxpayers.

In California the state has $500 billion in unfunded public sector employee pensions. They're way beyond broke. The pensions are way too generous, and this is true wherever there are public sector employee unions. These unions are bankrupting cities and states across the country. The damage is done.

Dems focus on more domestic spending, repubs on military spending. So they compromise - more domestic and more military spending. So in reality they're equally guilty in both realms. And unions don't do anything at all to combat this, although they could because of their vast amounts of money and political power. Unions are for unions - they're not for the working class

Voucher schools are generally a fraction of the per student cost of public schools, but the chief problem of looking at them is there have been so few programs and those programs have been small scale.

But all that is moot - the beauty of voucher programs is you know exactly the cost going in - a $7k or $10k voucher

When states do things that were formerly done by the feds, you can do something - you can vote with your feet. You can move away from that state. Same with cities.

If the govt hires a million men to dig holes, and a million men to fill in those holes, they haven't produced anything. That's what government bureaucrats do - unproductive jobs.

Hell, i had to fill out more forms and provide more proof for my job than Obama ever did.

  4580. @CmdrTobs Were you aware of the DC voucher program? If not, google it. DC public schools spent the most per student, in total about $27k per student per year, yet were the worst performing in the country, as well as violent and dirty (blogs dedicated to this). The $7,500 vouchers saved the taxpayers money, let the parents pick which voucher school they went to, and were a huge improvement. And the average household income of the voucher families was $26k. Unfortunately Obama defunded the prog.

Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) identifies the real problem - government waste. Way too much pork. Even if you taxed investment income at a far higher rate - which would hit the middle classes as well as the wealthy - it would only bring in 20 or 30 billion more tax revenue, which is nothinng considering our $1.3 trillion deficit.

Actually all the wealth created during the 300 years of slavery was destroyed in the civil war. And after that, untold trillions went to support a welfare state. And most recently, the pigford case cost a few billion - pure race hustling. The costs don't come close to equaling the benefits.

Or just spend it on training and salary - very little equipment - like they do now, and if they get attacked they can give us a call. Maybe you're right, maybe we wouldn't defend Finland, not worth the effort.

  4616. The Bush tax cuts aren't tax cuts for the rich, they're tax cuts for the middle class. If Obama got the Bush tax cuts back, over the next ten year period the feds would collect an extra $3.8 trillion in taxes. $0.8 trillion would come from the rich (making over $250k), and $3 trillion would come from those making less than $250k.

My main point is that Chile downsized its government and freed its markets and now is far more prosperous and far fewer poor people percentagewise.Some people fall through the cracks but the point is that the country as a whole is more prosperous. Thom said no nation ever cut their way to prosperity - Chile refutes that

But there's no way to know from what the COLB was derived - it could be from hospital records, or it could be a mom's claim. Yes, a mother attesting that she gave birth at a certain time in a certain place. In Hawaii this mom (or grandmom) only needs to show american citizenship plus a years residence in the US.

I certainly don't think it's right that public unions buy and coerce politicians to work for the minority (unions) against the majority (taxpayers). Small govt doesn't mean no laws or rules - it means fewer bureaucrats.

  4749. @Squiglypig You mentioned a bank robber and a gangster using guns - this has nothing to do with regulating guns. Criminals will have guns no matter what. Regulating guns only means something to law abiding citizens - people who respect laws. Those are the people gun regulations prevent from getting guns. It's the same problem as drugs - you can keep criminal laws against drugs in place, but that won't stop criminals from selling them. It's the same exercise in futility.

  4751. @Juanm678 Her theory wasn't only on the mark, it explains an entire wider body of relationships. Why do people have relationships outside of their race? Black women date white men because there aren't enough black men outside prison. White women with too much cushion date black men because white men don't like hefty women and black men do. Older women have fewer choices, so they'll go outside their race or gender choice. Same thing in prison - men on men, no choice.

And as for the US govt defaulting, more likely SS will continue to be paid, but inflation will be so bad that their SS checks won't have enough spending power for them to pay their bills and eat.

They're an anchor on the neck of our economy. Unions take credit for lots of things they aren't responsible for, most especially the rise of the middle class and wages. The reason for this rise was the increasing productivity of the workers because of tech and capitalist investment in this tech. Wages started stagnating in the 80s because of gov.

There are 6 times as many white women as black, therefore, as i stated earlier, black women are overrepresented by a factor of 5. Whites are 80% of the US population, blacks 12.8%

  4817. @ipwnorcs Time (dot) (com) had an article titled "A brief history of the US deficit". Excerpts: It may be hard for many Americans to believe,but the US checkbook hasn't always been in the red.Aside from periods of war or economic turmoil,the federal budget was actually in surplus for most of the nation's first 200 years.The government incurred considerable debt during the Civil War and Spanish-American War but paid it off by the early 1900s.

  4818. @MarmaladeINFP "If there was comprehensive gun regulation, there would be fewer unregistered guns" DC had a gun ban for some time. It only made things worse. And what state has comprehensive gun regulations? Gun violence in the US is drug gang violence. If Obama and the democrats were serious about reducing gun deaths, they'd be decriminalizing drugs. Instead, Obama is escalating the drug war, pouring even more money into it in 2011. Large clip bans are feel-good do-nothing useless posturing.

If i wanted to tax the whites, tanning salons would've been my first choice.

Michelle used an example from Cass Sunstein's book, Nudge, and the idea is to do exactly what Cenk says he doesn't like - government intrusion. Nudge outlines government control, first with a nudge (hence the title), then with a push, then with a shove. Beck explains all this on his show, but since you only get to see this little clip, you can't figure that out. Clearly Michelle has read Sunstein's book.

The only answer is less spending, and not by tiny degrees, a drastic drop.

That's done of course to keep the number as small as possible.Google "the true cost of education cato study" and you'll see the video and the cato link to Full text of Policy Analysis no. 662.

If there was something more substancial to these claims, lawyers would be all over it - after all, Koch Industries is deep pockets. So i don't think there's anything illegal going on here.

  4948. @barsense The percentage of Chileans with household incomes below the poverty line – defined as twice the cost of satisfying a person's minimal nutritional needs – fell from 45.1% in 1987 to 13.7% in 2006, according to government surveys. Chile maintains one of the best credit ratings (S&P A+) in Latin America. The government is required by law to run a fiscal surplus of at least 1% of GDP. In 2006, the Government of Chile ran a surplus of $11.3 billion, equal to almost 8% of GDP.

  4950. @SaviorOfLogic We've had protectionist tariffs (18-32%) throughout our history, until Reagan and Clinton came along with "free trade". The EU has protectionism in effect - Vat tax. For example, if an american company wants to sell their widget in Germany, instead of costing $100 they must charge $119 because of the VAT tax. German companies can sell for $100 because they get their VAT refunded on their widget sales within Germany. China has an undervalued yuan - a form of protectionism.

  4953. The chief problem isn't how much the government taxes, it's how much the government spends. The more the government spends, the more it must siphon out of the productive private sector, thereby leading to job losses. Cutting government spending would ultimately create more jobs. Cutting red tape for small businesses would end up creating more jobs. This aint rocket science.

While times were good, the overly generous salaries were ignored. They can't be ignored any more.

  4976. @exenrontexas Why were we so prosperous after WWII? Because we had all the industry in the world. We were 5% of the world population, and we were producing over 90% of the world's manufactured goods. People put money back into their business because business was booming. What's killing the middle class isn't taxes - it's free trade. We have no protectionism, and way too much regulation. We need to produce - without that, there's no prosperity. Tax rates are a side issue.

  4977. @OolTube02 Competition is always great for the consumer, and the solution to any of the issues you brought up is more competition. The problem that crops up over and over again is that big businesses make alliances with the government in order to stifle competition from the little businesses. Government regulations are largely in place to stifle competition, help out the politically well connected. Not to help you, the consumer. Cable tv is a perfect example of this.

Just in California alone, public sector unions spend $255 million a year on political activity. That could easily be used as a counterweight against corporate power. Instead it's wasted on establishment politicians that do the bidding of corps. And union members seem oblivious to this fact. They rail against the corps but do nothing.

You must hire a certain percentage of ugly people, lest you be sued or fined.

His mother or grandmother asserted in the COLB that Obama was born in hawaii, that's why the state of hawaii considered him a citizen, instantly. And although his mom was a citizen, she was only 18, so if barack was born outside the US he wouldn't have been a citizen.

You can quibble that some atheists say that it's an absence of belief, not a positive claim, but their other arguments give lie to that position. For instance the guy O'Reilly is interviewing positively asserts that religion is a scam - so he's positively asserting that God doesn't exist. Which puts him in the same boat as the religious - he can't prove his positive assertion.

  5018. The BP disaster happened BECAUSE of government. If BP knew they had no protection from the government, their buddies, their bedfellows, they would've been more cautious. If government wasn't on their side, they'd be responsibly for all the damage they caused for a rig explosion, which is about $15 billion in damage (at least). But the govt does them a favor, puts a $75 million cap on their liability, and they take more chances. So it was too much government which caused this disaster.

Was it derived from hospital records? Was it derived from forms filled out by Obama's grandma? Can't tell. Showing the long form answers those questions, provides corroborating evidence, might show the doc's name, hospital, etc. Why doesn't he show his long form birth certificate?

Democracy means since the majority of the people in Wisconsin agree with Governor Walker's proposal it should become law.

  5110. @demmmmm1 The DC voucher program was loved by the students who got the vouchers and their parents. Blogs and youtube videos attest to that fact. And consider that DC public schools spend $28k per student per year, and the voucher was only $7500. The average household income of the voucher students was $26k, so we're talking about a program that was benefiting low income families, and getting their children into safer schools with less violence and cleaner restrooms.

And i guess you don't care much about civil liberties - Obama signing the NDAA, massively expanding the drone program, and signing the Patriot Act extension. Whatever he does is fine by you methinks.

They don't have to spend much for medical research (big savings there) because of the US. And by the way the nordic countries have the same problem we do - demographics. Baby boomers getting ready to retire and of course those oldsters run up a mean health care bill. The US problem is too much govt in health care already - vast medicare paperwork costs.

  5186. @dffykvn I see - so if your party is funded by corporations, you're party is evil. Where does that leave the democrats? The Koch brothers have given hundreds of millions to charities. If the Koch brothers wanted to be part of the politically connected class, as you imply, they would give money to repubs and dems like all the other corporations. Instead they give to libertarian causes, which they've been involved with their whole lives.

They don't do it because of their humanity, they do it because it's good business. Right now there's no competition in the health care insurance industry. A few big corporations have it sewn up, and don't really compete against each other, so they don't give good service or cheap rates. How can they get away with that? Big government pushes out small biz. Change that. Solved.

  5192. @booley "Thousands bussed in by Obama's group 'Organizing for America' ".I said teachers are a net loss to the taxpayers after you said teachers were taxpayers. Teachers get paid by the taxpayers, and then give back a little in taxes. Net loss to the tax base. Soros is a billionaire that backs liberal causes - Koch brothers back conservative causes. Call it a wash. Unions are the ones that spend massive amounts on political activity. In California public sector unions spend $255 million per year

  5319. The gulf oil spill happened because of too much government. The damage of the spill is estimated to be $15 billion, but there's a $75 million cap. If the government didn't put that cap, and the oil companies believed that they'd be held responsible for all the costs related to a spill, they'd be more careful and take more precautions. With a $75 million cap, why worry so much about spills?

  5320. The lifeguard did the wrong thing. This is called the free rider problem - if you give a service to people who don't pay for that service, you encourage more people to be free riders. Why pay for lifeguards or firefighters if you don't have to? Everyone wants the service, but don't want to pay for it. By saving the drowning man, the lifeguard is only encouraging people to drown on a beach without lifeguards.

Obama represented ACORN in the Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Fed. Sav. Bank, 1994 suit against redlining.

Z's account of what happened, if it stands up to scrutiny, is a simple matter. It's a case of self defense. The only way he can be convicted is if the prosecution can disprove his story. I'm not aware of any evidence that could do that, and i don't believe the prosecution has a case.

Cenk is a bigot for believing that every gay must believe one way - the liberal democrat way. Like Harry Reid saying "i don't understand how a hispanic could vote for a republican".

  5361. Obama didn't call the Benghazi attack a terrorist action in the Rose Garden. He was referring to terrorist attacks in general.

And you have an opinion about gay rights i see. Again that's your opinion, nothing fundamental about it. Schools teach that the govt is a savior - give you an example. Monopoly busting - schools teach you that govt saved us from evil monopolies. Pure fiction. Evil monopolies are temporary by nature, unless aided by the government.

  5369. @rickbar123 The toxic mix of widespread tax evasion — which reduces revenues — and a bloated civil sector has led to the fiscal mess Greece currently finds itself in. Greece’s finance ministry estimates that there are 700,000 public employees in Greece, but some estimates put the number at over a million, nearly one in four workers. The reality is the government itself doesn’t know how many people it pays. It’s trying now to create a centralized payroll system.

Like Lou Dobbs said many many times - if the long form exists, why not release it? Just about a month ago Chris Matthews said the same thing.

  5379. @airbreather123 "This is voluntary exchange, nobody forces these people to get these loans." True. It reminds me of the days when ghetto advocates were demanding that cigarette billboards in the hood be taken down - they were blaming the ads for the high rate of smoking (no ads for illegal drugs though). The truth - in the ghetto, everyone smokes cigarettes, the only question is which brand. Why blame yourself when you can blame whitey or whiteys banks?

How much time does liberal media spend on the differences in fiscal policies,other than talking about taxing the rich? 99% of the time Cenk talks about the tea party, he smears. 1% of the time he'll say the line "legitimate concerns about the deficit" and then he'll smear. Pure ad hominem. The tea party focuses on spending, you focus on smear

  5445. @pandarsson I'm not anti-government, i'm anti-big government. For example, the $300 billion Farm Bill - billions in corporate welfare. I don't think we need much on the federal level - for instance if i were King, i'd shut down the Dept of Energy, Dept of Education, Dept of Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, etc. Anything those depts do can be done on the state or local level. And i'd quit wasting billions every year on the postal service - privatize that completely.

Black Liberation Army - Composed largely of former Black Panthers (BPP), the organization's program was one of "armed struggle" and its stated goal was to "take up arms for the liberation and self-determination of black people in the United States." The BLA carried out a series of bombings, robberies and prison breaks. Assata Shakur belonged to this organization - and she was guilty of killing a cop (even if she didn't fire a gun she was a cohort).Common's daughter's middle name is Assata.

However, this is problematic because Sheol has been translated "grave" as often as it has "hell" and some have mistakenly taught that Sheol and Hades are only references to the grave rather than Hell. This erroneous teaching leads to the denial of the existence of an immediate or present Hell.

We'd have to make 100% tax for every penny over $200k earned just to pay for that deficit. Pretending of course that people would continue to work just as hard if you had that 100% tax. All the private wealth in the US is $79 trillion. Unfunded liabilities are $114 trillion. The money isn't there.

  5589. @modemmack Well i haven't commented on the tax breaks expiring, but... Taxes don't help the economy. They suck people dry. Investing overseas? I doubt it. More like bought stock in corporations - which are global. Why not? Our govt has and continues to heavily skew the rules in favor of multinational corporations at the expense of small businesses. Obama is no different. He's killing small businesses with his legislation and helping out the big political contributors, which include corporations.

  5590. @erickofspirit ObamaCare has all sorts of things that decimate small business, for example the changes in 1099 form reporting. Every $600 or more transaction with a vendor requires reporting and the gathering of information. Millions more of these forms, a massive increase in compliance costs for small businesses. S510 the Patriot Act For Food will destroy small food growers. Like i said before, virtually every piece of legislation passed hurts small businesses, helps corps. Both dems and repubs

The national debt is due to an overly powerful govt. More power + More scope + Bigger budget = More corruption.

  5598. Who's to blame for the military industrial complex being fed so well, bankrupting our country? Both parties. But the democrat voters are more to blame than the republican voters.

And Obama has spent more on war and has been more hawkish than bush. Obama's next move? Bombing Iran.

The most famous voucher program was in DC, and the parents and students loved it, much safer than DC public schools. Obama's first act as president was to defund that voucher program (he's beholden to the teacher's union).

  5694. @Dipstikk The family? It was a series of assaults on two separate nights resulting in some serious injuries, including two injured police officers, perpetrated by a band of 30-40 black teenagers. And you're delusional about there being systematic racism against blacks - quite the opposite is true. Companies are hungry for qualified minorities, especially blacks, and when possible they'll hire them. Fortune 500 companies have a de facto quota. Same with college admissions - black preferences.

  5695. @brandnutopian i don't believe in corporate welfare, especially that $300 billion a year we spend on the farm bill. every industry has to balance risk and reward, lives vs bottom line, the trick is to prosecute, not fine, businesses which obviously cross the line (massey industries and the coal mines for example).

Loughners comments about 9-11 truthers, anti-war, and geneva conventions show that he was steeped in leftist rhetoric.

  5697. @Hammerfall794 The govt doesn't need to pay subsidies. Protectionism starts trade wars? Tell that to Europe. They've got de facto tariffs - a Vat tax. If i want to sell a product in Germany, i've got to pay a Vat tax. That increases the price i must charge. Manufacturers in Germany have to pay a Vat, but they get a refund later. The US is the only first world country that i know of that has practically no tariffs. China has a tariff in effect - their undervalued yuan.

That is, until a black man became president.....then the birthers broke all the rules, and tried to paint Obama as a foreigner and a closet muslim. If only Obama was white, then no one would try such dirty tricks, it wouldn't be civil. Racists!

You know in Brazil they've got bands of homeless children that attack tourists - a whole swarm of kids attack and steal anything the tourist has on him. There's not enough prison cells to imprison them, so the cops just beat the crap out of them on the spot. Keeps 'em honest.

  5723. "It's been established that Trayvon was doing nothing illegal". Established by who? And Trayvon did have weapons - his fists. In my opinion, Trayvon was up to no good - he wasn't walking on the street or sidewalk, he was walking between the buildings. And how long did that 1 1/2 walk from the 7-11 to his fathers girlfriends rented house take? Most normal humans would walk it in 16 minutes, but apparently it took Trayvon almost an hour. Sounds like he was casing the houses.

But no, the Koch brothers are lifelong libertarians, who've given $100 million to libertarian causes over the past 10 years. Republicans are in charge of the house now, not tea partiers. It would've been more effective just to hand the money to the repubs.

At least they've got money and get a decent rate of return, albeit with too many fees (that's what happens when the government has a hand in manipulating things). We're much more of a failure than Columbia - Social Security doesn't have a surplus, it just has a bunch of worthless government IOU's.

  5733. @WolverineDeus The closest approximation to unfettered capitalism was the US in the 19th century. That's also when we had the largest growth in our GDP. Nothing that's happened recently can be blamed on libertarians - they haven't been in charge of anything. Central banking is a form of price control - so much for a free market. The Fed drains from our economy and enables politicians to waste vast sums of money. Our govt is huge and wasteful - this is the chief thing libertarians rail against.

The fact that Trayvon probably had stolen before tells us that it's very possible that's what Trayvon was doing - looking for a house to break into. Trayvon was walking around for almost an hour though the 7-11 was only about a 16 minute walk from his father's girlfriends rented house. That seems suspicious to me.

But until you can provide a scientific study or some solid evidence that blacks are especially targeted in that way, you're just blowing smoke. Now apologize and admit defeat. Admit that you were schooled.

  5807. @oolong2 The founders understood that government should be as small as possible, and specifically enumerated the federal governments' scope. The federal govertment didn't really begin to grow until after the Civil War, when state's rights had been destroyed. When Lincoln came into office, the US population was 30 million and the number of federal civilian employees was 2500. Now we have ten times the population and 2.3 million federal civilian employees. Much too large, expensive, wasteful.

  5813. @OolTube02 The government gets in the way when it comes to health insurance and health care. Too many regulations, too many things that limit competition. If you're poor and sick in the US, medicaid is available. And the ER. There needs to be a major overhaul. Remember, libertarians were never in charge of anything here, so blaming us for anything makes no sense. But the principle doesn't change - less government interference, more free market competition = better for the consumer.

He said he'd take care of his patients, whether they had money or not (he never took medicaid). Does that sound like a racist?

We've never been this deep in debt, not even close. Debt can be good, if the money is spent well, but most of government spending is corruption, waste and special interest gifts. After WW2, people had lots of money saved up, nowadays we're drowning in debt. Us guys? I'm a libertarian.

You don't have two parties negotiating a wage - you have two parties working in concert at the expense of a third party (taxpayers) who have no part in the negotiations. You've got it wrong on the pay - when you include benefits and overtime, most cops firefighters and police have 6 figure incomes. The average salary for a Milwaukee Public School teacher is $56,500. When fringe benefits are factored in, the annual compensation will be $100,005 in 2011.

The biggest waste by far is military spending - but neither repubs or dems are serious about cutting military spending. And that is what makes the dems bigger fools - they vote for "doves" who still vote war.

But a few things about that - it's credit for creating jobs, it was a compromise (Walker wanted the 500k threshold), and for bigger businesses the credit is peanuts. I'm gonna post the article here that has the details, but characvterizing it as giving his business buddies a big favor is grossly wrong.

The true ally of the working man is small business, that's where all the private sector employment comes from. Big Labor supports the Big Government (two wing - repub and dem) and Big Guv is bought by Big Bizz. So the effect of all the Big Labor money is to support Big Bizz (multinationals) which destroy small businesses. So by supporting Big Labor you're destroying the middle class.

So 83,000+ black farmers will be paid, although the highest estimation of the # of black farmers is 39k. More claims than farmers. Pure hustle.

And when will you try to change the cultural norm for consent and adult? I saw a NAMBLA membership card sticking out of your shirt pocket - stop trying to grab the kiddies, liver lips.

But you can't say that drug users aren't connected and don't bear any responsibility for cartel deaths in Mexico.That would be like buying cheap Chinese toys and saying you're not to blame for all the chinese workers with lung problems because their toy factories have poor ventilation and the toxic soup of paint and chemicals get into their lungs. Just because it's not in front of your face doesn't mean it's not there.

  6031. @Trafalgar1961 How is the fact that Hawaii issues only short forms relevant? If Obama was born in a hospital there's a vault copy (long form). That would be the corroborating evidence birthers have been asking for for years. Lakin wanted proof that Obama was giving legitimate orders. He has the same doubts that millions of other american have. There's no good reason for Obama not to release those records - especially considering it would be so easy for him to do. Easier than what he's doing now.

She's the poster child for black militants.

It's about getting rid of useless bureaucrats that muck up our market. Ron Paul isn't anti-government, he's anti-bloated federal government. Let the cities and states protect their citizens from malfeasance and mahem. The feds should have 5 departments as outlined in The Constitution, the most important being national defense

IF the top 2% of wage earners (different than the rich btw) paid 85% of the taxes, what if they made 99.99999% of the income? Gotta supply more info for that to be a useful stat. INVISIBLE TAX = INFLATION. Government steals from one group, gives to another. Steals from the wage earners, gives to the rich and poor.

  6179. Why did Thom misspell Alvin Greene's name? This entire story revolves around the misspelling. South Carolina's democrats are mostly black - and if your last name is Greene, you're black.

That doesn't mean that the person taking those subsidies can't oppose subsidies - he knows better than anyone how people will take the money any chance they get, and that it's not fair to the rest of us.

  6286. @StunnedByStupidity The US in the post civil war 1800s had a close approximation to free market capitalism which lead to vast increases in GNP and wages for the workers. Workers had it better in the US than anywhere else on the planet - that's why millions upon millions kept coming to our shores. Big government sucks the vitality out of the economy - it's a burden on the taxpayer and business. And foreign investment has been drying up lately due to our overly regulated markets.

It would've been racist if Dr Laura was being mean-spirited and vitriolic, but she was merely annoyed. And she wasn't calling the caller the N word, she was stating the truth.

Which means less competition, which means higher prices and inferior service for the consumer, which is you. Libertarian = Lower prices.

  6335. @daveruda Taxes are at a historical low? There are all sorts of taxes, including some that are invisible (inflation for example).

In 2009 it was 43%, so obviously we aren't at a historic low.

Like i said they're the engine of the economy, they're the ones that create the jobs. You're referring to major corps and multinationals - they're cheating. But small and medium sized businesses bear the burden of taxes and compliance already. Less taxes for those businesses does translate into more jobs under most circumstances.

But even the threat of competition would keep them from becoming an evil monopoly - if they started raising prices substancially, competition would arise.

Ron Paul has no problem with social safety nets or government aid to the poor (even in this debate he mentioned that when a questioner mentioned LBJ and the skinny school children). He just believes such things aren't the purview of the federal govt - the states and local govts should take care of such things if they choose to. Libertarians believe in a small fedl govt as outline and enumerated in The Constitution.

  6390. Economic development tax credit : Signed into law Jan. 31, 2011, this bill increases the state’s economic development tax credit fund to $98.1 million, up from $73.1 million. The fund provides a tax credit for job creation, capital investment or related activity. The additional $25 million in credits is not expected to be claimed during the 2011-2013 biennium. So, if employers create new jobs and claim the credits, they would pay less in taxes to the state. No spending would be involved.

Yes you dream of freedom, except for those folks who decide to make a small business, they can't be free, they've got to be beaten by the government cudgel.

Central banking (the fed) combined with the central govt is a disaster and that is the reason we spend far too much on the military.

Why should children be railroaded in the public school monopoly where the children are indoctrinated into beliefs that the parents disagree with? Separation of church and state doesn't mean it's the state's job to force people to send their children to a secular school.

But the civil war ruined that, enabled the feds to make a huge power grab. After that, the power was centralized in DC. The feds power grew in size and scope and budget year after year. The civil rights acts killed the last vestiges of states rights. Too much power in too few hands.

  6433. The problem with this statement is that she doesn't say which original vital records she's seen.

She could very well be saying that she's seen the forms that Obama's mom filled out at the dep of health, and that's enough proof, as far as she's concerned.

  6434. @modemmack In 2009 compliance costs(the cost of govt regulations) for small businesses was $2 trillion dollars. That's going to take a large uptick thanks to ObamaCare and the millions of 1099 forms that must be filled out for every $600 transaction. If the cost of filling out those forms wasn't bad enough, the administration will use it to try to make billions more in tax revenue (discovering the "tax cheats"). All of this makes a large sucking noise and takes the vitality out of the economy.

The number of biomedical scientists saying that the cause of AIDS is still unknown has been growing fast since the initial HIV discovery announcement in April 1984.

In any case, it is helpful to remember that, in science, correlation is not causation.

This could very well lead towards communism or an autocratic regime. 3) Take a good look at Greece. One third of the population was employed by the state, with very good pay great pension early retirement - too heavy to sustain. Portugal Italy and Spain have the same problems, and probably have the same fate. Then the euro falls.

This operation was not the first of its type: Henry Dalton of St. Louis performed a nearly identical operation two years earlier, with the patient fully recovering. Decades before that, the Spaniard Francisco Romero carried out the first successful pericardial surgery of any type, incising the pericardium to drain fluid compressing the heart.

  6507. The proportion of whites in the city's population, according to Brookings Institution, grew faster between 2000 and 2006 than that of any other U.S. city. By 2010, Atlanta's white population had increased by 22,763 people. The white percentage increased from 31% in 2000, to 35% in 2006, to 38% in 2010, more than double the increase between 1990 and 2000. During the same time, the city's black poulation decreased by 28,795 people. <<< This explains the drop in the crime rate.

  6511. @fishyfish420 Multinational corporations dominate this country because of Big Government. Centralized power, public or private, is a threat. Decentralizing the power - a small federal government, with states taking up the slack, and local govt taking some of it too, will at least make it harder on multinational corporations. No more one-stop shopping in DC.

Rudy Giuliani cited Cloward and Piven by name as being responsible for "an effort at economic sabotage." He also credited Cloward-Piven with changing the cultural attitude toward welfare from that of a temporary expedient to a lifetime entitlement, an attitude which in-and-of-itself has caused perhaps the greatest damage of all.

From another source, thefreedictionary (dot) (com): the practice of professing standards, beliefs, etc., contrary to one's real character or actual behaviour, esp the pretence of virtue and piety. Andy Harris was asking about his benefits, a perk of his employment. This has nothing to do with ObamaCare. And he wanted to know if there was a way to fill in the 28 day gap. I see no hypocrisy here - he wants to get the best deal he can.

The leading emigrating countries to the United States were Mexico, India, and the Philippines.

  6550. @uchihaangelus In Wisconsin the benefits package got a lot better after collective bargaining. In California, the key year was 1999, when public sector worker pay started its steep ascent. Teachers make at least $50/hr when benefits are considered (any state). The teaching year is 180 days, minus sick days. 170 x 8hours = 1360 hours/year, so 1360x$50= $68k. The average salary + benefits for a Milwaukee teacher is $100k, so they make $67/hour. Not bad for someone teaching a fourth grader.

As for special needs, i'm sure dedicated private special needs schools can do the job. Capitalism is also about lowering costs. Vouchers do.

Since 1990 61 people have died after being pepper sprayed by police, but in all cases the coroners' report listed other causes of death, though the pepper spray might've been a contributing factor. Grizzly bear attacks? LOL. You can't outrun a grizzly, and if a grizzly is close enough to pepper spray, you're already dead.

  6616. @helltrackrider since you're against the law due to "lawful contact" then i'm sure you're for the bill now, since they've taken out "lawful contact" and replaced it with "stop, detain or arrest". Another passage which read that law enforcement officers were prevented from "solely" using race as grounds for suspecting someone is in the country has been changed to remove the word "solely. A spokesman for Arizona Governor Brewer insisted the changes made it clear racial profiling was illegal.

A 35 year old woman would get over it. Your example of alcohol - what if your neighbor had a child, same age as yours, and his theory was "well alcohol aint going away" - so he let his 4 year old drink beer. And watch s&m porn while he drank beer.

Yet when Obama said in his book his mom was acting "like a typical white person" because she was afraid of blacks on the street, he's not being racist? And beck gives many examples of flipping the script. And what about the Professor Gates incident, when he said the police acted stupidly - he said it before he knew all the facts.

The people there were smart enough not to rebuild their worthless public school systems with charters. But i guess all this is off topic...

At the same time, same place, dept of health building, she could've filled out the birth announcement forms, which the state would send to the two local newspapers.

That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.‘s children.” So Obama was born with a divided allegiance, which the founders rightfully considered a threat, which motivated them to include the term "natural born" in the eligibility clause. Obama had divided allegiance at birth, so he wasn't natural born.

Then Reagan and Clinton came along. NAFTA and other trade agreements gave us "free trade" with 3rd worlders who've got cheaper labor. We don't make things anymore (except for weapons). Unions are good for union workers but no one else. If unions were the answer, then unionize the entire labor force and we'd all be prosperous.
