1. Honestly EvelJustin I think what you're looking at is an audition tape
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 04:02 PM by NCcoast
Think about it. Glenn Beck earns 33 million a year to make sh*t up. This little dirt bag wants that job. He's putting together audition tapes that say 'Look at me Rupert & Roger, I'm willing to tell bare faced lies for the money.' There's no mistaking that Micheal Moore said to confiscate the money of billionaires not even close. That's not a misinterpretation. This kid knows better. He's just letting them know that he's got no integrity to get in his way and he'll say anything to get the job done.

Keep up the fight man. I want to see you in Congress someday.

3. Third World America
We watch our citizens die so the big corporations can pay zero taxes. You're right to be angry. Thanks for the links and keep getting the word out--not just here but on the MSM sites too.

4. There is no one in this country who should be left to suffer. God bless this boy and his family.
The twisted truth that is being sold to the public has harmed us beyond reason. FOX News and the Republican right wing should be held accountable.

8. The entire GDP of the US
is about $15 Trillion. The wealthiest 400 Americans are worth $1.5 Trillion (about 10% of the annual GDP of the entire country). After the European Union, only 7 other nations have larger GDPs than these individuals do collectively. Of the World's 100 wealthiest individuals only 30 or so are Americans. The global GDP is about $62 Trillion. The net worth of the world's 1200 billionaires is $4.5 Trillion or about 7% of global GDP, up 25% from last year. 40 million Americans have not health coverage. 9 million are unemployed. The median income in the US is less than $50,000. Global median income is $7000. About a third of the world's people live in absolute poverty (about $2 per day).

10. Discussing the GDP is a good start. But much of a rich person's wealth
Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 09:12 PM by truedelphi
or a wealthy corporation's wealth, does not affect the GDP.

For instance, if you buy up an entire Nature Preserve, as Goldman Sachs did recently, and that plush piece of real estate is not even in the USA, but down in Patagonia, that piece of property is very valuable, even though it's contribution to the GDP on an annual basis is nil (Except for the year it is purchased, when the lawyers, and the real estate people get a commission.)

Likewise the property that the rich owns doesn't get reflected in the GDP. They may not even have any money in the bank - it can all be in the form of valuable real estate holdings, mineral holdings, cattle, antiques, jewelry.

13. I understand, but
you have to be able to compare and contrast the value of things, even if sometimes they're apples and oranges.

36. After living in Marin Calif. for twenty years,
Edited on Mon Mar-21-11 05:19 PM by truedelphi
And not once meeting a rich person who claimed to be rich, despite the second and third homes, the trips to Cannes for the film awards, the limo service, the servants, (who were often little more than slaves and were paid probably worse than slaves would be, etc) I do feel the need to do the apples to oranges things.

A lot of the very wealthy in Marin own an entire Fortune Five Hundred Company (and in some cases, have shares in others.) Yet they go running to the local Social Services people, attempting to get 24/7 care for the elderly relative for a $ 100 a day. (it is not even legal to pay that amount, state law claims a worker needs at least $ 106 bucks a day.)

I actually had to wait an entire six months for my last four hundred dollar paycheck from one family. the estate went through probate, and none of the millionaires related to the deceased could advance me the money, as "every cent we own is tied up in real estate." (This circa 2001.)

So when I hear the ultra rich saying in our "liberal" media that they certainly cannot afford the four percent more if the Bush tax cuts were ever rescinded, I always think to myself, sell one of your second or third or fourth damn summer homes then.

14. wow. just wow. i am sorry your grandma has to go through that.
and you are right.... tax cuts for the rich but the rest of us need to stop being greedy. one thing to consider is this..... corporations and rich folks when they have taxes have ways of avoiding them. they donate to charities and hire more workers and invest in their businesses as a way to pay less taxes. so they have an incentive to invest in this country. also, they benefit from the things that taxes pay for. roads, bridges.... if they have a business, then their employees drive on public roads to get to their jobs. they require the use of public roads to get things to and from their facilities. they benefit from the system yet somehow they should not have to pay into the system is ludicrous.

15. I Can See The Response To The Response Now
That right-wing jerkoff doesn't even need to bother making a response video, because I've already got the script of how it will go. Here are ALL the salient points he'll make refuting Evel Justin:

1. You have a funny accent and you sound stupid.
2. You look like you live in a trailer, therefore you're stupid.
3. You're a NASCAR fan, therefore you're stupid.
4. You can't refute my points, so you resort to profanity.
5. Your grandmother is fat and should have taken better care of herself, and is therefore lazy and deserving of her fate.
6. Your grandmother sounds like she's being coached what to say.
7. You obviously have enough money for X, Y, and Z (name a few things this jackass will spot in the background), so you must have screwed-up priorities. Why, just look at that nice, hospital-style bed.
8. Maybe if you got a job instead of making internet videos, you could pay to take care of your grandmother.
9. You're a socialist, communist, no-good, (insert right-wing buzzword name-calling here).

I can't wait to see this jackass' response video to see how many points I scored. I guarantee I've hit on at least HALF of them.

28. If You Can't Think Like The Enemy, You're Doomed To Defeat
Haven't you had enough interactions with right-wing bullies and blowhards to know how they respond to having their points shot down? Because I certainly have. You'll never make a dime as a debater unless you have the counters to the opponent's arguments ready before they make them.

22. HOWTHEWORLDWORKS is a SPOILED TRUST FUND KID...
Well, he is not a "kid" now...I can't confirm this but I have known of this guy since he was begging for subscribers when he first got to You Tube. And many people have talked about he comes from a very wealthy family. If so, this would clearly explain his videos which are all straight Republican talking points.

Just thught I would share this "rumor".

26. Only absolute truth can compel someone to this kind of unshakable conviction.
Notice the difference in demeanor of the two speakers: the conservative is smirking, cocky, shifty, clearly dishonest, but the human being has the power of the unflinching truth with him.

I was privileged to hear/see your video.

There is something fundamentally wrong with a society that makes people desperate enough for health care that they have to turn to crime to pay for it.

Edited on Mon Mar-21-11 01:17 PM by florida08
They're not trying to the balance though. That's a scam. They want to remove what little power we as a people have to vote for our own interest. To marginalize democracy to the point that it's dead. It's why they're going after every protection we have. To in fact defund us. They've been moving earnings up the ladder for decades while moving the debt down. Have heard several fascist remarks like child labor laws are unconstitutional and voting should be based on your wealth or land ownership. It's a financial coup d'état.

They have removed manufacturing jobs for a reason. They have laden us with debt of our own and theirs. They will defund SS and Medicare and Medicaid. They also will make pensions harder to get. Doesn't matter if you paid it in or not.

They want us to be like China. Communisim for Main St. Socialism for Wall St. And that idiot you pointed out is so effing stupid he can't buy a clue to see what's in front of him. Thanks for letting him know it.

Am sending out this video to everyone on my list. Thanks for your passion.

31. Great job!
I absolutely feel the anger you express.

I tell anyone who will listen about these very same things.

We have a disgusting corrupt government that is OWNED by the wealthy and corporations--not its people.

America has become a sad country with fading hope and opportunity--unless you're born into it.

Keep posting these great vids.

These morons on the right who can't even pretend to do any real thinking are cutting their own throats and taking us with them.

Idiots.

34. OMG! Great rant and your Gran, brave woman - brought tears to my eyes
Edited on Mon Mar-21-11 03:06 PM by axollot
Your talking about the same thing I've been talking about for years (guess most of us here have).

That douche you're responding to looks like a clueless silver spoon baby. I've lived in extreme wealth AND extreme poverty and now sit in the middle class (disabled from a car accident when a drunk driver rear ended me at 29yrs of age).

I wish I could take the family back to Australia to live because it beats their future here in the US (in Florida at that) even tho my kids are straight A students (2 still in school aged 17 and 7) both bordering on genius yet the most important lessons are sometimes here at home.
They know right from wrong, they know what's happening to your grandmother (and the thousands like her) is wrong and providing health care for all is right (also Australia of course has a very good universal health - my best friend is a nurse there, she would freak out seeing your Gran in that situation! Heck even the right wing in Australia are against cuts to health care even tho many of them pay for their own private insurance they would never want basic universal care taken away and are happy to pay their fair share!)

So a big k & r for a great video. Will sign on to youtube and subscribe too. I am going to share this on my fb page as well. facebook.com/axollot

Cheers mate
Sandy
