everybody knows that there is something going on that is reducing their standard of living and making it more difficult to even think about getting ahead anymore, and it is likely to get worse due to the impossibility of the math.
seriously. impossibility of the math is the key here.
bank of america has something like 71 trillion dollars in derivatives contracts, and 2 trillion in assets, and throughout American history our government has only managed to accumulate $14 trillion dollars in government deficits. the US military spends less than 1 trillion/year.
and supposedly the argument is that the government is too big? I mean are we STUPID? Can we count? Banks are the ones creating all the debt here.
Unfortunately, occupy was co-opted from the beginning. Not that I think it was much of a solution to anything. Do you know the Schiff family background?
This is no way that Shiff was destroyed!! Schiff was right on.. why should the government create jobs??.. the government instead has destroyed the ability of companies to create jobs by over regulating by the EPA and other regulating practices that has destroyed the companies ability to make money in the USA.
Several things not being covered here. Both of these individuals deal with this subject on a topical level. Private vs Public. Go look at CAFRs and other reports. Govt already owns massive shares in these corps. Most, if not all publicly traded corps are majority shares in govt investments.
Nationalizing really wouldn't help transparency much or personal accountability. Either way they are taking people's value, controlling, monetizing it, leveraging it and pocketing the returns. Slightly different flavor of debt slavery. Doesn't amt to much of a change imo.
Its not even a contest.Actaully one only has to look at wealth shift since wealth sharing started in the mid 60's; its been a race to the bottom of dependency for many. Getting out of that hole is very difficult once your at the bottom especially in a world economy which is more competitive than ever.
The guy is defending capitalism, great, I don't think many of the protesters have a problem with pure capitalism, as opposed to the government-sponsored Sino-capitalism we have in the USA.
And don't go to the sheeple for an intelligent debate, that's like trying to understand conservativism by reading the garbage on this forum.
This guy shuts them all down and agrees with a lot of the reasons, explaining how it got there.
You see the blank look when they lost the debate...
Not even their buddies are helping.
The guys is giving an education to the brainwashed koolaid drinkers.
Them? They? Who exactly is them and they? Perhaps people who aren't quite as savvy in front of the cameras as he is? Get back to me when he takes on somebody like Rachel Maddow
Speaking of greed, when you're making tens of millions of dollars but then when your company starts to go into the toilet and the first people you expect to take pay cuts are the ones living pay check to pay check that's greedy. And when you give yourself millions of dollars in bonuses and pay raises while they're taking a pay cut AND you take their pension that's really ****ing greedy
Keep in mind that this guy has been embarrassing himself on national television for years with his constant negative nonsense towards the United States that never happens.
