Thread: How others feel about this governments plan.

That video seems really long, I got to Joe Rogan and decided to stop. So far I had seen KRS-ONE (rapper) talk about how the government is like Burger King and Joe Rogan (comedian and MMA announcer) talk about how its obvious that there is some global money conspiracy something or other. I dont see a lot of global finance and politics credibility there dude, sorry.

Looks like a few more people don't agree with the government's actions and are exercising their rights.

So please tell me again how all those people are either drones or paid by some evil corporation to be there ?

I got 5 min into it and I disagree.
KRS One was using a simple analogy and Rogan simply pointed out the obvious disparity in campaign finance laws.

The fact is we did hand somebody a whole lot of money.
We know some of that money(billions) went overseas when we the people were lead to believe this money was to help an American company.http://www.businessweek.com/the_thread/economicsunbound/archives/2009/03/german_and_fren.html
The heads of various banking institutions are now in the federal government.
The appearance of impropriety is glaringly obvious.
Since I'm still too hung over to play I am going to try and watch all 2 hours of it.
30 minutes in and it's not helping the hangover at all.
Well its about equal to a Moore movie so far, lunatic fringe with all the answers.

If you want to be a peasant then you can be lazy and become oppressed, if you want improvement in your life you must remain informed of the goings on of those above you.



my quote or the day

Democrats want to be your mommy, Republicans want to be your daddy and Libertarians want you to become your own person.

Democrats want to regulate the things most important to Americans... money and health care. Republicans want no regulation, which is why we are in this mess. No regulation, no accountability... nothing... at least for the past 8 years. This, of course, is a generalization, but who do you trust? The government, or the banker? The banker already fucked us royally... now the government wants to help, and the Republicans can't stop bitching about it because we are going to have to pay for it in the long run. No shit! When the country is fucked, you just can't expect for it to fix itself without the tax payers paying taxes. Republicans don't want to take ANY responsibility. So daddy must be a selfish prick.

Hmm... think of that. Tax payers actually paying taxes to make things better instead of getting rebates while at the same time we are spending 11 billion/month on a war.

Libertarianism just won't work in this country.

The bankers are running the government, from Paulson to Geithner.
You claim it is a generalization but what it really should be called is bullshit.
The Republicans lost but they were not crushed and the resistance on the Democratic side cannot be blamed on "evil corporate interests" .....or can it ?
Where did all the Wall Street money go to in the last election ...?

You have to move past the worn out talking point that only the Democrats care about the people.
It is clearly bullshit as the bills passed recently, to say nothing of Obamacare and Cap-n-Tax will create far more hardship for the poor than it will the rich.

Yeah... wait what was the name of that country somewhere around here that was founded on Libertarian principles and quickly became the most powerful, most successful, most wealthy superpower in the world? Ah well. Too bad it wouldn't work for us Americans.
