Looks like Ed Schultz got pregnant, burst, and this is what came out. So, Big Mike has taught me government is real the culprit. Without government and their lobbyist cohorts, tax loop holes for the ultra rich would not exist. Not a word about the Federal Reserve, Big Mike? MrThoughtCrime does not respect you.
You guys need to stop putting all the blame on the federal reserve. Its getting old. We get it, the federal reserve is bad. But it's not the main problem. The main problem is corporations and the rich exploiting the middle class.
Don't you libertarians get it, you need to stop talking about economics, and just realize thats it's the corporations sitting in their corporation chairs, while they exploit the working class, while they act all corporationy and make money.
Exploiting, hell...they're wiping us out completely. If we don't start corking all those loopholes that allow disgustingly excessive tax breaks for those with the greatest accumulation of wealth, they will wipe us out completely.
Oh, believe me. I know. It's all the other people on the political forum that don't get it. It's getting rather scary the way were going.
That's what the Federal Reserve is/does. So really the Federal Reserve is one of these main problems that you're putting blame on.
Sure, but the blame should not fully be directed all to the Federal Reserve. You need to see the whole picture. Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Rupert Murdoch, the Koch Brothers, as well as the conservative supreme court ruling on Citizens United. ...haliburton, military industrial complex, companies outsourcing like GM or Mattel
Yes, you silly geese, stop focusing on the root cause of the problem! By focusing on the Fed, one side cannot promote their propaganda as they are the ones who blessed us with such a wonderful organization which allowed for the concentration of wealth in the first place - wiping out the middle class, savers, holders of dollars, those on fixed incomes, and the poor! I must admit I do sometimes enjoy reading HankMoody's posts. It's a fun ride based not on facts, but on what others tell him to believe. I didn't hear George Soros mentioned in his Corporatocracy rant. How odd... George must be on the "good" side of the exploitation coin.
It seems you're not looking at the full picture, who enables/funds all(or at least most) of these groups? Dun-dun-dun Federal Reserve. If these corporations and businesses were an evil tree, then the Fed is one of its roots. I'm not saying its the only problem, but it is a main one that is consistently ignored. Maybe not on this web site, but on your video and the public abroad. (Also, just love that you didn't mention George Soros, but do mention Rupert Murdoch. How socialist of you to do so)
Besides forgetting about the Fed, Big Mike also forgot to mention why these "evil" corporations outsourced jobs. Many corporations outsourced because they wanted to avoid our governments regulations. If the big man is for a flat tax then I agree with him; but I think I heard him say he wanted a progressive tax system. How does a progressive tax ensure people are paying there "fair share" when it really punishes people for earning more money?
It's all taxes guys, just forget the interventionism, bailouts, and regulations because besides all that mumbo-jumbo it's their taxes that are truly hurting the economy and the American people.
How can you call out the main culprits, and then ignore the main tool they are using against us? If the federal reserve did not exist, how could the corporations have done any of the things they did? You want to plug all the loop holes. Thats cool i guess, until they just create more. We would rather get rid of the tool that gives them language, i guess that makes US the crazy ones.
Please look back to the workforce history pre-1913. Corporations were doing the same things as today, even before the federal reserve.
This is true, the Federal Reserve is not our nation's first central bank. "Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time, and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out." -Andrew Jackson, 1832
