the Government needs to stop giving the money to people who think its OPTIONAL to distribute money to whomever they wish! Its time to cut out the middleman and give the people aid DIRECTLY.
The primary fact that needs to be communicated is this: When the government gives money *to the people* they don't buy back their stocks. No, they inject it directly back into the economy by buying food, medicine, paying rent/mortgage and utilities, etc. The cycle of the economy starts at the bottom, with all the people going out and spending money to buy goods and services. And *that* is a far better corporate bailout than any amount of money given to corporations.
The problem with that (from the ruling class perspective) is that if you give all the money to consumers then THEY get to decide which companies stay afloat, rather than all the largest companies securing their own futures.
@@aammirati91 It's pure capitalism! Be the company that provides the most needed products and you stay in business. Fail to do that and you go out of business. And it's not like there is going to be any organized picking and choosing at the consumer level, it's going to be pure market forces.
@@Amberscion The ruling class hates capitalism. They don't want to work hard; they want handouts when they fail so they don't have to actually compete and innovate. Socialism for the rich, rugged individualism for the poor.
Ana Kasparian, Thank You. I agree. I am demanding that EVERY Congress Person forfeit their normal govt salary and receive ONLY the same $1,200 that the constituency is being given. Lead by example. Solidarity. "We are all in this together"? WHY are THEY insulated from this crisis?
well, not exactly. The FED just printed money to pay for it. So, technically; it's nobody's money and everybody's money at the same time. It's Schrodinger's money.
I love him!!! I've been saying this for weeks.... We pay taxes so that when shit goes down, the gov has our back, but instead we have this nonsense one time payments.... My husband was in between jobs when this shit hit, we are at high risk because of asthma, what about us? IMO, if you are a taxpayer or better yet a citizen, we get $$ until this dies down and we feel safe to go to work..... I really don't want to have to pull out what's left of our retirement funds..... Which we already did once when Trump was downplaying this virus...... We all need to be taken care of!!
Don’t forget the Democratic establishment and Republicans sqwabble over money we pay into the system. $1200? Rent , where I live doesn’t cover my rent for a 1 bedroom, please!
Journalists should confront politicians every chance they get. They should ask them who is supposed to buy the products and services of the companies that got the bailout money! Bailouts should work via payments to the consumers, because while companies use bailout money for stock buybacks, management bonuses and paying dividends to shareholders, consumers would ACTUALLY SPEND the bailout money and thereby ACTUALLY STIMULATE THE ECONOMY!
Wish you would have touched up.on some of the solutions he mentioned during his rant, because that's exactly the solution our government should look into doing NOW.
We get $2000 each every month. Our healthcare is free. So we don’t have to worry about bankruptcy. Will we have a long economic recovery? Yes but Canada will survive. Not sure about the USA...
Canada is right on the money Australia is offering 3000 a month for job seekers .one th ing they could help a bit more is help the nurses and family that work hard so other can go back to work and keep the country running
Pascal Fortin the health care workers are getting perks everywhere they go free meals coffees skipping lines. We will keep doing it as well. Everyone is on board.
I'm a immigrant that moved to the U.S. over a decade ago. I want out of U.S. and somewhere that benefits it's citizens! However, I'm getting my degree here. I wonder if my career can continue outside the country.
@Russell Racey eh, it's not like the U.S. does not have the same issues that Canada has. We are trillions of $'s in debt to China alone. Housing costs are rising too no?
I agree with him.. in Canada they took care of us. I'm still working but lots of people are staying at home with $2000 per month. Yes thats right u heard me. We are so blessed in our socialist/capitalism mixed economy .
@Aaron Burr it was a honest innocent mistake the blackface. We know him he is kind , considerate and has a lot of compassion. We are not racist here. Anyway regarding your $1400 US. Well if u were in Canada you would have $2000 u would think in CAD $$ Duh. Allo !!please give me a break. Canada is an amazing socio economic powerhouse with full of natural resources. We are happy and we are good loving humans. Ok so.enough with us. We care about our best friend America. We cannot wait til you get rid of Trumpurge. Merci
@Aaron Burr I promise you we are not racist. Yes there must be some that are but we are thought by our excellent public education system the values of our differences. We are all humans. We truly believe in peace and love here. Maybe its because we have cold weather and we like to cuddle lol . We are strong economically. Our bank system is centralized and constantly controlled and audited as everything else. We r not perfect lol but we sit on a lot of natural resources. Go educated yourself about us. We are one of the best country in the world.
@Aaron Burr but we are I think 52% of our population is 2nd generation immigrants. One of the biggest city in North America Toronto is very much cosmopolitan. We are very culturally opened. We control our borders of course and choose who we want in because they have to accept our winters lol, our taxes which are high , and learn French.
Don’t forget the millionaires that got almost 2 million dollars each. While we spend thousands and thousands in taxes.... and get $1,200 bucks....Sickening.
I have (had) a small tourism business (sole trader) in Australia. Because my business has closed due to the virus I got a $750 stimulus cheque in March with another coming in June and I am also guaranteed $500 per week ($250 for unemployment and $250pw because my business closed) for the next 6 months. I have been paying tax for 30 years (and happy to do so) and now I,m getting some back. Will keep myself and my son safe until we can come out the other side. DONT EXPECT TO GET ANY AMERICAN TOURISTS ANYTIME SOON THOUGH. TRUMPS A FUCKWIT
@Scott Page USMC You lost all right to whine when your government along with the your British toadies decided to aid the overthrow of Australia's Whitlam government in the coup of 1975.
Vic, like TYT, is among the many RUclips videos I look forward to watching. He tells it like it is. Thanks for sharing this one. Oh, and check out his bread and milk video, too. A good laugh.
I think you are missing the point of an UBI in that case : it's reactivity that matter during a pandemic. 26 millions people lost their job. That clogged the administration : like people having to call unemployement 600 time a day. how do you deal with that ?
If they never ever give $$$ to those who lost their jobs in got laid off by the crisis then we as Americans citizens should start not paying taxes at all until they understand how we feel .that isn’t fair for us Americans by not getting help by our own government in our own president.
Remember this President has in the past refused to pay the contractors that worked for him. The ordinary worker means less then zero ,unless he wants as something from you.
Yes. Let's stop handing Billions every year to the American military.... period. It's just "free stuff" that's paid for with "thoughts and prayers" anyways (at least that's what the "right" keep thinking)
Do you think they gave out $1,200.00 once knowing it wouldn't be enough and force the people to have to back to work?? We in Canada are getting $2,000.00 for 4 months and more if needed. Go figure. DISGUSTING!!!
Canada's $2000 is for unemployed. And if you factor in PPP conversion rates, its $1662 USD. For comparision, the US's unemployment benefit (from the Federal Government) is $2400 a month.
@Aaron Burr The Trump admin has just spend *trillions* bailing out Wall Street and corporations. But...I guess that doesn't mean they're "printing money" leading to inflation.
Are you high? Yes we need that fire, we need all of it and so much more - for the love of god the absence of that fire is why we are where we are right now!
@a-z You lie and you like to mislead people. You f___ing idiot, the population of Phoenix is 1.66 million. The bigger the country the more taxes that are paid. So it doesn't matter how big the country cause they all collect taxes
@@ericnolan1300 Yup. I'm a proud beta male. Sitting at home and relaxing, on my sunny terrace, drinking coffee, not having to worry about tomorrow. Kinda nice living in a caring society, where we look out for another :-)
I've been a self-motivated and self-interested student of the American Civil War for over 30 years. I have studied every aspect of the war and time period over the course of hundreds of books, articles, field trips and attending various lectures. My friends, this CAN happen again. Yes, these circumstances today are in many ways different from what happened in 1861-1865. But the dynamics of sectional tensions, economic and class inequality, party driven loyalty, and most dangerous of all: states rights to self govern vs. the power of a centralized federal government - all of those elements are present here in America in 2020. They called WWI "The war to end all wars." Cool motto right? Yeah, well that lasted about 20 years until we had another world war. So much for it can never happen again. Complex societies can break down even faster the more complex they are. This is not a good time. This is the closest we've come to a second Civil War since 1865. And it scares the crap out of me.
Well... It IS weak, so I agree with him on that... And as justifiably angry as he and the rest of us are, don't really think that's going to get through to this administration.
Edward Jones II No he’s not angry he just makes these videos all the time he’s just using this to make money for his own channel he’s a really rich guy living in an $800,000 house in Manalapan New Jersey I bet he didn’t even really get a check once again just making this video to make money off of the issue but he’s really not a nice guy if you know him in person
There is a comedian in the uk who goes by the alias of Jonathan Pie. Pretty much every video he has ever done as a COMEDIAN sheds more light and truth on how incompetant the GOVT is and how the average person just has a giant steaming shit taken upon them at intervals that feel like every other day. Not just with COVID, but everything. And we don't have it half as bad as you guys do (yet)!
He reminds me of my 1st sergeant, when I was a Marine company commander! He is right on point, if only more Americans would stop bending over for $1,200.00 or so. The UK got it right, they are paying all workers 80 percent of their salaries. Remember to vote for a Republican or Democrat, and bend over while you are doing it.
@@roseking8555 They will not pass that! Anytime it comes time to give main st a bailout, Dems and Repubs, never can find the money or have all of the excuses in the world not to bail us out.
I hear him! It’s My money, man. What the f? I’ve been working since I was 14 and paying taxes all these years. I’m 33. But people like me get overlooked all the time. I’m also diabetic and because of what’s going on in this administration my Insulin has skyrocketed in price so yeah, where the f is my money? I have been working during this scary time cause I have to support myself and my family! So I cannot quarantine even though if I get sick, I’m probably dead because of my pre-existing condition.
Luist Triolet. Once the Canada/USA border opens back up you should make a road trip up here to purchase some insulin. It’s a lot more affordable here. Most type 1 diabetics in Canada pay roughly $150.00 usd/month... and that’s without insurance.
I was tempted to preface this by saying my country has a much smaller population, but eff that, the US has more money than people, so no excuses. We are getting $2k a month for four months, no questions asked, with the caveat that any unneeded money will be taken out of next year's taxes. So... Your government is totally screwing you all over.
@Chris L 331m is not almost 400m. Subtract children, that's just over 230m adults. But that's irrelevant anyway, because the number of unemployed is 22m. The US annual budget is over $4 trillion. Over half a trillion goes to the military alone. Don't tell me the US can't afford more than $1200/person. 22m x 1200 = 26b. The US govt gave a tax grab to the rich worth over $1.5 trillion. Your over estimate on the total pop is meaningless.
@a-z Wise decision deleting that reply. You think an American can talk about oil exploitation? And I am Native. So you telling me anything about how my people have been treated won't work. America has treated my people even worse. I've got tons of gripes with the government in Canada, but it's nothing that I can't say about America too.
In 2008 republican president - My retirement was wacked for 45 THOUSAND DOLLARS - I never saw it again - All the banks and giant corporations were bailed out. I was robbed. I broke my back for that money. The banks crashed the economy and they were rewarded for it. 45 GRAND!!!
Ana shout out I love you girl, so passionate about life. Unfortunately this topic I know all to much about. I became disabled a decade ago after a strong productive career. My employer found ways to wrongfully deny my bargained for corporate disability benefits. They At&t are self insured, so of course they deny everyone with corporate greed and Randal Steven's stuffs his pockets and uses the stolen money to pay lobbyists. I waited 2.5 years for my Social Security Disability to be approved for which I have gone through a review and been re approved. The worst part of all is not that my employer not only has lobbied the government into paying my bills they should be legally responsible for. Or that the government then protects and bails out these giant corporate welfare entities on the regular either. The worst part is actually the social stigma. Not the disease, the pain, loosing everything multiple times, being screwed over by my employer and government. Unemployment is insurance we pay premiums for. Disability insurance we pay premiums for. Somehow the shame is shifted onto the victim, and it belongs to the greedy politicians who spun this web of a corporate welfare state.
@@BaltoSojnekah, doesn't matter that it's not flesh and blood, courts recognize corporations as people with rights. It's dumb. A building, registered as a corporation has more rights than you.
Thank you for bringing out this fact. I live in Missouri. We do pay into the unemployment a percentage by what we make. But, so many who are brain washed bring up the fact the employer pays in, but what these individual’s don’t know is the fact, if we do not use our unemployment benefit in 5 years the company gets their portion of what they paid Back. I found this out while I was a shop steward in a factory building vending Machines during the late 70’s to 82. I don’t know if that is still true. But it was back then. Maybe if our money wasn’t wasted giving free rides to the socialistic jerks Kocks, & DeVoss, ect. We’d have the money to take care of our poor, tired & hungry & our Veterans.
Yes, thank you. I have conservative relatives who also think that the advantages of birth right have nothing to do with why some people just have it better than others. This notion that if you are willing to work for it, you can achieve anything is such utter bullshit! Yes, hard work is important, but if you are not born in a good neighbourhood, if you are a minority, if you are a woman who "got knocked up" because you didn't have access to birth control or couldn't "close your legs" - as one asshole politician said years ago, or if you are disadvantaged by numerous other factors, there is no way to work hard enough to attain what the millionaires and billionaires of the country have. This notion that everyone has an equal chance to make it big, is such a lie - particularly a conservative lie, because it behooves them to perpetuate it, and pretend that someone with a huge school debt, who works for minimum wage just needs to work harder or make smarter choices, or that people struck by hard times or unfair conditions just needs to suck it up and work for what the privileged few have. God, get money out of politics. Get this notion that anyone who asks for help to get out of a rut, or wishes to have an education that won't cripple them with debt for the next few decades, or gets sick and doesn't have health insurance to stop them from being buried in debt, is just a freeloader who it taking advantage of the system. Help these people to recover and they will, in turn, help the economy. Let them suffer now, and you will never recover as a nation. I'm Canadian and already, our Liberal government has provided stimulus cheques to its citizens, EI, or other measures to help us work through this crisis. I get $2000 a month for the foreseeable future because I meet the simple criteria of needing to stay home with my elementary school aged child, and I cannot work while I have to educate her at home, babysit and deal with all the other issues facing us during this crisis. I watch what happens in the US and I feel such despair for your people. We, the middle class, have to stand up for what is right and I hope your next election ousts that useless sack of shit you have as a President. I cannot imagine Obama ever letting Americans suffer as you have all suffered, nor would he get on the news to promote his own efforts before giving condolences to families of those who die every day in your country. You have a rich history of being and doing good, and I hate to see the turn your country has taken - not only in the world, but with your vitriolic disparity of opinions and commonality among your political parties. You have forgotten who your are and what you stand for, and all your politicians do is give lip service to better men and women who came before, whist disappointing on a daily basis, the people they were elected or appointed to serve. Shame.
*Meanwhile, The Stable Genius’ senility has become alarming.* A reporter reminded him that he held rallies in February and March. “Oh, I don’t know about rallies. I really don’t know about rallies. I know one thing. I haven’t left the White House in months,” he said. The doddering old fool held rallies on: > *January 3, 9, 14, 28, 30, February 10, 19, 20, 21, 28, and March 2, 2020.*
The working class pays all of the taxes. The owner class pay none of the taxes, and even those who do pay, they pay it with the surplus value of labor that the workers produced. Hence, the owner class never pay taxes. However, the owner class gets almost the entire bail out (which comes from the workers’ labor) while the workers get spit on the face. I think we should abolish taxation, and make the owner class pay with hours of labor. At the very least, Jeff Bezos should deliver goods with his own hands, 8 hours a day, 6 days per week, for a least 30 days. We should make the entire owner class do something similar. This is still unfair though. The working class work more hours a day, and 12 months a year. OK, I changed my mind, we should make owner class work at least 40 hours per weak, and 12 months per year. We should never accept “their” money, only labor, and the amount of labor should be reciprocal to all we work we do. This is the only way to have a just society. Yes, we deserve unemployment insurance. We worked for it, and the owner class stole it in the form of profits. Yes, we deserve universal basic income. We worked for it, but the parasites (the owner class) stole it. You have to decide whether you want you and/or your family to die of coronavirus, while the parasites get to live in mansions and send you back to the mines, or whether you want a just society, a democratic society, one in which you can tell your boss, “you first, motherfucker.” Freedom is impossible unless we abolish private dictatorships. If you disagree, then: It’s the economy. Go die for it, stupid!
Think about this, the military pay taxes and then get paid using those taxes. Many military members are getting paid less than minimum wage, especially when you take into account working 16 hour days, or more, for months on end while deployed.
How can Americans agree with this, but hate socialism?

My wife, after viewing this, ran in to show me because I had just said the exact same thing!
Thank you!!😃
Check out the full video. Hilarious. Nice solutions as well.
Seen this so many times. This dude is bad ass.
Denmark is paying they're citizens salaries that are out of work while this country is going through this crisis
Dirty Sanchez move there then jack ass
Chris L what does the L stand for? Maybe LOSER
@a-z You lie and you like to mislead people. You f___ing idiot, the population of Phoenix is 1.66 million. The bigger the country the more taxes that are paid. So it doesn't matter how big the country cause they all collect taxes
Wait...you mean the $1200 dollars I’m supposedly getting in May isn’t going to be sufficient?!
Keith Crook
😆👍🏻 Well aren’t you extravagant?!
This made me holler😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
I haven’t gotten my stimilus check.
1200 bucks one time is a scam, thanks Massa.
I'm flat ass broke in two weeks....no stimulus, no food stamps, no help period. I will sit here until you drag my ass out.
I'm so glad I live in Europe.
Our "evil gubbamints" (lol) tell us to stay home, *and pay us to stay home.*
europe is home to beta males.🤣
@@ericnolan1300 Yup.
I'm a proud beta male.
Sitting at home and relaxing, on my sunny terrace, drinking coffee, not having to worry about tomorrow.
Kinda nice living in a caring society, where we look out for another :-)
@Aaron Burr Nah...100%. We're all dead....
I've been a self-motivated and self-interested student of the American Civil War for over 30 years. I have studied every aspect of the war and time period over the course of hundreds of books, articles, field trips and attending various lectures.
My friends, this CAN happen again. Yes, these circumstances today are in many ways different from what happened in 1861-1865.
But the dynamics of sectional tensions, economic and class inequality, party driven loyalty, and most dangerous of all: states rights to self govern vs. the power of a centralized federal government - all of those elements are present here in America in 2020.
They called WWI "The war to end all wars." Cool motto right? Yeah, well that lasted about 20 years until we had another world war. So much for it can never happen again.
Complex societies can break down even faster the more complex they are.
This is not a good time. This is the closest we've come to a second Civil War since 1865. And it scares the crap out of me.
Well... It IS weak, so I agree with him on that... And as justifiably angry as he and the rest of us are, don't really think that's going to get through to this administration.
Edward Jones II No he’s not angry he just makes these videos all the time he’s just using this to make money for his own channel he’s a really rich guy living in an $800,000 house in Manalapan New Jersey I bet he didn’t even really get a check once again just making this video to make money off of the issue but he’s really not a nice guy if you know him in person
That stimulus is so weak. As expected with a GOP plan. Other countries have their citizens well looked after.
There is a comedian in the uk who goes by the alias of Jonathan Pie. Pretty much every video he has ever done as a COMEDIAN sheds more light and truth on how incompetant the GOVT is and how the average person just has a giant steaming shit taken upon them at intervals that feel like every other day. Not just with COVID, but everything. And we don't have it half as bad as you guys do (yet)!
Trolls trolling poorly
You know, not everyone who disagrees with you or TYT is a troll...
HE'S BRILLIANT WHILE STILL BEING HILARIOUS.
...and it's a pittance, if you ever receive it, while they squander massive amounts of our money on the 1%.
I Love Vic, a real Truth Teller!
JFK Jr. Is Still Dead I know I love it when a rich person pretends to look after the poor
John Appice So...is Vic a “rich person”?
emphasize I agree with this comedian he's absolutely right it's our money not there's so they need to cough it up
He nailed it!!!!!
I didn't see a stimulus check...
I hope you're not bragging.😶
ana's transition is almost complete.🤗
She's speakin' from MY head. Doorknob
@GOP is DOA 🤣sounds like wishful thinking
He reminds me of my 1st sergeant, when I was a Marine company commander! He is right on point, if only more Americans would stop bending over for $1,200.00 or so. The UK got it right, they are paying all workers 80 percent of their salaries. Remember to vote for a Republican or Democrat, and bend over while you are doing it.
Can he run for president?
@the jack 🙄 so what's the "smart" choice?
Also it's OUR DOLLAR. OUR MONEY. That's our Right as Citizens!
The guy reminds me of Andrew Dice Clay and just like Andrew Dice Clay, I like this guy.
Vic needs to wrap his arm around his head and smoke a cigarette. :)
Man, John Steward really let himself go
Give us our money back!!!
We need 2K per month for the next 6 months, in the new Stimulus plan
They were actually proposing that. Time will tell if it will go thru 😐
@@roseking8555 They will not pass that! Anytime it comes time to give main st a bailout, Dems and Repubs, never can find the money or have all of the excuses in the world not to bail us out.
How is trickle-down economics any different than communism, in a privatized format?
That's the sick joke it isn't...
No with the fire behind the voice. we have the right to be angry. This is china fault, not Americans every american deserves to be taken cared for.
I follow Vic on Facebook and RUclips. He is very funny with his skits and he tells it like it is in life.
I hear him! It’s My money, man. What the f? I’ve been working since I was 14 and paying taxes all these years. I’m 33. But people like me get overlooked all the time. I’m also diabetic and because of what’s going on in this administration my Insulin has skyrocketed in price so yeah, where the f is my money? I have been working during this scary time cause I have to support myself and my family! So I cannot quarantine even though if I get sick, I’m probably dead because of my pre-existing condition.
I feel you man.
Luist Triolet. Once the Canada/USA border opens back up you should make a road trip up here to purchase some insulin. It’s a lot more affordable here. Most type 1 diabetics in Canada pay roughly $150.00 usd/month... and that’s without insurance.
100 percent on the goddamn money. I am a goddamn fan now.
I was tempted to preface this by saying my country has a much smaller population, but eff that, the US has more money than people, so no excuses. We are getting $2k a month for four months, no questions asked, with the caveat that any unneeded money will be taken out of next year's taxes. So... Your government is totally screwing you all over.
@Chris L who the f are you? You have no clue, you're a shit talker 😂
@Chris L 331m is not almost 400m. Subtract children, that's just over 230m adults. But that's irrelevant anyway, because the number of unemployed is 22m. The US annual budget is over $4 trillion. Over half a trillion goes to the military alone. Don't tell me the US can't afford more than $1200/person. 22m x 1200 = 26b. The US govt gave a tax grab to the rich worth over $1.5 trillion. Your over estimate on the total pop is meaningless.
@a-z Canada
@a-z Yes. How awful. Poor me. Living in a fantastic society that actually supports its citizens. My god. If only I lived in the US. Lol.
@a-z Wise decision deleting that reply. You think an American can talk about oil exploitation? And I am Native. So you telling me anything about how my people have been treated won't work. America has treated my people even worse. I've got tons of gripes with the government in Canada, but it's nothing that I can't say about America too.
In 2008 republican president - My retirement was wacked for 45 THOUSAND DOLLARS - I never saw it again - All the banks and giant corporations were bailed out. I was robbed. I broke my back for that money. The banks crashed the economy and they were rewarded for it. 45 GRAND!!!
Any network with half a mind to make some cash should give that man an opinion show... and just let him rip...
Ana shout out I love you girl, so passionate about life.
Unfortunately this topic I know all to much about. I became disabled a decade ago after a strong productive career. My employer found ways to wrongfully deny my bargained for corporate disability benefits. They At&t are self insured, so of course they deny everyone with corporate greed and Randal Steven's stuffs his pockets and uses the stolen money to pay lobbyists.
I waited 2.5 years for my Social Security Disability to be approved for which I have gone through a review and been re approved.
The worst part of all is not that my employer not only has lobbied the government into paying my bills they should be legally responsible for. Or that the government then protects and bails out these giant corporate welfare entities on the regular either.
The worst part is actually the social stigma. Not the disease, the pain, loosing everything multiple times, being screwed over by my employer and government.
Unemployment is insurance we pay premiums for.
Disability insurance we pay premiums for.
Somehow the shame is shifted onto the victim, and it belongs to the greedy politicians who spun this web of a corporate welfare state.
Desperate people do desperate things, soon the rich will find out!
WE THE PEOPLE. Not F%$KING CORPORATIONS!
But corporations are recognized as people.
@@johnmeyers6703 can i guillotine a corporation?
@@BaltoSojnekah, doesn't matter that it's not flesh and blood, courts recognize corporations as people with rights. It's dumb. A building, registered as a corporation has more rights than you.
Thank you for bringing out this fact. I live in Missouri. We do pay into the unemployment a percentage by what we make. But, so many who are brain washed bring up the fact the employer pays in, but what these individual’s don’t know is the fact, if we do not use our unemployment benefit in 5 years the company gets their portion of what they paid Back. I found this out while I was a shop steward in a factory building vending Machines during the late 70’s to 82. I don’t know if that is still true. But it was back then. Maybe if our money wasn’t wasted giving free rides to the socialistic jerks Kocks, & DeVoss, ect. We’d have the money to take care of our poor, tired & hungry & our Veterans.
Give us socialism or give conservatives covid 19.
Yes, thank you. I have conservative relatives who also think that the advantages of birth right have nothing to do with why some people just have it better than others. This notion that if you are willing to work for it, you can achieve anything is such utter bullshit! Yes, hard work is important, but if you are not born in a good neighbourhood, if you are a minority, if you are a woman who "got knocked up" because you didn't have access to birth control or couldn't "close your legs" - as one asshole politician said years ago, or if you are disadvantaged by numerous other factors, there is no way to work hard enough to attain what the millionaires and billionaires of the country have. This notion that everyone has an equal chance to make it big, is such a lie - particularly a conservative lie, because it behooves them to perpetuate it, and pretend that someone with a huge school debt, who works for minimum wage just needs to work harder or make smarter choices, or that people struck by hard times or unfair conditions just needs to suck it up and work for what the privileged few have. God, get money out of politics. Get this notion that anyone who asks for help to get out of a rut, or wishes to have an education that won't cripple them with debt for the next few decades, or gets sick and doesn't have health insurance to stop them from being buried in debt, is just a freeloader who it taking advantage of the system. Help these people to recover and they will, in turn, help the economy. Let them suffer now, and you will never recover as a nation.
I'm Canadian and already, our Liberal government has provided stimulus cheques to its citizens, EI, or other measures to help us work through this crisis. I get $2000 a month for the foreseeable future because I meet the simple criteria of needing to stay home with my elementary school aged child, and I cannot work while I have to educate her at home, babysit and deal with all the other issues facing us during this crisis. I watch what happens in the US and I feel such despair for your people. We, the middle class, have to stand up for what is right and I hope your next election ousts that useless sack of shit you have as a President.
I cannot imagine Obama ever letting Americans suffer as you have all suffered, nor would he get on the news to promote his own efforts before giving condolences to families of those who die every day in your country. You have a rich history of being and doing good, and I hate to see the turn your country has taken - not only in the world, but with your vitriolic disparity of opinions and commonality among your political parties. You have forgotten who your are and what you stand for, and all your politicians do is give lip service to better men and women who came before, whist disappointing on a daily basis, the people they were elected or appointed to serve. Shame.
*Meanwhile, The Stable Genius’ senility has become alarming.* A reporter reminded him that he held rallies in February and March.
“Oh, I don’t know about rallies. I really don’t know about rallies. I know one thing. I haven’t left the White House in months,” he said.
The doddering old fool held rallies on: > *January 3, 9, 14, 28, 30, February 10, 19, 20, 21, 28, and March 2, 2020.*
The working class pays all of the taxes. The owner class pay none of the taxes, and even those who do pay, they pay it with the surplus value of labor that the workers produced. Hence, the owner class never pay taxes. However, the owner class gets almost the entire bail out (which comes from the workers’ labor) while the workers get spit on the face. I think we should abolish taxation, and make the owner class pay with hours of labor. At the very least, Jeff Bezos should deliver goods with his own hands, 8 hours a day, 6 days per week, for a least 30 days. We should make the entire owner class do something similar. This is still unfair though. The working class work more hours a day, and 12 months a year. OK, I changed my mind, we should make owner class work at least 40 hours per weak, and 12 months per year. We should never accept “their” money, only labor, and the amount of labor should be reciprocal to all we work we do. This is the only way to have a just society. Yes, we deserve unemployment insurance. We worked for it, and the owner class stole it in the form of profits. Yes, we deserve universal basic income. We worked for it, but the parasites (the owner class) stole it. You have to decide whether you want you and/or your family to die of coronavirus, while the parasites get to live in mansions and send you back to the mines, or whether you want a just society, a democratic society, one in which you can tell your boss, “you first, motherfucker.” Freedom is impossible unless we abolish private dictatorships. If you disagree, then: It’s the economy. Go die for it, stupid!
Everything this man said is straight facts💯
All Americans should watch all his recent videos, he calls it as it is. Stay safe
Absolutely right it’s our money
You never heard of Vic!? fml.... Anna where have you been!? ^^
"Coffee! Who wants coffee?! I'm makin the coffee over here!! We got french vanilla, we got Italian cream, we got ya sisters ass!"
I love this guy
Same
If you break it down tax payers paid around $16,500 to receive a $1200 check.
Anthony B first off there’s no way you paid 16,000 in taxes. Second it’s 1,200 more than you would have gotten back 🙀
Think about this, the military pay taxes and then get paid using those taxes. Many military members are getting paid less than minimum wage, especially when you take into account working 16 hour days, or more, for months on end while deployed.
Exactly!!!
The men and woman in the military get crumbs in comparison to the Military industrial complex corporations.
We should all have the same fire that Vic has! If we don't we don't care enough!
