"the rate doesn't matter its the amount paid" = You are right about that. US used to be the world economic power, back then riches paid a lot more tax and they hated it. When riches started paying less, the economy started to slow down .. and down.. and down. Rate doesn't matter, what works best is.
allgoo19 Says:
'I once called Osama Bin Laden anti-American. What does that make me?" = It would make you uneducated person. Word "Anti-American" is used as "traitor" to describe some American citizens. If you are not American, it would make you "enemy of US". Nobody called German or Japanese force as "Anti-american" during WWII. I don't know anybody called Osama Bin Laden "Anti-American" except you.
brokkenstar Says:
No, it's called lets higher slave labor with no benefits overseas where there are also no environmental regulations, now that's called being capitalist pigs, and unpatriotic, stabbing there own countrymen and country in the back.

"from 40,000 employees to 5,000". Many manufacturing companies followed that path. Not only in America. It is called higher productivity.

zzyzx0788 Says:
Ya know I really hate when people resort to rhetoric and name-calling over actual arguments, but what you said is so true that I'm ok with it
searching4dtruth Says:
No you are an idiot.
zooders Says:
yeah cause you sure pay millions a year...
BloodJunkie11 Says:
sure the rate does not matter if your looking to let the rich keep most of their money.
zooders Says:
whats the big fucking deal with the tax rate. if my tax rate was 99 percent id still pay less then buffet if he paid .1 percent. the rate doesn't matter its the amount paid
dekecds Says:
ummmm......@hoschi : Your an idiot. You just can't cover everything in a couple of minutes. AND he did cover GE. You obviously went into this blind, and refused to hear what the point was. WHY ARE WE GIVING AWAY AMERICAN MONEY WHEN WERE GOING BROKE?!?!

Cenk's an idiot
donyunger Says:
2 classes of wealth in the OS 1 represent by Buffet , the other by the Koch boys. I ironically both group earned their wealth the old fashion way. Buffet earned it, the Koch's inherited. For some stupid reason Americans listen to the Kochs, rather than Buffet. Buffet knows in time he & the Kochs will do better if we listen to Buffet. Buffet is willing to wait for it, the Koch's wanted it yesterday. They are going hungry dontcha know?
Hoschi0913 Says:
nice vid and speech of this "comentator",since you are on the corporation and on exxon ,let me ask you this......how about GE? they didnt payed any taxes either ,where is your rant on them?,or how about the Federal Reserve Bank? didnt hear anything about them in your speech ? oh and fyi the federeal reserve made $10B more in profit than Exxon in 2008 (i believe not sure),so how about you bash them for a change? and one more thing ,Federal laws apply's to every Manufacture/Producer not Oil only
yourlovingmother Says:
well, we know that it wasn't because of high taxes, don't we?
CI9TK Says:
Don't forget, corporations get tax breaks because "they are going to create more jobs" - but corporations are required to put the interests of their shareholders before ALL other interests (see Documentary "The Corporation"). So Large companies and their Board of Directors earn much MORE money if they move jobs overseas and get cheap labor. That's why we have "Free Trade", the corporations bring the items for sale back into the USA tax free.
brokkenstar Says:
Why don't you ask him, ask him if being an employee of G.E. of Schenectady, N.Y., where I'm from by the way, and how they went from 40,000 employees to 5,0000 employees, yet went overseaas to China and elsewhere and opened sweatshops to fill the treacherous void of unAmerican behavior, you ask him and those in dozen cities like Schenectady which G,.E,. abandoned for cheap labor, no living wage, no health insurance, and no environmental laws.
thanatos101b Says:
Too bad you've been exposed as a liar. Run along little hobbit.
brokkenstar Says:
Truth hurts! So long, hope you don't get too brainwashed by the corporate mouthpieces that inhabite our land . . . .
thanatos101b Says:
Wow, you are just a pretty little liar. Go off now, spread your lies elsewhere. There are probably people out there that are too lazy to bother confronting you with them.
brokkenstar Says:
Money has a calming affect, especially big money, surely they didn't pick him up because he was going to annnounce the ugly truth about the capitalists who have taken over our country and her government by bribery and lobbying with the Supreme Court's blessing!
thanatos101b Says:
I do not care how corrupt his boss is. Do you know why? Because Cenk is not his boss. But please, quite stating random (untrue) things, and show how Cenk is "just a corporate mouthpiece." Go on. Show it. I've now asked you to show it three times, so if it is a fact, then you should have explicit examples of it. Back up your words or you are just a tiny, little liar.
brokkenstar Says:
Well if you watched my video you would no how corrupt his boss is, in short, he's now just a corporate mouthpiece, and it's sad that we don't enforce antitrust laws anymore, because G.E. and companies like them, giant monopolies, would not be allowed to own a television network. By the way, the federal airwaves are property of the people, unfortunately we haven't yet charged these networks any rent to use our airwaves.
