It’s a game.
@QCHitch except obama bailed out the car companies. did he not? you think that was free?
@QCHitch wrong and wrong, the economy was in a downfall when bush took over , second regulations would not have mattered if barney frank had not pushed for the bad loans that caused the downfall, second the repubs actually pushed for regulations on the housing market as early as 2003 and dems blocked it, there are plenty of videos on youtube with proof of what i just said, so the problem is regulations and TOO much government intervention in the market
soooooo Maxine Waters is protecting capitalism buy unethically bailing out her husbands bank, taking bribes and having multiple affairs? Wow! I never knew democrats could be so productive with our tax dollars!
Thanks Youngjerks for labeling yourselves by having Maxine Waters as a guest on your show and running videos like this. It leaves no doubt which side you are on.
As a member of the right-wing, I have to agree with this bill. Just pains me to see that republicans fail to see the good in this one simply because it was introduced by democrats. The political divide has become too large that it’s not the political parties that are suffering anymore. The people’s voices are not being heard in DC by either party. It’s good to see at least some individuals are still out there for the people, regardless of political party. Hope still lives.
0bama’s Health Care Bill. . . Do you back his administration?? See my you tube channel page and Know exactly why Americas opinons are needed !!!
The title of this sounds the an oximoron?
You forget. Say a Public company that sells 50% of it’s assets to stock. Therefore why should the stock holders have more of a say than the owner management of the company. Therefor this logic is flawed. Not even most companies sell more than 50% of it’s self for this reasons. The person who owned this company and brought it up should have more say because of all the risk they took than some negative share holder who actually could be a plant from another company for all we know therefor flawed.
I guess they probably make up the difference in huge bonuses for themselves. They can’t very well sell off their shares and cause shares to fall; besides, it would be obvious that they’re crooks.
Actually, the execs kind of DO own the companies, too. After all, they usually have stock options, which allows them to A LOT of shares of stock if the co. does well. Combine a few of these execs, and you’ve got majority share-ownership of the co. Or at least a very big portion that would dilute a lot of the shareholders’ voices.
I’m a pretty free-market guy, but Cenk’s right. The shareholders, who own even tiny fractions of a co. , should have at least some say. After all, they invested IN the co. ! They’re providing equity to give the co. extra cash. There’s a reason companies go public, after all.
I can’t believe the shareholders say on executive pay bill was scrapped. If it was passed, a lot less of those failed executives would be wlaking away with millions.
Then why have police, military, fire dept. ? That’s socialism. I should be allowed to form a militia and go take my money back from goldman sachs. No? Oh, right, the socialist authority would stop me, who I pay for.
If no one is expected to contribute, how will society work? The rallying cry of the American Revolution was “No taxation without representation,” not no taxation. I’ve been told that both the *Bible* and the communists have one principle in common: You don’t work, you don’t eat. So, expecting Limbaugh and the Wall Street bunch and such others to contribute more mere money is hardly unreasonable. Label it as you like. BTW, “socialism” is not a four letter word.
yea poor people working hard and getting paid shitty and living in shitty places are just jealous. how petty.
I served 4 years and couldn’t care less about how much the rich or poor contribute to society because they shouldn’t be expected to in the United States, its called freedom and capitalism.
Believing that they should out of jealousy or some other skewed reason and penalizing them for it is socialism.
Punishing success like that belongs where it’s welcomed such as communist Russia or North Korea, and maybe its supporters do as well. Do you support socialism out of jealousy?
Oh, Adam Smith and Abraham Lincoln both believed labor was superior to capital. The Republicans now believe that capital is superior to labor.
Stock brokers and investment bankers–and other of that ilk also do no real work. Then there are people such as Donald Trump–who started with just a dream and daddy’s hundred mil. And, of course, we wouldn’t want to diminish Paris Hilton’s lifestyle. It’s more about taking from the valueless and near valueless.
A good portion of the rich have contributed nothing of real value to society. Rush Limbaugh is a good example: (1) He never served in the military (nor did I), (2) He has no academic qualifications–two semesters and a summer, in which he failed everything. (3) It seems he never did a day of real work in his life. Being a DJ and a PR flak for a baseball team is not real work. Real work brings about some material change in the world–Rush Limbaugh is a professional clown/whiner.
Not this one because it was Jim Gaffigan.
It’s already one of them for me. Along with “Come on, come on, come on, come on. . . . ” over and over.
Motion to officially make “OF COOOOUUUUUURSE!” Cenk’s catchphrase.
I know right.
Repubs always talk about “small businesses in America” while passing tax policies that let corporations step in and destroy any small competition.
But if the workers have any say, that’s just CRAZY right???
Cenk, if you really think about it, the shareholders are even more sole interested in money, and while that’s based on the companies profit rather than salary, It further erodes the company from providing any real long term service or responsibility. The key factor here, is the workers obviously. They have the most “invested” in the company, and truly have an interest in the future of the company.
But I guess Im just a CRAZY commi eh?
The Progressive ads that play before every video. does it not annoy anyone else?
