Just listen to this clip. Here we have Matt Taibbi debating Bay Buchanan in a debate about Wall Street. Listen to this pathetic Republican excuse to protect the thieves on Wall Street. It looks like what she is saying is that Republicans have a hard time reading anything bigger than the Sunday supermarket circular. Good Grief.

didn't watch clip...
wall street can't steal your money...
only money you're FORCED to pay is taxes...
YOU vote for people that want to raise taxes...
you're giving your money away yourself...
look in the mirror and wake the fukk up...Comment -
look, thats the way its going to be, ok?
big banks will risk money, if it is successful, they keep the money, if it is unsuccessful, the government is going to pay them back
this country was not created to make things equal for small companies and big companies
if small companies aren't happy about that, then they should hire their own lobbyists and make their own political donations
if they aren't capable of hiring their own lobbyists and making their own political donations, well TOUGH
instead of whining that the rules are unfair against them, liberals should WORK to make the rules unfair in their favor
why don't liberals WORK to try to make the rules unfair in their favor? We all know the simple answer - BECAUSE THEY ARE LAZY, and then they whine about the people who DO work to make the rules unfair in their favor

who stopped you from working on wall st?Comment -
Wall st doesn't steal money, Wall st GIVES you money
Where do you get your money from? A BANK. Where are banks from? WALL ST!
end of conversation
the more money we give to banks, the more money there is for banks to give to us
banks should have ZERO regulations, banks should be able to do WHATEVER they want, and to take huge risks, and if the banks make money, they should keep it, and if the banks lose money, we should pay them back
common sense, end of debate
Republicans understand thisComment -
lol really? you know the community college education you got, that doesn't qualify you to work in big banks and corporations in that street. you know that right? unless you attend private high schools, you can't get into ivey league colleges. if you can't get into ivey league colleges, you can't work there. bottom line, unless you come from a rich families, you have no chance...Comment -
I was hoping a hippie clown like you would comment, first off never went to college Im 23 barley got out of HS, first your talking out of your ass saying you have to go to private school to get into ivey maybe some but not all (liberal excuse) if your not happy with the system than try and beat it and stop with this self entitlement bullshit, start selling drugs if you want to become rich but was to lazy to and self entitled to get a good educationComment -
I have no problem with military spending...
Without our great military, none of us would be here wasting our time arguing with communists...
As long as my government keeps the roads paved, the electricity flowing, clean water, safe schools, and promises to protect me (with military and police)... than I can take care of the rest myself...
keep it simple stupid...Comment -
Stop voting for politicians that bail of companies. If a bank or any company for that matter risks a shit ton of money and loses, fukk em. Let them go out of business. The others will learn from that shit. Bailing them out just sends the message that it's ok, we will just give them money.Comment -
U know what is funny? Now the premise of this video is showing the bullshit excuses Republicans make so thieves can run wild. This phony bitch is saying the bill is to big. It is to tough to read. It is to confusing. Well, Taibbi has spent his whole life pointing out Wall Streets fraudulent behavior. The guy is a pit bull and wasn't gonna hear any of those bullshit for the brain dead excuses. Now here this asshole who answers my post and tells me he didn't watch the clip. She don't want to spend anytime reading the bill because it is to big and this asshole can't watch a 4 minute tape LMFAO. Now i see why this bitch said what she did.Comment -
Im not in the top 1 percent so who are u talking about when u say raise taxes? Ryan's (a republican)budget is the one that takes from the middle class to give to the top 1 percent. I don't see any democratic proposals to take from the middle class and give to the top 1 percent. So i get it. U are in the top 1 percent? Or maybe just a fool who parrots Fox News talking points.Comment -
Pull it together Thor...
I don't even watch the news, it's all agenda driven bullshit...
You are either a conservative that believes in small government and capitalism...
Or you're a liberal that believes people are dumb and need the government to take care of them...
There is no in between!
Everything else, gay marriage, race, bullying, etc. etc. is just nonsense to control the herd...
You are part of the herd, now go "occupy" some city and do the dirty work of the socialists that look forward to ruining this country so they can take control...Comment -
Oh yeah, I forgot "global warming" err I mean "climate change"...
Remember when Al Gore had you out protesting the evil "Climate Changers" LOL...
That's not important anymore? Now it's the evil 1%ers... LOL
Wake up you Fukkin Clowns!!!Comment -

Thread Title: "Here is what is wrong about this country"
For those that are older than 30 and got a half-ass real education, they see the irony of this thread from the start...
For those of you that are younger and have been getting indoctrinated with diversity training instead of learning how to READ and WRITE, you might want to ask the OP how he plans on saving a country when he can't even speak that country's language???Comment -
neo cons love to give excuses.. Motherfukkers must think they are the only ones that work...
And Theres a reason why right wing propangada sells 100x more than left wing..DUMBFUKK SHEEP.Comment -
King, every time u try to point oout to these asshats how gullible they are they turn to the gov't assistance card. No proof but hey why not say it anyway. Just one of those assholes who cries socialism all of the time but if he heard a noise outside of his home, he would hide under his bed and call the cops on his cell phone. Those socialize cops.Comment -
Learn a little bit about the bailouts of wallstreet, and then try to use your big ol' sharp brains, and decide if any of our tax dollars (the admitted "only thing you have to pay") went into it.
Jesus fukkin christ.
The Sycophants today are disgusting.Comment -
We're so beyond fukked right now.......Within the Democrats we got some legitimate good people that actually wanna help people that don't want to improve themselves and stay on government aid. And then on the Republican side we have fukkin poor sheep below the poverty line voting for and with a party that wants to help the top 1%
Only chance is Ron Paul/Libertarian Party.....And it's not just all about Ron Paul, but more about the idea of moving away from 2 corrupt failures that don't give a Fukk about the good of the country (Dems and Repubs) but rather what keeps them in power
So fukked and the sheep are too busy arguing fukkin semantics day in and day out.......Yeah cause it really matters that some gay couple gets married.......This really matters?? really??Comment -
No I don't agree with this. Pay off the deficit first and foremost. then programs will be re-instated as many should. Planned Parenthood, programs for medicare for the poor and elderly, better funding for schools because we need to invest in our future's education.Comment -
You never seem to get it. The GOP is responsible for the largest expansion in government ever with the implementation of homeland security. They were the ones coming up with all kinds of fake reasons for war resulting in another 3 trillion down the shitter. With all the enemies they have made through the world we can never reduce military spending according to them. Even stupid stuff like legalizing internet gambling that could generate tax revenue they would rather steal from the poor to give tax breaks to the 1%, keep the wars going and increase size of military.Comment -
You can't be for a large military, and against big government/higher taxes. The ideas are mutually exclusive.
And to an even more theoretical extent, you can be both for a free market and a strong national defense.Comment -
Thor,
There are millions and millions of whining liberal democrats who have failed miserably at everything they have set out to do.
Instead of trying to better themselves, they continue to blame their failures directly at those who have succeeded.
Barack Obama and the democratic party continue to engage in class warfare as they tell their support base that the Mitt Romney's are responsible for keeping them down.
Obama and the democratic party's platform of trying to punish success and reward failure is whats wrong with the country.
NOBODY is forcing you to invest in the financial markets. If you feel the playing field isn't level (and it most certainly isn't), then invest your money somewhere else. Take some personal responsibility for the decisions you make in life and if things go well for you, then thats great. If things don't go so well, stop blaming others for the poor decisions you make.
If liberal democrats had the above mentality, it would be a huge positive step for themselves and the country.
Great post IIfold. I sure wish everyone had your mindset.I have no problem with military spending...
Without our great military, none of us would be here wasting our time arguing with communists...
As long as my government keeps the roads paved, the electricity flowing, clean water, safe schools, and promises to protect me (with military and police)... than I can take care of the rest myself...
