This is stupid. OWS and the debt are two separate issues. Shame on for trying to conflate the two, Bill Whittle (whoever you are).

You think that for one second I should believe the lies coming out of this turd's mouth?

"Of the 3.7 trillion budget, more than 2.6 trillion, or about 72%, is covered by existing taxes. It’s understandable that we would run something of a deficit during a recession (when a family member has to take a temporary pay cut, for instance, the family may temporarily shift some spending to credit cards until full income is restored), and you can’t argue that SOME increase in tax on the highest income levels – and cleaning up the loopholes that let GE pay no taxes at all – would destroy the economy."

Plus, his "assumptions" dismiss the reality that redistributive tax funds don't disappear, the poor put literally all of their money back into the economy, because, believe it or not they need to eat and live indoors too.

Plus his initial numbers on net income of Exxon and Walmart are wrong, how many of his other numbers are wrong?

Downvoting because a) no one has ever suggested that we appropriate all of Exxon's money and put it towards paying off the debt and b) he is conflating the issues of debt and vast income disparity. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Not to mention highly dishonest.

No 'garbage' channel? I love how all these right wing voices are coming out of the woodwork to try and convince everyone that taxing the rich is bad, in whatever way they can think of, including this cutesy creative numbers load. Smells like desperation.

Now I feel dirty for commenting on this doomed lie pile.
