Jon Stewart is angry at Rick Santelli and CNBC

This thing with Santeli and Stewart is starting to feel like opposing populist camps taking their sides and drawing their lines.


Stewart seems to be trying to hold the experts in the relevant fields accountable.

Santelli seems to be an expert who was wrong, and who's now demagogically advocating letting the economy burn in order to prove a point.

In the basement next to the blue human-sized drums and Grandpa's 70s film reels of depraved child pornography. Duh.

Jesus, as I have read him, was written as saying "help thy neighbors" not "force thy neighbors to help thy neighbors."
Playing a little loose and fast with Christianity are we?
>> ^dag:
Higher taxes to help your fellow citizens is not a bad thing - you could even say it's the Christian way.



Stellar, you think you're the only person in the world who does any work, don't you?

Funny of you to criticize a Christian tenet when you have yet to say anything that would demostrate your humanity, lest of all your religious preference.

If you really want to be a big man and do it all yourself, you should buy a boat and live at sea, because short of that, you're just compromising yourself and being a pain in the ass.

I'm guessing you lose something like 40% of your income to taxation after federal and state income tax, sales tax, social security, medicare, property tax, gas tax, etc. which brings your actual net income to only $22,800. With your two kids, thats only $7600 a year per person, or $633 a month.
I wonder what your life would be like with an extra $15,200 a year? It would be as if you had a $25,333 raise, bringing your salary to well over $63,333. That is the life you could have, if it wasn't taken away from you every year.



Just remember, that would also mean that for the last 200 years, the United states wouldn't have spent a dime on national defense, courts, law enforcement, fire fighters, roads, bridges, health and safety standards enforcement, public schools, college scholarships, medical research, social security, or disaster warnings and response.

So yes, you might have $15,200 more each year , but something tells me that private organizations wouldn't have provided those services for free to everyone.

Imstellar, I think conservatives have a decent argument when they say that perhaps private industry could have provided those services more flexibly and with less cost, but when they pretend that tax money is just being vaporized as it's collected, they just undermine their own credibility.

If I saw Jon Stewart being mugged in a dark alley by someone who just lost their job or home, I would probably keep walking by without saying a word.


When they say crap like that, it makes me question their humanity.

They way I figure it, the average tax-paying American owes ($65,000,000,000,000/150,000,000) = $43,333 on top of whatever private debt they already have; which for many many people, who own a house, is somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,0000. When you have a nation full of people in debt somewhere between $43,333-$193,333+, in what sense can the average American be said to have nothing to do with this mess?


The average American had nothing to do with creating this mess. I know that Milton Friedman Fan Boys like you are not renowned for their ability to read between the lines, but I thought even you would understand that, steller.

I see no reason to listen to a word you say, and it is anything but scientific. It's as scientific as learning the rules of the game "Monopoly" inside and out, then acting as if that were the only board game in the world. It's just another expression of your narrow point of view, which is that of s square peg carefully honed to fit a square hole.

Our country, and by extension, the world are in big trouble right now. Guess who got us into it? The bankers, the capitalists, the people who are supposed to have all the answers and all of our best interests at heart.

You are arrogant in regards to your abilities, and insensitive in regards to the suffering of others. It is people like you who got us into this mess. It is people like you who could always rationalize giving themselves giant bonuses even after their businesses lost money and laid hundreds of people off. And the bonus was for retention, because God knows we just couldn't make it without people like you keeping your jobs.
