MSNBC's Dylan Ratigan is mad as hell about the U.S. financial crisis--and he's not gonna take it anymore!
While convening a roundtable discussion on the market meltdown on his eponymous MSNBC show on Tuesday, Ratigan exploded.
"We've got a real problem!" an exasperated Ratigan shouted. "This is a mathematical fact! Tens of trillions of dollars are being extracted from the United States of America. Democrats aren't doing it, Republicans aren't doing it. An entire integrated system, financial system, trading system, taxing system, that was created by both parties over a period of two decades is at work on our entire country right now. And we're sitting here arguing about whether we should do the $4 trillion plan that kicks the can down the road for the president for 2017, or burn the place to the ground, both of which are reckless, irresponsible, and stupid."
"I'm sorry to lose my temper," he continued. "But, I tell you what, I've been coming on TV for three years doing this, and the fact of the matter is that there's a refusal on both the Democratic and the Republican side of the aisle to acknowledge the mathematical problem, which is that the United States of America is being extracted."
Later, on the show's website, Ratigan called it his "epic 'Network' moment."
The clip of the entire rant is worth watching, which you can (and should) do.
You have some kind of special gibberish translator?
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Wasn't Reagans Fed chairman appointed by Jimmeh Carter?
You can trace 'em back to Nixon if you like.

WOW so we got a market rise based upon banning short selling thus destroying the markets and certain plunge to come. Just fantastic work again FED world bankster boys! Standing ovation!!
The Superman president concept. We don't have a superman in the WH. Kennedy and Reagan came closest to that.
We need a president with integrity and guts, who's just crazy enough to try fighting the establishment via a direct appeal to the people. Ron Paul has the integrity and is probably crazy enough, not sure if he has the guts. It also takes a special kind of ability, or stage presence, to get the people of the US on your side and keep them there during the tough transition to a Constitutional Republic. Reagan and Kennedy had it. Note that both were shot.
Such a president would be fighting the MSM and both parties. He'd have to have massive public support to pull it off. Tea Party+++
"We (government) need to do a lot less, a lot sooner" ~Ron Paul
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Everybody is dreaming. Until we have a serious discussion of how flawed, how corrupt, the world we live in truly is, nothing good can happen. As long as we keep pretending that our political system works, that everything is on the up and up, nothing good can happen. Until we stop deceiving ourselves about every damn thing except ourselves, nothing good can happen. And until we all face the music, and if you've got a scheme for solving all our problemseverybody doesI don't want to fucking hear your fucking plan. Got it?
This video (below) of Dylan Ratigan's recent rant has gone viral in the blogosphere. Ratigan is slowly coming to the realization that he lives in the United States, not in La La Land where reasonable plans work. He's not quite there yet. (He seems to think Obama is less corrupt than the others.) Near the end of the video, MSNBC contributor Jimmy Williams says
Money in politics is the root of all political evil
All serious discussions begin with this simple observation. If you skip over it, or pretend money in politics doesn't matter, if you assume politicians are sincere, that they are earnest, you are fooling yourself. Apparently, you prefer to live in a world of bullshit. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Until Americans get serious about solving the root of all political evil, evil is what they will get.
Based on your post, one of the problems with some folks is that you want spectacular presentation without understanding the contents of the message. It is difficult to manage the multivariate elements of requirements for America, however and to achieve perfect presentation while really directing a message is nearly impossible. And that is why America shall always be SOLD OUT.
Many people just want someone that is an actor; that is the problem with contemporary America's elected leaders: all white teeth and gift for gab and don't accomplish anything but muddle the nation.
Plus, Barry's a flamer. He doesn't walk, he sashays his skinny gay azz as though he's vogueing down a designer model runway in Frisco.
"It's not surprising, then, they [White Pennsylvanians] get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." ~ Comrade-in-Chief Barry Hussein 0bama
When I voted for him I didn't realize he was an Ayn Rand worshiper.
Or else you would have voted for....Gus Hall's corpse??

Don't worry - he'll apologize for his brief "slip up" and return to doing what he's paid to do - shill for 0bama and the socialist NWO.

sometimes you let out too much information about yourself...

Sometimes you get it right, Jimbo. Sometimes.
Still, you never seem to blame 0bama for anything. That's where you lose hemorrhage cred points.

I don't think you can realistically say that you speak for Everyman. And, honestly, I wish you could that way I could get all my data based on your posts.
I like some of what Paul has to say...
Well, I like EVERYTHING he has to say. The torches of personal freedoms and liberty are reignited with Ron Paul this year.
He sounds like he's getting cornholed when he speaks...
Funny line....made even funnier when you realize it's Barry who's the one who loooves getting cornholed.

To achieve perfect presentation while really directing a message is nearly impossible. And that is why America shall always be SOLD OUT.
These days (with the advent and success of "multiculturalism" and class-ism), this is because "America" has been successfully shattered into the million pieces the elites aimed for. Operation: 'DIVIDE AND CONQUER' has been a sensational success.
THE Sell Out began in earnest and in broad daylight under Poppa NWO Bush.
The last President to remotely "achieve the perfect presentation" while directing a message that most Americans could believe and truly be inspired by was...Ronald Reagan. And he'd achieve it on several occasions.

Who can disagree with basic premise? Not me.
This small group of terrorists [Tea Party members] have made it impossible to spend any money. -- Mike Doyle (D-PA)
Selling points put in by the founders to win over a skeptical populace.
If you are not convinced about the absolute break-down of US governance within these contemporary trying times, where are you going? Both of these political parties have lied to us. And they are scrambling with some of the greatest REAL problems of the nation since WW2.
Ron Paul always stood clear and unequivocal throughout his 24 congressional background. Although I am paraphrasing his position, he has maintained quit the BS!

One of the big problems was when the political parties started listening to the, mainly, corporate lobbyists before they listened to the citizens. Maybe they thought a free market was one of those ideals mentioned in the constitution, yet I can only find tariffs, fees and taxes mentioned as far as trade is concerned.
Paul uses mainly unworkable, some can even say unhuman platitudes as his political positions. His worshiping of Ayn Rand says it all. Her characters are all idealized figments and the world she described as being possible was right out of Grimm's Fairytales.
There has got to be a way for collaboration from time to time. There are ways, too. It is called a few rules of respect for personal communications.
Otherwise, we all crash together similar to other chit-chat forums. I consulted my famous eight ball and asked a simple question: Can't we all get along. The answer was revealing, too. "You have asked the wrong question again."
I like how you pretend at being smart while avoiding anything approaching a serious discussion.
You've noticed that too?
Jimmy is a one-sided rolling monologue of enigmatic, ethereal posting. There is no real "debate" of points.

Corporate entities have been in existence since 1793. They are protected as much as individuals by US law. So, I don't understand your complaint unless you are challenging the FACT that corporations pay taxes. Are you doing that?

I think I understand your point. Please clarify so I can expand my opinion without going off on a wild-goose chase; I don't like to waste time.
