EAT THE RICH!

First, I question where he's getting his numbers from, because I listened to this guy's whole rant and some of his numbers are not what is actually true. He also is selective in how he presents these numbers. A very smart man I used to know once did a demonstration for me --- he talked real fast and threw out a lot of "facts" (or so they seemed, due to the authoritative manner he used) to convince me of the veracity of a position he took (for the sake of argument). Sounded REALLY convincing. After he was done, he then pointed out the errors, the misrepresentations, the fake statistics, and the outright lies he presented to me. VERY enlightening. It taught me to actually LISTEN, think, and objectively analyze what people say, especially when they talk fast and SOUND like they know their stuff. Like this guy. No doubt we have spent waaaaay too much money, but he ended up leaving me with the impression that he was just another rich guy trying to deflect attention away from himself.....he failed.

Ok 11:42. Please show me the numbers you have. In all due respect to you, I hope this message was not too fast for you to comprehend. Please respond with the facts you have. Thanks.

5:50, have you ever done your own homework in school, or did you just use the "dog ate it" excuse?

11:42 I would not want to insinuate that you are one of those slow-witted individuals who lacks the ability to discern facts from hyperbole, and a refutation of this mans video would take a bit longer than I have to devote to it. However, if you LISTEN, he double and triple counts revenue and assets. Further, he says the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan cost 105 billion. Really?? You believe thats ALL it's cost so far? And this site recently posted an article that said the richest 400 Americans have more wealth than the rest of us combined. That's indefensible. Know what the GNP is? This man is defending the rich (in a very half-assed way) and attempting to criticize the spending levels. He should have stuck to critcizing the budget.
