IF YOU HAVE FOUND OUT ABOUT TRUMPS PROPOSED TAX PLAN
YOU MIGHT THINK THAT THE TAX CUTS ARE GOING TO BE GIVEN
TO THE RICHEST AMERICANS ARE THE BIGGEST WAY YOU ARE GOING
TO BE SCREWED.
IT TURNS OUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS YOU MIGHT BE SCREWED
IN A WAY THAT COULD THEORETICALLY HURT
PROGRESSIVES FOR DECADES GOING FORWARD.
AS I AM READING THIS BEAR IN MIND THAT IN OTHER VIDEOS I
HAVE COMPARED THE PLANS.
IN ALMOST EVERY WAY IT WILL LOOK A LOT LIKE THE BUSH
TAX PLAN.
RIGHT NOW ONLY ONE OUT OF EVERY NINE DOLLARS COMES FROM
CORPORATE TAXES.
THAT ONE OUT OF NINE IS NOW, AND WE ARE ABOUT TO CUT
CORPORATE TAXES BY 60%.
YOU WERE JUST SAYING THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE
HIGHEST TAX RATE BUT IN EFFECT IT IS THE LOWEST.
LET'S BRING THOSE DOWN TO MATCHING EACH OTHER.
I'M NOT GOOD AT MATH, BUT THAT IS SOMETHING LIKE A 90% TAX CUT.
IN ADDITION FOR HEDGE FUND OWNERS, HE IS GOING TO CUT
THEIR TAXES BY AS MUCH AS TWO THIRDS.
LET'S STOP RIGHT THERE.
IN A PREVIOUS STORY WE TALKED ABOUT HOW TRUM CONVINCED
CARRIER, WHICH IS A HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING COMPANY,
TO KEEP MAY BE AS MUCH AS 1000
JOBS HERE INSTEAD OF SENDING THOSE JOBS TO MEXICO.
ONE WAY THAT HE CONVINCED OF THEM IS THROUGH SUBSIDIZING,
FINANCIAL BENEFITS, BASICALLY USING TAXPAYER MONEY AND GIVING
THEM A FINANCIAL INCENTIVE TO STAY HERE IN THE UNITED STATES.
THAT IS PART OF HIS ECONOMIC POLICY.
HERE IS HOW YOU CAN CONVINCE THESE CORPORATIONS TO STAY HERE.
YOU GIVE THEM TAXPAYER MONEY.
HOW DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH TAXPAYER MONEY IN YOUR REVENUE IN
ORDER TO PAY ALL OF THESE CORPORATIONS MONEY TO
CONVINCE THEM TO STAY HERE.
YOUR CUTTING TAX REVENUE SIGNIFICANTLY, RIGHT?
AND THEN YOU TURN AROUND AND ALSO SAY THAT YOU ARE GOING
TO PAY THESE CORPORATIONS TAXPAYER MONEY IN THE FORM OF
SUBSIDIES TO KEEP JOBS HERE.
IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR ANYONE.
FOR CARRIER IT MAKES SENSE.
OF COURSE.
BUT AS CENK LOVES TO SAY, IF YOU AT LEAST HAVE TWO BRAIN CELLS
TO RUB TOGETHER YOU CAN TELL THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
I DON'T KNOW.
THAT IS THE CASE.
THE PROBLEM THAT WE HAVE HAD FOR A LONG TIME IN AMERICA AND THE
REASON WE HAVE OUTSOURCING IS THAT FOR A LOT OF COMPANIES
IT IS CHEAPER TO SET UP COMPANIES, OR FACTORIES AND
OTHER COUNTRIES WHERE THEY HAVE A LOWER STANDARD OF LIVING.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY THEM AS MUCH AND THEY DON'T HAVE
UNIONS, THEIR TAXES MIGHT BE LOWER.
WE ALWAYS FIGURED WE NEED TO FIND A WAY TO GET THEM TO
STAY HERE DESPITE THE FACT THAT AMERICAN WORKERS HAVE IT BETTER.
HE HAS FOUND AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION.
SIMPLY STUCK OVER THE AMERICAN WORKERS.
CUT DOWN THEIR MINIMUM WAGE, CUT DOWN THE
CORPORATE TAXES, MAKE AMERICA A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AGAIN, THEN
THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO ANYWHERE.
IT IS ALMOST JUST AS CHEAP TO PAY NOTHING TO YOUR WORKERS IN
AMERICA.
HEY, THEY ARE EMPLOYED RIGHT?
THE MOST RECENT VERSION IS ESTIMATED TO COST US ABOUT
$10 TRILLION OVER 10 YEARS.
THAT MONEY IS GOING TO HAVE TO COME FROM SOMEWHERE.
YOU CAN MAKE UP FOR A LOT OF THAT BY CUTTING THE MILITARY.
I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT HOW WE ARE GOING TO PAY THAT OFF
OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS.
DO YOU REMEMBER THE DEBATES WE HAD OVER FOOD STAMPS AND
HOW THEY WILL CUT $20 BILLION IN FOOD STAMPS.
WE HAD THIS HUGE FIGHT.
THAT IS A DROP IN THE BUCKET OF HOW MUCH MONEY WE ARE ABOUT
TO LOSE.
IMAGINE HOW MANY FOODSTAMP SIZED PROGRESSIVE PRIORITIES YOU
NEED TO CUT TO MAKE UP FOR $10 TRILLION OVER 10 YEARS?
BY CUTTING THESE TAXES HE WILL BE ABLE TO DO WHAT GEORGE W.
BUSH DID FROM A CONSERVATIVE POINT OF VIEW BY SIMPLY
ELIMINATING THE MONEY, YOU THEN ILLUMINATE THE PROGRAMS.
WE KNOW FROM HARD EXPERIENCE IT IS DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO
STOP ADDITIONAL TAX CUTS FROM HAPPENING.
IT IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO EVER RAISE TAXES IS AGAIN
IN AMERICA.
SO WHEN TRUMP CUTS THEM, THOSE PROGRESSIVE PRIORITIES ARE
GONE FOR DECADES.
YOU WILL NOT SEE THOSE AGAIN, WHETHER IT IS FOOD STAMPS,
OR THE ENVIRONMENT, ALL OF THOSE PROGRAMS ARE GOING TO BE
CUT NOW.
THIS IS THE SHIT I WAS SAYING ALL YEAR.
IF YOU FUCK AROUND AND LET TRUMP BECOME PRESIDENT WE ARE
GOING TO FUCK OURSELVES.
WE ARE NOW SEEING THAT PLAN IN PLACE.
WHAT YOU FAIL TO REMEMBER SO QUICKLY IS EMAILS.
EMAILS.
THAT IS TRUE.
LET'S ALL TALK ABOUT EMAILS.
AS I HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE, THIS IS A RISKY STATEMENT TO
MAKE BECAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET HURT AS A RESULT
OF THIS ADMINISTRATION AND HIS SO-CALLED "ECONOMIC POLICIES."
IT COULD BE A TEACHABLE MOMENT FOR OUR ELECTORATE.
COULD BE A MOMENT WHERE WE FINALLY STOP ATTACKING THE
POWERLESS.
AND WE ADVOCATE FOR OURSELVES, WE EDUCATE OURSELVES
THROUGH THE UNLIMITED RESOURCES THAT WE HAVE ON THE INTERNET.
AND NOT JUST BELIEVE ANYTHING ANYONE TELLS US.
BELIEVE THE SIMPLE TALK THAT SOME BUSINESSMAN THAT HAS
GONE BANKRUPT SOMETIMES TRIES TO PEDDLE US.
WE NEED TO BE SMARTER VOTERS.
I WANT YOU TO VOTE BASED ON YOUR BEST INTEREST, BUT I WANT
YOU TO DO IN AN EDUCATED WAY.
THAT IS ALL I AM HOPING FOR.
EVEN IF THINGS BECOME DESTRUCTIVE OR THE ECONOMY
TANKS.
IN THE FUTURE, DON'T BELIEVE SHIT THAT YOU READ ON FACEBOOK.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE AN INFORMED VOTER AND DON'T BELIEVE THE
HYPE.
WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
YOU HAVE TO ELIMINATE FEAR AND HATE AND START THINKING
ABOUT ACTUAL THINGS BECAUSE FEAR AND HATE CLOUDS JUDGMENT.
I AM AFRAID OF THOSE POOR PEOPLE THAT RELY ON FOOD STAMPS.
FUCKING THOSE KIDS.
THEY ARE THE REAL PROBLEM.
WE ARE MADE TO BE OVERWHELMED BY EMOTION.
IF THERE IS A TIGER IN THE BRUSH, I DON'T CARE ABOUT
TAX RATES, I CARE ABOUT THE TIGER.
IF THERE IS A BLACK OR HISPANIC PERSON IN THE BUSH, I
EQUALLY NOT CONCERNED WITH TAX RATES, THEY ARE SCARY.
THAT IS NOT THE ONLY EXPLANATION FOR WHY TRUMP WON, BUT IT
IS AN EXPLANATION.
