Millionaire Donor Threatens Democrats

6 жыл бұрынStephen Cloobeck has become a walking billboard for campaign finance reform. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below. Join TYT: goo.gl/v8E64M
"“Good question,” Las Vegas businessman Stephen Cloobeck said on MSNBC when asked why Democrats have had so few election successes against an increasingly right-leaning GOP.
“A sad state for us," he continued.
“Hopefully, we’ll get our sh-- together."
Cloobeck, who donated $1 million last year to Hillary Clinton's allied super PAC, Priorities USA Action, told MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle that he'll cut off funds to the party if it moves too far to the left on economic issues following President Trump's win last year.
“I can tell you if we go far left, I’m out,” Cloobeck said. “I’m out. We need middle ground.”
"It drives me nuts. So much so it would make me quit the party," he added. "And I’ve made it very clear; I’ll cut your money off. And others will do the same. We’ve had enough. We need a new brand.””*

this is why there should be laws as to millionaires/billionaires not being able to give any politician hundreds of thousands of dollars to a single political candidate or multiple political candidates/ currentpoliticians. they shouldnt be allowed to give more than 4 figures a year to a single person, and corporations shouldnt be allowed to donate at all to political parties.

rouge1ful Indeed! Here's a guy who founded a company that charges to help people with grand vacations! I have not had one of those for 4 years, so I do not know this guy or his company, of course. Get involved with your local Wolf PAC. Wolf PAC focus is to repeal Citizen's United and get $$'s out of our extremely corrupt political system. I agree with you, rouge1ful, and support going even further to end the cozy crap that our politicians have become oh so comfy with over the years. Lobbyists should disband as well, and go away, either completely disappearing or only representing real human voters, not dollars to sway the votes. The single most harm that now controls our system in politics is the money influence that feeds the great greed and does nothing to serve the people. Peace.

The last 17 years of supply-side (“trickle-down”) economics have favored only the wealthy, while slowing the rate of income growth for the average American family. As inflation continues, wages have failed to keep up under this policy. Congress, (not to mention Steve Mnuchin and the rest of the 1% running the country) are completely aware of this yet refuse to increase the minimum wage to a livable wage nor consider the more effective economic policies that Robert Reich implemented in the 1990’s during the Clinton era. These people are pissing on your legs and telling you it’s raining, and yet people support it for the sake of anti-liberal views. Sad.

Income tax is fundamentally flawed as it doesn't actually tax the billionaire's wealth. Billionaires don't get their money from wages. They gain wealth through asset price appreciation which increases exponentially over time from having total ownership of the means of production. People need to go back and look at the theories of Karl Marx. It is all about how the wealthy control the means of production. Rich Capitalists become wealthy and stay wealthy because they control the means of production and use it to exploit their workers for continuous gains. Capitalist wealth only increases over time because they rob their workers on a daily basis by controlling the means of production. They are modern day robber barons. You could set the income tax to 100% and billionaires would still be billionaires. When the Walton-Family inherited $200 billion from the Wal-Mart fortune they didn't pay a dime in income tax because it is NOT income. They oligarchy is playing us for fools. Income tax actually shifts the tax burden onto the working class. Wages are for poor people. When you tax wages it is really just taxing the poor. The billionaires are laughing at us. Here is the real solution. To reduce ECONOMIC inequality we need genuine wealth and asset redistribution. We need to go after their hedge funds and their stock portfolios. Tax corporations and tax estates so billionaires can't pass on their assets to their children. Go after their tax havens disguised as fake charities like the Gates foundation and the Rockefeller foundation which has been around for 100+ years and never helped anyone. That money needs to be clawed back and returned to the people who they stole from via rigging the economic system in their favor by controlling the means of production.

You guys missed who this guy is. Stephen Cloobeck isn't going to stop giving money as long as money buys influence. This guy made $100,000 _selling timeshare,_ maybe the most despised industry in the country. If the pendulum swings back towards regulation and consumer protection, guys like Cloobeck quit being able to con people. This guy when you hear him talk gives off that used car salesman, I-just-stepped-a-snake, skin-crawling feeling. It's because he's a snake. Diamond Resorts is a timeshare company, more proof that people with a 100 million dollars who arent' inventors or guitar players are most likely creeps. Taxes used to be 90% on people like Cloobeck.

You should start officially fake accounts and get the Supreme KZfaq Court to rule that they can give their views and likes to whoever you want, "because fake accounts are people, too". Then KZfaq should allow Super PACs (phoney account consolidation), a new type of account that allows you to easily manage the views and likes of all your fake accounts from one place. Then you could give TYT videos a million views and likes, of course under the condition that they report what you want them to. That would be fair, right? It's all just free speech, right?
