GDP per capita per country in 2012:
U.S – $51,704
Norway – $54,397
Singapore – $60,799
Can – $42,000
Australia- $41, 954
Iceland – $39,718
Belg – $37, 459
U.K – $36, 569
Finland – $35,771
Germany – $38,666
Russia – $17,518
France – $35,295
Norway is the only country in Western Europe to surpass the U.S in GDP per
capita in 2012. Everyone else does not even come close and it is a shocking
embarrassment. So the next time you see a non-American call the U.S a
“third world country”, remind him that the average worker in his state
makes less than the average worker in the U.S. LMAO Europeans are
assholes.
He trashed the state, for sure. Left Sandusky go under his watch, cut
school funding, cut every social program he could, cut Medicaid and then
refused to expand Medicaid…. Took our state back 40 years within 4. It
will take forever to restore what he has undone.
He actually paid the fracking companies to rape our land, and then left
them ship the exploits over seas… while our propane prices went sky high
because there was not enough supply left for US to use! PSH…..
He made tort reforms, making it even harder to sue for reparations… the
laws were already heavily in favor of the corporations, and the medical
staff is already on board to screw over anybody with a valid claim against
insurance.
This state was a major corporate piece of crap before he got in office,
now it is 10 times worse yet. He misused the state police, on and on and
on…. not much different from NJ, they are just better at hiding it
here….we have more mini-me’s on the ground level supporting the
corruption, that is what helps hide it.
So many people are in to NOT rocking the boat here, that it seems to be a
competition with the people… who is best at taking it in the rear… Oh
it’s Timmy this month, he won!, he got fucked the most, and didn’t complain
one bit, even sent in donations to the republican campaigns…. YAY!
If someone votes GOP, Libertarian or Tea Party they aren’t paying
attention. Vote Democrat. And once they are the majority across the nation
we can start voting Green. Get every conservative, corporate loving
politician in the US booted out of DC. We need true liberal progressive
politicians that care about the People and not profits. Well, I can dream
at least.
Most westernised nations don’t even HAVE foodstamps, if you are poor, you
get a pension or unemployment benefits, and you can spend that money
however you need to. Only in AMERICA do they have food stamps, which were
created as an agricultural subsidy and a way to humiliate the poor.
Yet, Each year of his governorship he has increased funding for schools,
balanced a budget which Democract Ed Rendell blew open with 4 BILLION
Dollars of debt when Corbett came into office. he is the first governor is
about 100 years to pass a balanced budget (Let ALONE A BUDGET) on time. In
regards to these Subsidies Cenk is talking about, PLEASE LOOK THEM UP!
These are subsidies for companies to buy Local PA Machine Metals and buy
local equipment from the state in which they can write off some of the
expense come tax time. Which means they are buying equipment from US and PA
Made. Corbett has been easily middle of the road and has passed a
comprehensive road bill that has desperate been needed. Cenk I urge you to
actually look into what your talking about and stop trying to act like a
second rate John Stewart and to tell the truth!
There is natural gas in New York, which makes us all angry because we don’t
want fracking to destroy the watertable.
Personally i dislike conservatism. Keep adapting and changing is how we
survive, do not stick to the old stuff especially when they don’t work.
My parents who are pretty strong Republicans (though not afraid to cross
party lines) have emphatically said they will not vote for Corbett. The
first thing in office that Corbett did was to cut education funding. Real
popular move here.
If you all hate the rich getting a good showing from government, stop
voting for people with advertising campaigns. Those things do not buy
themselves.
There cutting food stamps,why?? governments are cutting benefits whilst the
bankers get paid their yearly bonuses.
bye corbett, you wont be missed. – PA
This video has an extensive discussion thread prompted by a two-sentence
comment I made on it – the discussion has a number of good contributions
from other folks, so I think it’s worth a look.
wow
I CARE about the poor, lol
Not looking good for the right. This is going to be the first of many.
Let’s go.
I want the foodstamp program to go away. Let welfare die out too.
Let’s see America in a violent revolution. It’s about time. The citizens
need to let it be known and make it starkly clear to the politicians that
they won’t accept this status quo.
Foodstamps, lol.
So you just discriminate poor people by giving them an extra currency so
that everybody in the super marked is aware in wich unlucky spot they are.
Most politicians can be compared to hookers. In their normal day to day
they are HIGH class call girls and only do the bidding of those that can
afford them. Come election time they turn into skanky old crack hos selling
their ass to any punter passing by.
I live in PA, it’s almot a forgone conclusion that Corbett won’t survive
the next vote. The most recent poll indicates 83 PERCENT of us will take
anybody but Corbett, lol. I’m surprised Corbett’s even TRYING to better his
image. It’s done, you know. I was concerned he’d be realistic enough to
have a sort of political bucket list. Get all his evil shit in before the
inevitable end, but look… False hope’s not always a bad thing. I’ve been
saying that for a while, now I have a good example.
The funny thing is by being ‘soft on poverty’ he’s probably going to lose
Republican votes! All the poor people need to do is stop being poor right?
Cenk = too much lipstick.
let me guess he figured out that you could sneak a pipline past the border
to extract into a state that doesn’t tax them for the gas, you know kinda
like what we did in iraq where we sucked the oil from ieaq then sent it to
storage bunkers in afghanistan to sell to the EU
Fuck Tom Corbett. I don’t even know how he got elected. He’s been one the
worse, if not the worse, governor we’ve ever had. He totally threw our
schools here in Philly under the bus and makes it plain that he doesn’t
give a crap about ANYONE in this state. Can’t wait to vote his ass out.
Side note, our so-called “liberal” Mayor Nutter is just as bad as Corbett.
I really don’t think one party or side or whatever is better than the
other. Dems, Repubs, Conservatives, Liberals; GTFO. They’re all
bullshitters.
Hate to break this sooooper sekret reason, but elections is the reason *all*
politicians make these decisions.
So Corbett is trying to pander to the poor by NOT taking food away from
them? Well, we’ve got a winner here, don’t we? /sarcasm
I’m in PA and I’m not voting him
I can’t believe I actually believed TYT for the longest when they said that
Obama just attacked Libya. When in actuality, United Nations Security
Council Resolution 1973, on the situation in Libya, is a measure that was
adopted on 17 March 2011. The Security Council resolution was proposed by
France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom Ten Security Council members voted
in the affirmative (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Gabon, Lebanon,
Nigeria, Portugal, South Africa, and permanent members France, the United
Kingdom, and the United States). United leagues of Arabs voted for it. Quit
blaming america for everything.
I am a Pennsylvanian, and I would vote for just about anyone else. Mr.
Corbett has been bad for Pennsylvania and we need to change things here.
Cenk: “tax breaks is giving them tax payer money”.
LOL. Let me add this to my list of stupid Cenk statements! In the leftists
world allowing people or anyone else to keep more of their money they refer
to as giving them tax payer money. This is why liberals always call any tax
cuts as being ONLY for the rich. Thus, if you get to keep more of your own
damn money to a liberal that means other people has given it to you! Of
course since the rich pays far more taxes than any other group when they
get an equal tax rate cut as anyone else then of course that equals more
money they are saving. It’s simpel math. But in the world of wealth
redistribution that money they get to keep doesn’t belong to them! LOL
This is the nutty mind of the liberal animal. Your money belongs
to government and government just “allows” you to keep some of it.
Somewhere in hell Karl Marx has a tear in his eye with pride over liberals
in Amerika.
Here in Texas we are flooded (and I mean flooded) every day with
commercials from New York state asking (begging) companies from Texas to
open up in NY with a promise of NO TAXES FOR 10 YEARS. Yes, liberals, your
liberal state of NY with a liberal governor and marxist NY City mayor is
promising companies that they will not have to pay taxes in NY for 10 years
if they open up a new business in NY state. Whatcha got to say about that?
(crickets)… Just what I thought.
Nearly half the country likes socialism and hates capitalism, and that
percentage is going up, especially as people turn 18 and old Cold War &
McCarthy brainwashed people die off.
WHAT?
So, Democrats don’t “take and take and take” from every American Cenk? Is
your D party hat clouding your vision?
unless he cheats and rigs the race. I think this election in America, is
going to see a lot of cheating…..from Republicans!
Tom Corbett is truly Sarah Palin’s DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY!
Palin PWNS this RINO ass-clown and she WILL EXPOSE his PUSSY for the whole
world to see! Palin will OUST this RINO OUT of Congress and fight for the
people!
I wouldn’t let starve people either, but that’s pretty much it.
How about making every year an election year?
Direct Democracy or bust!
uhhh….cenk, how do you get it from another state? It’s called directional
drilling into interconnected formations….
“Oh shit, people hate me! I’m going to have to actually do something for
them in order to fool them into thinking I’m on their side again. Man,
there’s no money in that shit. :/”
I don’t think most people in PA could tell you who the GOV’er even is. He
cut most of the programs. and has done not one thing.
For serious with the sound effects? Cenk, please stop trying to be funny.
You ARE funny, but funnier when you let it come naturally. I’ll admit your
brand of humor took a while to grow on me, but it has. Just… Don’t try so
hard.
Let me get this straight: Allowing people to keep more of their OWN money
is the equivalent of a subsidy.
“Multiculturalism” is a program that is FORCED upon EVERY & ONLY White
countries.
“Multiculturalism” is a program to turn EVERY White country into a
non-White country.
This IS geNOcide. WHITE geNOcide.
If you are White, and you object to your own geNOcide, you are called a
RACIST!
Well guess what, my people, White people, are catching on very quickly to
the following two things:
1 – Multiculturalism is a code for White geNOcide.
2 – Anti-racist is a code for anti-White.
Their is no such thing as a moderate republican. Don’t believe a word they
say.
