Senator Bernie Sanders has done a wonderful job, for years. Sen. Whitehouse is admirable, but let's not forget what Bernie has been advocating for 50 years at least.
I'm sorry but I know who are the ones that's robbing the people. The Republicans have always been for the benefit of the rich. Senator whitehouse nailed it 100%
@@michelez715 agreed, but Bernie can’t do it alone, and the more Dems that speak out on this and expose the corruption that the GOP continues to perpetuate, the better it will be for all of us.
You're not even from my state. Sure do appreciate what you're trying to do for the American workers and the poor. Hope you can get this system changed and allow the WEALTHY to at LEAST pay their FAIR SHARE! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
How fortunate we are to have Senator Whitehouse paying close attention to the Budget Committee hearings. Thank you for your brilliance and hard work. Leigh Martin
@@michelez715 Yes, Bernie has always been champion for the common man, but not electable as a 3rd party candidate. Bless his heart. In fact, he divides the Dem votes, which resulted in tRump's corrupt reign of incompetent leadership in the wrong direction.
As a tax preparer I have been waiting for an honest discussion of the tax system in this country. The capital gain rates, carried interest, off shoring, corporate tax, inheritance tax and step up basis. So much BS that takes care of the rich and the average taxpayer has no understanding of the system. We should be able to eliminate 90% of the tax code and simplify it to cover all people and all income when received. You give me hope. I would love to see more messsging on this from the Dems.
I hear you. But, eliminating 90% of the tax code isn't the answer. It would only allow more loopholes. MORE regulations are necessary to stop billionaires from disguising their profits and hiding them in tax havens. That's EXACTLY what President Biden's policies were created to accomplish.
@@TheOleHermit A single strategy does not solve a complex problem. It requires a multifaceted solution of simplification, regulation and, span of contributions.
Judith, I am proud to call Sheldon Whitehouse my senator. If only other senators would follow his lead, we'd all be better off. We know that won't happen because most GOP senators are bought and sold by the wealthy. Procede straight to hell, you rat bastards!!
I want to add a fine point. It’s not just the trump administration but the whole Republican Party that has played this game for centuries. Those lopsided tax laws didn’t come overnight. And yes, thanks for the Senator to call it out.
Can we get this on primetime news please?!?! Too many people have no idea about these facts. Thank YOU Senator Whitehouse. You are an MVP in the Senate.
I hope you realize how important you are to the people of this country. We have a small minority of voices that actually work for us, the people in power. Please keep up the great work you do and bless you . ❤
Thank you for your using your intelligence, wisdom, and character to present this information in such a calm and professional manner. I truly believe that if all of our politicians were like you, our country would be better for all.
@@richardholguin2564 You got it, that and his "Trickle Down Theory" that was skimmed off the top by their cream of the crop before it ever reaches the average person. Later the "Citizens United" decision by the Supreme Court, then full corruption of it by magats and 45... closing... "The Art Of The Deal" (Steal). That's why we are where we are today and " That's All Folks !!! " 🐖
Thank you, Sen. Whitehouse, for your persistence and never giving up on educating the electorate and holding power to account, so that our government can/will be one for all people.
They are so rich they would spend millions on lobbying and tax experts to not pay billions in taxes. It has to change, or capitalism will fail. The other problem is the inflation is being caused by corporations gouging the consumers and something needs to be done about that or again capitalism will fail.
Capitalism has already failed. Few seem to be aware that financial assets, so-called investments, are five times the sum total of our GDP. Furthermore, these "investments" grow at a rate three times faster than GDP. In 2021 alone, the rate of return on financial assets grew to over 66% of GDP, a feat that is impossible except as some kind of sick experiment. This situation in turn is responsible for the choking inflation we are all suffering under. Capitalism failed over two decades ago, what we have now is a fanatical defense of profit in order to keep the financial asset bubble inflated, nothing more and certainly nothing noble.
@coolmodelguy REALLY GOOD summary!!!! I'd like to add - if "capitalism" was working, taxpayers' funds would NOT be raided by billionaires seeking cash injections every ten or so years. The pure idea of a free market means poorly run companies, with greedy, bat-shit-crazy leadership, should sink like a stone.
@@coolmodelguy6304 Your assessment is misplaced. The core problem is 3 pronged; 1) a failure to keep dark money and lobbyist's out of the system, 2) which funds political campaigns resulting in policy-maker corruption 3) played out by failing to execute regulations or rendering them toothless via new laws. In any/all social structures, absolutely nothing works w/o the rules that combat corruption. Beware the "Rule Breakers".
Capitalism should fail. It is a system meant to fatten the pockets of the morally deficient on the backs of the millions that do the work, keeping people alive and the world running. In general, humanity is sh*t. Anytime you make something, ANYTHING, for-profit the honest and hard-working will be screwed by the greedy, self-centered rich and elite. Look at our school system, healthcare, housing, and everything else. Millions can starve to death or die from easily curable ailments so long as the filthy rich can take more of our money to fill those gaping holes where their kindness and morals should be.
Thanking Senator Whitehouse here is one thing but what about contacting your own Senator or U.S. representative? I hope all of us watching this contact our representatives!
Senator Whitehouse has to be one of the hardest working Senators on behalf of the people that I've seen. There is a handful thank goodness! Shout out to RI, VT and CA voters.
Ask your hero to please DISCLOSE just how much DARK MONEY his filthy Daddy Charles Whitehouse (Skull & Bones & C.I.A) along with G H W Bush (Skull & Bones & C.I.A) made stuffing our beloved deceased Vietnam Vets bodies with HEROIN to bring it back into the US. Ask SKULL & BONES Sheldon the SCUM to please DICLOSE, did they get their DARK MONEY by the body of our Vets, or by the Pounds of HEROIN they stuffed into each body
How can anyone with a social conscience not be appalled by this? It's outrageous in any country, but shameful in the country that's supposed to be not only the wealthiest in the world, but its leading democracy. Bernie Sanders has made this point over and over again, saying how 3% of the country has more money than the rest combined, and yet these wealthy corporations fight tooth and nail against unionization, paying a living wage to their workers and paying their fair share of taxes. I hope that Sen. Whitehouse will be more successful than Bernie. He certainly has made a great start.
