The Interview FOX Refused to Air

[notquiteright]

Who the hell is Rutger Bregman and why does what he say mean squat? "importance of higher taxes on the rich"? He's one of those crackpots, eh? Tax ourselves to prosperity types?

Oh he probably believes letting the rich rig the game to become even richer without working for it isn't what America should stand for. Building a feudal class in our Republic shouldn't be seen as prosperity.... eace

America stands for the right to success based on one's skills, talents, determination and persistence. There is no feudal class, that's just more idiotic prog poop. There is no "rigged game" - businesses produce goods and services; if the people find them attractive they buy, if not the business fails. If the business is well managed, by those rich, it grows and those with a stake gain wealth. If it collapses, guess who loses?

Oh how nice, a sanitized for our protection version of how the rich rig the game.... :roll:

From nonsense like 'trickle down' to 'job creators' the rich rig the game to their benefit- from tax law (which allows the rich to call wages capital gains if declared an end of year bonus- which is why the rich got their 'bonuses' even as the stock market collapsed) to a convoluted system of tax breaks, loopholes and write-offs that allow major corporations to dodge all but a tiny amount of the tax they could have been liable for if not for a small army of lobbyists to keep Congress from re-writing tax law.

After watching the Kushner/Trumps make a farce out of well managed it takes a pretty naïve citizen to think it is just a matter of hard work on a good idea to succeed. For more and more in the upper class it is more a matter of who you are born to than what ideas you have. After seeing the college bribe scandal it takes a rather low IQ to think it is idiotic poop...

The rich get richer by rigging the game, true some can join the rich, but now we have generations of rich who never had to work hard for their wealth… eace

 

[bomberfox]

Bregman is a moron. Tucker invites him onto the show because they both attack economic elite and both are populists, but then Bregman attacks Tucker because he hosts a show on Fox. Meanwhile, guess who doesn't get any criticism as a result. Those same economic elite at Davos.

Tucker isnt anti elite. He is really just an opportunist, doubt Davos really care about Tucker as he uses the same red herring to steer focus away from class issues by focusing on dem foreigners.

 

[phattonez]

Because "dem foreigners" are used by elites to breakup any ethnic or cultural solidarity and strength among lower classes. Foreigners are to lower incomes Americans as scabs are to unions.

LOL, more classic Prog poop. Mixed with a large dose of jealous and class warfare. And, of course, the required "it's Trump's fault because . . . ". Well done, your prog masters will be proud of how well you've adapted to your programing.

:lamo typical right wing populism. those foreigners are actually only able to be used by elites because of their illegal status. They dont give a **** about white solidarity or silly crap like that.

Oh they don't? Then why do they come down so hard on the alt-right, or any populist conservative movement for that matter?

You do know in leftist thought the class warfare doesnt even need to be encouraged right?...

 

[bomberfox]

Because everyone hates you now and tire of alt-reich terrorism. Back in those “good ol days” the rich were a-ok funding the reich and films like birth of a nation especially when the nazis were using similar tactics. Many companies were happy to fund racism and people who slaughtered unionists while spouting the same empty headed rage at dem foreigners as Tucker.

Who the hell is Rutger Bregman and why does what he say mean squat? "importance of higher taxes on the rich"? He's one of those crackpots, eh? Tax ourselves to prosperity types?

Rutger Bregman is a Dutch popular historian and author. He has published four books on history, philosophy and economics, including Utopia for Realists: How We Can Build the Ideal World, which has been translated into twenty languages.

Evidently, Tucker Carlson thought you people that watch Fox would enjoy watching this segment because Tucker is so smug that he thought he would steamroller over this guy and all he did was lose his **** and resorted to swearing and calling the guy ugly juvenile names.

So basically a fiction/fantasy author. Thanks.

"You people"? Can you be any more smug and self-important?

Tucker didn't have him on there to argue with him. He brought him on because he sympathized with what he did at Davos. Watch the video.

:lamo i’d love to see you try to debate him then.

Maybe you consider history as' fiction' but generally history is something that has a factual basis. Can you be any more defensive?

 

[phattonez]

:lamo i’d love to see you try to debate him then.

I'd like to see him talk about economic issues with Tucker instead of just jumping all over him when he's not even attacked.

 

[HumblePi]

I watched the second video and all I heard was Carson losing his **** and cursing and name calling.

 

[phattonez]

Because he got aggravated that Bregman tried to hijack the interview and attack him for no reason.

 

[Bullseye]

The titles of those two books you cited don't sound like history texts more like fantasy and fiction.

 

[bomberfox]

Tucker didn't have him on there to argue with him. He brought him on because he sympathized with what he did at Davos. Watch the video.

He just thought some of that credibility would wash over him. Then when Bregman tells Carlson he actually isnt for the people, working for a network funded by billionaires and owned by a filthy rich guy who loves being the propaganda arm of the republican party. Tucker gets reall pissed when he can no longer hold that smug look.

Because it was stupid! Tucker brought him on to criticize the elites, and Bregman instead criticizes Tucker. Like I said, Bregman did an incredibly stupid thing because he got the attention off of those elites.

 

[bomberfox]

I'd like to see him talk about economic issues with Tucker instead of just jumping all over him when he's not even attacked.

Tucker deserved it. The flagrant hate he promotes removes any expectation he can have for civility. He did not remove the attention from Davos, only mentioned Tucker is part of the problem.

 

[Bullseye]

Again the books cited aren't HISTORY, there utopian fantasies; "here's all we gotta do to create Utopia". Utopia is a fictional creation by the way.

Cracks are showing in the carefully crafted identity fox news created.

 

[HumblePi]

Um, yes I know what 'Utopia' is. Just because he used the word, which means among other things an 'ideal place', doesn't mean he's written a book of fiction. "Utopia for Realists", takes the position that rather than focusing on corporate do-goodery, the rich should simply pay more tax. Of course that's something that no republican wants to hear, especially a millionaire like Tucker Carlson.
