Billionaires Exist?
00:13:48
|
|
| So he recently said that billionaires shouldn't exist. | |
| What do you think about that? | |
| Yep. | |
| That's pretty unethical, right? | |
| Billionaires? | |
| Yeah, dude. | |
| Come on. | |
| Scrooge McDuck. | |
| Okay. | |
| So how should we get rid of them? | |
| Guillotine. | |
| Do you just want to steal from everybody else because you've made poor life choices? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Thanks for being honest, Torque Queen. | |
| That's very cute. | |
| Bernie Sanders is up to it again, of course. | |
| Earlier this week, he said, I don't think billionaires should exist. | |
| We're here in Orlando, Florida to ask people if they agree. | |
| And if they do, how the heck do we get rid of them? | |
| Please subscribe to Liberty Hangout. | |
| They're really chill. | |
| They're in a beautiful park. | |
| And they're going to be the biggest YouTube channel on YouTube. | |
| The biggest YouTube channel on YouTube, number one. | |
| So Bernie Sanders is running for president. | |
| Have you ever heard of him? | |
| No, never. | |
| Never heard of Bernie Sanders? | |
| You're not missing much. | |
| It's okay. | |
| You don't want to waste your time with it anyway. | |
| So he recently said that billionaires should not exist. | |
| What do you think? | |
| Billionaires should not exist. | |
| Without a billionaire, there's no technology. | |
| You need money. | |
| You need to get a lot of technology done in this world. | |
| So he should exist. | |
| He's always going to exist. | |
| He recently said that billionaires should not exist. | |
| What do you guys think? | |
| Oh, that's a difficult question. | |
| Should billionaires exist? | |
| Is it moral? | |
| Is it okay for them to have that much money? | |
| It's okay for them or for me too, yeah? | |
| But the gap between the billionaires and the how do you say the lower class? | |
| Yeah, it's too big. | |
| How do we fix it? | |
| We can fix it with raise up the taxes. | |
| The taxes for billionaires, yeah. | |
| Okay. | |
| Okay, so Bernie Sanders, he's running for president. | |
| I ain't getting into all that. | |
| Okay. | |
| Have fun on your bike. | |
| He came out and said that billionaires should not exist. | |
| They have too much money. | |
| They're hoarding the wealth in this country. | |
| Do you guys agree with him? | |
| I need to think. | |
| You can go to her. | |
| Kind of. | |
| I feel like they do have too much money and they should probably give some of their money out to help other people. | |
| But at the same time, if they worked for that position, they should keep it. | |
| It makes sense. | |
| There's going to be a lot of problems with that, but I think what he's doing is good. | |
| Like, it makes sense. | |
| It's just, we have to learn how to get over those problems and obstacles that will arise. | |
| I agree that the wealth should be distributed a little bit between everyone because if one person has too much of the pot, then they control a majority. | |
| Okay. | |
| What do you think? | |
| I agree with him. | |
| So he wants to tax them within the next 10 years so much that there is not a billionaire left, that they all have to scale back how much money they have. | |
| In total, within the next 10 years, he would take $4 trillion from the billionaires in America. | |
| Do you think that's kind of along the lines? | |
| I think it's a little bit more fair. | |
| I think taxes should just be proportional to their income and how much they have and scale it down for people who make less. | |
| Billionaires shouldn't exist, so we're going to tax the top 3% of 2% of the 52% that make up the great 3rd percent of the 99%. | |
| Thank you everybody for supporting my plan. | |
| He said that billionaires shouldn't exist. | |
| They have too much money. | |
| We need to tax them to the point that we're taking some of their wealth away from them and giving it to other people. | |
| Does that sound like a good idea? | |
| So I wouldn't say that billionaires shouldn't exist. | |
| But I think billionaires should get taxed higher. | |
| So he recently said that billionaires shouldn't exist. | |
| What do you think about that? | |
| Yeah. | |
| That's pretty unethical, right? | |
| Billionaires? | |
| Yeah, dude. | |
| Come on. | |
| Scrooge McDuck. | |
| So how should we get rid of them? | |
| Guillotine. | |
| Okay. | |
| And what is their crime that we should guillotine them? | |
| Um, pro all kinds of issues there, right? | |
| Poverty, sickness, you know. | |
| You think billionaires are to blame? | |
| Um, they're kind of kicking back, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Do you think taxation is fair? | |
| Yeah, think so. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Do you think stealing from someone else is fair? | |
| Not really. | |
| Oh. | |
| But you like taxation? | |
| Tax what? | |
| Taxation. | |
| You like taxes. | |
| Not really. | |
| Okay. | |
| But it's fair. | |
| Yeah, it's fair. | |
| Yes. | |
| Okay, all right. | |
| We'll get you one day. | |
| Bernie Sanders, he calls himself a democratic socialism. | |
| But again, I explained to the last Germans that it's actually communism and he wears this mask. | |
| No. | |
| No? | |
| I don't think it's communism. | |
| Oh! | |
| No. | |
| No. | |
| Uh-oh. | |
| What is democratic socialism? | |
| Democratic socialism. | |
| Because that's what Bernie calls himself. | |
| I just say let's call it communism and get it out of the way. | |
| So I'm not really sure about all of his projects and what is all of his politics. | |
| Yeah. | |
| But the word itself, I don't think is communism. | |
| He plans on taxing them 50% of their wealth so that in 10 years it brings in $4 trillion into the U.S. government. | |
| However, just one of his plans, Medicare for all, is $40 trillion. | |
| Do you think this is sustainable to attack billionaires and the wealthy when it won't even cover a portion of his costs for one program? | |
| No, probably not, man. | |
| We're just going to have to guillotine them. | |
| That's what we're going to have to do. | |
| So kill them, take their money. | |
| And then, yeah, everybody, we like fill this with gold coins, right? | |
| And then we swim in it all together. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Sounds pretty solid, right? | |
| I guess if that's what you're going for, all right. | |
| Well, hopefully you never become a billionaire because, you know. | |
| Yeah. | |
| No chance. | |
| No chance? | |
| No. | |
| Think that's maybe your life choices why you aren't a billionaire? | |
| That's it. | |
| That's it. | |
| Life choices, yeah. | |
| So you just want to steal from everybody else because you've made poor life choices? | |
| Yeah. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Thanks for being honest, Torque Queen. | |
| That's very cute. | |
| It's going to cost $40 trillion. | |
| So not million, not billion. | |
| Trillion. | |
| Trillion. | |
| $40 trillion. | |
| Okay. | |
| How do we get that money? | |
| How do Americans, how do they get that money? | |
| That's a lot of money. | |
| He recently said earlier this week that billionaires should not exist. | |
| What do you think? | |
| I don't know if I fully agree with that. | |
| Why not? | |
| I believe that the money that you make, you should keep it and earn it. | |
| Like, I do believe in, to an extent, a distribution of wealth, but I don't, I feel like if you worked really hard to be a billionaire, then you deserve to be a billionaire. | |
| I mean, if you earn your money, you've earned your money, either way. | |
| So if you've earned it legitimately or illegitimately, you've still earned your money somehow. | |
| Oh, kind of like Bernie Sanders. | |
| Do you think the government has earned their money not legitimately, like you said? | |
| 50-50. | |
| I don't want to piss anybody off, but I'm making somebody mad. | |
| You recently said earlier this week that billionaires should not exist. | |
| Do you agree with that? | |
| No, I don't agree. | |
| Why not? | |
| Just because they worked hard for what they have and they shouldn't be judged. | |
| This guy has some lottery tickets. | |
| There's a guy running for president named Bernie Sanders. | |
| Do you know who he is? | |
| Okay, so he said earlier in the week that billionaires should not exist. | |
| What do you think about that? | |
| Why shouldn't it exist? | |
| They should exist. | |
| They shouldn't? | |
| They should. | |
| They should. | |
| Right, because what if you want a billion dollars on those lottery tickets right now? | |
| You'd be okay. | |
| You'd be like, yeah, I deserve this money, right? | |
| Yeah. | |
| I can't really say anything because at the same time, that's what they worked for. | |
| So I don't, it's not on me to really have a say in that. | |
| You know? | |
| I don't think it should be fair because to see how you work for your money and then they say you don't exist, like they want you to exist. | |
| That's not fair because seeing how hard you work for your money, it doesn't really make sense. | |
| Does it worry you that someone who wants to be our president thinks that certain people based on their wealth should not exist? | |
| Okay, that's right. | |
| He wants to tax them so much. | |
| He said he wants to tax them. | |
| The government taxed them so much within the next 10 years that he takes $4 trillion collectively from the billionaires in America. | |
| face is like what I mean I imagine working hard for your money just having it taken away from that That's not fair. | |
| Like, it's not even though, like, I'm not all that, but like, still, like, for them, like, I put myself in their shoes at night. | |
| Like, that's not fair. | |
| Because it would be cool to be a billionaire. | |
| But, like, to see and to see, like, they're coming and just taking your money, like, more tax, that's not fair. | |
| Do you think that's a good idea? | |
| Should billionaires exist? | |
| I mean, our economy is built on people being consumers. | |
| I mean, I think that billionaires will always exist as long as people are selling. | |
| I mean, look at people like Steve Jobs' book. | |
| Well, C. Jobs obviously passed away. | |
| But Bill Gates and Steve, Jeff Bezos, they own billion-dollar companies because people are going to keep on buying things. | |
| What do you think about that? | |
| Do you agree? | |
| Well, I'm not sure. | |
| I guess the problem is not that there is billionaires. | |
| It's just that the difference between the poor people and the most wealthy people is just too much. | |
| So the problem is not that there is billionaires, it's just that the difference, that difference is too big. | |
| I don't like Bernie Sanders. | |
| Oh, you don't like Bernie Sanders? | |
| Not really. | |
| Okay. | |
| Why not? | |
| I don't know. | |
| Something about him seems sketchy. | |
| Like saying that billionaires shouldn't exist? | |
| Yeah, because I'm sure they worked hard for their money. | |
| Yeah, you think so, right? | |
| Oh, yeah, because everybody starts at the bottom and then they build themselves up. | |
| Yeah. | |
| What do you think? | |
| They gotta break. | |
| I think billionaires should exist. | |
| There's no should or should not, because I think everyone has every right the same way as should parent. | |
| This is like the dumbest like comparison, but like should we all have like two kids or one kid, you know? | |
| I think it's the same thing. | |
| Everyone has a choice in how much money they want to make in their life. | |
| I feel like everyone's free to do what they want. | |
| I think the issue or the key to fixing our economy is people start becoming more financially responsible and teaching financial responsibility in schools as well. | |
| I love it. | |
| Boy, I couldn't have given a better answer. | |
| I love it. | |
| You'll be a billionaire one day. | |
| Step one is eating pumpkin cake. | |
| Did you know that? | |
| Eating pumpkin cakes makes me rich. | |
| Yeah, so that's step one to being a billionaire. | |
| Step one is eating pumpkin cake. | |
| I guess so. | |
| i mean i'm not a billionaire yet i'm still just you're a step one You got to move on from there, but I know you will. | |
| Oh, thank you. | |
| You're welcome. | |
| All right. | |
| Well, good luck on those tickets. | |
| I hope you become a billionaire. | |
| Tell Bernie to leave you alone. | |
| So something that I do want to mention, a lot of the time Democrats and Bernie Sanders say that we need government intervention to help minority communities, immigrants, foreigners, that we need to be taxed to help them and they need the government's hand to help them prosper. | |
| Well, as we've seen today from all the clips you just saw, that's not the case. | |
| A lot of people of color that I've talked to today, a lot of foreigners that I've talked to today, have said you have the right to keep your money. | |
| You have the right to make as much money as you want. | |
| Because in their eyes, maybe Bernie Sanders needs to hear this. | |
| In their eyes, that's what they're aiming for. | |
| So if they were to ever grow and get up on the ladder of being a billionaire, millionaire, however much, they want to keep their money. | |
| But what prevents them from getting and climbing up that ladder? | |
| The government, Democrats. | |
| So maybe that's a lesson that Democrats need to take out of this today. | |
