Ross Perot 1992 - Balancing the Budget & Reforming Government

[@browsertab]

I don't think I've ever seen a political candidate lay out their plan in such a straight forward manner.

[@robreiken]

thejobloshow Well then you obviously didn't see political candidate Ron Paul who kicked ass to win the straw poles while the Mainstream lied about it all, or how about JFK. & because he layed out his plan in such a straight forward manner, he got a bullet to the head because of it. Also Ross Perot also layed out his plan & if he continued with his campaign, well then the government were going to kill his 2 daughters , that's why he got out. Government only allows corruption to the core sellout leaders , that's why honest candidates are not allowed in.

[@browsertab]

Liberty Never Sleeps Shut up. I'm supporting Trump but... please.

[@jmjaquinas7298]

Liberty Never Sleeps, seriously? He's far and away better than Clinton, but by no means is he straightforward, or even consistent. And he would never lay out a plan like this.

[@robreiken]

If you know nothing about Ross Perot then stop being lazy & start researching the matter. He opposed NAFTA & had plans much like Ron Paul although he is a Billionaire. Much of the truth to matter may still be here in cyberspace but is disappearing fast with agencies like snopes & infraguard being on the scene. That is unless you work for any of them cause truth is to become a thing of the past if they have their way.

I remember both sides considered him a joke. Its funny listening to him today. It's like listening to a prophet predicting the future.

He was not a politician, he was a Texas billionaire, he got fed up at the lies of government. he couldn't believe people were so ignorant, they didn't want to read. That's also why he did the charts instead of doing on screen graphics. he knew people don't read, so he skipped graphics and did a more personal discussion. he knows economics, he has more degrees than all the presidential candidates since. since Trump is a business man and not a politician so he's got my vote, we need a Non Politician in office that ignores political correctness and speaks bluntly and doesn't kiss everyone's ass.

Several things would happen: NAFTA would not be signed, the Glass-Steagall act would not be repealed, Americans would be able to vote directly on issues via the edemocracy, we would have single-payer healthcare, and the military would not be sent to invade sovereign nations for resources!

Now, 20 years later, other countries like China (Perot warned against NAFTA, constant wars, but both parties supported Nafta, so both parties are guilty of so many wicked and evil things) Trump has a very bad history that the majority of Americans don't care to expose, as well as the liberal Clinton, Obama supporters.

Perot was great because he gave specifics with charts and facts. More debates need that instead of the typical generalized rhetoric. For you more left slanted folks who dont want to listen to his specifics, did you not get his comment about trickle down economics and the disparity in wealth? That supports your ideals. Listen and pay attention to the whole thing. Businessmen are not all greed and hate like you believe.

[@stockjonebills]

DrStrangel0ve2 Yeah but the problem is that a lot of millennials and usually liberals just assume that all business people or companies have nothing but evil intentions which is a pretty juvenile position. Employment comes from employers and employers are business owners. Government should not be looked upon to be the world's employer. Taxing business especially small business to death is bad news for the economy. Perot would also agree with that, but he also understood the problem with laissez fair economics. At the same time he said we need to cut government spending. He does not fit perfectly in the Democrat or Republican mold and that's exactly what we need.

[@jwgmail]

+stockjonebills I am very liberal and I love Perot's ideas. I'm not trying to start a fight, but you should watch how you say things. In your statement "usually liberals just assume ... which is a pretty juvenile position." Is, by its own definition (generalization / assumption), a pretty juvenile position. If it's not clear, it's because you are generalizing and making assumptions about liberals. I believe liberals are very appreciative of small/mid sized business owners, which is why the rhetoric tends to use the world "corporations," which are shareholder owned legal entities. I would argue that the biggest problem today is the use of religion (by rich republicans) to get poor people to vote against their own self-interest. So many poor people vote on one or two fucking issues: abortion / gay rights. If people voted in their own (generally financial) self-interest, exclusive of those issues, the republican party would not have a chance.

[@stockjonebills]

You are right. Saying things like "usually liberals just assume" is being a bit biased. The reason I said that, is that from my experience, a lot of people these days that lean to the left tend to scrutinize anyone who is a CEO or a business person with the evil corporation connotation. Perot wasn't just a small business owner as you try and differentiate from a corporation. He was the owner and CEO of a very large corporation.

[@jwgmail]

+stockjonebills It's of course true (liberals). Corporations, like armies, like any group of people, do things that a single individual would never do (I don't remember which philosopher said that), but it's too simple to just say they're the reason for all the world's ills. I am pretty far left, and it annoys the hell out of me when I see leftist rhetoric that shows clearly that they haven't even tried to see the other perspective. We expect it from the Right and say "we're better than them" but are often just as ignorant, spouting the party's line. It just sucks because it's so hard to get ANY unbiased info. I wish we'd have put Perot in just to see what would have happened. The only one to say sacrifice now, reap later... of course that's too honest to get you elected. Why can't we reap without sowing? We're America dammit! : (

[@stockjonebills]

It began with the rigged election of George Washington and their federalist papers- once he grabbed control Washington set about using the military against people who didn't want to pay taxes. Read about The Whiskey Rebellion- it's eye opening.

This is one of the greatest political speeches of all time! A real inspiration for my upcoming video on my channel on what if Ross Perot had won.

We had our chance and missed it. He was the right man at the right time.

[@completesentences2125]

As a child of the 90’s, I remember seeing this man portrayed as a joke from network news to Nickelodeon. Now I can see why that was the narrative. He was spreading the truth of the agenda and he was a huge threat to the elite if he got people to listen.

[@Brian-li5up]

I was thinking this as well while watching the video. It was pure propaganda against him.

[@lilpirat3]

Beautiful speech. Love when he shits on trickle-down economics.

This is the president we needed. Had he run this year, he absolutely would have won. Literal genius and very level-headed

[@ericneering6357]

Everybody needs to share this with everybody. He was absolutely right back then and I wish we had somebody in 2024 that was running that had his nerve money to run and believed in his plan. I’m here in 2024 and he was absolutely right or fucked And I don’t look like it’s gonna get any better

[@Nun195]

He was not, his plan was more trickle down nonsense.

[@CeNTuRiOn33100]

Ross Perot had common sense and probably could have been a great potus, but unfortunately we have a two party system and if your not a part of that you have no real shot at becoming the president regardless of your ability, intelligence, talents.

[@Metusalem979]

A 2016-updated Perot of same age and health as in this video would win a Clinton-Perot-Trump three-way. This program is quite exactly what the US independent- and swing-voters are demanding right now. If Sanders somehow manages to topple Clinton I believe he will win the election over any GOP candidates, just owing to the sheer fact he's the sole candidate who vowes to rebuild the middle class.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

Actually, he would have won if he hasn't dropped out for 3 months and then came back. He got... 20% of the vote or something like that. I huge amount for 3rd party. People lost a lot of confidence when he dropped out. And I think there were some shenanigans involved in that.

[@SolveFixBuild]

So rational and logical. Never since have we seen anyone speak specifically, with numbers and charts. He was too real, too smart, too specific, too competent. Wish we had more like him. Where are you, 2024 rational candidate?

The national debt was $4 trillion at the time. Now it's $34.4 trillion. I can understand why some billionaires have underground bunkers built in remote regions.

[@AFreakingAxeCH]

A solid plan ngl. A Perot presidency could have been a good one, but let's be real, if he did win, he's problem would be two parties who will not answer to him, unless he leans in either of them. That or he rolls 100 in persuasion or has all the charisma perks from Fall Out New Vegas

[@noharakun]

I remember having a mock election when I was in elementary school and we had to go into a booth and use and old Apple II to vote for our candidate. We could choose from Clinton, Dole and Perot. Even then, as an adolescent I knew that Perot was the right choice.

[@QuietlyCurious]

Omg me too. The tv channel Nickelodeon had a 'kids vote' mock election where u could call in and I also voted Perot. Children can tell honesty and goodness directly.

[@scottsummersreloaded4618]

I was a very young kid when all this was happening but im trying to figure out after listening to this HOW THE HELL DID EVERYONE NOT VOTE FOR HIM? They had to be really stupid. They were already starting to feel the financial pinch then I know so how the hell did they not vote for him? Its mind boggling and actually pretty infuriating!

My school did as well. Should have seen the looks on our teachers' faces when it was announced Parot won the election.

Being 20 years old engineering student at FSU in Tallahassee in 1992 . Just because I loved this engineer mans ideas. Even though I am a foreigner, I volunteered for his campaign full heartedly. Because I believed he was not only the best for USA, also would be the best for the World. If he was elected most of todays world problems would not exist.

[@gnnascarfan2410]

I respectfully disagree with your last sentence but had he been elected he would have slowed the problems down enough for most Americans to finally wake up to the 2 party 1 establishment system.
