Robert Reich: The Resistance Report 10/16/2017

[@mr.particular2062]

Thanks Robert Reich!!!!

[@Quasar502]

Much wisdom here. Keep em comin.

[@angelabluebird609]

Hoping everyone is telling absolutely everyone...Robert and Bernie are speaking clearly: It takes each of us doing our part and asking our friends and families to do the same. Restoring and safeguarding our govt. of, for and by the People requires that We the People show up! I believe we will.

[@kellerrobert80]

This so-called resistance effort is going no where. Didn't the big money Democrats lose a recent reprentatve race in Georgia? Your echo chamber's not helping y'all.

[@DennisMoore664]

Well, that was funky little intro song. Groovy!

[@katherinerivera1280]

THANK YOU Robert

[@mereb29]

Thank you so much, Mr. Reich. I always learn so much from your dedicated research on current events.

[@RAnthony80]

Household income went up $6000 the first year of the tax cuts. Reich has never been right on anything.

[@kevincox6151]

Thank you for trying to present the facts closed minded people are unwilling to see!

[@dddunlap86]

Thank you for making this. Please keep them coming 😊

[@RAnthony80]

always good for a good laugh. But he turned out to be so wrong. It didn't go up $4000, It went up $6000. 150% increase over what was predicted for the average household. That is in the first year of the tax cuts.

[@jizzosh1233]

Professor I can tell you have some artistic training and skill.

[@forrestculver7301]

Let's see a show of hands. Who agrees Mr. Reich is the smartest man alive. Incredible work. Thank you for helping us to stay informed.

[@RAnthony80]

He was wrong. Household income jumped $6000 not the $4000 predicted in the first year of the tax cuts.

[@RAnthony80]

Tax revenue shot up to historic highs after the tax cuts.

[@lindasmith9273]

Thanks

What middle class?

[@yttean98]

I am from down under, the American political system used to be the envy of the world and it had worked wonderfully over the last 200 years and over the last 8-10 years it stopped working effectively(e.g. money politics, the quality of political leaders, etc) and in fact it becomes detrimental to the whole country, unless both parties recognise this there will no real economic reforms for the American people i.e the middle class and subsequently help to recover the American economy, etc. Is there light at the end of the tunnel so far no.... Is the American political system reached its life-span, maybe, one thing for sure of no political system is infallible and this system is no exception. American influence in the world will wane from now on and in future... I watch your videos from time to time and I find them very interesting and the best of all the facts are very revealing.

[@PoliticalEconomy101]

LOL dude you are seriously on drugs. The American political system NEVER worked wonderfully. You should actually learn about US history.

[@freetrailer4poor]

1/2 of the 200 years we had no income taxes. Sales taxes were zero too. Now you have people living in cars here and in Australia because all the land is locked up by the counties. End the private ownership of land. Free equal land, free equal people.

[@jml-rj5re]

I have no problem with business tax rate cuts, especially for small and medium cap cos, but they must be made revenue neutral by reducing tax breaks/corporate welfare. This would increase business growth, while reducing impetus for K Street and their lobbyists. Earmarks were banned years ago. Prospects of De-Regulation, Citizens United and other impediments to campaign reform, and corporate welfare keep K Street in a robust state of greed.

[@johnvalk]

I’m glad political campagnes in my country, the Netherlands are not supported by big corporations, lobyists. I don’t agree with You the system of financially supporting canditates for presidency can’t be changed. One can suppose restrictions by law. Other thing, I heard senator Cruz in a discussion with Bernie Sanders blaming also the Obama administration for the growing gap between the rich 10 % and the rest of the American population in the existing tax regulation.

[@djrychlak4443]

Professor, did you ever work for School House Rock as an artist...back in the 70s?

[@NW-sm8xq]

Use the orange marker on his face next time

[@n2meows]

Real tax reform must begin with (1) elimination of the tax break for long term capital gains and dividends, (2) creating a new top tax bracket of 44% for net income above $1.2 M, and cutting the corporate tax rate to 32%. Use the additional income this will generate to increase bottom three income tax brackets so that it is revenue neutral.

[@jackieroberts1489]

We do not have to have Pence . Anyone remember President Agnew ? No , thats because there wasn`t one

[@iloveyoumadhuri]

I like Robert Reich. Based on his strengths and ability to land academic and government positions, he's one of few that people can apply the word "smart" to. Frankly, he's a favorite among the Bernie crowd and shares many of Bernie's and the Bernie Millennial fan views, but the fact that he's pro-Mike Pence & anti-Donald Trump for the presidency shows that he's willing to not be a purist Liberal sheep. Purist or extreme Liberals think Pence is worse than Trump while I don't necessarily agree with Reich's reasons for why Pence is better than Trump. My belief is that you have to expect the worst with both because since Bush left office, how are the Republicans better at helping the masses versus the Democrats? They're not. The bills passed and donations prove it.

[@patriciachenery8582]

Mr. Reich, Trump is now interviewing people for Attorney General Jobs (in NY Florida and Washington DC) Will this effect Muellers investigation?

[@camrobinson854]

When are these people gonna get out ot their basements and get some fresh air

[@fredericklucies8440]

I've been trying to submit a question for months - can anybody help me????

[@mlr4524]

I think you have to do it on his Facebook page as he also broadcasts via Facebook Live before the video is put on youtube. facebook.com/pg/RBReich/videos/?ref=page_internal

[@fredericklucies8440]

Thank you very much. I am a part of a small minority that will NOT use FaceBook - never..... To my mind, if this is the only way, it is patently discriminatory.

[@elviejodelmar2795]

From the trumpista's playbook...Why reinvent the wheel when you can follow a successful model? "By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise." Adolf Hitler

[@WarNoob755]

Trump didn't and doesn't have propaganda.

[@vickypaulson9264]

That's a joke. I'm not buying it. The company president will get a raise! Not any of us.

[@GoldTradersNiche]

if this was important then the 80 million americans who did not vote, would have voted......americans deserved whatever they get.......

[@joyceyagoda4207]

When will the lie be found out?

[@DanielField2023]

Ask the 1%

[@louisetanner9679]

I WANT HIM IMPEACHED....NOW HOW CAN WE GET IT STARTED

[@RAnthony80]

from 2018 to 2019 household income went up $6000. You have never been right on anything.

[@joearnold6881]

Weirdest ASMR video I’ve seen in hours

[@robininaus]

Robert, how was the stock market doing during the George W Bush years leading up to the global financial crisis?

[@freetrailer4poor]

Stock market collapsed in 2008-2009 due to effects of the real estate bubble. Most of the real estate bubble was due to lax lending requirements imposed by liberal trash. The same liberal trash that are laxing lending standards today.

[@robininaus]

pirucreek I mean leading up to the GFC- We were all suffering and global elites were making out like bandits, the stock market looked fine. Then guys lie Menuchin stole money from poor people because banks were insured and bailed out! You did not see the driver to my question!

[@robininaus]

Ashamed US Eagle I was not trying to give Trump any points, believe me! I was trying to point out that, under Bush deregulation and tax cuts gave global elites a sense of entitlement and greed that caused the working class to suffer, that we were starving and suffering BEFORE the stock market crashed! Even if Trump can take credit for holding out advantage to corporate interests and the stock market is sky rocketing, he is stirring a stew that could lead to world-wide depression if he destabilizes the world economy, further hopelessness and helplessness if he cuts out vital safety-net that allowed workers to have basic services like CHIPS program and I heard giving tax cut to the wealthy may even cause a boomerang effect in the market!

[@freetrailer4poor]

robininaus, here is the stockmarket crash and housing crash explained. Read and listen to it 10 times, because it is a normal cycle that is caused by land and debt every 18 years. www.henrygeorge.org/pchp22.htm . Bernanke, did make a breakthru, he figured a way to keep the same system and prevent depressions (by providing liquidation to banks). But the entire system is corrupt and protects banks from losses at the expense of EE (Everyone else). Bankers know this that is why they write in automatic bonuses. Kasich collected a million bonus from Lehman Brothers I believe as it was going bankrupt.

[@danielbeard9567]

pirucreek "Bernanke, did make a breakthru, he figured a way to keep the same system and prevent depressions (by providing liquidation to banks)" He provided liquidation to the banks because these commercial banks own the Federal Reserve, which is governed by the corrupt bankers on Wall Street. "prevent depressions" Tell that to the people that lost their jobs, cars, property. It is not a normal cycle, unless you call fiat money normal.

[@colossalko]

I love this but the screech of that marker is unbearable

[@Stevon987]

Love the content. I'm doubling down on the Garb. This silly clothing will lose votes. To all Dem politicians !! Please wear big boy clothes and lose the silly Bedazzled cowboy hats. I am embarrassed for you. I don't sell cloths.

[@katherinerivera1280]

What a joke

[@markgigiel2722]

Maybe just talk. Why all the sketches? You are wise and informative, but I feel like it's kindergarten.

[@ruthcassidy6052]

Because he's a teacher. Teachers use visual aids. It helps those of us who learn better by reading than by listening.

[@Stevon987]

Please wear adult clothing here. I like your show, the content is good. But in real life Ive never seen a man wearing a T and teaching something. Otherwise a rather good show. I have voted R and D.

[@ruthcassidy6052]

He's a liberal in California, highly intelligent and an amazing teacher. Who (besides you) gives a damn what he wears? - listen to the lesson! (And clearly you've never taken classes at a California college/university.)
