Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) on his weekly Daily Rant segment on the Dylan Ratigan show explains how social security cuts are a scam and that the program is actually in great shape overall. Dylan Ratigan jumps in to talk about bought politicians and the robbery of the middle class.

1. Proud to be K &R Number Five.
Rattigan and Cenk are among the few Talking Heads who deal with middle class issues, and deal with them as though they themselves are part of that class.

2. K&R - I liked what Ratigan said...
about the problem in this country not being lack of civility, but lack of courage. Amen.

And that the politicians do what they do in order to keep their jobs, naturally. In other words, it isn't one person's fault or one group's fault. The system is broken and none of the leaders will acknowledge that, naturally.

8. They think, if they keep repeating, that because of deficit
problem they need to rob us our social security, and that we will let them? They must think we are dumber than a bag of hammers...

10. 100% correct. The current election system and electronic voting machines must go
Thanx, Cenk and Dylan. We, the people, who are the majority, run this country. It's time to let OUR CIVIL SERVANTS know about it. You know...the ones with the excellent health care and retirement packages WE pay for. It's time to fight back, people. Let them hear you. And veterans, this includes you!

11. It is time to hold "constitutional conventions"
Edited on Sat Feb-12-11 08:12 AM by dotymed
at scattered locations across America, by middle class leaders. Agree on the things that 95% of America need and deserve. Then have a peaceful revolution until these issues (demands) are met....

13. Cenk & Ratigan Nail It!
"Its time for a serious conversation in this country,
and I don't see anyone in the Leadership of either Party willing to do it!"
---Ratigan


"There are forces within the Democratic Party who want us to sound like kinder, gentler Republicans.
I want us to compete for that great mass of voters that want a party that will stand up for working Americans, family farmers, and people who haven't felt the benefits of the economic upturn."
---Paul Wellstone



"By their works you will know them."

14. That's It. Crystal Clear Explanation.
Concise. To The Point.

It's The Ronald Reagan Fraud.

And It's Been Going On For 30 Years.

America's Own 'Mubarak' Ruler$ Robbed The People For All These Years.

Oh, And 'They' Torture Also...

How Revealing.

Same Bunch.

16. I love both these guys
And I'm truly happy that Cenk's gotten a desk at MSNBC. But I sure wish they'd put Ratigan in Keith's old time slot. I love O'Donnell, but I love Ratigan's firey enthusiasm even more.
