Talk:A Public Announcement for Congress

I'll have a go at transcribing this nonsense... Dkaien 22:09, 18 October 2010 (PDT)

That "You take the Good, you take the bad" crap is from Family Guy. I'm linking it to the Family Guy page. --Colonelslime 23:22, 18 October 2010 (PDT)

It's interesting how he switches scale through the talk. Not that anyone who pays attention to Chris would expect coherent thought. He starts off with "Presidential Candidate" and how he can improve the nation. He then scales down to a city level with the police departments before sharing his policies on interplanetary invasion before finally explaining how he'll police the internet, essentially the communication network of the world at large. In fine Chris fashion, he is candidate for Supreme Leader.Mupkids 06:06, 19 October 2010 (PDT)

The summary is way to long. We don't need all that, I think Chris's failure speaks for itself. It is not necessary to explain point by point why the video is stupid.--Švek 10:15, 19 October 2010 (PDT)

Notice

2.5% is half of 5%. Taxes aren't being cut by "a small fraction", they're being slashed in twain. In economic terms, that's effectively halving the government's income (I know they get money from other sources, but 5% of GDP is their largest contributor), which would destroy, among other things, the military, education, and scientific research in the US. Not a small thing at all. Freecell 03:52, 19 October 2010 (PDT)

• Fuck, another victim of bad vision. I reread it and thought I got it right. Still, I think the point can be driven home more. Freecell 03:54, 19 October 2010 (PDT)
• It gets even better when you think about it a bit. I was wondering if I should put something in the article about this, actually, but there's already enough explanatory bullshit in the opening that I wasn't sure (I welcome suggestions, of course). But anyway, Chris isn't talking about income tax there, he's talking about sales tax. State sales tax in Virginia right now is, you guessed it, five percent. He knows so little about how the government funds itself that he isn't even aware of the existence of income tax. Dkaien 03:12, 20 October 2010 (PDT)

There's only one reason why Chris made this video

Obama has frozen Social Security checks until 2012, and many politicians are campaigning to cut SSA funding instead of raising taxes. There are far too many news links to sift through, so you can sift through them yourself. --Uhh… this is Riley Martin. ^{O-Qua Tangin Wann} 09:33, 19 October 2010 (PDT)

• lol no. Chris is about as aware of how SS works as a chimp knows why food keeps being left in his cage at the zoo in the morning. CrassCrab 09:38, 19 October 2010 (PDT)
  • He may not know how his tugboat is funded, but he knows that less money for SS = less money for vidya. --Uhh… this is Riley Martin. ^{O-Qua Tangin Wann} 10:02, 19 October 2010 (PDT)

Should it be noted that Chris' plan to give all guns to the police is basically what Hitler and Stalin did?

• This is Chris Chan we're talking about. Just look at his precious CWCville. If for some ungodly reason, Chris did wield political power on a small nation, he would rule as if he were an unholy amalgamation of King George III of England and Idi Amin. Part insane, part bloodthirsty, all tyrant. - user:Jerkop421 20-10-10.
• Also, allowing guns but no bullets is just inviting people to make their own bullets. Guns are expensive, bullets are cheap. Either that or expect a dramatic rise in crossbow-related crime. That and a combination of halving taxes and funneling practically everything else into "soup hotels" and tugboat money would, of course, leave the United States roont entirely.
