Transcript of Rush Limbaugh trying to enlighten college student

[Ravi]

"Instead of worrying about how other people are out to keep you down"

That's pretty funny since it is the sum total of Rush's each and every show.

 

[edthecynic]

But, but, but.. Isn't the national discussion about "income redistribution"? I can't say I've heard the term "wealth redistribution" except amongst radicals.

I'll say it again - THIS NEEDS CLARIFICATION.

Bullshit!
All you ever hear from CON$ is "redistribution of wealth" when they attack any social program. Where have you been since FDR?

But then again, there is no group more radical than the CON$, so even though the national debate is not about redistribution of income, you are at least half Right.

But, but, but.. Isn't the national discussion about "income redistribution"? I can't say I've heard the term "wealth redistribution" except amongst radicals.

Such silliness. My 15 y/o daughter just completed an essay for school with the title: "Why We Need To Redistribute Wealth In America"

I wonder where she ever heard of such a phrase. She must be a radical.

"Instead of worrying about how other people are out to keep you down"

That's pretty funny since it is the sum total of Rush's each and every show.

You listen?

I didn't think so.

I grow weary of the left's mantra of "if you don't agree with us, you shouldn't say anything". Rush doesn't try to keep anybody down. Exposing crooks, liars and thieves isn't "keeping down" anyone. Keeping down people means you try to change laws (or just ignore the law) in order to prevent them from speaking/writing/working. That's a specialty of leftists, not Rush. He points it out when they do it. So how is that keeping them down?

She heard it from her teachers, who are teaching socialism.
And it is radical. Do you know what radical means? It means it flies in the face of what the majority believes. The majority of people in this country do NOT believe in socialism.

RUSH: I hope all your Joe the Plumbers are unemployed in six months! There.

October 31, 2008
RUSH: Joe the Plumber. Now, Joe the Plumber is an average citizen

 

[rightwinger]

Oddly, I happen to agree with Rush

The one per centers I have met seemed to be nice people, love their country, help others. They also worked very long hours and were dedicated to their profession

These people have done very well financially and deserve to do well. Even Rush has earned the money he has made. However, that does not mean we need to continue to pass legislation making it easier for them to gain and protect wealth. We have been priming the one percent pump and are getting very little in return.
Time to cut back on tax loopholes and incentives that encourage the wealthy to get wealthier. They will still work just as hard, they will still be one per centers, but we will have less wealth funneling to those who have shown they don't need our help to gain wealth

Well thanks for that. I have no idea what your point is, but it's ... interesting.

So Jim Smith goes out and works hard and makes a bunch of money, He takes some risks and invests it and makes a bunch more money. All this time, over all these years he has been paying taxes on what he earned and profits he has made. Jim finds that he is suddenly a mulch-millionaire.

He no longer needs to work so he quits working. But he still has some investments out there making him some more money and he continues to pay taxes on that.

Jim dies and leaves all his estate to his only son, who after paying the estate taxes finds that there is enough money for him and even his grandchildren to live on and even more.

So he sells the investments, pays taxes on the profits.

BUT,

No more income taxes..........

Does this make him the bad guy?

Thanks for sharing, LoneLaugher. Great reason to homeschool kids when possible.

Otherwise, they might think their parents, who have left them a stipend so they can pursue a scientific, artistic or musical career for as long as it takes to get them established, help them through thin years when income from their loved career may not support a family, or pay for an unforseen medical expense due to an accident, illness or fraud or injury perpetrated against them by someone else's criminal intent.

Hopefully, they will have a sense of responsibility about money, savings, and the dignity of others so their stipends will last. My mother-in-law put herself in a senior partial care program when my husband's father died leaving an estate everyone was thinking would care for her for the rest of her life. She did not know she would live well past 90. The facility she started paying $1400 a month for her care now charges $5500 a month, and her savings will run out in 5 years. She thinks now she must die, which is a sad prospect, considering her health.

You never know what life will hand to you in order to use up whatever it is you saved in your lifetime of work for in your old age. Costs don't go up, they accelerate some decades, particularly when politicians decide to destroy the nation's financial setup they blame rather than actually doing hard work and earning savings or taking on a sure-fail philosophy such as "who cares, it's only money..." or "live fast, love hard, die young..." and therefore fritters every dime away on every paycheck instead of saving 3-12% for retirement needs.

I can't tell you the damage done to a child with a strong parent who dies when the child is 11 or 12, and the weak parent proceeds to ignore their emotional needs until the child starts experimenting with drugs or the opposite sex which creates a child having a child in some instances. I saw the "smoke that cigarette" attitude take away two family siblings' strong parent at an early age with one addicted to drugs and the other to sex. Both of them failed to keep or maintain a family, and both of them gave up children when they separated or divorced. One set of the children thinks of themselves as failure at ages 18 and 20, but that the world owes them a living, and the other set has anger management and major property disrespect issues. It's not pretty what the die-young mindset and carrythrough does to the next generation.

You do matter to people you touch, and your children do matter to people they touch. Just sayin'.

RUSH: Operation Chaos is balance to all of the fraud that is being committed throughout our electoral process. George Soros is tampering with our electoral process with a huge multibillion-dollar fortune. MoveOn.org is tampering with vast fundraising tentacles. The unions... I mean, who doesn't "tamper" with elections, if you want to get right down to it? Everybody tampers with elections because they're trying to influence the outcome. But I'm not a tamperer.

Are you dropping fucking acid? Seriously. Because you're making zero sense. I don't know if you never make sense, or if this is a special treat or what, but try to pull yourself together.

If you read enough of Ed's posts you will eventually know everything that Rush has ever said. I don't think Ed's ever missed Rush's show........

August 18, 2010
RUSH: The Tea Party is not even weighing in on the mosque.* The Tea Party's worrying about other things, like jobs and the economy and Obama's single-handed destruction of it.* Imam Hussein Obama mmm, mmm, mmm.* I want to be fair, too.* He probably is the best anti-American president the country's ever had.* So I don't want to be misinterpreted here as just a knee-jerk critic.* Ed Gillespie is the former RNC chairman saying that we should downplay the mosque, don't overplay it here.

August 19, 2010
POWERS:* The reason for that is that you have people like Rush Limbaugh referring to him as Imam Hussein Obama.

RUSH:* No, I have not said Imam Hussein Obama.* I've never thrown Hussein in there, I just said Imam Obama.*

August 23, 2010
RUSH: I really didn't, I didn't know Muslims loved golf as much as they apparently do. Right here, what paper is this, the Boston Herald, "Obama Teeing Off Nation One Sunday At A Time." he played at Our Lady of The Fairways, they call it. That's the Vineyard Golf Club.

August 25, 2010
RUSH: * I've never put it out there myself that Obama is a Muslim.*

I found this to be a pretty interesting read. If you hate Rush Limbaugh and are completely biased, don't bother to read the transcript, but you are missing out on a good lesson on being successful. It emphasizes an attitude more people in this country should have. Instead of worrying about how other people are out to keep you down and how no one deserves anything they have, it focuses on having an attitude on how you, the individual, can be successful by doing what you want and doing it well. It focuses on how you need to bring yourself up instead of wasting you're time blaming someone else for holding you down. It's not a perfect breakdown that solves all the country's problems but what he says is true and actually inspiring instead of the depressing stuff you hear that blames everyone but the individual.

College Student Thinks the 1% Has All the Money and He Won't Get Any - The Rush Limbaugh Show

"But most people who are in the 1% are there because they work harder than anybody else, because they found what they love doing, and what they do really isn't work to them. They can't wait to get up every day (including on Mondays) to go back to work because it's what they love most in the world -- and since they love it, they happen to do it better than most other people do. "

I remember hearing that call. It was incredible.

Who the hell in their right mind would call Limbaugh for a sensible conversation? Here is a man who makes his money talking nonsense day in day out. He contributes nothing to America, doesn't even drive an American car. Imagine another conversation:

Caller: I'd like to make millions like you, what is you do?
Rush: I have my scapegoat, it's democrats and progress and taxes.
Caller: Can I make lots of money too.
Rush: probably not, my brand of stereotyping and criticism has limits but who knows, try it.
Caller: So all you do is talk?
Rush: Yep.
Caller: Mom always said talk is cheap, do you do anything productive. Did you serve in the military?
Rush: Hell no, that's for others.
Caller: Oh.
Rush: Yep, I make millions, ain't America great?
Caller: But is there anything good for America that you do?
Rush: Yes, I criticize democrats, see that's good, right.
Caller: Sorry, that's too easy, good bye.


"Rush Limbaugh likes to call himself "the most dangerous man in America." He offers this epithet tongue in cheek on his radio program, but the truth is, he isn't kidding. Over the decade and more that Limbaugh has ruled America's talk-radio landscape, it has become inescapably clear that he is, if nothing else, certainly the most dangerous demagogue in America, maybe in history." Rush, Newspeak and Fascism: An exegesis: I: Projecting Fascism


"Whomever in the broadcast industry gave the “Okay” to re-employ the theofascist, hysterical hard-right propagandist and clown, Rush Limbaugh for another eight years, at the cost of four hundred million, obviously did so, with the expectation that this overly pretentious shock-jock on the fringe of the political right, would certainly attract more income in advertisements, and induct even more brain-dead listeners into believing in his fantasy realm of an America dominated by his mentally deluded version of a society based on fascism and hardcore Christian values."
