Why do people still think tax cuts for the rich work? It hasn't worked and never will.
Jace Solomon probably because it sounds good on paper. "If the rich guy has more money, he'll hire more guys, and give us raises" kind of hard to argue with that logic, until you factor in real people, and of course people are the worst. "Oh, on second thought I think I'll just keep the money for myself, I've totally earned it, honest"
We've done this twice now, and it was a catastrophe both times, even the republican god Reagan realized how bad it was and tried to undo it, but once you open pandora's box you can't close it.
The motor of the economy is the middle class, they have money and buy stuff and the group is many times larger than the rich. At least it used to be, the middle class has been decimated.
Because conservatives wont give up on the words written in red by their Lord and Savior Ronald Reagan
The rich knows this. And they use the people who are the most gullible to their advantage. There's a reason why the republican party is made up of the rich and the uneducated.
A ventriloquist and a dummy at the same damn time. One of the best comments ever.
I thought that was John Oliver in the thumbnail for a second.
Sam Bee noted that Steve was John's evil twin
was about to post the same comment
Same!! lol
that is disrespectful to john oliver
Patrick Hogan me too
Yeah his wife doesn't look like she's not using him for his money at ALL
Elexess Ashley to be fair, most attractive women get accused of that alot. It is possible they are just perfect for each other based on how slimy they each are. It isn't true, but it's possible haha.
But honestly they are complete opposite I get opposites attract but this is a stretch!
Elexess Ashley She doesn't need his money. She was born a pampered, princess. Strictly for the status. Position, and fame. You know? White House connections. I'd be surprised if her husband, Steve Mnuchin, has ever touched her Punanni.
I think she's absolutely awful BUT she was filthy rich before marrying him (come from some rich Scottish snobbish family). And also had her own production company. Quite a stereotype to only believe she's a gold digger and only the dude can have money. They're just two terrible rich people being completely terrible together.
PozoBlue You know what rich people want? more money, so a gold digger fit the bilk
I don't get all this trump hate, everything he has done so far makes complete sense when you turn your brain off.
DPowered Smith profile pic makes that comment work so much more beautifully
Willow Kornoski lol thank you cyanide and happiness
I know right? Being apart of the top 5% in this great country of ours, why can't the American people get behind my upcoming tax cut, which I will put into my retirement fund, so I can retire at 54, rather than 55.
DPowered Smith LOL! Thank you for the laugh! And for finally realizing why people voted for and still support trump. They either have no brains to begin with or they turned them off!
DPowered Smith well put lol
A Batman villain produced Batman films?
KingOfMadCows In the Knightfall series the Joker directed a Batman film, so it's not too far off. Coincidentally in it the Joker also had a crooked producer who was only thinking of the box office numbers... and who had a blonde, mean-girl looking "secretary slash model"... hmmmmmmmm...
"Producer who was only thinking of the box office numbers" isn't that, like, every producer ever?
mineMissHellsing Sorry I meant a producer who only thought of numbers and not how many people would die... so basically a perfect guy for Trum-- I mean the Joker.
When Trevor mentioned the Ventriloquist thing I was like "okay, so where did he hide Scarface?"
Sean Spicer = "Spicy"
Anthony Scaramucci = "The Mooch"
Steve Mnuchin = ... My new chin? The Nooch?
THE NOOCH
No Chin?
THE CRIMSON CHIN YOU GUYS
Or the Dun Chin if you would prefer
Moochin' Mnuchin
Nooch is vegan slang for nutritional yeast, which is kind of like a cheese flavor substitute. That could work ha
Doesn't want anyone to say that he's lying through his teeth.
I was thinking that Mnuchin's teeth don't move much because it's easier for him to talk out of his ass instead of his mouth.
@@Montesama314 yep! I see on some press conferences with Trump he is smirking while Trump is insulting female reporters. Doesnt seem to have any type of moral standards.
You're the best, Meangurl.
FUmarc "umm, thanks bae 😚"
Her name is Desi, btw
"Under _our_ tax models at the Treasury... um... this will pay for itself."
Am I the only one who gets sick of hearing this? I heard it over and over again while _Bush_ was in office and it never turned out to be true. What's wrong with either asking the wealthy to demonstrate their sincerity when they say the nation needs more defense spending by asking them to pay more in taxes to cover it, or asking them to demonstrate their sincerity when they say they need lower taxes by _cutting_ our defense spending to cover _that?_ Because the claims, "We need more defense spending," and "The wealthy need lower taxes," cannot be reconciled. This is the sort of thing that pushes up the national debt.
lazyperfectionist1: Question should be "How much is enough for the defense complex?" We are already outspending the next 10-15 countries, so where is the threath? Since WW2 NO country has declared war to the US. Since Pearl Harbor, NOT a single foreign soldier has set foot on US soil and fired a bullet. Yet the majority of Americans (are led to) believe they are and have been on the verge of being invaded for the past 70 years. But then again if the US army is still paying 40 USd for a box of nails, one could argue they need more money. BTW what happened to all the statements of the generals since the late 80s that we would be leaving conventional war and moving more and more to technologgy warfare with drones. We have an entire drone complex yet it isn't getting any cheaper
lazyperfectionist1 whatever beyond that is considered "Communism" lololol
SHURE WHEN YOU OWN THE PRINTER !!
Steven Munchkin and his blonde trophy wife Louise.
The Trump admin. Is just full of cartoon characters.
Not a trophy wife. She was born wealthy, too. She's just a bitch like him. They're perfect together. Try to judge people on their shittiness and not their appearance
"Trophy Wife?"... a "Participation trophy at most. Lol
I like your avatar
Thank you Trevor
I heard one word out of Mnuchin's voice and instantly fell asleep.
WTF that gave the exact same effect to me, I literally just woke up :")
It creeped me out and gave me nightmares.
Oh? I was riveted by the complete nonsense that was his plan for the economy. It was literally, 'We'll cut taxes for the rich, and then by the power of Greyskull, the economy improves.'
Mnuchin is repeating the same talking points about cutting taxes for the rich that have been a Republican standard since Reagan: cut taxes for the rich and the money will trickle down into the economy like a Moscow prostitute's pee.
Thanks "Brainstormer623".:) Still got Your wallet, right?:D
I can't say this is the srangest time in human history but man if this isn't up there
I believe it's one of the interesting times. I also think that DJT presidency is a black swan event. What makes so interesting is that his persona alone could potentially make other black swan events much more likely to happen compared with other presidents, like nuclear war, the halting of global trade, invasion of Iran, invasion of NK, etc. Just because of DJT factor. If he's pulled one of those black swan events, then the theory about Man of History is proved still relevant in the age of information and high-technology environment. Cheers for academic!
I can't wait for my grandkids to read about this time in their history books, then ask me what it was like.
Oh, never mind. The whole world has nukes now.
This and maybe when the Mongols began invading Europe. Natural order reversed, all hope appears lost, etc.
The guy invested in AVATAR and were supposed to trust him with he deficit?
Well, Avatar IS the highest-grossing movie of all time, so I don't think that particular argument would be valid.
But if we base it on if it was good or not. It wasn't good. And it was a waste of everyone's money and only benefited the rich.. soooo valid again
Elexess Ashley I thought it was a great movie
i liked that movie
Why pick avatar when he did Batman v superman?
I love you and your work xoxoxo
It will be interesting if we're simultaneously fucked up by an economic crash, a nuclear war and climate change. That would be the trifecta of a bad day 😂 #morbid
Lizzy Doom I mean...aimed properly, you could legit achieve all three with a single nuke... Not to mention the 10 more that would follow, not because we were attacked, but because Trump wouldn't stand for being outbombed.
Well, there is a another category 5 hurricane about to hit us in a couple days, but climate change is just a liberal conspiracy, right?
Is it bad that I don't like your country but still don't want such harm befalling y'all? Just because you're diagnosed with cancer doesn't mean you have to die, and I really hope you can fight it.
borot man the only way these people will wake up and realize everything has gone to shit is if something catastrophic happens.
It would have to be something the entire nation can't ignore or else we'll just brush it off like a bad cold.
Travis you are the best!
I don't appreciate where this is gonna end......but it's sooooo fun to watch. I just wanna continue
Can't believe Trevor missed the chance to say "by the power invested in me by Mother Russia"
Congrats Trevor on your Emmy but you also deserved one for your talk show!
"... made a batman movie"? he threw some money at some people, doesn't mean he made a bloody batman movie!
Dear Trevor Noah and The Daily Show team you never talked about police brutality against Black women -only Black men. Please check the movement #SayHerName to talk about this socia issue that no one is talking about. Thanks for considering my request.
I have no idea about this issue, which is why I liked the comment. I'm gonna look into it, but I hope someone I trust like John Oliver or Trevor Noah or Sam Bee do a piece on it, too. Thanks for the heads up
That's a good point, however in the end TDS is just a comedy show. I know you want those who exclusively get their news here to be better informed, but all news and more must be looked up by yourself. Either way, I hope they take your request as much as I know it's not their job.
Thank you J Girl
Cracked me up•••
ventriloquist & the dummy😂😂😂😂😂
"Let them eat cake!"
"...like he is both the ventriloquist and the dummy"...LOL!!!
I love you Trevor!
"I want lego batman and lego superman as my new senior advisor's and we will fight to get back gotham city and metropolis."

are his teeth like glued together?
Damn, that mustache shadow is getting more intense every week.

We need TAX INCREASES!! Huffington Post April 25, 2017 The next time your right-wing family member or former high school classmate posts a status update or tweet about how taxing the rich or increasing workers’ wages kills jobs and makes businesses leave the state, I want you to send them this article.
When he took office in January of 2011, Minnesota governor Mark Dayton inherited a $6.2 billion budget deficit and a 7 percent unemployment rate from his predecessor, Tim Pawlenty, the soon-forgotten Republican candidate for the presidency who called himself Minnesota’s first true fiscally-conservative governor in modern history. Pawlenty prided himself on never raising state taxes - the most he ever did to generate new revenue was increase the tax on cigarettes by 75 cents a pack. Between 2003 and late 2010, when Pawlenty was at the head of Minnesota’s state government, he managed to add only 6,200 more jobs.
During his first four years in office, Gov. Dayton raised the state income tax from 7.85 to 9.85 percent on individuals earning over $150,000, and on couples earning over $250,000 when filing jointly - a tax increase of $2.1 billion. He’s also agreed to raise Minnesota’s minimum wage to $9.50 an hour by 2018, and passed a state law guaranteeing equal pay for women. Republicans like state representative Mark Uglem warned against Gov. Dayton’s tax increases, saying, “The job creators, the big corporations, the small corporations, they will leave. It’s all dollars and cents to them.” The conservative friend or family member you shared this article with would probably say the same if their governor tried something like this. But like Uglem, they would be proven wrong.
Between 2011 and 2015, Gov. Dayton added 172,000 new jobs to Minnesota’s economy - that’s 165,800 more jobs in Dayton’s first term than Pawlenty added in both of his terms combined. Even though Minnesota’s top income tax rate is the fourth highest in the country, it has the fifth lowest unemployment rate in the country at 3.6 percent. According to 2012-2013 U.S. census figures, Minnesotans had a median income that was $10,000 larger than the U.S. average, and their median income is still $8,000 more than the U.S. average today.
By late 2013, Minnesota’s private sector job growth exceeded pre-recession levels, and the state’s economy was the fifth fastest-growing in the United States. Forbes even ranked Minnesota the ninth best state for business (Scott Walker’s “Open For Business” Wisconsin came in at a distant #32 on the same list). Despite the fearmongering over businesses fleeing from Dayton’s tax cuts, 6,230 more Minnesotans filed in the top income tax bracket in 2013, just one year after Dayton’s tax increases went through. As of January 2015, Minnesota has a $1 billion budget surplus, and Gov. Dayton has pledged to reinvest more than one third of that money into public schools. And according to Gallup, Minnesota’s economic confidence is higher than any other state.
Gov. Dayton didn’t accomplish all of these reforms by shrewdly manipulating people - this article describes Dayton’s astonishing lack of charisma and articulateness. He isn’t a class warrior driven by a desire to get back at the 1 percent - Dayton is a billionaire heir to the Target fortune. It wasn’t just a majority in the legislature that forced him to do it - Dayton had to work with a Republican-controlled legislature for his first two years in office. And unlike his Republican neighbor to the east, Gov. Dayton didn’t assert his will over an unwilling populace by creating obstacles between the people and the vote - Dayton actually created an online voter registration system, making it easier than ever for people to register to vote.
The reason Gov. Dayton was able to radically transform Minnesota’s economy into one of the best in the nation is simple arithmetic. Raising taxes on those who can afford to pay more will turn a deficit into a surplus. Raising the minimum wage will increase the median income. And in a state where education is a budget priority and economic growth is one of the highest in the nation, it only makes sense that more businesses would stay.
It’s official - trickle-down economics is bunk. Minnesota has proven it once and for all. If you believe otherwise, you are wrong.
Do you have the link?
www.huffingtonpost.com/carl-gibson/mark-dayton-minnesota-economy_b_6737786.html
Minnesota, Kansas, Wisconsin, Louisiana, state after state shows that trickle-down is bullshit, but those pushing it through legislatures just don't want to listen. Of course, those pushing it through legislatures are the same rich guys who benefit from lower taxes, so why would they change their minds?
When he started talking, I was like... OMG Microsoft Sam!
That 'swamp' SEEMS pretty FULL to me...
A little tidbit, I live in Kentucky and my sister lives close to Ft. Knox. Ft. Knox is mainly a artillery training facility, there are no gold brick goodies.
I wondered why they would travel there, not just her but him too, there is nothing to see at Ft. Knox and it is certainly not a glamor spot.
They went to see the eclipse. They took a gov. jet to get a good view of the solar eclipse.
How your taxes are spent.
Oh Trevor, you are my hero...and I'm glad you got the coke!!
At 6:15, it’s fun when Trevor jokes about his childhood in Africa. I’m not offensive, I am just attempting to praise his jokes.
lol that mean girl made me choke on my cereal XD
Steve was a former foreclosure king profiting at the expense of all those who lost their homes- that would have been a better main topic to discuss.
Mean girl translator 😂😂😂
i love this guy
America. Slowly but surely becoming Nigeria since 2016 😃
Tremendous roasting.
That mean girl was the most tremendous of them all!
And he is our Secretary of Treasury. They are sickening.
Mean girl, give cool mean tests🤣
Tax the middle class and working people to give BIG tax breaks to the very wealthy and corporations, cut programs that actually do help make America a better, safer, cleaner country and give corporations an open door to do as they please.
MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!
And SOME people fell for it!!! They've been PUNKED!!!
like, OMG, I love how he uses valley girl accent for "mean girl"
"Pay for this with growth" lol
1:33 my entire high school experience😅
Everytime I see a Mnuchin story I think of how Stephen Colbert imitates him.
I'm dying we hired a mean girl just for this MEAN GIRL "Lol"
I'm getting hardcore bullying because I said trump acts like a kid 😑 didn't know I could upset people so much
Sorry to hear that Crissy. It's true though, so I totally agree with you. :)
Well, crissy dumeny, you have me bigly upset now. Most kids are way more decent and mature than trump. Please refrain from comparing him to them.
Hardcore bullied? How old are you? Stand up for yourself. Kind of pathetic to go complain about it online
Trump-tards are crybabies and will attack anyone who criticizes their Idiot-God.
Thankz guys and yea I guess I kinda had it coming because I commented on TH-cam CNN channel 😂
So the private jet was a return for all their tax dollars?? Fuck it, WHERE is my bloody limousine for all these years of paying my tax dues - if I haven't paid for a private jet yet?
real housewife meets Marie Antoinette :D hahaha that was great
Holy shit USA, you went from Alexander Hamilton to this, whatever he is supposed to be?
Mean Girl is truly the best ^_^
"That kid on her lap...that was me"
As a woman, I suspect there is a reason that Pence is not allowed to entertain other women without the wife present. It's not normal for a couple married for so long (trust generally builds over time.) But, I could easily see how a past situation informs the present.
The add on this video hates me. Keeps freezing can't watch video. Grr..
One time, Steve Mnuchin's wife slapped me in the face on Air Force One.
It was awesome.
The crazy thing is there's 100 guy and gals just like this that want the same treatment for doing little to nothing to help anyone. They need lessons in tremendousness.
He has the best criminals on his team
Desi Lydic is the best mean girl voice ever
Get Mean Girl to say, "That's so fetch."
Great Show!
How did this Profile in Tremendousness not include Mnchnchnmn's title "California Forclosure King?"
How do you always know when Im about to pack a bowl, Trevor?
I knew Trevor was going to say he was the kid somehow
NO. Trevor. NO. I enjoy watching your show but no one, NO ONE, is allowed to say that Donald Trump can be Batman. Not even as a joke. Bad Trevor. Bad.
I remember how I was the only hope of a few African HIV children. I was the only one they could trust. I was the one they loved. They would beg me to share my time with them.... Now I buy their diamonds. See how that works? I cared about them all along.
Thanks Desi! :)
thnk u
He should go back to producing movies
Watch Sean Spicer be Batman since he's Hollywood's sweetheart, now...!
He's the ventriloquist and the dummy? That's why he meshes well with Russia and Trump.
Must hear again and again: 5:01
One simple rule - If someone says "It pays for itself" he is lying.
honestly didn't expect us to be survive this long....
No doubt, an impressive resume
Louise Linton is a 36-year old woman who unironically uses "lololol" in her speech. Let that sink in for a moment.
Disgusting. Expresses shock at the notion that the govt paid for her travel. Now we find out, that's just what they wanted. So typical and sadly, not unusual.
Historically speaking, tax cuts for the rich have never paid for themselves. They didn't during the Reagan years, the first part of the Bush Sr. years before taxes had to be raised, and during the Bush Jr. years, hence the massive deficits the country's budget had during those administrations. Trickle down economics has been proven to not work.
The tax cuts did cause an increase in economic activity, but most economists attribute that to the fact that part of those tax cuts went to the lower and middle class, who actually spent and invested the money given back to them. The rich on the other hand overwhelmingly chose to deposit their portion of every one of those tax cuts into their bank accounts and sit on that money (which generated no increase in economic activity on their part). The economic activity generated by the pittances given to the lower/middle class have never been enough to offset the lost federal revenue from the massive tax cuts given back to the rich.
And surprise, surprise, Trump's tax cut is structured even more favorably towards the rich than the ones during the Reagan and both Bush administrations. When tickle down once again fails to do what the conservatives promise it will do, the people who voted this administration in only have themselves to blame when the country is bankrupt in four years because Trump ran on this obviously tried and failed economic policy as one of his key policy planks. The non-wealthy who voted for him deserve even more so the ass-fucking they get when the federal programs they've been proven to benefit from get their funding slashed in draconian budget cuts on top of the ones already planned for the next budget because of said federal bankruptcy.
Oh great, Donald just hired the Penguin from Batman into his den of thieves...
Is there any 1 in President Trump's family, the Cabinet, or is a spokesperson/lawyer for him that isn't corrupt, very incompetent, or unqualified for their current jobs?
Holy crap like at 99
Why does he look like if John Oliver ate cashews and raisins all his life?
Truth is Mnuchin is as qualified as any of the Treasury Secretaries from the recent past. Same banks, same net worth. USA is beholden to Wall Street.
I love mean gurl!
What's more crooked than a banker : a movie producer !
LOL from Sweden. Enjoy,.
Rich guy who stumbles into being the treasury secretary: "Wait a minute. You mean we can make up the rules for how we tax ourselves? Wow, this job is really cool!"
Even Mean Girl (tm) couldn't speak it correctly. It wasn't "L-O-L", it was "L-O-L-O-L-O-L". It's not that difficult to pronounce correctly!
What is going on here? Please tell me! Someone - anyone - get down on your knees and tell me already! Stop this madness!!!
Mean girl... Lol
Looks like John Oliver.
Mnuchin is the jokester.
He look like john oliver
OMG! mum just told me i was the kid on her lap.
John Oliver's evil twin?
He was an executive producer of freakin' _Suicide Squad_ for cryin' out loud! How in the hell could anyone possibly consider a guy like that for the position of The Secretary of the Treasury?
