0:00 foreign Denver councilwoman proposes taxing quote white LED businesses as reparations in order to support minority Enterprises so this is this is in Denver I said right she's a city councilwoman her name is Candy wait wait does it count if if if uh they don't if white people don't have businesses uh no it does not count ah I can't why can't they wouldn't it be better to tax white owned Corporation my own business it seems like there's gonna go after like a flower shop I hope that that's what they do because that makes more sense yeah there's too many of them well then but then but then but then doesn't that mean all the businesses in Colorado are just gonna
0:50 leave but shouldn't they pay up Joe think about it do you think they should wait wait wait wait wait wait oh yeah I'm a minor let me get up they should pay they should give you some context let me give you guys some context so this Council woman says that capitalism was built on Stolen lands stolen labors and stolen resources and they checked today could not undo the cumulative impact of generations of that stolen wolf in all of those categories and she's she's saying this as she seeks reelection mind you um she is a person who is up for election so so you see why this is one of her platforms is she white she is not her name is uh CD Baca I believe I said her name is Candy citibaca she is say what race she is because that could be racist
1:41 just take it your best game I'll show you what she looks like she looks and it's it's so good that I'm that I am not commenting because she looks hella Indian to me I think she is Indian oh like Native American yeah yeah like it like an engine oh I see you know I thought it was the other kind of yeah yeah you guys remember you know what I'm talking about yeah I think so yeah so she wants to go after the white gas station owner yeah why can't they go They're Gonna tax their ████ flaming hot Cheetos that they sell pretty much great big business sounds more lucrative as it to tax anyways what do you think about that though I don't know I'm trying to find the Asian equivalent like would it be like if uh I mean Japanese were the
2:32 colonists of the rest of Asia yeah so that means I just got to pay you guys better or do you think that it's a start job should every white it's a good idea it doesn't count well Steve's wife so you don't have to pay him more but oh please please do though should every white owned sushi restaurant have to pay Japanese sushi restaurants in the same area that would be nice a tax for existing there's a tax there's a cultural tax yeah you know what it is like licensing yeah they'd be splitting the customer the consumer base it's like cultural licensing because it's like hey we own the brand right so then you have to pay but it's such an old recipe that's a good idea actually seaweed and rice yeah who the ████ owns that's true that's like saying how you know how like Mickey Mouse is about to be in public domain because like what
3:22 yeah because it's like 100 years old so you can only do it for so long and like within like 10 years Mickey Mouse can be in public domain so Disney ████ bricks obviously about it yeah Peter Pan's been public domain for a while right so the another um huge cartoon just became public domain it's Batman Batman is public domain now really the original comments oh here's the original Bob Kane comic yeah it came out like 1920 something holy ████ did you say public domain you're talking about things like uh in terms of like copyrights I'm saying Kansas could do a Batman movie now but you have to do it through the source material so it has to be like Batman with purple gloves yeah the original the OG yeah oh Comics number one it's like how like we and choreographed to ████ a really really old school classic songs because they're all public domain yeah that's
4:12 why everyone uses house the Rising Sun because like that's a free song right or Danny Boy yep there there is a there is there there are instances of reparations that happen um for the Japanese American Community because I think it was so um recent that they were able to trace it so it was like internment okay I was like this family lost this much girl so they because they got in turn so then when they got out it's like they got something back but then it was never the equivalent of what their properties would have been worth if they were able to keep their land not to mention the stigma post World War II yeah like how much of that impact and the Farms because I feel like the unfortunate thing about like if you say reparations for the black community right the paperwork was horrible back then how do you trace the lineage how do you and then also like
5:03 is it only uh if you just if you just make like a blanket one like black right but what about all the Africans that just came over they're gonna qualify for it when they weren't their ancestors were you have to be foundational black yeah but how do they trace that though that's the hard part I think there's 23 I mean yeah it didn't sound like they were trying to be that I guess specific at least when when I saw that court that court hearing of the dude that wanted reparations it was like every black American that's foundational black American and they're not I don't I don't think it's gonna be divided that that I see dang I mean if they could find out a way to make a balance but but do you think that that the white owned businesses should be taxed or should that be something another thing a separate thing well I don't actually believe that
5:54 all white people had it good well I also don't think especially people who had to work for their small business yeah yeah a degree though it's like now they have to pay an additional tax because of just a foundation or some sort of line that somebody's drawing yeah the way I see history is like there was a very very small handful of people that owned everybody and then it wasn't like it was like yeah maybe one group had it a little bit better but everyone had a hard hard hard time that was s█████ and everyone was enslaved by this small group I think also that that's overlooking the the savviness of business owners like let's say like that soccer player dude is an example of like how he got a divorce and his wife was like I'm taking all your ████ and he's like well I don't technically own it oh because he put it in his mom's exactly when you get to a point in business
6:45 you're not it's not easy to get your ████ let alone tax you for ████ like oh that's what you're saying so like attach my business here you go and then the what's going to be on paper is not what you were expecting right there's gonna be some sort of loophole so it's like it's like even if the law goes through yeah you're saying that these white owned businesses can say can register in Delaware or whatever still operate in Colorado but technically they can't be taxed by Colorado anymore like I think that's like five percent the battle also you may just never get your money yeah who's whose job is it to go after the actual actual cash yeah I do think though like like sometimes things are uh they have good motivations but poor execution and this happens a lot in government right so like let's say a lot of these programs that are meant to help the the the poor and the needy never the money never gets to them yeah so like
7:36 she might be doing this just cause thing people might be voting for it but the people that are executing it could be corrupt could be incompetent because we've seen this time again in government we're like yeah there's so much funding that goes to the poor communities in California the homeless problem here is ████ just getting crazier but they spend billions of dollars but none of that money goes to actually helping them and it just goes to these massive parties that politicians do so yeah because they got funding the first thing you're gonna see if something like this were to go through is you're going to see commercials for lawyers that can go I'm gonna help you get your money that is owed to you and they're gonna be making the money not getting you the money yeah like you'll just be paying them like a class action lawsuit well does this also does this speak for everybody right does everyone is everybody who's a a business owner in the city they're like yes I do want uh attacks on White owned businesses so
8:27 that they can pay me some extra extra cash right like like of course not so the idea of this is kind of whackity do in that way too where it's like not everybody you're assuming that they all want a check from these people or whatever you're assuming they agree with your platform and they agree with what you're saying that's true what's the majority demographic in that area um uh uh it'll probably take me like ████ two well it's called enough it's it's well you said Colorado right yeah I don't when I went out there it's very liberal but it's a lot of white people also people can be Liberal Liberal on the Forefront as much as they want they can say they support these things but in the back end when they do their business it may not match what they say their politics are yeah like Silicon Valley and NorCal they're just like yeah 72 white okay uh African-American 9.18 so
9:20 good luck and other races best of luck I said get those whites wait doesn't that make it easier though if the majority of the the populists out there are like probably white owned businesses that means that fractionally they'll probably take less of a tax to provide for less of the people no but she's saying that they're not going to vote for it exactly but Colorado is like Oregon it's so woke that they might even vote for it for the white Guild dude that's true white Guild is very strong I don't have white guilt I think it's very powerful I have the opposite it's called white pride is that okay can I say that dude I talked to a lot of people with white guilt isn't that kind of like self-love they'll vote for this they'll definitely vote for this yeah that's a crazy thing I mean clearly it's somebody this person who's saying this is someone that's running in politics right yeah so it's just a demonstration of their values they don't I doubt they really care if they'll ever achieve this implement it well also though it's like
10:11 this is one of those things where like if a white person was trying to put this into motion it would maybe be like white saviorism and guilt whereas because because it's not a white person but because it's I also like like you said it's probably a Native American person I said engine [Laughter] it's one of the situations where it's like you know they have a certain type of Precedence to like say something that you kind of got to respect well she's allowed to say that she's allowed to fight for that you know and it makes sense you know how about like the most simplest pragmatic thing I've always thought about is everybody use their tax dollars to help the poor community and forbid better education better hospitals better resources because if you ever travel through the poor communities they don't have the same ████ that we do in the middle class and
11:02 above it's this so it's like and we're all sharing the same country and we want people to do better right and we want the quality of lives of these other communities to do better so I'm like why don't we just start there I don't know why is that so hard you're trying to solve a problem Joe and I think that sometimes you need to have problems that aren't solved so that you can run on them again and then you can run on them is that one that you were always saying too that like I think one of the worst things is that if you choose to work that's not enough it's not enough to make your life better that's what sucks right what do you mean by that like if I'm let's say I'm I'm a super low income person and I decide I would like to work in order to not be low income that is nothing to solve my problem because most of the jobs that I can get at an entry level do not satisfy
11:52 the requirements to have an everyday life they priced you out of the market already yeah you're priced out oh yeah yeah like a lot of poor people won't be able to live this yeah you're not fun living yeah yeah that's for sure right poorer people have to spend more time taking care of other things because they can't use money to solve those right like babysitting or like anything else that you could just throw money at to have someone else worry about it they don't have that luxury so it's like now you can't work as many jobs it's just a different game all the way that's true also maybe this is like a different old school mentality but like does it have to be so and I get it the conversation is so like topical in America but does it have to be like a race driven versus like uh socioeconomics yeah like attacks the rich right put the what the top one percent in just a different tax bracket that gets taxable which I know kind of happens already if you make more than you get taxed in the type of bracket
12:43 whatever but that would make sense right because then more money comes from those that can afford it to potentially provide for those resources I've said this a couple times one of my favorite trolling bits I never got to do was take a megaphone into a like basically a mobile home uh Park and start yelling at white people about their white privilege and ████ because because exactly right like yeah exactly the whole thing is like I I as the tornado when we focus too much on Race what ends up happening is divide and conquer right working class why working class minorities they're out here fighting for crumbs and also we can't look at uh business owners as they're the enemies either because we need both we need working class to work alongside businesses we need to work together right but I also feel like the elites
13:36 that are both in government in the public sector and the private sector they're working together so it's more of class Warfare and you can say let's tax the rich but identifying who the rich is and who's on the the side of the people you can't really tell and also billionaires they have the they have the uh resources to be offshore so you can put as many tax laws and ████ as you want on the loopholes no that's why the IRS goes after the middle class and small businesses because they'll get it so much easier to extract them they'll get it yeah you you think they could come after Amazon they're going to be spending decades fighting them not getting paid is there any good is there any purpose in Greater taxes for foreign companies using America yeah for their business well that's supposed
14:26 to be the tariffs and the yeah and the international tax law and stuff like that is there is there negative uh blowback to raising those I mean there are things in place but like you got to look at each because for example right like one of the stuff in the 90s the reason why Korea and Samsung and all those guys started to come up is because they felt threatened by the Japanese electronics Industry and the car manufacturers so these foreign companies they made up all these rules like let's say uh BMW and all these guys most of your cars have to be made in the States because we don't want foreign manufacturers taking away jobs whatever like they blocked I think it was Bush they blocked all the cell phones and TVs and Sony's and everything from Japan and that's when they got contracts from Samsung and all them to come in that's why we don't see Japanese phones anymore There are rules and things like that in
15:17 place that governments take during Trump's Administration he was saying like there's a huge trade deficit between us and China to the point where um they're like we're just in these s█████ contracts where there's more money that's leaving the states than we're making from China is there an equivalent to like let's say when you tax California companies too much they leave California and that's bad for California does that happen with other countries businesses in America that happens in every industry in general right like that's a huge topic on things like uh like crypto right now the crypto space you ████ regulate it you over regulate it too much in America suddenly all the Innovation goes to every other foreign country it's the same ████ back and forth oh okay okay so it's going to happen um EV tax credits for cars and stuff like that like you'll get a tax credit if that was manufactured in California
16:07 the batteries and everything like that you won't get it if you purchase a cheaper version of those manufacturers yeah I got it so it works both ways it's just a matter of like how but on the flip side though we do make a lot of money through tax it's just mismanagement of funds that's a big part of it too if you look at how much money is being wasted by government and um have you heard of use it or lose it programs you know like in production and film right like if you don't use that full budget then they go next year you don't need that much to make that film so they spend frivolously like schools all that stuff they'll have a whole new set of computers chairs desks and they're just like let's toss it we need to buy more or else we're going to lose this budget so government wastes a lot of money in tax dollars too so it's like you can't just look at one side and go it's the rich people it's the billionaires it's this it's the whole ████ system that everybody's milky
16:59 yep 100 regulate that you tax the whites hey we're gonna need to spend about uh 200 000 in c47s okay that's right are those are clothing yeah [Music]
