‘No. More. Taxes!’: Guess Which CNBC Host Went on an Anti-Tax Rant? (It’s Not Who You Think)

It’s an event as rare as Bigfoot sightings — we have an anti-tax rant from a CNBC host who is not Rick Santelli. The source was “Mad Money” host, Jim Cramer:

Cramer’s “no more taxes” explosion also included this statement explaining that the problem was hitting a broad spectrum of Americans:

Everyone who sat down with their accountants in the past 48 hours is dazzled, dazzled about what’s gonna happen. And I’m not just talking about the wealthy people, because we’re starting to talk about healthcare, small businesses — what they’re thinking about at the end of 2013.

Mr. Cramer sounded a bit like his channel-mate and frequent anti-tax, small-government ranter, Mr. Santelli, as he delivered this message on Friday morning during “Squawk Box”:

      Cloward and Piven destroy capitalism with “crisis strategy” overwhelm the system with the “weight of the poor” get everyone on welfare and government assistance and entitlement to collapse.

      All part of the Agenda to create an America so corrupt it stinks; use public policy to subvert America from inside, infiltrate and influence our culture driving us in a direction designed to destroy us. . If you don’t know all this you need to find out!

      I have watched it 12X to absorb all that is in it! Give it 5 minutes and you won’t be able to walk away!

      This is the most comprehensive, best movie I have seen pulling all this together. Watch it. Share it. Arrange a showing in church, groups, clubs, with friends or family. Everyone who loves America needs to see this movie,

      Just wait for the first payday! EVERYONE is going to notice their paycheck is smaller. 2% jump in SS is on the gross, so the net drops about 2.6% for most of us. Doesn’t matter how little you make, if you were paying taxes (questionable if you’re a lib) you will see your pay go down this year. For most, who may only have 5% disposable income, that’s half of it gone!

      Not only did Crammer want Obama in he campaigned for him. This only proves that he is good as a market prognosticator and a stupid Jack Ass (as in male donkey) as a political pundit. It is not as if there were not enough people telling him exactly what was going to happen if Obama was elected so he has no right to claim ignorance. As the truism go, “There are none so blind as those who will not see.” This last statement not only applies to Crammer but also all those that voted for Obama.

      @MBA – And this historically is always the case. Promises of big government never come to pass. And the people who sell their votes for those big promises find themselves an improverished slave to the government they elected. And typically this enslavement lasts for no less than two generations. We can see this over and over again in history. But an electorate has to read and learn about history and in America today, it is about entertainment all day long every day. So yes, as a country, we re-elected a communist who veils himself as something else and we are going to get what we deserve. It will be unpleasant to say the least. If you aren’t asleep and skeptical of the promises that endlessly pour out of our politicians’ mouths, prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

      of taking a Judeo/Christian culture down from the inside; creating a people so dumbed down they not only want cradle to grave government care but they can’t exist without it – can’t critically think, they can’t serve on juries competently and can’t vote intelligently. Useful idiots for the state.

      No opposition to the agenda – no one notices – verboten to even discuss. Underneath the surface intentionally rotting our culture with the help of a treasonous, complicit media which acts as gatekeeper to prevent the citizens from learning the truth…

      Ronald Reagan said that freedom was not transmitted in the blood stream from one generation to the next that it needed to be fought for.

      Yeah, Cramer is a great analyst. I remember him saying “Buy Sirius; it’s an eight dollar stock!” It was four at the time. As it turns out, it was at or near its high when he gave his expert opinion. Since then it has gone all the way down to ten cents a share and is just now breaking the three dollar mark. I wouldn’t buy gold at three dollars an ounce based on his recommendation.

Now when the Kool-aid sours in his mouth and the facts come to light on the paychecks of working Americans, Cramer can use a calculator? Analyst my patootie!!!

      The one and only up side to your predictions IS the whole WW3 thing. Last time we where in an official depression, WW2 happened, which ultimately lifted us out of the depression. This will be a hyper inflation depression though, so I have no clue what the results of that will be. Then there is the whole possibility of a 2nd civil war as well. Really sucks that any of this crap is even worth discussing, but sadly, the nation has radically changed I am afraid.
