Why Republicans Want To Ban Class Action Lawsuits

NOW THAT DONALD TRUMP IS PRESIDENT, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
OFFICIALS, POLITICIANS, AND MOST ESPECIALLY DONORS THINK IT'S
PARTY TIME.
OH, THEY ARE IN HOG HEAVEN.
NO HOLD BARRED.
KATIE,
BAR THE DOOR.
WE ARE COMING.
THEY WANT EVERYTHING THING THEY
EVER DREAMED OF.
SO RIGHT NOW THEY ARE ASKING FOR EVERY TAX
CUT IN THE WORLD.
THEY ARE DEREGULATING AT AN UNBELIEVABLE
PACE, CUTTING SPENDING IN THE GOVERNMENT ACROSS THE BOARD,
GETTING EVERYTHING THEY EVER DREAMED OF.
NOW LATER THEY WILL
THROW TRUMP UNDER THE BUS AND SAY YOU ARE MAD AT THESE
POLICIES?
THAT WASN'T US, THAT WAS THIS CRAZY GUY DONALD TRUMP.
BUT IT'S THE ENTIRE REPUBLIC AND PARTY, AND THEY ARE DOING IT
RIGHT NOW.
THE LATEST TWIST IS, WOULDN'T IT BE COOL IF
CORPORATIONS WERE ABOVE THE LAW AND THEY PRACTICALLY CONTINUOUS
AT ALL?
THAT WE COULD DO WHATEVER THE HELL WE WANTED.
OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANY KIND OF LAW ENFORCEMENT
WHILE TRUMP IS IN CHARGE, WHILE REPUBLICANS ARE IN CHARGE, SO WE
ARE FREE AND CLEAR ON THAT.
THEY ARE CUTTING THE IRS BY 14%, THEY
WON'T AUDIT US -- OH, THESE LAWYERS WHO ACTUALLY WANT TO
REPRESENT PEOPLE WE'VE HARMED, THAT IS PESKY.
LET'S GET RID OF
THAT.
THEY HAVE TWO LAWS THEY PROPOSED, ONE OF THEM AS
EXPLAINED HERE --
>>WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
THE REASON WHY CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS
ARE SO IMPORTANT IS IF A COMPANY ACCIDENTALLY -- OR ON PURPOSE,
WHO KNOWS -- POISONS A RIVER NEAR YOU OR A PILL YOU ATE OR
FOOD THAT YOU ATE AND YOU WANT TO SUE THEM, IF IT'S JUST ONE
GUY YOU HAVE NO CHANCE, THEY HAVE AN ARMY OF LAWYERS.
WHO ARE
YOU GOING TO SUE THEM WITH?
HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU GET
THE MONEY TO DO THAT?
AND THEY KNOW THAT, THEY WANT YOU TO BE
POWERLESS.
THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD ACTUALLY SUE THEM AND HOLD
THEM TO ACCOUNT FOR THE DAMAGE THEY DID TO YOUR FAMILY AND
LOVED ONES IS IF YOU CAN BAND TOGETHER.
THEY HATE WHEN YOU
BAND TOGETHER.
THAT'S WHY THEY HATE WHEN YOU DO UNIONS.
ONE
EMPLOYEE VERSUS A GIANT EMPLOYER HAS NO CHANCE.
IF YOU GO TO YOUR
BOSS AT ONE OF THOSE GIANT CORPORATIONS AND SAY I DON'T
WANT MINIMUM WAGE, I WANT HIGHER -- THAT'S CUTE, GET THE HELL
OUT.
BUT IF THE ENTIRE FACTORY DOES THAT, NOW YOU BALANCED THE
POWER A LITTLE BIT AND YOU CAN HAVE REAL NEGOTIATIONS.
BASICALLY A SIMILAR CONCEPT IN LAW.
IF IT'S ONE GUY, YOU'RE
NEVER GOING TO WIN, YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY, THEY WILL
CRUSH YOU.
IF YOU GATHER A BUNCH OF PEOPLE, FOR SEVERAL REMEMBER
THE ERIN BROCKOVICH CASE, THAT WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
AN
ENTIRE COMMUNITY HAD BEEN HURT BY THE ACTIONS OF THIS COMPANY,
SOME OF THEM HAD DIED, SO SHE BROUGHT THEM ALL TOGETHER AND
THEY SUED AND THEY WON, TURNS OUT THEY WERE RIGHT, THE COMPANY
WAS DAMAGING THEM.
THEY WERE HURTING THEIR HEALTH, THEIR
FAMILIES' HEALTH, SOME PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE OF IT, THANK GOD
SHE WAS ABLE TO DO THAT LAWSUIT.
LAWSUITS ARE TO HOLD PEOPLE
ACCOUNTABLE.
NOW WHAT THEY WOULD DO IS TAKE IT AWAY, CLASS-ACTION
LAWSUITS BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT.
AND THEN THEY PUNISH
THE LAWYERS WHO BRING THEM.
NOW THE ONLY HOPE YOU HAVE IF YOU
ARE POOR OR MIDDLE CLASS IS THAT A LAWYER TAKES IT, AND THEN SAYS
ALL RIGHT, IF WE WIN I'LL GET A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THE WIN,
BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY THEM.
THEY ARE VERY
EXPENSIVE, THAT'S THE ONLY WAY THEY CAN DO IT.
NOW IN THIS LAW,
SORRY, WE WILL MAKE IT FINANCIALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE
LAWYERS TO TAKE THEM.
WE WOULD PUNISH THE LAWYERS WHO WANT TO
REPRESENT THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASS SO THEY GET NO
REPRESENTATION AT ALL, SO IT'S EASIER TO CRUSH THEM AND POISON
THEM AND DO WHATEVER WE WANT.
NOT ALL CORPORATIONS ARE BAD,
THAT'S CRAZY TALK, THEY WON'T ALL POISON YOU, OF COURSE NOT.
BUT THERE ARE BAD ACTORS, THAT'S HOW WE SEPARATE THE GOOD ONES
FROM THE BAD ONES.
THAT EVERY CORPORATION GETS SUED, ONLY THE
ONES HARMING THE COMMUNITY.
IF YOU TAKE THAT POWER AWAY FROM
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING LEFT TO PROTECT
YOURSELF.
AND THAT'S NOT ALL, THERE IS ANOTHER ONE.
THEY SAY
--
>>NOW, THEY MAKE IT MANDATORY SO THAT THEY CAN PUNISH LAWYERS WHO
DARED CHALLENGE CORPORATIONS.
KNOW YOUR ROLE.
EVERYONE BOW
DOWN TO MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS.
THE REALITY IS IF
IT WAS AN ACTUAL FRIVOLOUS LAWSUIT, THE JUDGE CAN ALREADY
SECTION THEM.
IN FACT --
>>BUT NOT ENOUGH -- IF YOU LOSE, WE WILL MAKE PUNISHING YOU
MANDATORY.
BECAUSE THERE CAN BE NO ONE HOLDING MULTINATIONAL
CORPORATIONS ACCOUNTABLE AS THEY ROB US OF OUR SOVEREIGNTY, OUR
ABILITY TO FIGHT BACK, OUR ABILITY TO BASICALLY PROTECT
OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE IN CHARGE, THERE
ARE NO MORE RULES.
THESE CORPORATIONS THAT BOUGHT OFF ALL
THESE POLITICIANS THROUGH THEIR INFINITE CORRUPTION NOW THINK,
YES, WE GET EVERY PRESENT WE EVER WANTED.
WE HAD OUR
CHRISTMAS WISH LIST NOT JUST TO TRUMP, BUT THIS IS REPUBLICANS
IN CONGRESS DOING IT, AND ALL THOSE REPUBLICANS SAY YES, SIR,
ABSOLUTELY, SIR, HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO CRUSH THE AVERAGE
AMERICAN, SIR?
DONE.
I WILL INTRODUCE THOSE BILLS
IMMEDIATELY.
ANOTHER STORY OUT WITH A THIRD BILL THAT IS
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR BANK OF AMERICA, THEY DO MOST OF
THESE TRANSACTIONS, ACCORDING TO RECORDS THE HUFFINGTON POST
LOOKED INTO THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES LOBBYING ON THIS BILL.
WHY?
LET'S LOOK INTO THE DETAILS --
>>IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT ETFs ARE THEY ARE A
FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENT, KINDA LIKE A MUTUAL FUND, USUALLY ON THE INDEX LIKE
THE STOCK MARKET, THE IMPORTANT PART IS BANK OF AMERICA DOES A
LOT OF THOSE DEALS, AND IF THEY ARE DOING SELF-DEALING AND NOT
LETTING THE CUSTOMERS KNOW THAT THEY ARE DOING SELF-DEALING,
WELL, THAT USED TO BE A PROBLEM.
NOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS,
LET'S PASS A LAW THAT SAYS YOU CAN'T SUE ME FOR THAT.
OF COURSE
YOU SHOULD REPRESENT THE BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR CLIENT, BUT IN
ANOTHER STORY I TOLD YOU ABOUT IN THE LAST WEEK, THEY'RE ALSO
STRIPPING THAT PROVISION AWAY.
THERE WAS A REGULATION SAYING IF
YOU ARE IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD, YOU MUST REPRESENT THE BEST
INTEREST OF YOUR CLIENT.
THE REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING, NO, YOU
DON'T HAVE TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTEREST OF YOUR CLIENT.
ISN'T
THAT AMAZING?
THEY ARE RUBBING YOUR FACE IN IT, AND THIS IS
ANOTHER VERSION OF THAT.
BANK OF AMERICA, YOU WANT TO ROB YOUR
CLIENTS, CHARGE THEM SECRET RATES THEY CAN'T SEE?
YOU MAKE
MORE MONEY BY DOING THIS SELF-DEALING, YOU BRING IT TO
ANOTHER COMPANY YOU HAVE A DEAL WITH AND YOU DON'T TELL THE
CLIENT AND YOU CHARGE THE MINISTER PERCENTAGE, GO AHEAD.
I
WON'T EVEN LET THEM SUE YOU, I'LL CHANGE THE LAW SO THERE IS
NOTHING YOUR CLIENTS CAN DO ABOUT IT.
AMAZING.
TO GIVE YOU
ONE MORE DESCRIPTION OF THIS LAW.
LISTEN TO THIS ORWELLIAN
TITLE --
>>THE GREAT AMERICAN ROBBERY HAS BEGUN.
THEY'RE GOING TO LOOT
THE PLACE IN ITS ENTIRETY.
NOW THERE ARE NO BREAKS IN THE CAR,
REPUBLICANS CONTROL THE HOUSE, SENATE, AND WHITE HOUSE.
ALL THE
GOODIES THEIR DONORS EVER WANTED WILL GO STRAIGHT INTO THEIR
POCKETS.
SO, LOOK, THERE IS TERRIBLE CORRUPTION IN THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY TOO, I THINK THAT WHOLE SYSTEM IS BUILT
WRONG.
IF YOU BUILD A SYSTEM WHERE PRIVATE INTERESTS FINANCE
OUR ELECTIONS, THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ELECTED WILL SERVE THOSE
PRIVATE INTERESTS.
THEY WILL NOT SERVE THE PUBLIC.
THAT IS NOT
OUR HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, THEY WILL REPRESENT THE DONORS
AND NOT THE VOTERS.
WE HAVE BUILT THE SYSTEM IN A WRONG WAY,
AND I THINK WOLF PAC IS THE ANSWER.
YOU DO A CONSTITUTIONAL
AMENDMENT AND MAKE IT ILLEGAL TO TAKE CAMPAIGN DONATIONS FROM
PRIVATE INTERESTS, MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS, THE INCREDIBLY
RICH, YOU PUBLICLY FINANCED ELECTIONS SO POLITICIANS SERVE
THE PUBLIC, THEY BECOME OUR REPRESENTATIVES.
WOLF-PAC.COM,
THAT'S HOW YOU FIX THE SYSTEM.
WE HAVE TO GET AN AMENDMENT
RIGHT AWAY.
AT THE STATE LEVEL REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS AGREE
WITH THAT, WE WIN IN SO MANY DIFFERENT PLACES.
CERTAINLY THE
VOTERS, REPUBLICAN VOTERS HATE THE CORRUPTION.
I'M NOT BLAMING
YOU GUYS AT ALL, YOU HATE THE CRONY CAPITALISM, YOU ARE TRUE
AMERICANS JUST LIKE DEMOCRATS, LIBERTARIANS, AND INDEPENDENTS.
90% OF AMERICANS AGREE THIS IS DISGUSTING.
BUT AT THE NATIONAL
LEVEL THE REPUBLICANS HAVE CORNERED THE MARKET ON
CORRUPTION.
IF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS 80% CORRUPT, AND IT
PROBABLY IS, THE PUBLICAN PARTY AT THIS POINT IS JUST ABOUT 100%
CORRUPT.
THEY BRAZENLY REPRESENT THESE MULTINATIONAL CORPORATIONS
AND STRIP AWAY ANY POWER THE AVERAGE AMERICAN HAS TO FIGHT
BACK.
AND THEY ARE DOING IT IN THESE THREE DIFFERENT WAYS AS WE
SPEAK.
IF THEY GET ALL THOSE THINGS PUT INTO LAW, YOU'LL HAVE
NO RECOURSE AT ALL.
THOSE CORPORATIONS RUN OVER YOUR
FAMILY, YOU WON'T HAVE A LAWYER TO REPRESENT YOU, YOU WON'T BE
ABLE TO BAND TOGETHER TO FIGHT BACK, THEY WILL STRIP YOU OF ALL
YOUR POWER AND ALL YOUR SOVEREIGNTY.
THIS IS WHAT THE
REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS BECOME.
