Video: Good Samaritans Rescue Man From Subway Tracks


Today on Yahoo! News, a video from Trending Now was posted about a few good samaritans in Boston. A man had accidentally walked off the platform and took a hard fall onto the subway tracks. It became evident that the man was not responding to the crowd's concern. Therefore, a few individuals quickly jumped down to lift him back onto the platform. The station crew was apparently alerted in time to stop incoming trains, but these bystanders were not aware of this. They selflessly acted to help save this stranger's life. An amazing story and video that reminds us that there are still good people left in this world.

The 1% Shouldn't Pay Taxes According to Harry Binswanger

Credit: free.clipartof.com
Tuesday on Yahoo! Finance, The Daily Ticker's Morgan Korn posted an article and video about the recent controversial statements of one Harry Binswanger. This former college professor sat down with two individuals from The Daily Ticker, including Aaron Task and Henry Blodget.

According to the article and video, it seems that Binswanger firmly believes that the 99% are indebted to 1%. The 99% should give back to the 1% for "their enormous contributions to our standard of living." Also, Binswanger believes that the 1% should therefore not be punished by having to pay taxes. They should be exempt.

Task and Blodget further question Harry Binswanger's belief in their Yahoo! Finance video. Be sure to click on the link below to read Morgan Korn's article and to watch The Daily Ticker's video.
