@munkyuism If you went to a housing project and gave every family there a million dollars a few would move out, but for the most part you'd have a housing project with a lot of nice cars out front and residents with a lot of bling. And most of the ones who'd move would do the same. Ever hear of curse of the lottery?
John Lennon believed in wealth redistribution, but he didn't give any of his loot to the cause and I bet if you tried to cover one of his songs on an album you'd have to pay for it even if your a poor artist starting out. I do believe they distribute the heat evenly in Hell, huh John!
@ProbIemSoIver No it didn't...stealing an entire country from Native Americans, building our entire infrastructure on the backs of slave labor, and having free reign at manufacturing when 2 world wars wiped out basically every industrialized country made us great. Our bill of rights is what makes us great, not our economic system. Nowadays, we equate happiness with wealthiness. We could be socialist and still have the bill of rights.
@munkyusm You need to learn a little more about history. Slavery was in and of itself a cost-prohibitive practice. The ONLY industries that were could actually afford slave labor were the cotton and tobacco industries. A vast majority of the industry in the East was built using Irish/German labor. Industry in the West was with Irish/Oriental labor.
Don't act like you are out witting people when you attack them with a well thought out argument... anyone can do that. It is like reading a book, quizzing someone who you know hasn't read it, and then smirking like an asshole when of course they have no good response... I don't normally like to rip people on the internet but your a real cunt in this video man.
These situations are not analogous because you cannot use GPA points as an investment to increase your overall GPA. There is no GPA bank where you can earn interest. That is the bottom line and if you republicans disagree you are as retarded as this video.
Money and GPA are not alike in any way other than the idea that you work to attain them. If these college kids inherited their GPA from their parents, it would make a little sense, but even then it's retarded. In real life, everyone doesn't start out with a million dollars and then we let performance show how much they make over time. In reality, the poorest start with a "0.0 gpa" and the richest start with a "4.0 gpa"...just think about that.
love watching the smoke coming out libs ears and gears turning in their head for why its different,while they slowly but surely start to realize,oh yeah,thats why i'm in college and haven't ever paid taxes yet or been in the real world,maybe i've been lied to by dems my whole life that they're looking out for me,maybe repubs idea makes more sense once i've joined the real world,and why dems target college students so much 4 vote,before they had a chance to make sense of real world situations

This vid is fun, but not as good as the oliverdrcy one in a Cal State. The thing that has to be emphasized to draw the analogy out is to make the 2.0 students somehow victims of circumstance, like they have learning disabilities, or are poor, came from lesser means, may not be as smart (work really hard, but still cant get good grades). That way, the 2.0 students become more "deserving" in the mindset of liberals, while the students posed with the question STILL wont want to give up GPA points.
@gmccraley : Yes, I do wish the college republican guy had refined the point by pointing out the victim status of those with lower GPAs due to having to work while in school, less monetary support from less wealthy parents, white privilege discrimination, less opportunities for quality pre-college education, etc..
The cercumstancis whare u get hier grades then the next guy aint the point. The point is there aint equality. Leviling grades must take place. I ugree in grade point re-distabution. I always thout those bookworm nurds ware a little goofy; siting on the front roe and havin all the answers. mye 1.6 GPA coud be a 2.2. A 4.0 studant wood still have a 3.6 (if my math is rite); thats still alittle unfare but I coud live with that (as long as I coud still have some of his income later-on).
It HAS to be a different issue when it comes to money instead of grades. After all, if we admitted that they were one and the same issue, we have to be hypocrites and THAT couldn't happen! ROFLMAO!!!!!

@munkyusm actually in reality everyone starts out with 0.0 GPA, in money "life" and in class GPA, so the comparison is right on. You earn money as you go through life as you earn your GPA. Of course you'll say that some people inherit their money, to which I will tell you that 99% of all millionaires are self made millionaires and have work hard for what they earned. Good try though.
@layithen You really believe that nonsense don't you? You really believe that a child born to a crack whore in the ghetto has an equal opportunity to have a decent life as a child born to any upper middle class family from the suburbs? It's complete foolishness to believe this. My family was pretty poor and I'll admit I worked my butt off to get where I am today, but I'm still far more priveleged than the bottom. My parents were still able to scrape up enough to help me big time at times.
@munkyusm Well, if the child is willing to do whatever it takes to succeed than, yes. Just because a kid goes to a bad school doesn't mean his educational opportunities can be limited; ever hear of a library? By the way, doesn't the last half of your comment just prove that hard work does, in fact, pay off? Why should things you work hard for go to those who don't work hard? Makes no sense.
@repserves I was lower middle class, a lot of families aren't as priveleged as I was. I was lucky to have a great public school system that stressed critical thinking and parents who stayed on me. What about the kids that don't have this luxury? Lack of money is only part of the problem, it's lack of decent parents, and a lack of resources that ultimately leads to many of these kids growing up to not be decent parents either and propagate the cycle.
@munkyusm I'm happy to hear you worked hard and actually made something of yourself. If people work as hard as you did this country would probably be in better shape. Than you wouldn't have to worry about limited education in underprivileged communities. Thus, you just proved my point.
@repserves So you honestly think that there's such thing as no one living in an underprivileged community? This is the biggest flaw in logic that I've ever heard. The entire point of this system is that there are haves and have nots. There will always be underprivileged people in this system.
you should re-edit the video, take out the guy explaining the fake petition over and over, just show him explain it once then cut to all the people's reactions, interesting otherwise
