I like this video. It's a great point on redistributing of wealth. Whether it's redistributing our pay checks or the rich it's a bad idea. Taking money from someone else to give to someone who hasn't earned it just isn't right. Socialist's get a job or start a business. Be part of the solution instead of the problem.
They are already redistrubing pay checks. We give tax cuts to the rich, those tax cuts create debt, and common working people have to repay that debt. That is money from the pocket of working people into the pockets of the rich.
Look up Bastille Day, if you want to find out what happens to the Rich when they get too greedy.
Though I do agree the "Let them eat cake" moment is coming in America, and I fear it is coming very soon. I fear that the smell of smoke & blood will soon be in the air.
@politicalstudio Recheck my facts on the first two? You don't even critique them, yet claim they are wrong. Wow, so they are wrong because you say so.
Also, no, capitalism is part economic and a political system. The political system states the government does no more than to protect the rights of the people and to ensure that the people are safe from force. If the government is controlled by corporations and used against people, it is no longer is capitalism.
@politicalstudio Can she not have an independent mind? I came to my conclusions at a young age without influence from anyone, so was I abused by your logic.
Also, if she wants to speak, than why do you have a problem with that? Don't like free speech?
Also, you can thank capitalism for you being able to comment on Youtube on your computer in a home or apartment.
@politicalstudio The top 10% of americans have only 40.9% of america's income, and yet pay 73.7 of the income tax.
Secondly, since the period of 1996 to 2005, the poor's income has risen 109%, while the top 1% has fallen 23%, and the top 1% of 1% has fallen 65%.
Also, 'health corporations have more influence than citizens' implies that this is not a capitalist system, so you are attacking a non-capitalist system, and then claiming you are, which is a fallacy.
@TemptedMercenary883 Yes, it is sad when those who work hard to succeed are no longer recognized for their acheivements and held as examples to their peers. It is sad to let kids get away with slacking off instead of holding them accountable and teaching them responsibility and to learn from their mistakes.
actually, you can inherit GPA. Smart people, are much more likely to have smart children. Disciplined people are much more likely to have disciplined children. And (I don't think I have to spell this out) there is a direct correlation between intelligence and GPAs and discipline and GPAs.
You're right about that. "Smart" (academically successful) people are more likely to have kids who are also academically successful. But, that is partially because people who make more money are able to live in areas with better schools. If you have not seen it already, I would recommend watching John Stossel's "Stupid in America".
I think it's difficult to make a compelling argument that equates work or intelligence directly to success. It's not that simple.
A person who grows up in poverty needs a lot more "discipline" to be successful than a person born to a wealthy family does.
When you say that there is a direct correlation between intelligence and GPA, I feel like you're really oversimplifying things. Not all teachers are equally capable, not all schools are equally providing. Kids in school do not have equal opportunity.
Of course, it just gets more complicated after the kids graduate.
You need to back your statement up with something for it to start making sense.
Are you saying that we can't agree that it's easier to do well in a class with a teacher who is proficient at teaching than in a class with a teacher who is not? If you are, then why?
Of course, if we can agree on that then we should also agree that opportunity in unequal.
Are you/have you ever been a student? I'm a college student, and I know the quality of my teachers is important to me.
you wrote "actually, you can inherit GPA. Smart people, are much more likely to have smart children."
Can you explain that more? Also, How are you defining "smart"?
In the summer, both ice cream sales and murder rates go up. Your above statement sounds to me like saying that ice cream and murder are related to each-other.
Are you saying intelligence (IQ?) is both genetically inheritable and directly correlates to GPA?
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.
@munkyusm You can't inherit GPA, but you can have advantages over others when it comes to school. If you don't have to work to pay for school/rent you clearly have an advantage over those that do. Why is it so different to ask them to drop .2 so that someone who has to spend the majority of their free time working 2 jobs can have a slightly better GPA and give them a leg-up in finding a job after graduating?
@mattwc93 I'm confused at your argument here...i'm comparing gpa to money. I'm not trying to hypothetically decide if gpa can literally be divided like that. It's not a real law that legislation is trying to pass, this was a hypothetical idea proposed by conservatives to try to mess with liberal's heads.
this young woman DOES think for herself,thats why she's making points ahead of her time that would make her 6th graders(whose lib parents have truly brainwashed by telling them all repubs are greedy ceo's,redneck,bible bashing,gun toting etc etc,yeah thats a set up for a lifetime of intelligent debate).. say "whhhaaat"?(giggle)"like thats totally not even in our curriculum,shes sooo not cool"..funny how true rebellion lies w/conservatives,and status quo w/ the daily show/family guy naive crowd

@cykoaudio777 Give me a break, as if liberals are not talked about so poorly. We're the hippy, don't want to work, gay-loving, black-loving, communist scum that you're so afraid of. True rebellion does NOT lie with conservatism. For, you want the status quo maintained forever. You want everything to be like the good old days, and we want change. Do you remember which side conservatives were on during the civil rights movement? Go look it up.
first of all ppl,its just an "analogy",which means its not exactly the same thing, you court jester libs...2cd its an excellent analogy because students who want rich ppl give more of their (over 90%of millionaires either built it themselves or had to work hard or smart to keep it) wealth,always give the same argument why they shouldn't give up their gpa points, "i earned it" I worked hard for it",u can see the lib gears turning in their head,smoke from their ears why its not same thing
@cykoaudio777 whatever, normally if you do an analogy you're trying to prove a point by using a different example. If it's not the same example, then it's not a valid analogy. It's comparing apples to oranges, that's why alot of those students had so much trouble trying to explain why "it's different". After more than :30 seconds thought without an interviewer in your face, it becomes very obvious why it's different.
nice!! This girl's parents deserve a medal. It is great to see a kid learning not to think for herself so young! Keep it up, you could be the next Alaskan governor!
kindofbluenyc Are you nuts. The government in 1776 created this country where the middle class was created and grown in a system where people fend for themselves and then look after their family and friends. The STATE you are wanting us to model is a socialist government where the people had the greatest loss of middle class and there was the greatest gap between the ruling party (rich) and the extreme poor. These are the facts. Try as you may to deny them and lie them away.
@cyrilturner The founding fathers also warned us of what would happen if we allowed the bankers to run the economy. The disparity of wealth, well being and upward mobility in this country would be appalling to the founding fathers. Transferring the power to the private sector as we have been slowly allowing to happen at the hands of both parties is akin to the worst type of socialism. Except when the power is outside the government there is no accountability to the constitution or democracy.
@cyrilturner I don't see why the definition of a socialist society has to be that everyone's dirt poor while a few are filthy rich. It's just a neanderthal way to think of it. I would say that we live in that society right now...400 people in this country have more wealth than 155 million other people. I think the wealth has already been redistributed?
Her argument fails -- only because the government will redistribute scores of video games as well, so even switching from schoolwork to playing games won't help. :-D
Wow! Libertarian Child Porn as propaganda. Poor kid, brainwashed and forced to say things she doesn't even understand. Kids shouldn't get competitive grades until their are out of grammar school, nor should they compete on their own until they have become competent and literate.
We know that in the Adult Learning environment, cheating and sexual attraction are the largest factors in GPA. That seems very similar to amassing financial wealth doesn't it?
@TheGr8H8 : So, I have a simple, sincere question. How does working hard and thus earning a higher income differ from working hard and thus earning a higher GPA?
@rippinsteo Wealth is not always an indication of working hard. Many people inherit money. Some marry into money. Having money does not always mean you worked "hard" for it. And it's not as though the government is handing money to people. Its trying to create a structure we're the environment it better for all. We could go into a system were everyone fends for self, but the gap between the rich and the poor would grow. This would create a hostile environment that no one would want to live.
@rippinsteo the general reasoning behind taxing high wages is that after a certain point, high income becomes 'excessive' and unnecessary. People do not feel bad about taking from those that already have more than enough. There is no way to compare this with GPA which is simply a measurement of your ability to do well in school. There is no such thing as 'excessive' GPA and there is no such thing as having 'too much' GPA. Therefore, if you try to make an analogy, you just look stupid.
@jsssm : Sorry, failing to see the direct analogy is what makes you look stupid. In general, earning a higher GPA takes work and ability. So does earning a higher income. Both grades and money are mediums of exchange. And what brand of arrogance does it require for you or anyone else to decide that someone else has earned too much or has enough?! Taxation is a necessary evil as is the government it supports.
Silly girl, socialist redistribution ideals support work. It goes people who are capable of working and do work are supported and those that can and don't work when options are available are not supported.
@HearingEveryRhyme If this were completely true what you say, we would have about a 15% tax rate across the board. Most redistribution goes to the lazy.
@cevansroxy That is because our redistribution is not socialist, it is stupid. Unemployment is great, and welfare has its uses, but there are too many cheats imo. Socialists believe that those who are willing to work and who do work should be compensated and taken care of, and those who can work but have no options should be supported until a job comes up. Socialists support the worker, not the lazy bum. Dems aren't socialist, just as most Tea Party folk aren't libertarian in most sectors.
Except it completely cripples the incentive to try/ study. I get a 4.0 in all my classes, and the professor decides to average out the class grades- thus eliminating the bell curve, AND THE INCENTIVE for me to spend 15 hours at the library every week just so I can get a "C" in the class. Ultimately, it reduces the overall performance (see:class average), because your 4.0's stop caring.
@stevegarrison Go do some research on socialism, the gifted are rewarded with different jobs. Socialists don't think that idiots should be physicists.The incentive for you is that you will be provided for when you work hard, and you will be rewarded when you work extra hard. Socialism isn't about making everyone it equal, it is about making sure that everyone is provided for and is thus equal via support.
Your example fails on many levels. I specifically said that slackers aren't provided for.
@HearingEveryRhyme And where does this Utopia exist? Anywhere? Anywhere? . . . Didn't think so. But keep doing the same thing and expecting different results . . . oh . . . isn't that the definition of insanity?! Socialist idealism is a mental disorder . . . clearly.
@usrevolution2 That is like saying that since there was no eight hour work day at the start of the Industrial revolution, people shouldn't have fought for it. You make it sound like Cuba, the USSR, N Korea, and China are all the same. First off, China seems to have struck a better balance than we have. Soon their poor will rise as well, and then we'll see which system is superior. China is vastly different from the USSR, but you probably have never studied collectivism.
@HearingEveryRhyme I've lived in China and Russia. Think you should too before you talk about how great their system is. I respectfully suggest you don't know what you're talking about. The only folks who promote Socialism are the ones who never really lived in a socialist/communist country or the "party elite" rulers who benefit from keeping the masses poor, while they are more equal than others.
@FabiusMaximus1000 Well, anarcho-socialists and anarcho-communists did. Truthfully, China has a huge chance of going bust with the system they are using. Personally, I prefer progressive ideals, but since so many people call them socialist, I end up defending socialism,which is not my aim. Right now we see Republicans running around shouting that the sky is falling and that we must cut cut cut, yet they keep proposing all sorts of tax cuts for the wealthy and bonuses for corporations.
@FabiusMaximus1000 Your question is : Are you suggesting that communism created the 8 hour work day?
The eight-hour day movement in the United States was championed by both native and foreign laborers. In Chicago, where some of the most violent crackdowns on protests took place, the movement was led by anarcho-socialists, anarcho-communists, etc. After Spies took over the Arbeiter-Zeitung, it was used to catapult the movement forward.
@HearingEveryRhyme I actually wasn't referring to communists in the US, since we never really had a communist government. Sure there are anarchist trouble makers just as much as there are communist, and nazi trouble makers in the US. What I meant at it's core, communism doesn't allow for "workers rights" in the countries of it's origins. If so, my fathers brother wouldn't have died in a Russian labor camp.

@AppleKnowsBest 2010 will be the proof of many of the conspiracy theories, like Global Warming being a fraud to redistribute wealth. Turns out Global Warming was a scam to redistribute wealth.
You have a right to be mad. You have a right to feel like the system is failing. The truth however is not that the Democrats are scammers. The truth is that there is a false Left/Right paradigm which is fooling you. George Bush put this country into these illegal and unwinnable wars. Obama is just continuing the failed policy. Clinton repealed Glass Steagel. Bush and Obama are simply following suit. Both parties are slaves to corporate interests. It matters not who's in office.
IS IT TIME?! Go to USRevolution2 (dot com) and get your flag of the Second American Revolution. Theyre made in America and look exactly like the flag of Betsy Ross with a Roman numeral II in the center of the 13 stars. This flag is now in all 50 states and spreading from porch to porch and theyre only $19.95 plus shipping and handling.
But I'm a freeloading loser who does not want to study like you do, I just want to lay around and let the government give me what you work hard for! What is the problem with that?

Silly girl, socialist redistribution ideals support work. It goes people who are capable of working and do work are supported and those that can and don't work when options are available are not supported.

@HearingEveryRhyme If this were completely true what you say, we would have about a 15% tax rate across the board. Most redistribution goes to the lazy.
cevansroxy 1 year ago
@cevansroxy That is because our redistribution is not socialist, it is stupid. Unemployment is great, and welfare has its uses, but there are too many cheats imo. Socialists believe that those who are willing to work and who do work should be compensated and taken care of, and those who can work but have no options should be supported until a job comes up. Socialists support the worker, not the lazy bum. Dems aren't socialist, just as most Tea Party folk aren't libertarian in most sectors.

Except it completely cripples the incentive to try/ study. I get a 4.0 in all my classes, and the professor decides to average out the class grades- thus eliminating the bell curve, AND THE INCENTIVE for me to spend 15 hours at the library every week just so I can get a "C" in the class. Ultimately, it reduces the overall performance (see:class average), because your 4.0's stop caring.

@stevegarrison Go do some research on socialism, the gifted are rewarded with different jobs. Socialists don't think that idiots should be physicists.The incentive for you is that you will be provided for when you work hard, and you will be rewarded when you work extra hard. Socialism isn't about making everyone it equal, it is about making sure that everyone is provided for and is thus equal via support.
Your example fails on many levels. I specifically said that slackers aren't provided for.

@HearingEveryRhyme And where does this Utopia exist? Anywhere? Anywhere? . . . Didn't think so. But keep doing the same thing and expecting different results . . . oh . . . isn't that the definition of insanity?! Socialist idealism is a mental disorder . . . clearly.

@usrevolution2 That is like saying that since there was no eight hour work day at the start of the Industrial revolution, people shouldn't have fought for it. You make it sound like Cuba, the USSR, N Korea, and China are all the same. First off, China seems to have struck a better balance than we have. Soon their poor will rise as well, and then we'll see which system is superior. China is vastly different from the USSR, but you probably have never studied collectivism.
HearingEveryRhyme 1 year ago
@HearingEveryRhyme I've lived in China and Russia. Think you should too before you talk about how great their system is. I respectfully suggest you don't know what you're talking about. The only folks who promote Socialism are the ones who never really lived in a socialist/communist country or the "party elite" rulers who benefit from keeping the masses poor, while they are more equal than others.

@HearingEveryRhyme Are you suggesting that communism created the 8 hour work day?
FabiusMaximus1000 10 months ago
@FabiusMaximus1000 Well, anarcho-socialists and anarcho-communists did. Truthfully, China has a huge chance of going bust with the system they are using. Personally, I prefer progressive ideals, but since so many people call them socialist, I end up defending socialism,which is not my aim. Right now we see Republicans running around shouting that the sky is falling and that we must cut cut cut, yet they keep proposing all sorts of tax cuts for the wealthy and bonuses for corporations.

@FabiusMaximus1000 Your question is : Are you suggesting that communism created the 8 hour work day?
The eight-hour day movement in the United States was championed by both native and foreign laborers. In Chicago, where some of the most violent crackdowns on protests took place, the movement was led by anarcho-socialists, anarcho-communists, etc. After Spies took over the Arbeiter-Zeitung, it was used to catapult the movement forward.

@HearingEveryRhyme I actually wasn't referring to communists in the US, since we never really had a communist government. Sure there are anarchist trouble makers just as much as there are communist, and nazi trouble makers in the US. What I meant at it's core, communism doesn't allow for "workers rights" in the countries of it's origins. If so, my fathers brother wouldn't have died in a Russian labor camp.

@AppleKnowsBest 2010 will be the proof of many of the conspiracy theories, like Global Warming being a fraud to redistribute wealth. Turns out Global Warming was a scam to redistribute wealth.

@usrevolution2
You have a right to be mad. You have a right to feel like the system is failing. The truth however is not that the Democrats are scammers. The truth is that there is a false Left/Right paradigm which is fooling you. George Bush put this country into these illegal and unwinnable wars. Obama is just continuing the failed policy. Clinton repealed Glass Steagel. Bush and Obama are simply following suit. Both parties are slaves to corporate interests. It matters not who's in office.

IS IT TIME?! Go to USRevolution2 (dot com) and get your flag of the Second American Revolution. Theyre made in America and look exactly like the flag of Betsy Ross with a Roman numeral II in the center of the 13 stars. This flag is now in all 50 states and spreading from porch to porch and theyre only $19.95 plus shipping and handling.
