@tangledweb79 So if you were a small business owner, you'd pay a 16 year old kid $20/hr to work a cash register? What if he can only contribute $12 an hour of value?

The youth unemployment rate is heavily correlated to min wage. Massachusetts saw the min wage jump 88% (pre-adjustment for inflati...

@jrsub3 and by bad, I mean bed.

@jrsub3 would be asked a serious question on how they intend on using their education after school. For a lot of them, I'd recommend taking an entry level job in something like sales, accounts payable, etc (there's still plenty of small companies who will hire someone with the base knowledge they...

@Itugen88 Football + Obama-bashing...there's hope for America yet!

pitbulls are only dangerous when raised poorly. I know plenty of people w/ pitbulls that are as gentle and friendly as any bulldog I had (also a very friendly breed). They get a bad rep because a lot of people who raise pitbulls, raise them to be mean.

391 people have no soul

@MortimerTheClueless Let me guess, you go to the formerly GE-owned MSNBC for your news?

The same GE that got in bed w/ the federal government and won loads of subsidies for its projects?

Wake up, it's government that allows corporations to grow without providing a service to people, not market m...

Looks like the questions about who these rebels are were legit.

I get that seeing that bastard Gaddafi fall was nice, but who the hell is in charge now?

You think Billie Joe Armstrong has a rational thought in his head? Green Day was effin dead until they realized that they could make millions by bashing George Bush and Republicans.

South American comparison:

Chile has "evil capitalism". The result is 3% inflation, 11.5% of people below poverty, and 8.2% unemployment, as well as over 8% growth in the first half of 2011.

Venezuela, also resource rich, has a "for the people" government. Result: 23% inflation, 28% below poverty...

You forgot the big reason why Buffett pays so little in tax relative to his income is because he earns his money in capital gains, not salary like us.

So he's either

1) Supporting a raise in taxes on a form of income he doesn't collect much of, disproportionately hurting upper-middle class peop...

I can rap that fast...

If you speed my talking up by about 50x.

@Proemed And you're ignoring the central point of the video: by pumping more money into the hands of consumers, prices inevitably go up. There's no need to compete on price.

And once again, you're lying. College was NEVER only accessible to "the rich". The gifted were always able to access colle...

@achilles6822 Yeah, that's an awful system and it's kept by military fanatics.

Most people I know who graduate ROTC programs are good young men and women, but that doesn't mean they are ready to lead. Of course, the meritocracy is alive and well in the military.

@ChuckieGunter Like not voting for politicians that promise debt-fueled gifts for your votes?

The recessions were both caused by bad monetary policy; the 20's was an unnatural boom fueled by loose lending in a fractional reserve system.

Not to mention you neglect things like income mobility in ...

@thedebateroom Ad hominem attack: check

Nonsensical point: check

Weird question: check

Perfect leftist response.

There is a huge difference between a CEO and a worker. Are you arguing that a person w/ 20+ years of business experience, and knowledge of a marketplace, deserves the same compensatio...

@prussell66 We need more regulation to prevent greed from exploiting the people!!!!

Oh man I can't stay in Obama zombie mode for long w/out laughing.

So technological advancement is bad?

If you agree with Obama here, I'd advice you to sell your vehicles, TV's, computers, video game consoles, and any other modern luxury. Think of all the buggy drivers, radio DJ's, typewriter repairmen, comic book store owners, etc, who have been put out of work...

And God sought to punish the devilish NY team for stealing Patrick Ewing from the little Indiana team, and did so in the form of Reggie Miller.

@qm1qm1 Given I'm a Statistician, I can tell you that the data on climate change is fuzzy at best. There is no control group, only time series analysis. And as shown in "Apocalypse? No!", the graphs are gerrymandered anyway to make things look far more drastic than they really are.

We are defini...

My question to the FAIR tax crowd is this: How do we actually acquire a revenue stream? If people can work here to avoid income tax, and then buy goods and services elsewhere, where the 20-30% hike (for federal and state income tax) isn't in effect, wouldn't this be potentially devastating to our...

Thomas Sowell is great. Peter Robinson is an excellent interviewer, too; he knows how to ask questions that get interesting answers.

@jrsub3 This being federal/state/local.

@MrMutualism Exploitation is a subjective term and can be applied to any level, from advocating for laws against a corporation employing a mentally challenged man for janitorial work at $3/hr to advocating for things like forced unionization. Hell, if I want to use the term as liberally as possib...
