Youtube as a whole is far bigger and more powerful than any of them or even all of them combined, because of exactly what you just said, anyone can post a video and get recognition. For every star, there are thousands upon thousands willing to take their place and play according to Youtube’s rules. On the other hand,…

This seems like a bit of a reach. Youtube was doing just fine before any of these dipshits showed up; they may have fostered more of a community, but Youtube would be just fine without these guys. Empirically, I use Youtube for funny videos and music to listen to at work, and the occasional video to watch while under…

Capitalism has ALWAYS been an issue. Well you’re talking to a black girl and to be really real. I’m super over this attitude from other black women when other black women, who have nothing against them are ready to throw them into the fire, if we say anything against their precious beyonce. And to take to the next, I…

but what if you used that 240 billion to open up a series of free trade schools, with dorms and cafeterias, that would allow people to learn a trade and not have to worry about a roof or food while attending.

1. so giving 45 million people an extra $5000 dollars will change their life that much?

As always, the poor want YOUR money, too, Hamilton.

How does that reinvestment make its way back down?

Except that’s the entire point of taxes. The company pays back into society for all those privileges through state and federal income tax. It’s not like they’re just getting a free ride. They’re paying workers and training fees and insurance and utilities etc. etc. etc. I understand the basic concept, but again,…

You don’t know what you are talking about. the vast majority of money received by billionaires is reinvested. the idea that they are a bunch of Scrooge Mcducks hoarding away all their money is a complete lie. I had to do a research paper just last year and all evidence shows that the amount of capital kept on hand…

Guarantee that wherever you work some millionaire or billionaire has capital invested in that Company, thus allowing the Company to exist and continue to pay you your salary

You disagree with his approach because Hamno is a moron writing for a blog site and hasn’t ever had to run a business in his life.

A moral argument works very well. Hillary did not make that. She made a “I’m reasonable he’s scary” argument.

The primary fallacy in this argument is this though: This assumes that the person in question didn’t also pay in to the roads, to the schools, to the police and the fire department. They paid in as well. So, negating that, it boils back down to the same thing. I should have their money because I want it.

Well, if we’re going to be honest here, when she “hoards” her billions of dollars that money she doesn’t prevent that money from existing. It’s not in a massive coffee can buried in the yard. That money is banked and invested, and others are able to take advantage of that capital to do things like buy homes and build…

You think the Walton’s keep their money in secret vaults somewhere waiting for inflation? No. That money is, in large measure, invested in new companies, ideas and ventures. How else do you think she gets richer. Its not simply by sitting back, she puts the money to work making more money. Sure, some of it is in…

It’s not a zero-sum, either-or world, Nolan. Museums contribute to the collective good and cultural enlightenment of humanity, and the homeless can obtain a vodka-choco-tini and chicken-pesto panini at the Met Roof Garden for $39.50. All thanks to the generosity of billionaires.

But some of us don’t really like socialism. And we’re not even billionaires. Or even millionaires.

Yes.

Let’s make a deal. Get rid of every unnecessary government agency, expenditure, subsidy, tax break and handout. Basically cut everything that is not essential to the operation of the federal government. Then, get rid of/stop enforcing laws that don’t need to exist. Use the budget surplus to pay off some of the…
