  1.  @lazysylph3312  , I pay taxes to receive benefits from the government. A part of that is ownership of property and doing what I want with it. A property tax prevents poor people from owning land essentially.

  2. Peach Family, usually the research is broad. It can involve technology advancement or even healthcare related.

  3. This is why leftists have a mental disorder. They are so jealous and depressed that they have to hate the rich. Two things 1. You are not poor because others are rich 2. Worry about yourself This channel has become a joke.

  4. NFL has to keep an imagine to lose fans. The face of the NFL are the players that the NFL owners pay millions to play, not get political. This is no different than a dress code at any other job.

  6. Kyle gets around 30,000 views a video. He is a nobody. Also, he just berated authors. Reading is what intellectuals do. I feel that Kyle doesn't read books at all which is why he only has talking points.

  7. Kyle is jealous. It comes down to that Shapiro actually goes out and has discussions with people. Kyle lives in his bubble and calls successful people like Shapiro stupid.

  8. It isn't on Trump. Congress creates the laws. It isn't on him if we use the cages or not.

  9. This wasn't because of the republican government but because of a virus.

  10.  @mudslinger888  , why doesn't Kyle go on Ben's Sunday show?

  11. Nice strawman. Shapiro has talked about hospitals that cater to young children at a low price. But go ahead and be like Bernie and lie.

  12. Warren is done. The Native American thing ruined her.

  13. Bernie says appeal to emotion rhetoric just to get votes. He caters to useful idiots.

  14. Crime rate has been dropping nation wide for 20 years. This is a case of correlation does not equal causation. Also, "stop and frisk" is not unconstitutional. It is inline with DUI checkpoints. How many times do DUI checkpoints fail? Why are they allowed? Because there are cases where there is a higher chance of being drunk drivers. Just like there are areas where people are more likely to have drugs and/or weapons. And when you are in public and can influence others many rights are restricted. Kyle needs to study law more.

  15. Hearing this speech it isn't surprising that Bernie lost. He is a nut.

  16.  @chrlpolk  , Kyle interrupted. That is why he didn't get much time.

  17. And what is wrong with that? There are issues with single payer healthcare.

  18. He did a terrible job. He only had talking points.

  19. @Dirtbag Leftist They are similar. These kids were disturbing a scheduled event on campus. That is illegal and is not protected by free speech. You can't disrupt schedule events like that. Ok, what if I were to stand outside of a college classroom door and yell loud distracting the class? Is that allowed?

  20.  @retop56  , Kyle is well informed? Really? And, when has Shapiro backed down from a debate?

  21.  @TheFallinhalo  , he debated members of congress.

  22.  @retop56  , Ok, first off, when have they challenged him to a debate? Ben said he is willing to have anyone on his show. Why don't they go? Also, as for your two sources, I will have to watch the video, but I read the second well thoroughly and there are many ways to counter it. First, the author says " It's easy to laugh.....at the phrase "conservative intellectual."" The author immediately dismisses anyone on the right even though there are experts on both sides. To completely dismiss a side like that is a sign of a fool. Beyond that, the author misrepresents Ben and the author misrepresents the sources he posts and the data he presents. For example, he mentions "But I’d also like to hear him explain why black men receive 20% longer sentences for the same crime as white men with similar backgrounds.)" The study he points to says on page 32 "However, the fact that certain sentencing outcomes may be correlated with demographic factors does not mean that the demographic factors caused the outcome" And explains correlation vs causation on page 41. So this author did not even read the study. There are factors that cannot be quantified such as appearance and attitude in the court room, or the environment of the local community at the time. On the second one, if crime happens to be higher than normal judges may push out harsher sentences in order to alleviate that. Or election time can play a role as well. Also, the graduation rate of blacks vs whites has a 20% gap as well. There is a correlation there. So you can't just point to a number and expect it to mean anything without proper context. The author just threw out a study where that study itself admitted correlation does not equal causation. Next the author says " But if someone shows that a white man with a criminal record is far more likely to receive a job callback than a black man without a criminal record, you’ll never hear it mentioned." Well, Shapiro has mentioned that before in another way. He mentioned the issue of the "black sounding name" not getting the call back on a job. The reason why is because when no information of the person's criminal history is given the employer has nothing to go off of except overall stats. Overall blacks are more likely to commit more crime, including violent crime, than whites. So all things equal employers will go after the white individual because statistically they are less likely to commit crimes. The same is true for that "study". A white person committing a non-violent drug crime is still less likely to commit a violent crime compared to a black person committing a non-violent drug crime. It becomes a game of statistics. When little information is given employers will find something that is known. In that case they have to go off of overall stats and the less risky person in that case will be white. Shapiro has pushed to have people release their criminal background to employers so if two individuals, one black and one white, applied to a job, and all things left equal, but the white person has a criminal history and the black doesn't, than the black person will be hired. I can go on but people who criticize Shapiro don't do it well. I suggest you actually look deeper on those sources you gave me instead of blindly following them.

  23. Because there is a lot of success in doing so. It goes beyond profits. It comes down to spreading the powers and being a good leader.

  24. Wolff is what he is, a journalist. They are there to make money, not present the truth. There have been many books written by many political figures. The idea this man and book are different is being foolish.

  25. This JuanPa guy is an idiot. These people don't see themselves as "temporary embarrassed millionaires". They see themselves as common folks that want to be left alone. When you have the left acting like elitist coming in wanting to raise their taxes on the idea to "help them", that does piss them off. They were not the ones who wanted healthcare reform. They do not want more government. They do not want higher taxes. They perceive their lives to be fine. They have no desire to be millionaires. They want to mind their own business and fuck. This JuanPa guy was clearly a loner in Oklahoma, or a fraud.

  26.  @raiogxn  what about the many politicians that supported BLM as they burnt down property, over took city blocks and killed people? That went on for months. What about the media that continue to give us deceptive information catering to one side? Trump is simply a symptom of a disease.

  27. Two things 1. "Trickle down economics" is not an economic term 2. I a lot of ways it does. I drive a better car than a rich person drove in the 60s

  28. Fun fact, that prof. is not an economist.

  29. A part of this is the fundamentalist part of the republican part is dying off. They may still be religious, but they are not hardcore religious. They accept gay marriage and accept abortion. There may be a few states that don't, but as a whole the political right is no longer overran with fundamentalist christians. That should scare the left as the fundamentalists were the radicals of the right. Now the right focuses on economic issues instead. With the radicals being the extreme, and now quiet minority of the right, the left should be scared as they now have to run on policy that actually works.

  30. So Kyle looks at one person and feels this represent the norm in society? I find it crazy that many gun control advocates like Kyle are so scared of guns even though gun murders have been dropping for years. As for him owning all those guns, he never broke any laws. People have different personalities. You can't predict if someone is going to go on a mass shooting spree.

  31. We are very safe. We have areas of high crime that skew our violent crime stats, but that is mostly gang related. I feel very safe living in the US.

  32.  @kevin6293  , one can argue this is a state of emergency. We do have an immigration problem and democrats refuse to act simply because of politics. Democrats, in the past, supported stricter immigration laws and methods of stopping them, but now they don't because their hatred towards Trump. Democrats don't vote with Trump on major issues, there is a clear bias towards him. So you have a major issue that the federal government is responsible for, immigration, and congress refusing to act due to a clear bias towards the president despite him making several deals. So at that point it is arguably a state of emergency.

  33. They weren't denying gay, the characteristics they are born with. They were denying a cake for a gay wedding, something they can control. Kyle's own argument can be used against him.

  35. Nothing wrong with that statement. Why spend that much tax dollars on foreigners? That is the point. If you give due process to non-Americans you have to pay for representation, and then a jury and a judge and so on.

  40. Taxing the rich at a higher rate does not do much. One, a lot of times they pass if of to the consumer and two, a lot of these so call "rich people" have a large portion of their wealth tied into their stocks of their company. That is why Warren Buffet supposedly pays less than his secretary.

  41. One problem that happens in CA is the influx of hispanics. They are poor and you have cases where a family has 4 or 5 kids in a two bedroom house. So zoning has it that those schools are over crowded leading to large classroom sizes like that teacher with 40 students.

  42. Why? Seder doesn't debate, he just moves the goal posts and goes "uh, um, uh". Look at his debate against Kirk. He response to tell people to "Google it".

  46. "One question is, why aren't they spending their money? Why aren't they spending money to help keep Veterans with PTSD off the street and getting the help they need? Or, even more relevantly, why aren't they paying their fair share in taxes? " To answer each question 1. They do not have as much money as you think 2. Throwing money at a program does not produce anything if there isn't anyone willing to work. You need production, not spending 3. Define "fair share". The top 10% earned 40% of the income but pay 70% of federal income taxes

  47. RandomGuy7092, rich people invest their resources, they don't waste it. Rich people did not become rich by just shootin' at some food one day and out came oil. They actually worked for their income.

  50. mrbadguysan, there will be a black market for guns. Guns are different from cars. People will buy them illegally on the idea of simply killing others. People buy cars on the idea of transportation. Law abiding citizens will follow the law, criminals won't. There are restrictions on cars but cars get robbed and sent to chop shops often.
