Social welfare programs make up a large portion of the budget. Also, they never said they wouldn't cut entitlements. They said there will be reform, however, people on them right now will not see cuts. Kyle, as usual, reveals his intellectual dishonest. How about you debate Shapiro you spineless punk.

Kyle is an idiot. No wonder he doesn't want to debate Shapiro or Crowder.

Wealth and income are not the same.

Nick Wood, that article that was linked said we had a surplus in SS when hardcore leftists like Bernie Sanders even admits that it is running out of money. That is why he wants to raise taxes. Also, Johnny Dylan is correct, you can Google anything and find any source that says anything.

"Johnny Dylan false. Military spending accounts for 52 percent" Defense spending is 16% of total spending, you have to get basic facts right before you can move on to opinions.

People who vote republican are well off financially.

Not you to decide if Paul Ryan is fired or not, that is up to his voters. This is why I support more local government, you control politicians more.

Jeffery Brown, in order to "progress" you have to "reform", period. Creating SS was a type of economic "reform". So based on what you are saying SS was not positive at all.

Andrew Mildenberg, I criticize republicans a lot. However, these days democrats are radicals. And on this channel Kyle and his fans are radicals. I am giving a moderate approach here, not defending republicans. "One, entitlement programs ARE NOT WELFARE. Entitlement programs are things you EARN by WORKING. " I earned money while working. Why should the government tax it now only to give it back to me later if I happen to reach the age of 65? "Social security is paid into throughout the entirety of your working adult life, you are OWED that money." Or they can let me keep it, ever thought of that as an argument? "Two, Welfare programs ARE NOT the biggest part of our budget" Actually it is. SS, medicare, unemployment, etc. make up around 60% of our budget.

"They said that reforms aren't always good, not that they're always bad. Learn how to read." I saw that, I can read very well. But I can also turn that against them. What makes this "reform" bad?
1
ch33tos sesh, that article said SS has a surplus. Immediately it is wrong.
1
Pat McCrotch, compare that to the overall poverty rate. Poverty was dropping prior to SS.
1
Pat McCrotch, your sources don't help you much. Looking at the second one "Before Social Security, in 1934, roughly one half of seniors were estimated to be poor." Lack of citation aside (funny how you don't question this blog for lack of citations), official numbers for poverty are hard to come by at that time. However, from the book "It's Getting Better All the Time" and this source http://www.friesian.com/stats-2.htm The poverty rate at that time was around 50 to 60 percent for everyone. As the poverty rate of them drop so did the poverty rate of old people. This is a simple case of correlation does not equal causation. And the correlation is week as poverty was dropping for everyone, not just the old.
1
Pat, again, why are you not questioning your sources that lack citations?
1
Pat McCrotch, I did read them. You didn't see me quote one of them?

84% of funding for schools are state and local and most of infrastructure is local. Mentality of democrats=We don't understand government and the financial situation so we compare local programs like schools to federal programs.

"Why he would debate Shappiro and Crowder when the right have an overwhelm capacity to denying reality" Such as? If they are so wrong Kyle should be able to show that easily in a debate taking them down. They will lose views and Kyle will gain views. But as for Shapiro and Crowder, do you have actual examples?
1
"Ben Shapiro admited that he is okay with money in politics," As long as there is no quid pro quo it is fine. There are many ways to support a candidate. So if on person donates a bunch of money, and Kyle dedicates his channel to Bernie, what is the difference?
1
Jordan, I have on numerous occasions shown where Kyle is flat out wrong. One example is in healthcare where Kyle said there is not debate which is wrong. Professors still research the issue constantly and it is highly debatable if universal healthcare is the best option. And if it is how do you implement it? Kyle also said that no one in other countries die while waiting for "elective" care when that is 100% wrong, and I have references to prove it. On this point SS and Medicare are losing money,period. We need to reform it. Reform does not necessarily mean cut, but we need to reform it. Even far leftists like Bernie Sanders agree we need to reform it, he just wants to go the other way. On the tax cuts the republicans pass, you cannot say it will add deficit as any projections are based on current economic growth. If you cut taxes and the economy boom you do not have a deficit. On a simple term say you have economic growth of 2%, and you cut taxes in half and the economy now grows at 4%, economic growth has doubled after cutting taxes in half, thus you have a net gain and loss of zero. Kyle went on a rant about donors where I got bored as he just rambles crap. But Kyle did mention about how sly republicans are but he is a hardcore Bernie supporter. Bernie was saying in all of 2016 he was going to give people healthcare and education, but was going to only raise taxes on the rich. It took over a year and a debate against Cruz for him to finally admit he will have to raise everyone's taxes. Bernie was flat out lying all of 2016. Kyle never brings that up.

"Crowder chickened out against potholer." Not true, it was miscommunication on scheduling. Even potholer54 admitted that.
1
" Read the fucking bill... It's cuts for the rich and raises the middle-class and poor!!!! " Not true, it cuts taxes on all tax brackets.

Daniel Pierik, razorfist reviews video games for a living, not political commentary. Kyle was factually incorrect on many topics there. He debated a nobody in the political commentary world
1
Daniel Pierik, I never heard of Razorfist until that debate. Crowder gets over 100,000 views a show, and Shapiro is very well known nation wide. Kyle just passes them off as "idiots" and "stupid" when if they are that unqualified then he should have no issue debating them. So why is he avoiding them? Also, I will challenge you, point to me where Crowder and Shapiro are wrong, why? As for Kyle he was factually wrong. Near the beginning he said that no one died in other countries on waiting lists as they ration based on need. And that anyone with a critical issue gets seen quickly. That is 100% wrong. In Canada people die on waiting lists for what are considered "elective" heart surgery. Read the paper "True versus reported waiting times for valvular aortic stenosis surgery" There is a peer reviewed paper that shows Kyle is wrong. People are dying on waiting lists. Kyle hardly cited anything. The only study he cited on that issue was that Harvard study of the 45,000 a year that die which was countered by another Harvard professor. The counter argument is this, those 45,000 are poor to begin with and there is a correlation of bad health and being poor. There are higher rates of obesity, type II diabetes and smoking with the poor. So the question becomes do they die because of lack of access or due to being in bad health to begin with? It comes down to correlation does not equal causation. 45,000 is 0.01% of the population, a very small fraction of the overall population. Having an accurate assessment on why they died is extremely difficult. On top of that every system has shortcomings, as Razorfist said no country has this magic wand to solve everything. Kyle claims they did however, as studies have shown, people do die due to shortcomings in their healthcare systems. No system is ideal, period. The US does many things well in healthcare that Kyle ignores to push his propaganda. He will ignore actual studies in order to push his propaganda. Someone like Crowder and Shapiro will give counter arguments with studies making Kyle look like a fool. That is why Kyle refuses to debate them, he is scared.

People on the right agree, including current republicans.

PragerU gets a lot of views, more than Kyle.
1
Adrian Nelson, it matters. When Kyle posts a video that can easily be fact checked and shows that he is wrong, and Kyle goes cussing spree on his videos, people will no longer watch him. He cannot sell his ideas. PragerU does.
1
"PragerU is propaganda." Care to give examples?
1
" the one about the Dem party than compare it to who the party of Lincoln became the party of Trump from vox" I will have to watch it. But when you look at it republicans are about equality in the eyes of the law. Democrats are opportunists and finding victims. In the time of Lincoln southerners were being attacked thus democrats sided with them. These days democrats treat minorities as "inferiors" and "victims" and cater to them to get votes. Republicans want equality in the eyes of the laws, period. So from that alone current republicans still align with Lincoln.
1
CovfefeAddict, I watch many of Kyle's video but he still have very little views.
1
For the record I am still waiting for examples in how PragerU is wrong. Just saying they are wrong is not an argument. I need examples and reasons why they are wrong. Until then all I see is projection.
1
"The more you benefit from living in this country, " There is an argument to be made that we benefit by living with the rich. If you tax them too much they will move.

Mister Democracy, SS is running out of money, that is a fact
1
Mister Democracy, it isn't a talking point, it is a fact. Even Bernie Sanders agrees which is why he supported raising taxes to extend it. And by his own numbers it would last until around the year 2060. SS is losing money.
1
" Trump's tax plan raises taxes on anyone making $70,000 a year or less after themiddle class temporary tax breaks expire, " That is in 10 years which pressures the politicians at that time to make a decision based on current economic times. It doesn't raise taxes on anyone. "Bernie's tax increase would in the long run will save people money" A government that is $20 trillion in debt is not going to save me money. And I can manage my money just fine, just because you can't does not mean I should have to lose my money to a bunch of millionaire politicians.
1
"Even Noam Chomsky agrees that SS is an incredibly effecient program" Noam Chomsky is not an economist. "Payroll taxes..." Are the dumbest form of tax ever. It literally punishes employers who give employees raises. If employers give out higher wages they have to pay a higher tax. "However we can raise payroll taxes to maintain the "surplus" probably indefinately. " Bernie admitted that it will not last "indefinately". Even at that, this shows the problem of socialism, it works until you run out of other people's money. So say we raise the payroll tax and it extends to to 2060, then what? Raise taxes again? It is a losing battle.
1
To add on Noam Chomsky, why do so many people praise his ideas? He is a linguist, not an economist, not a historian, not a political science expert but a linguist. Do people praise him because he sounds smart? It baffles me how people are easily fooled by him.
