curing it. They …
curing it. They haven’t questioned the minimum wage law which prices low skilled workers out of the labor market. If progressives are so great for minorities why is it that the population of black people has declined so much in San Francisco (a progressive center) over the years? They have never questioned affirmative action which artificially increases the number of minorities in certain institutions while not addressing the root problems that create the need for such programs.
Pretending that …
Pretending that race doesn’t exist. When did prager say that? He said that people should be treated equally. That black people should not be treated differently because of the color of their skin. What have the progressives done that has benefited disadvantaged minorities? They havent’t stood up to the teachers unions so we can give poor people the opportunity to get out of their rotten public schools. They haven’t questioned their welfare policies which have excacerbated poverty instead of
If voters determine …
If voters determine the elected candidates and the elected candidates control the gov’t therefore the voters control the gov’t. Its like X=1,Y=1 hence X=Y…
voting doesn’t mean …
voting doesn’t mean you control the gov’t. It’s the people you vote into office. some candidates advocate for tax cuts and less gov’t control and intervention, and others opposite
You are at sea! …
You are at sea! when you vote you control the gov’t, lobbists control the govt.
“It (govt) should be involved as little as possible in our lives” I agree with you! what are you willing to cut?
No one should be ” …
No one should be “controlling” the government. It should be involved as little as possible in our lives so that we can so that we will be able to become as successful as the amount of work we put into becoming successful
When liberals talk …
When liberals talk about inequality we are talking about inequality in the law and opportunities…
Who said anything about defeating the government… Liberals use laws which are enacted by the govt to antagonize societal injustices. Who should be controlling the govt?
first, I didn’t see …
first, I didn’t see him make any such comments comparing socialism to inequality (inequality of what?) and second, I don’t understand why you are talking about defeating and controlling the government
Prager said he very …
Prager said he very very briefly thought about the idea of running for president. He needs to freaking run! i would vote for him in a second. We would finally have a Republican candidate that could actually articulate his ideals.
How many lobbists …
How many lobbists in washington lobby for the poor? The rich do not need help to defeat the gov’t because they control the gov’t via lobbying and campaign fund raising. Secondly, prager is trying to compare socialism to inequality thats why he’s a pile of pus…..
yeah so I think …
yeah so I think you’re basically on the same page as Prager. He’s saying that there are many, especially the poorer people, who wan t the rich taxed heavily. Most rich people did not become rich overnight. Many were very poor to start off with. There are external as well as internal factors at work, and money doesn’t solve these things, but it would be nice to receive free money wouldn’t it?
Equality of wealth …
Equality of wealth is socialism. I do not want Bill Gates money, I want the same opportunities Bill Gates was afforded.
well you said many …
well you said many different things so I can’t respond to all. I’llI just say a few brief things to hopefully clarify this video. Mr. Prager does not believe in equality of wealth, but equal opportunity to earn what you work for, which goes along with what you said “job…college…judge me on my competency period”. Unethical businesses should be stopped, and they will, because people and the news expose them, which hurt the business and they end up going bankrupt
enlighten me!
enlighten me!
you almost had an …
you almost had an argument going, but didn’t really respond to what Prager said. Plus you added that he is a pile of pus, which gives me and other people reason to disregard your opinions
So people who speak …
So people who speak accented english are not bright. FYI: Your english IS accented. Ask the british.
Economic inequality: Remember the gilded era, were the american workers jealous? Weren’t they fighting for simple issues like a 8hr work day and lunch breaks? Mr. prager! you are a pile of pus. All minorities want is the likelihood that the bigot business owner or admissions officer can atleast look at my job or college application. Judge me based on my competency period.
The part that made …
The part that made me laugh, is when this progressive dude said “we believe that goverment programs, *when* run right, can in many cases be better than private programs.
I laughed so hard!!
Notice the qualifiers? “When” and “Can”?
That’s because there is NO KNOWN case in practice that has EVER worked out, lol. I love how socialists use arguments like “may, might, could, should, would”…
Why? Because they know marxism/big-goverment has never worked outside of theory. EVER.
Dennis prager …
Dennis prager clearly won this debate again. Without having to use statistics which he could have easily done he defeated this mans statistical dilema, and he is purley paying his dues to socialism. All his points and supposed counter points are socialism.
wow i just read …
wow i just read that rebuttal and… +1 you sir!!!
How many times have …
How many times have liberals changed their names? They were liberals, leftest, now progressives. what’s next nuance party?
Wow this guy is …
Wow this guy is brilliant and so on cue. I can’t believe that anyone has the nerve to state that the other guy won this debate. So much logic in this guys statements, conservatives fight evil this is true, you can’t fight every evil but you choose your evil, which democrats choose not to.
Thumbs up!
Thumbs up!
