'trickle down economics does not work'
Nobody calls it that.
...
Okay but since there are people that call it that
Don't you wanna delete your post?
I feel like you do now.
Knowing that plenty of people have used that term
Who calls it that?
That's a pejorative
I did not expect to be asked that today, so I don't have a source ready to tell you.
All I have is "Plenty"
Holy shit.
It was used endlessly during the bailout.
And no, not just as a pejorative.
It was coined during Reagans tenure
You think SJW was always a pejorative too?
No.
Feminists made that up themselves.
They LIKED IT.
Trickle down economics was the same way.
Don't be simple.
The main issue with the video is that he argues all basic ideas and brings in numbers at the start but never expands upon anything he says.
"UBI has increased entrepenuer ship everywhere its been tried"
Citation needed
"UBI hasnt increased inflation at all but if it does thats a good thing because you need inflation"
No countries, programs or years mentioned at all
I'd be impressed with both of you if you gave him any ground at all.
On **anything** he says.
Well, we don't take things at face value.
He's saying so many different things. Are ALL of them retarded? 9_9
We prefer facts and evidence
He also misrepresents factors that contribute to inflation
Im willing to pass over facts in philosophical areas or rights questions
Okay I have a page of complaints about the video. It's poorly argued rhetoric that grossly misunderstands the problems it describes
Beeman! You can't argue against it!
But in the history of humanity literally every econmic system has been tried at one point or another. Data from these countries should be readily avilable even if its integrity is questionable

The thing you're doing.
