I really thought it would be more controversial.

The fact it got pulled or the subject matter?  All this is SO 2011, and Occupy related.  This is all about Occupy.  Pretty much everyone got the income inequality thing, and it is discussed off and on now, with it a being a key part.  Another discussion connecting to it is pretty much old hat.  In short, it is boring to bring it up.  As for TED, it is known, but not too many people care about  it.  They care about specific topics, but TED not releasing things?  Not too many care.  I do see TYT made a point of it in one of their broadcasts.   

Well, what you have now, on the whole, is Mitt Romney will be an incarnation of this income inequality debate, and what he did or failed to do at Bain Capital.  There will be focus on job creation, as was seen here, and what policies work or not.  It is a major piece of the upcoming presidential election period.  But, beyond this, not sure people would care much to go into it.  And this is videogame forum, so people are mainly waiting E3.

What's missed is the reason TED originally didn't want to post it was because well... it was full of a lot of cherrypicking statistics and poorly made arguements.

Worth noting the guy who didn't want to release it actually agrees with the guy who made the video.  He just thinks his arguements in argueing the point were full of hugeass holes.

It's the kind of arguement/presentation that is so poor it actually hurts the point it's trying to facilitate bought only by those who have already "bought in" and couldn't be convinced otherwise no matter how poor it was.


Here is the real deal. Your arguments are always poorly constructed and most don't even take you seriously. So you points have been disproven so many time in the past, that really I think your the cherry picker and always use bad statistics. 1980 we started giving tax breaks to the  rich. This is factual data. your whole argument proven wrong. However talking to a right winger that can't see facts is like talking to a wall. Never going to happen.
