Brion Foulke I don't know man, if Ben can beat someone so bad that the opponent's channel 'loses' their livestream after Ben brings up a jaw-smacking point, I'd say it was that bad.

[@chicoloco341]

Brion Foulke Ben was cruel to pick on a guy half his IQ. This was brutal. Cenk thought this was his show where he could play with his own tone and sarcastically accuse his opponent via childish repetition. He effectively called Cenk and his show a hooker utilizing his own argument. Savage.

[@Maytag99]

+Matal No I don't agree, I think it was a pretty even debate. Ben didn't actually do that well, and some of his points kind of fell flat. The same is true of Cenk, but he has his strong moments as well. The hooker comment was a nice zinger, but I don't think it had much meaning.

[@chicoloco341]

Brion Foulke Deep down, I expected a greater smack down than the performance that Shapiro put on. That said, even with my liberal hat on, I would say 50% of the debate went in Shapiro's favor, about 20 to Cenk with the remainder pretty even or going to neither. I just don't see the even score man. Cenk's message delivery falls apart as he tries to scrap together a coherent argument. His identity politics rebuttal is painful to watch. He screams "it's called America. Usa. Usa. Usa."

To the point where saying Google it is synonomous to saying... Research it. Cenk did provide facts and explained them. But in a debate obviously you are verbally saying those facts.... Not showing them directly... So he is saying if you doubt what I am saying just research it and see it for yourself. that doesn't take away from his points and argument at all.

he borrowed a page out of Ann Coulters playbook and he called them uneducated because they seemed unfamiliar with the concept of money getting more or less recycled in the economy depending, maybe they should grow some skin because facts dont care about your emotions.

[@philrobertson2705]

The concept he proposed was preposterous. I will say, I haven't heard it described in detail, only as Cenk defined it (feel free to post a link with better detail, I couldn't find one).

[@boggisthecat]

Phil Robertson It is extremely simple. If you give money to wealthy people they will 'invest' it -- and this may, or may not, lead to economic improvement. If you give money to poor people they will spend it -- this means that the money flows through the economy immediately.

[@philrobertson2705]

boggistthecat - Wouldn't it be better to give companies the money to invest in additional workers and higher wages which can then be subject to payroll taxes, puts people to work, increases GDP, personal wealth growth, and spurs innovation rather than just giving handouts to those who do not produce while maintaining a safety net for those who cannot?

[@redgeneral5792]

Except that doesn't happen. They don't invest in workers anymore. Their goal, naturally, is the bottom-line, even it means cutting corners. They invest in outsourcing production to countries with people that will accept lower wages and work conditions, technology to replace humans with automation, and lower wages and hours for workers that are still clinging on to their payrolls. There has been very little innovative progress, since companies rarely take risks like they used to. Instead, they rely on tiny improvements on a proven system for steady revenue. Sure smaller startups may drive the progress of innovation, but they just get gobbled up by older, bigger, and richer corporations that don't know what to do with it and squander it. Look at Apple. Ever since Steve Jobs died, the company hasn't really come out with anything really new. Its basically the same old phone with new bells and whistles. No real radical changes in the last few years, aside from the Apple Watch

You don't understand TYT. They are all about AIR-TIME, not being right. They know that there's no such thing as bad publicity, which is why they have been spamming up KZbin since the site went up around 2006. Cenk realized that there's no limit to how much video-content he can upload, and that you can't win an argument against someone who uploads more content in an hour than there are hours in a DAY... there will always be an armhy of idiots who eat it up. Then he sponsored his KZbin content, so that it would spam up everone's sidebar with recommented TYT videos. Finally KZbin stopped paying for views, and so TYT has been disappearing ever since.

He went on diatribes, or simply skirted the direct question. Example, Ben: What is your ideal tax rate then? Cenk: Gives a long story about taxes in the 50's, and then says finding the balanced correct tax rate is what needs to be done. What? So you have no idea? Give a freaking answer.
