Jon Stewart Debunks GOP’s City Crime Narrative | The Daily Show

unfortunately most folks are swayed easily by headlines and statistics and do not think any further into an issue. also unfortunate, most media companies and political orgs use statistics in a manipulative way. honestly, jon stewart (not necessarily the daily show itself) is more reliably objective and genuinely honest when discussing issues than most media companies. i have thoughts on guns that conflict with right and left, but i always appreciate how jon breaks things down and does not rely on trying to smear/spin opposition to whatever issue he is trying to express/support.

About ten years ago there were some widely publicized shark attacks, but the actual numbers of shark attacks were down. My mom, hearing about the attacks on the news repeatedly, was really worried when my wife and kids and I went on our vacation to NC's Outer Banks, all because of the publicity, not because the actual attacks were increasing, and she wouldn't listen when I tried to tell her the reality.

Critical thinking is a tough proposition for people who find it inconvenient to a preferred narrative.

That’s the irony though, the cities those crimes are predominantly committed in are run by democrats. Every red state has one or two blue cities where all the crime is.

When poor people get money it goes right into the economy. When you give rich people tax breaks that money stays in pockets that are already full. Any taxes on people who don't have wealth don't help our economy. I'm talking about going back to the times where the wealthiest of Americans have real taxes, when this country had much less poverty. When people who could afford homes and cars without going into massive debt. The tax rate on the rich was above 70%. Generational wealth was taxed. This was the case for the richest people, an infinitesimal amount of people but putting so much into the economy by way of less taxes for basically everyone else. We then spend that money and it goes into our economy.

[@marc13126]

Yes you’re correct. The rich people keep millions of dollars just sitting in their bank account making 0.2% interest on it instead of putting that money into the stock market/economy. Yup that makes total sense👍🏼

That's how things used to be under Eisenhower and Nixon and others - with the rich paying their fare share, and American infrastructure growing to be the envy of the world. Then along came Reaganomics and ever since 1981, the former party of fiscal conservancy has been 100% about lowering taxes on the rich at the expense of everything else. Have a look at how the federal debt has grown under each and every GOP president since then. The largest jump in the debt occurred in 2017 when trump and the GOP decided to leave $10 trillion in the pockets of the wealthy instead of having it paid in income taxes. 🤦‍♂

You people constantly act like there is some mysterious tax code just for the rich?! I can guarantee you that you are taking advantage of the same tax breaks as the rich do but you probably not even realizing it. Are you paying taxes on your debt?

The crime perception/reality situation has been an issue since the mid-1990s or so. Gallup has measured perceptions of crime in respondents' neighborhoods and in the country as a whole for over 30 years, now. Nationwide, crime has dropped almost every year since about 1993 (with a few exceptions); however, most Gallup respondents have said that crime is rising in practically every year since then. That said, they tend to say that crime is dropping in their own neighborhoods. They also tend to say that crime is a top concern, even in years during the Obama administration when crime hit its lowest levels in *recorded history*. People in the media have been linking this disconnect to Trump, COVID, but this reality greatly predates any of these phenomena.

I was shot at by small arms twice on my first deployment to Iraq. Never hit. I've been shot at three times while living in Rural America, and hit once. When I was 13. "Real" 'Murica is the most dangerous place you'll ever see.

[@lc1138]

Ouch. That's sad. Respect to you sir. And now I realize that Murica has, as a matter of fact, been succesful in the exportation of its life model to Iraq. It's just not the one we were told about.

Crime has been proven to go hand and hand with poverty. If you want to tackle crime, why not institute programs to alleviate poverty?

Only declining compared to pandemic level spikes. “The FBI’s report was in line with the findings of the nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice, which found that homicides were down an average of 10% in a survey of 32 cities over the year before, though it found violent crime still remained higher than before the coronavirus pandemic in many cities.”

Crime isn’t the problem - it’s homelessness. I live in Phoenix & I feel pretty safe. However, I’ve seen a notable increase in the homeless population the past 5yrs, which has led to a significant rise in retail theft. This is another issue the GOP has exacerbated & continues to ignore.

Not just homelessness, poverty in general. While it is true that countries without private gun ownership are generally safer, it is also true that gun ownership in the U.S. is not much of a problem in areas where people are doing generally ok.
