Why is Steven Crowder alienating conservative Muslim supports? Episode 38

Why is Steven Crowder alienating conservative Muslim supports? Episode 38

In this episode, I question and challenge Steven Crowder's stance on the Muslim conservative viewpoint and where they align politically. I then conclude that his remarks and rather derogatory statements towards Islam work only to hinder his agenda in advancing the libertarian/conservative/republican movement, reducing new supporter turnout and loosing existing supporters, something they cannot afford to loose especially where we are now.

What does Richard Wolff gets wrong about monopolies? Episode 37

What does Richard Wolff gets wrong about monopolies? Episode 37

In this episode, we attempt to counter Richard Wolff's argument that Capitalism will always lead to monopolies. I first define my terms to establish what we exactly mean by monopolies. I then explain how competition is factored in and how the resulting economic system in fact does not result in monopolistic conglomerates, but instead, a variety of different companies offering different goods targeting different market segments.

What do socialists fail to understand about out current economic conditions? Episode 35

What do socialists fail to understand about out current economic conditions? Episode 35

In this episode, we are going to bridge a gap between what true capitalists and socialists believe ought to be done in our economy. What we ultimately come to find out is that we both share the same concerns on what the problems are in out current economic state. We both agree that the U.S. productivity has declined over the recent decades, most of our production is occurring in other nations, our trade deficits have been drastically increasing, our standard of living has decreased, our cost of living has increased, overall happiness in our workforce has decreased, the wealth gap has widened, corporations are getting larger, mergers are more frequent, small businesses are finding harder to operate, prices are rising, savings is on the decline, and debt is on the rise both on a personal, business, and governmental standpoint. We both realize the concerns however we have different viewpoints on what the solution should be. I argue that part of this difference in the solution stems from a difference in understanding how the problem emerged from the beginning. If we can first create a common ground on how these problems have sprouted, only then we can begin to find common ground on solutions to fix these problems.

How does inflation create extensive wealth inequality? Episode 22

How does inflation create extensive wealth inequality? Episode 22

In this episode, I am going to briefly explain how inflation created by the Fed through manipulating market interest rates and their encouragement of debt exaggerates the wealth inequality in society. Now although wealth inequality is something vital to a free market economy, extensive inequality where the very rich own more wealth than all the subgroups beneath them combined is not inherent to the free market and a result of the failed monetary policy of the Fed. This subject is going to require more episodes to fully elaborate on so stay tuned!
