Patlal said: Every group of poor people need a token rich guy to give them financial education. The rich guy will stay grounded by hanging out with poor people.
history says the poor just want instant success and handouts.
those who break through are called "mean" and "rich pricks".
what do you think of CEO's who make millions per year for decades of hard work? probably rich pricks. am i right?

i think everyone should be taxed the same but if the super rich were taxed 1-3% percent more I'm sure they could afford to pay healthcare for the bottom half

Money only makes liberals mean, this is why conservatives generally give away much more of their money to charity than liberals do

I thought it would die down after the candidate from the Obstructionist party was made president. Wrong, it just fortifies the incentive to obstruct anything not likeminded.
Its funny that people argue against such a concise presentation where a dozen and a half studies are cited, with anecdotal diatribe.
Especially considering the title was a question, not the point of the whole talk, he explains his alternative take on that question at the end of the video.

so it couldnt possibly be because the premise is unsound
premises are either true or false. arguments are sound if and only if they are valid with all true premises.
i don't think the speaker's premises are false seeing that he demonstrated them to be true via the findings of the experiments. and i doubt he intended to demonstrate them as necessarily true - true in all cases - seeing that there are obviously bad and good people on all ends of the wealth spectrum. but his conclusion does seem a little shaky to me. he seems to believe that the best way out of this mess is to simply convince rich people that they should contribute more to society. that's just not going to happen. but we can leave it to the ethicists, pastors and priests to try. every little bit helps.
our current distribution of wealth is the result of laws. we can't legislate virtue. but we can legislate equality, and by that i mean equal consideration of everyone, not equal distribution of wealth. we can re-engineer our economy to be more stable and inclusive. and if we don't, as the speaker says, things will only get worse. much worse.

LOL no.
that's a pretty well proven fact, that's why liberals demand that tax money be used for charitable donations all the time, why else would the be so concerned about planned parenthood funding ot the endowment for the arts, as long as they have others paying for these donations they feel that they've done their part in charitable giving

i don't think the speaker's premises are false seeing that he demonstrated them to be true via the findings of the experiments. and i doubt he intended to demonstrate them as necessarily true - true in all cases
he narrated them to be true in all cases, he did not provide any proofs, only conclusions based on simple claims of observation. in his 'experiment' he provided pretzels and claimed the one that started with more money ate far more than the other player while failing to show the 'poor' player ate any at all or explaining whether the poor player had eaten prior to the 'experiment', nor did he start with demonstrating the personality of the players in the game or by explaining that with a board game, winners tend to gloat a great deal more to begin with
the whole thing was confirmation bias bullshit
