it's sis it is amazing that different forces
that will squelch
some type of dissent i mean the
there that you can
and not
you cannot overestimate
the queasy s
uh... love
of people
in the media even in the sort of like
things that we wouldn't necessarily consider this reduced traditional media
hiking tell you that
as high try and find other jobs to supplement this one
aryan shocked
repeatedly
hat
how
much
people express concern
they perceive idu on this show
i mean i i i am i'm shocked about and i mean i'm not naive to these things
and i'm not looking for jobs are not going to fox news for jobs
and i i i am surprised by it
and i try and isolating zac lee what it is
you know because you have a guy on c_n_n_
now we're talking about cable news
we have a guy on c_n_n_ who's paid contributor c_n_n_
called justice center a
coat fuck
and
you know i say some personal dance occasionally
but i'm not looking for job on c_n_n_ and i don't save those type of things
not that i i have and an issue with the term goat for it's just sort of like
d the level of discourse that you're expressing his
no words
there obviously is the the issue is not
tone
per se
uh... the issue is what
issues you are tackling and uh...
i tend to focus on a lot of economic issues on this program
puts me in a different class of
media pundits
per category tape i should say
you know there is a
no one labor this way
no one would be capped off these outlets if they were talking about
uh... marriage equality rights
and no one would be at kept up his hobbies that they were talking about
women's reproductive rights
and this example
from to head
you know what teddy's right it's those uh...
those little conferences that they have
of really really well wealthy people
and it's mostly technology wouldn't stand for do you know ted stands for
and they have made the they're fascinating uh... you get these little
twenty minute talks
it stands for our technology and detainment design
technology entertainment design and over the years they have grown and you have
like ted axes which are sort of like
uh... spinoff versions that are associated with the main tad bit
and
they've expanded over the years and has been around for a must now u
ten years or something and they started
but these things online i think five years ago six years ago
and they've had many
conversations about things like
global warming
and contraception
uh... they've had to you know and muscle stuff is more about like how do you make
ah...
you know uh... bilbies or great story on for awhile or uh...
you know an interesting thing on how we're all going to live in phil the and
applying or
you know what how how small processors that
uh... you can be made uh... and in all sorts of of different received thanks
and so
the national journal
reported
at a guy named and nick
henner
venture capitalists from seattle
who apparently was the first nonfamily investor in amazon dot com
who is as you would imagine
extremely wealthy
if he's a billionaire
but he's something air
he's barry very wealthy
and
he
gave a
ted speech in march
his net worth is now one billion one billion
just one billion
j_p_ morgan could lose at midday
so
using a billionaire
and he gave us talk
at the ted university conference in march
and you can read a little bit of it to you and i'll tell you why am landry just
a little bit of the two after i read a little bit
of it to you
he said uh... it's a stunning cal significantly one idea can shape a
society and its policies
if taxes on the rich go up job creation will go down
he says this idea is an article of faith republicans and seldom challenged by
democrats
anish eight much of today's economic landscape
but sometimes the ideas that we know to be true are dead wrong
for thousands of years people were sure that the earth was at the center of the
universe it's not an an astronomer who still believe that it was
would do some lousy astronomy
in the same way policymaker who believe that the rich and businesses are job
creators
and therefore should not be taxed
would make equally bad policy
he says i have heard started or help start dozens of businesses and initially
hired lots of people
but if no one could have afforded to buy what we had to sell
my businesses would all have failed in those jobs would have evaporated
that's why i can say with confidence that rich people do not create jobs
nor do business large or small what does lead to more employment is a circle of
life
like a feedback loop between customers and businesses
and only consumers can set in motion this virtual a cycle of increasing
demand and a hiring
in this sense an ordinary middle-class consumer is far more of a job creator
than a capitalist like make so when business people take credit for creating
jobs
it's like a squirrel taking credit for creating evolution
in fact it's the other way around
anyone who's ever run a business knows that hiring more people is a capitalist
course of last resort
something we do only one increasing customer demand requires it
he goes on to say since nineteen eighty the share of income for the richest
americans has more than tripled while effective tax rates
have declined by close to fifty percent
if it were true that lower tax rates in more wealth for the wealthy would lead
to more job creation
then today we would be drowning in jobs
yet unemployment underemployment is a record highs
the annual earnings of people like me
speaking as a billionaire
if not are hundreds if not thousands of times greater than those
but the median american but we don't buy hundreds or thousands of times more
stuff
miami family owns three cars
not three thousand
because i've saved the typical american family got today the same share of
income they earned in nineteen eighty-two ordered about twenty five
percent more
and have an astounding thirteen thousand dollars more a year
where where the economy b if that were the case there's more
you cannot see it
you cannot listen to it on the ted site you cannot see it or listen to it on
utube
because
to head
and it's curator chris anderson
refuse to post it because it was too controversial
now ask yourself
how
controversial is that really
how much controversy is
over the facts he stated
is that really that much more political than global warming
where the idea of contraception
i mean really
the idea we shouldn't give tax cuts to the rich is that
inge general is there
more people in this country who
have an argument with tax cuts for the rich
verses
the idea of providing contraception or the existence of
man-made climate change
the wealthy in this country
control our government
and they control our media
and they control even the
the media that is
supposed to be sort of like a little
little bit more thoughtful and interesting
are media
it's a real problem
it's it's a real problem and um...
also
action at this guy crist anderson
as far as i can tell
he's a real douche bag
uh... just from my uh... knowledge of what went on with uh... sarah
silverman's
uh...
tropic ted
where after he books error inputs are there
and uses all the uh... publicity
that goes with that
shocked to find out that she has a padi now
what a moron
i would have a there when their reasoning that is how they don't like to
go into matters there to political or or or religious
but if you look at their website they've started to the grand for of or so
rediculous
absolutely ridiculous
