Who turned around and copied the link to "Watch Sam get PWNED"

I have debated that Global Warming Skeptic guy on KZfaq numerous times, and he's a total moron. This video came out way before I even knew about him. Lol, he was just as much of a moron back then as he is now. I recognize his stubborn, selective, illogical, hyperbolic, and resistant-to-facts style of debating politics (and his potato voice) (I know this thread is old, but I though I'd chime in)

Global Warming Skeptic Really? You can't answer one question about Kansas plus Sam already showed the blatant in the "facts" from the last call where the person who looked like an idiot was not Sam. We used the first call in my psychology class when discussing cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance in the unhealthy mind. I am looking forward to using this new call when we cover low cognitive complexity resulting in simplistic or absolutist (splitting) thinking and how it relates to mental rigidity. I love listening to people spout on and on about something they have no clue about. Having one source (which is a biased website) does not mean you have any understanding and usually if a person can only find one source it's because they are wrong and are guilty of confirmation bias. When it comes to this subject a person might make themselves aware of the fact that Kansas has basically followed the guide to become your dream community and is sitting on a 40 million dollar shortfall and can't fund schools, police, fire or road maintenance. At least Sam knew about that when a certain someone else didn't. Oh and Rush Limbaugh is an even bigger idiot the drugs have gone to his brain and I can prove it because that's why he was going deaf and has a cochlear implant.

Global Warming Skeptic If you disagree with cherrypicking then why do you cherrypick your "evidence"? You did not listen to Sam there are far more studies that show evidence that contradicts your "evidence" The reason Sam mentioned Kansas is because it's a textbook test case for your philosophy. Do you understand what a pilot case is? You may not live in Kansas but using that rationale they could follow your tax guidelines in 49 states and have it fail in all 49 and claim you don't live in those 49 states and you have one website that says lowering taxes raises tax revenue and until its done in your state we are cherry picking by using the other states. If you did research on any website that is not funded by right wing think tanks you might see that the reason revenue increased under Reagan and JFK was due to other changes in the law. More specifically some loopholes were closed and although taxes were decreased for the 1% there were tax increases for the other 99% Your failure to even listen and try to comprehend is proof of low cognitive complexity resulting in simplistic and absolutist (or splitting) thinking. Your eagerness to continue arguing without listening to the opposition's evidence (which you refused to do on the call) is proof of mental rigidity. Your willful ignorance is not even funny its sad. What I would like to know is...what do you do for a living and did you go to college? If you did go to college what did you major/minor in?

Global Warming Skeptic Actually, it's quite meaningful, especially since your website shows an increase in debt despite the increase in revenue. I went to the Tax Policy Center and after the 2001 tax cuts on the wealthy revenue dropped from 2025.2 to 1991.1 to 1853.1 in 2002 to 1782.3 in 2003 when the US invaded Iraq, which was basically a Keynesian stimulus on the US economy, which led to an increase in the size of Debt and GDP which increased revenue until the war started to wind down in 2008, where the Bush stimulus came into effect which increased debt, and lowered taxes which resulted in an income loss from 2524 in 2008 to 2105 in 2009; however when the Bush tax cut expired in 2010 revenue went from 2161.7 in 2010 to 2303.0 in 2011 to 2450 in 2012 to 2775.1 in 2013 to 3021.5 last year. It appears even your own reference is against you.

Global Warming Skeptic Also according to your link, tax revenue increased and debt decreased after the 1993 tax increases. In fact, revenue increased and debt decreased every year until the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and didn't start increasing until the Iraq Invasion of 2003, when the government borrowed massive amounts of money and injected it into the economy through the military industrial complex, and started to fall off once the draw down in 2008 began. Revenues didn't pick back up until after the Bush tax cuts expired.

Global Warming Skeptic The reason that I asked about your education is to understand whether or not you have a background in something that may be skewing your understanding. and I do not believe you understand what low cognitive complexity really means or else you would not continue with the splitting and mental rigidity. I had one of the economics professors listen to your call and read your comments here (I will have him read the last few of your comments, hopefully this weekend) and he (republican Reaganomics 400-600 level economics instructor thinks you are to thick skulled to waste our time on. I want to thank you for giving my students and myself hours of entertaining analysis.

No such example of any Marxist economy. No, every major economist said the Austrian school is Economic Lies. It rejects Scientific methods, the use of empirical data in modeling economic behavior, doesn't correctly understand business cycles & theoretical issues with unemployment Mixed economies of Capitalism with Socialism for social safety nets work best. Points to facts & economic reality. Listen troll, you clearly have no life, & now have been publicly exposed again You've officially won the record for biggest liar/troll en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austrian_School

Cretans & trolls argue. Scholars learn. Met more interesting liars in Kindergarten. No thanks

Armando7654 Probably should not call anyone a liar, that is your gig you own it.

That guy is a complete right wing rich propaganda tool. This whole mentality of the rich trickle down wealth has been debunked. They just horde all the money and make the poor even poorer.

Rebecca Beard Behold! robertreich.org/post/73471886666 Been driving this GWS fella effin' nutzo with this stuff forevz!

People have been making up conspiracy theories since pre-internet times

kathy kelly Some did, some didn't; that's the game the privileged play. But starting that game at 91% instead of 35% makes a difference. Just look at the national debt. And corporations were taxed 3 times higher than they are now, too. Are you high?

a.fro80y Yup. That's our buddy.

Archon Timatron You now stand ready to join the ranks of GWS and his Libertarian Stupidity Movement.

Oh, the joy

Global Warming Skeptic Fuck Off

Global Warming Skeptic you're such a douche. Research something and have all the facts before he makes you into a clown again.

Global Warming Skeptic the difference is there is data to back up when Sam is saying. You're absolutely ridiculous man. Global warming is a thing by the way.

Global Warming Skeptic thank you as always for your incompetence. Oh yeah it seems as if sam wasnt afraid of people watching this clip as you asserted earlier. I wonder if you have actually listened to any of these people who are attempting to show you the truth. I somehow doubt it cuz you keep using the same tired arguments again and again. I still fail to see how sam dressing you down for you ignorance is in any way similar to rush's insanity, but hey you live in a bubble and dont care about evidence that illustrates your ignorance. Again, thank you. this video is a classic laugh riot.

Global Warming Skeptic can you pleasseeeee call in more? Your stoned misinformed confused voice is fun. Let's hear more non-existent facts.

100% same guy

Kaplah!

Global Warming Skeptic Dude, you do realize that studying the data from that chart, that taxes appeared to go up both when we cut them AND raised them, right? And also, you do realize that the Fed lowered interest rates during the so-called Reagan "boom", right? It coincidentally coincided with the growth, which would make sense because one of the reasons we had that recession in the early 80s was cause the Fed jacked up interest rates to fight inflation. Also too: Reagan created 16 million in 8. Carter created 10 million jobs in 4 years. Carter had a much higher tax rate than Reagan. Who had the higher job growth rate, and how was that possible?

Nick Palaroan LOL, put your head in the sand some more

Bro y'all had to close public schools before the year ended because you couldn't afford to keep them open
