@@funkyweapon1981 wtf are you talking about, romans were white where the hell did you get the idea they weren't, sure they weren't northern european but they were still white. as for modern italians they are just as much german as they are roman due to what happened after the empire fell and germans are undeniably white.
the only people in history to think other wise were southern americans because Italians have a different culture (it had nothing to do with skin, blood, etc)
as for romans, the orginal romans were latin people, and the largest number of citizens for most of the empire were of latin/italian or greek descent with an ever increaseing number of provincials becoming romans. no arabs or sub sarahran arabs were part of the empire (although they in theory could join as auxilia from outside the empire) but what I am saying is the evidence shows they would have been light to olive skinned Caucasianoids which under most definitions is white. and the romans of rome were definitely white

" The socialist party loves so much the poor that takes all their efforts towards the creation of poorer people! "
Or hate everyone equally
They don't even hate the rich, they just want to extort them so they can get richer. They use our idiot mob democratic society to achieve their goal because the power is with the people for the moment. But they're working on taking that way too.
- No participation in the investment and production of the pizza.
- Demands a 50-50 split.
imagine the rage if they suggested splitting the cost of the upgrade.
But there is a difference in demanding a fifty fifty split, and asking for a fair pay rise.
Bearing in mind that many many people's pay has been below inflation levels for years now and the divide between rich and poor is at its highest in decades.
It's good for the entire economy for more people to have more spending power..
The gap needs pulling in, and honest hard work should always pay off.
But fifty fifty split is obviously utterly ridiculous and any leftist pushing that idea is insane or a communist.
Or both. Probably both.

Sometimes I'd like to be president simply for the opportunity to have a failing big business ask for a bailout, just so I can say "No."
In a true capitalist economy, businesses grow old and die, making way for freshly inspired entrepreneurial business ventures. Trying to put old money on life support is foolish - especially if it's done with taxpayer money. If we think it's fiscally immoral to just give government money to poor people who can't seem to manage their lives properly, then is it not just as reprehensible to give it to wealthy individuals who can't seem to manage a business worth billions?
Sounds like what trump might get to say to GM. They destroyed Saab, pulled out of Europe in 2017, have decided not to produce RHD vehicles and are leaving Australia at the end of 2020, and ALSO lost 4 billion in the North American market this year. They took billions off the Australian government to guarantee that they would keep our car factories open for 5 years. Closed them in 18 months. Then spent the last 3 years using the bailout money to fund gay marriage and gender pay gap BS. And now they're finished. Ford and the asian cars will now dominate the market and we have chinese stuff here too. Some has been here for like 14 years and it's no worse than GM stuff tbh.

I wish you had put this video out when I was forced to take an "income inequality" class for my major. The professor could not get this simple idea into his head and thought every student was attacking him that asked a question, and would always rant about Trump regardless of the topic. Its so funny the way they get their statistics as well, as they will focus on pre tax income for their data which makes the gap seem WAY bigger than it is, since the wealthy get +40% taken out of just their income alone. Only thing I have learned about statistics is how to skew them to fit your agenda, which is a dam shame... thanks Rutgers

@@Excalibur2 I mean alot of that is business expense, but I do understand where you are coming from. In the end we dont need new rules, we just need our current ones to be enforced
treydarling Are you a bot? Because you have posted the same comment a few times now at least on this video.
@treydarling Productivity is not the same thing as value. The rise in productivity came about because of innovations in the methods of producing things, not because workers magically started producing more. Think of it with an example. Say that it costs $10 to pay a worker to stand in an assembly line an assemble a product by hand. Now say that a new machine comes out that automates the process of assembly, but it needs human oversight, and that oversight is worth $10. In the end, the actual _value_ of the worker's labor did not go up, just how much he could _do_ with his amount of labor.
@treydarling Workers as an economic standard built the wealth that allowed wealthy people to innovate, that is true, but the individual workers themselves were not the ones who innovated. That fell to the wealthy to do since they actually had the resources to innovate.
And then the single most common argument for an increased minimum wage. "If we give people more money they will be able to buy more things." At face value this makes sense, but you would have to be assuming that A) people actually get the raise instead of cut hours or lay offs and B) that they actually spend enough to make up the difference instead of, say, saving that money away like a reasonable person would do. You, in a sense, have to hope that people are _just_ as financially irresponsible and impulsive as they are now.
I never said anything about pay _decreasing_ with automation, only that pay isn't going to go _up_ because of it. Unless you mean workers losing their jobs (and thus their pay) because of automation, which is a different topic and a different discussion.

The rich get richer, the poor... GET RICHER.
With inflation, wages and buying power have actually decreased for the poor.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index, prices in 2018 are 206.90% higher than prices in 1980.
The dollar experienced an average inflation rate of 2.99% per year during the period From 1980 - 2018
In other words, $6 in 1980 is equivalent in purchasing power to $18.41 in 2018, a difference of $12.41 over 38 years.
So the poor working for $6 an hour had purchasing power much higher than those earning minimum wage today.
I think the price of most consumer goods may have risen since 1980 when you compare and adjust for inflation.
So actually the poor do not get richer at all. They can buy less than their predecessors.
@@someguy4502 But the prices for what used to be luxury goods i.e. Microwaves and refrigerators have gone down drastically.
@@someguy4502 Buying power decreases for everybody. As said in the video a microwave used to be a luxury but now it's a necessity, everyone has one so we are richer. Wealth isn't determined solely by how much money you have or how big your paycheck is.
@@joshzwies3601 But a poor person will have to work more hours than they did 20 years ago to buy the same microwave. That doesn't mean they're better off, that means they're worse off.
@@someguy4502 Have you considered the price of the microwave? Or maybe the fact that newer microwaves have newer features to become an oven or maybe it is not as power hungry as 20 years ago?
There are lots of things to consider, not just the minimum wage and inflation.

@@caveatlector2671 let me guess, english isnt your first language right?
Not exactly correct. If you have a family of 6 and are making $7/h you are going to be poor. The problem is that people expect other people to support their lifestyle and lack of family planning.
I love it when people with the same type of salary I have but have 4 kids look at me and say I am rich. They never saw that I didn't go out to the bars and clubs every night in my 20-30s but I saved my cash for other purchases. They never see that I invest whatever I can of my paycheck for a rainy day.
If you are uneducated and want to make money you have to do jobs that nobody else wants to do because they are dirty/disgusting, have a high risk factor or work longer hours.

On pot is what I thought in the beginning with slow start and talking about munchie.
This video is a great example of how having less of the percentage doesnt mean you have less in general if the overall amount has increased. People who complain about that don’t know what they’re talking about.
That being said, while both the poor and the rich are getting richer, the rich are getting richer at a much faster rate than the poor are, and the gap between them is still getting bigger, and that could still end up being a problem if the gap gets large enough.
I'm not quite so sure myself but I think it depends on how you define and measure wealth and/or poverty.
The rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer *relative to the rich* is a natural result. Think about learning. Smarter kids tend to learn faster, so while they may start with just a small advantage over overage kids in elementary school, they tend to have a HUGE advantage by high school and even more thereafter. It's just a natural result of being born (and/or raised / trained, depending on your perspective) smarter.
Meanwhile, if you are born and/or raised richer, you already have some wealth upon which to build - not necessarily a WHOLE bunch, but let's compare a kid whose parents can contribute 10k towards his college vs. a kid whose parents can't contribute a dime. Assuming all else held equal (scholarships, cost, major, race, sex, talent, etc.) that 10k extra (assuming no differences in FAFSA results, which is unlikely, but let's run with it) either means that student needs to work fewer hours and can therefore study more during college, or that students has to take out less in loans and therefore has to repay *even* less, or some combination of the two.
It is entirely true to say that some kids are just born "disadvantaged" in one way or another - the three primary factors being (imho) parental involvement, wealth, and intellect. (Physical attractiveness also contributes to success, but depends largely on fluctuating societal norms whereas the previously mentioned are quite consistent.) But it's not as if those factors are entirely predetermined. Parents have nearly limitless control over how involved they are in their childrens' education, particularly in the early years. Read to your kid for a while every day, and their chances of success skyrocket.
Similarly, if you *invest* your money wisely, even a little bit, early on, you will reap the rewards when you are older. Lack of investment, ultimately, is what keeps the majority of the poor poor... just as lack of parental involvement (investment) is a key factor in the majority of intellectually deficient children.
You had it... and then you lost it.
The only way the gap between rich and poor becomes a problem is if the wealth of the poor is insufficient to meet their needs or, as is happening in America, we get a bunch of petty, envious assholes screaming about how awful it is that someone else has more than them.
Wealthy people are going to be wealthy. You can’t stop it after a certain point and any attempt to will only hurt people as a whole. Poor people need access to opportunities to escape poverty, not a guarantee. Because unfortunately some people deserve to be poor. If you spend all of your money the instant you get it on temporary pleasure, is it anyone else’s fault if you run out of money? Instead opportunities to grow are better as then anyone can escape poverty through effort and hard work. That is my view on the matter as unimportant as it is.

They're "poor" because they envy a small minority of people in the world. Some people are going to be either lucky or smart enough to be part of that minority.
What you Americans call poor people in other countries we call them middle class.
It's so true.
I remember a coworker years ago who taught English in South Korea told me how South Koreans thought everyone in the US was rich, even those that Americans consider "impoverished". They pointed out they have a place to live without sharing it with multiple generations of family members, have one or more cars, a tv, kitchen appliances - all things that are true luxuries in their culture.
Ironically, they also dressed like Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman because they saw her as an American Princess, not the whore her character was.
What about the fact you installed the bigger oven yet he didn’t contribute 50%
It's because it's a shitty strawman representation of Socialism. Under actual Socialism the other guy would be expected to put in equal labour towards the pizza in order to receive an equal amount of pizza.
Collin Webb equal labour or equal pay? Does he help making the oven and the pizza or does he contribute by paying? How do you split the oven price in a pizzeria on all customers, ever?
@@imme251 I'm not sure what you're asking, honestly. What do you mean equal labour or equal pay? In this metaphor, the pizza is the "pay". It's what you get in exchange for the labour involved. And he would have to put in an equal amount of labour towards "acquiring" the oven if it's a situation exactly like the one presented in the cartoon (though obviously such a scenario in real life wouldn't happen). If they're literally building the oven, then this could range from anything from physically helping build it, acquiring the materials themselves, or even exchanging their labour for someone else's labour towards building the oven.
Why wouldn't you be able to fund such a pizzeria oven (which you'll note is quite different from someone's personal oven, which makes this a quite different scenario from the one in the cartoon) publicly the way many services are done currently? The oven is "given" by the community as a whole with the expectation that it will be used to make pizzas that anyone would have access to.
Like I said though, I'm not 100% on what you were asking, so let me know if I messed up on answering.
@@user-zc4br7yt4i So who decides what an equal amount of labor is, especially between two totally different jobs? Between a guy who spends all day writing code for Mars rovers and a guy who works at a construction site, who earns more? What happens to the guy who doesn't do enough labor? He just...doesn't get food? And why should we trust the government to do all of this perfectly?
@@charlesjohnson7657 "So who decides what an equal amount of labor is" No one "decides". It's based off primarily effort + time. Capitalism is the system that arbitrarily assigns value. Socialism does not. I don't see what two "totally different jobs" affects at all.
"What happens to the guy who doesn't do enough labour? He just...doesn't get food?" No, that's what happens under Capitalism. Generally, Socialists will always guarantee basic necessities such as food, water, housing, healthcare, and education (though they also guarantee *decent* employment, so there is little reason to not work barring physical or mental disabilities, which are things that would be accounted for just as they are under the current system, though to a "better" degree) to everyone regardless. But even if they *didn't* , under Socialism such thing's "prices" would be much lower than they are under Capitalism, since there is no profit motive, which is the primary cause for people being unable to afford them.
"And why should we trust the government to do all of t his perfectly?" Perfectly? What does "perfectly" mean? Nothing is ever done "perfectly". And very rarely do things need to be done "perfectly" in order to be done "adequately". And you'd "trust" the government to do these things because under Socialism the government is truly elected by the people for the people and are *accountable* to the people. This is hardly a universally decided upon aspect, but the view that many, and that I myself currently hold, is to have "immediately recallable representatives". Combine this with the fact that class will have been abolished, money will have been replaced by labour vouchers (the key differences between this and money being that labour vouchers "disappear" after being "spent" and are non-transferable) and that private property does not exist, there's is very little *incentive* for corruption. What would one gain out of it? There is no bribe you could receive because there are no millionaire "donors" and even if there were, labour vouchers are non-transferable.
Eric; Maybe you should put the fire out first? Then we can discuss this.
Shamus (hair and head literally on fire); NO, Eric, you need to make your choice.
LOL XD
The only smart thing Eric said the entire video.
We forget how much luxury we have.
First-world poverty is more about the stress of working long hours - or the opposite: not finding enough work, and constantly being worried about not affording rent and ending up on the street.
These are real problems that can be solved by:
1. Learning how to eat healthy for cheap, and not wasting food.
2. Abolishing the zoning laws that keep good housing in short supply.
Ever wonder why city rents are so expensive, and the only cheap places to live are in the middle of nowhere?
It's not because of the free market. It's because in most neighborhoods, there are zoning laws that make it illegal to build anything except houses. So all the good stuff gets concentrated into 1 area while everyone else has to commute.

So your saying most poverty is caused by restrictions on the free market not by not having enough restrictions
@@Data-Expungeded - Mostly yes.
Here's the deal America, you can have income equality in which the rich get poorer and the poor get poorer
OR
You can have a market economy in which the rich get richer and the poor get richer
Your choice.
You're forgetting about the 3rd choice:
A dictatorship in which whoever the dictator likes get richer and whoever they hate get poorer.
Right now we seem to be in a downswing where the only the extreme rich are getting richer, the rich are getting poorer, along with the rest. Part of it is surely caused by sending the jobs oversea where labor is a tenth of the cost here.

There's a reason envy is one of the seven deadly sins. When too many people are steeped in envy, they try to pass laws to make it go away (socialism and communism), and then every one is poor. A basic freedom must be the freedom to have more than someone else without being destroyed.
"if there was a devil, the state would be it" - Larken Rose
It's not about envy, it's about noticing the cost of living has gone up but wages have not, while the top 1% owns more wealth than 50% of the country.
Greed is a sin too, but y'all seem to forget about that... and gluttony...
The 50% figure applies to world wealth. In this country, the top 1% control 40% as of the end of Dec 2017. (Washington Post report on study by the National Bureau of Economic Research). The relationship between wages and cost of living varies a lot by metro area. Wages and cost living are strongly correlated. To say that "cost of living has gone up but wages have not" just does not seem to be true.
@@thirdbnico Conglaturations!!! You have won the: "Missed the whole point of the video" Award!
I'll reiterate it for you: Sure, the top 1% may own 50% of the wealth. The point is that you don't have to be in the 1% to live a good life. You make it out like 99% of people live in abysmal 3rd world level poverty. In reality, even the poorest among us have access to items that used to be considered luxury goods like smartphones, microwaves, and internet access.
Under a socialist economy, EVERYONE IS EQUALLY MISERABLE. And it also removes the incentive to invent new items so you truly do become a 3rd world country.

When ever someone talks about the wealth inequality, just say this.
Why dose it matter if the rich are getting richer, if we ourselves are getting richer, just not as fast. Quality of life improvements are better than communism. Where the quality did not really change for the people in the USSR throughout the entirety of its existence. While that may sound crazy, as it dose, think about it. People in the USSR always had to worry about food. The joke goes that the USSR only started to import food in the 80s because the Tsar’s grain supply only lasted 70 years. In our nation people do not have tor worry if there is going to be a good harvest or not, when in the USSR the state of the farms was front page news. The ability not to worry about feeding your family is a very recent development, in red nations like North Korea, people still have to worry about their families food situation.
yo this nigga spittin facts bro
Can I get a short version? I can't memorize all of this
Falkyraizu The rich are getting richer, but the poor are also getting richer, the rich just acquire wealth more rapidly, hence why income inequality is something that exist. But since the poor are also getting rich, capitalism is not evil because everyone is acquiring more wealth.
However, in communist nations, the amount of wealth only grows slowly, if at all. Mainly because state central planning always fails. At the end of the USSR many rural hospitals did not even have hot running water. Everyone (except the top party members of course) were in poverty.
Or just point out that they are making more in an hour than 80% of the world makes in a day.
Sheamus got five slices because he's white.
HOW RACIST
It's reality. Explain why so much of the poverty% is black?

@führer zeek no shit, I clearly did not see the joke and I clearly believe the Freaking citrus fruit that is standing in the Priveledge house is not good and hates every American except North Americans.
Even just considering this from a common courtesy perspective; if I go over to a friend’s house and they make me a pizza then they absolutely have the right to eat a slice more than me. They’re the host. They did all the work.
No, no, you're thinking logically Lynette haha.
But the host should offer their guest the better half/more of than them. I'm not talking about economics, just common courtesy.
Applying this logic, you actually arrive to communism lol. The proletariat do most(if not all) the work, they should therefore be the ones that own the means of production, isn't that right? They did all the work, after all.
@Virgil Kemp I really cant think of any instance in which the bourgeoisie works more than the proletariat, probably because there is no such instance. Besides, I was merely showing how OP's point is, in fact, supportive of communism, what does that have to do with LTV? Im not even going to say anything about "productivity", as if the shareholders are actually productive lmfao

my family is "poor" but we have like 4 flat screens, I've had a modern installment of the Xbox since I was 13, my dad has always had 2 vehicles, our house was huge etc. I think it's stupid to call that poor.
Edit: my father was the only one who worked and made below the poverty line. And the Xbox thing was because I beat pavement to get it myself after the 360. And not to get pitty, but I've been actually poor. I lived in my car for a year and barely ate so it pisses me off to here my dad and others say "we're needy and poor". All this before 21

@@Thoroughly_Wet Okay, so your situation was more nuance then the way you first discribe it.
Akin to how I family can be considered "poor" in the
Kazakhstan SSR in the USSR.
We were on the lower scale of money in terms of monthly rubles we would make , (70 to 90 rubles a month) but luckily for us everything was cheap , from our food to our apartment.
(Also know as the *BRICK*)
Our stuation got better as my father became the representative to a local Soviet. (Council)
Of course this did not last long , all of a sudden the Soviet union collapsed along with our livelihoods.
We then moved to America, and that's how I'm talking to you now.
P.S I married into a Italian family, so I had to change my last name to speruggia, if you were wondering. (I always get questions about why a Russian has a Italian last name)
Another P.S I'm happy your economically stable, and your father is able to provide for you and your family.
Yeah i lived in my car too. Similar situation with my mom always complaining about being broke. Little does she know that she is in the global 1% of highest earners (I'm just barely outside it). Like OP, I'm not after pity points either. I know that i live in luxury and i am very thankful for it every day

I've been a decently strong fan of your animations for the short-ish time I've been aware of them, but I have to say, something about the quality of this one stood out to me, in a good way.

As population increases, people will get less and less money in a socialist country. The only way to combat this would be to *force* more labor unto the people, or to print more money which leads to inflation
Either of those happened and that isn't how the economy worked. You can get problems with the economy in quite a few ways, you can have deflation where there is not enough money for the system to operate, and inflation where there is to much money making it worthless. With a increasing population productivity will also increase since those people will try to be productive. This does not mean the system will run out of money as the BNP will go up as more products can be made. If you have this problem you should print more money so the money will not run out as it can't circulate the system fast enough. You will not have the issues of forcing people to do more labor as the reason you have to print more money is because you lack the money due to higher productivity.
The reason most socialists states forced people to work was because they wanted higher productivity without adding more people into it. People had to be forced to work as they gained little for working which means they only worked what was required by them.
Just because you get a higher population does not mean you get less and less money, that thinking is just retarded.
Printing money follows the same rules of supply and demand. The less money being printed, the lower the prices. The more money being printed, the higher the prices. If everyone was rich, then the stores have to raise prices to prevent from running out of stock. And for what? Worthless piles of paper in exchange for everything in their stores?
If the government would STOP PRINTING MONEY, then the money today could start actually becoming MONEY! And then $100 would give you actual $100, instead of $100 = $1.
@@USAFreewayROTF I don't think stop printing money is an issue, in for example the EU we have a central bank that focuses on limiting inflation at all cost even if there isn't any inflation to limit. Printing money isn't always bad. If productivity and the economy grow, you will eventually find that the money you have does not get circulated fast enough for everyone to keep on doing business as usual. If that happens there isn't enough supply to fulfill the demand for the money itself, and money have to be printed. It will deflate the worth of the money yes, but it will allow everything to work. You can not have a economic system where 1000 people are supposed to share on a total of 100 dollars where everyone owns 1 dollar.
@@Cloud_Seeker Yes, but then it gets to the point where there's too much money. With more and more money being printed, the common dollar, or pound, starts losing it's value. $1 or 1 pound has no more worth.
@@USAFreewayROTF The only time you have ever had runaway inflation or hyperinflation in history is when someone is trying to screw someone else out of the money they lent. You do never get hyperinflation without it being a decision to do so, hyperinflation is not something that normally show up in a market. Germany got hyperinflation when they tried to screw the allies out of the money they owned after WW1. I don't think you will find a single example of where hyperinflation isn't caused by the government being in massive debt and started to print money to pay that debt.

Damn, I'm way too obsessed with FreedomToons... I smiled so intensely when I saw that there was a new FreedomToons video and it wasn't "Strawmen" that people looked at me as if I were insane!
Anyway, this video reminded me of an amazing quote:
"There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal. Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality -- an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order." - Friedrich August von Hayek
Not a strawman? No one in their right mind wants to split income down the middle to solve inequality. This video presents nothing but a heap of dry straw.
Food for thought. Literally. Great job Freedom toons.
Either you can have some rich, some middle class, and some poor, as well as freedom.
Or you can have everyone be poor, with limited to no freedom.

However, saying "the world is flat" isn't an opinion, it's a misconception, because it has been empirically disproven. You are free to say you disagree, but he only defines the inequality as "good" and good is a relative term. Like big or small, it has to be in relation to something else. For something to be good, something in the same vein must be "bad". You should have instead asked him what he meant.
