This blog is a result of many students wishing to delve into topics lightly discussed due to curricular demands but would like to investigate further. I am fortunate to teach students who want to challenge conventional wisdom and seek further discourse as a way to empower themselves to help shape the world they live in.

Banned Ted Talk ... I wonder why...hmmmmm
As we look into economic liberalism an agrument has been made in the last 30 years that lowering tax rates on the wealthy would be better for the economy as they would have the money to create new jobs. Wow...this banned ted talk video from a millionaire disputes this idea very much. The video can be found here. You can also get a further analysis of ted video from the YoungTurks (one of my fav news groups) here.
As you watch the video pause and reflect on the charts and what they suggest. Ask yourself what ideology this fits into and who the key people behind the type of thing for and against taxes are. Finally, where do you stand and why? Love to hear from you soon.
