• Why Did TED Talks Originally Refuse to Publish This Presentation on Taxing the Rich?

  May 18, 2012 at 7:51pm

  He is making the “robin hood” argument. Which in part is true. What he fails to recognize is that the “tax the rich” argument also hurts businesses because it doesnt distinguish between high income earners and businesses In bad economic times middle class and poor have to use all of their available capital to pay bills, buy gas, and put some in reserve for emergencies. So the poor and middle class end up not spending just because they dont know what is going to happen in the near future. Or if they will even have a job the next day.

  If the government taxes more to make people more comfortable being poor then you get more poor people and an ever increasing burden on those programs and ever increasing taxes. I’m not against having the good ole safety net but it shouldnt be a hammock.

• ‘Survive and Thrive’: You Won‘t Believe What’s in this Apocalypse Survival ‘Bag’

  well first off you can do a lot better cheaper. Firearms are subject to personal taste but you have to consider a few things. 1 is availability of parts in case you need a repair and 2nd you want a popular caliber so you can find ammo relatively easy. 12ga and 9mm work fine but somthing like a glock would be better just because of its popularity.

  Secondly replace all of the expensive bags/containers with lower cost items. I bought a really nice Remington backpack from walmart for $30 and it has more room than the one sited. Replace any of the high end air tight boxes with ziplock freezer bags. Leave the fishing pole behind and cut a long limb off a tree and tie some fishing line to it. Huck fin caught more fish than any of the modern angler eve will on a cane pole you can make do with it to. Carry a small drywall saw and an over sized bowie knife for processing firewood. Go to your local dollar store and buy some bandages and sterile pads for wound dressing as well as some medical tape. Get a manual water purification system. Save the weight of the solar panels. Get some 8‘ x 8’ tarps from a discount supplier which double as ground cover and tent. A good supply of duct tape, rope, twine, $2 emergency ponchos for trade or wear. Dust masks. small lockblade folding knife.

  More importantly have a plan of where you will go if something happens and how to get there on foot. If you dont know how to walk somewhere and the sun rises in the east, sets in the west, you are scr

• This Tiny Apartment Saves Space With a Walk-Thru Shower and Fridge in a Drawer

  Ahhh. a perfect socialist design. I realize prices in some cities are high but wow. I live in a pretty spartan home but i couldnt get over how this guy was proud of how much stuff he didnt have and how hard he is trying to make everyone see his point of view about not having so much stuff.

  Living in a place that small would drive me bonkers.

  So.. where is Boremans Husband or Male relative? Who let her out of the house without an escort? Why is she allowed to talk to other men at all?

• Secret Service Escort Slams Agents on ‘Today’: ‘Stupid Brutes’

  May 7, 2012 at 7:23pm

  Ok.. i have figured this whole thing out just from watching the interview.

  The guy she is talking about is not and never was a secret service agent.

  It was one of the guys from “Jersey Shore”. Probably “the situation”.

  Poor, stupid and showing off his abs. There is no doubt.

• ‘Weapon of the Future’?: Check Out to the Quadrotor Drone Equipped With a Machine Gun

  In reply to Kafir-Islamsux.

  because it is. I’m sure that a real working gun with a clip and reciever can be put on the vehicle and that the video capabilities of the quad are real but the “gun” on the quad is just a barrel. The shooting came from off camera and there were explosivie charges in the dummies that explode when shot.

  So except for the gun on the quad everything else is real. I’m not going to say that an actual working gun cant be attatched to the quad but in this video that one was not working.

  Guns too small and will kick too much and only has 2 shots. There are several much better models with more shots and reload faster including revolvers and semis.
