Ep. 41 – Why are there poor people in the world’s richest country?

Sen. Bernie Sanders and other socialists constantly attack America's unequal distribution of wealth. They argue that we means we can afford more government programs and regulations.


The key to defeating those arguments isn't to respond directly to them. Victor shows that the real debate is happening beneath the surface.


Parental pause point questions:


1. Why are there vast differences in the amount of money that people have? (2:38)

2. Which of these argument do you find the most persuasive and why? (8:27)

3. How would you respond to that argument? (9:23)

4. What is normal: Poverty or wealth? (9:52)

5. If wealth isn't natural, why is the U.S. rich? (13:58)


The Great 8 questions:


1. What happens next?

2. Has this been tried before?

3. Is there a principle involved?

4. What are the trade-offs?

5. What do you mean by that?

6. Is this an appeal to emotion or logic?

7. Am I focused on the speaker or the argument?

8. What does the Bible say?
