2,000 Days of DDO: When in Recession, Taxes Should be Lowered
Arguments

Bitcoin is fundamentally sound
I believe Bitcoin is fundamentally sound and I invite anyone to prove otherwise. I will argue this in 2 ways: 1) Bitcoin meets the definition of money 2) Bitcoin is superior to its competitors which are widely recognized as fundamentally sound 1: Bitcoin is a store of value, a unit of account and a medium of exchange. These are the historical requirements of a "sound money." See the source below for evidence that Bitcoin can be (and has been) used in such ways: https://www.bitcoinstore.c...

Should the wealthiest Americans be taxed?
For starters, I'm a bit stunned. I cannot believe that Obama wishes to tax the wealthy Americans more heavily than they are already being taxed. Why does he want to do this?

Hahaha. Frankly, it has become my personal belief that Obama"s...

It would be mutually beneficial for farmers in the West to recruit agricultural interns from Africa
Farmers in Europe and America are always complaining that they are not rich enough: they say this is partly because the relatively high cost of farm labour in the West makes their produce uncompetitive in the global marketplace. Meanwhile in Africa farmers struggle to produce enough food even to meet local demand, mainly because the natives are not familiar with the modern farming techniques that are employed in the West to increase productivity and improve yields. With this being the ca...
Keeping The Federal Reserve
I'd like to thank my opponent, Zak, for accepting this debate. Best of luck to him. I'd like to start with my stance which validates the need for a central bank system (or the Federal Reserve, in particular). The Federal Reserve is a central bank, or a system of banking which acts as a regulatory arm of monetary policy. The Federal Reserve, currently chaired by Ben Bernanke, has stated the mission statement of the central bank of the United States on the website of the Federal Reserve. -...
