Matt Welch Talks Income Inequality and Chinese Chicken-Processing on MSNBC

On Saturday, Sunday, Sept. 22, I appeared on MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry show to participate in a wide-ranging discussion on income inequality, economic mobility, Great Society programs, public education, international trade, and the unspeakable horror of chicken nuggets. About 45 minutes:

[The Late P Brooks]

You're a glutton for punishment, Welch.

[Jordan]

Spending 45 minutes with Melitha Harrith "All Your Children Are Belong To Us" Perry? Sweet Jebus.

[Paul.]

Uhm, it's "All Your Children Are Belong to Uth"

Thweet Jethuth.

Please get it right.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Why aren't these things advertised in Hit & Run anymore. It's almost like they don't want live running and insightful commentary on what everyone is wearing.

[Francisco d Anconia]

It's like they have no desire to better themselves.

[Paul.]

Reason is only a news aggregator site.

[Broseph of Invention]

I couldn't care less about income inequality, but tell me more about this Chinese chicken processing.

[Neoliberal Kochtopus]

Great now I have The Barenaked Ladies (and not the good kind) stuck in my head.

[UnCivilServant]

With the amount of cluck raised in this country, why would chinese chickens matter? Unless it's suddenly become more economical to buy leaded chickens from china than the locally grown birds.

[Raston Bot]

Matt along with an MSU professor, a Bloomberg editor, and somebody from Demos. Lemme guess, it was Matt vs everyone.

[The Late P Brooks]

why would chinese chickens matter?

RACISM.

[Spiny Norman]

I lasted a little over a minute. Her presentation is simply too annoying.

Was it Chickity China the Chinese chicken?

[Matt Welch]

That did get played as bumper music, yes.

[The Late P Brooks]

Her presentation is simply too annoying.

It's not the speech impediment, it's the smarmy juvenile TEAM TEAM TEAM preening that irks me.

[Paul.]

A group of people, ranging from industrious to least. They start earning the same amount. After a year, the most industrious tripled their income, the least industrious stayed the same or lost income.

Income inequality.

[Lady Bertrum]

Matt, you need to stop doing that show. You get very little face time and subject viewers to the stoooopidist yammering when you link. I watched a good 20 minutes and turned it off when I realized I'd lost IQ points (maybe I was hungry!!!!!).

[gritzly]

That was about an hour of massive stupidity.

[nero]

So sad to watch Matt point out that spending is skyrocketing in education and yet we have flat or worse results only to have 4 others on the panel brush it off saying, "That part from Reason there is completely wrong". O_O
