  • Business corruption is the root. Strike there. Most people assume, business naturally leads to competition and that keeps business honest. 'Business corruption is impossible' is the implication. But, the invisible hand is invisible because it isn't there, especially in any arbitrage situation. Fraud causes corruption, so the fraud can continue.

    I think that the specific solution proposed is at least workable, something very much like it could work. In any case if enough people look at this and become aware of the problem then any flaws in this solution could be corrected, and other solutions have been proposed.

  • Please share this video with as many as you can; the plutocracy has been too successful in nourishing and purifying its power & wealth over the past several decades. And, regardless of your typical political leanings, consider supporting Ron Paul - he is the best candidate for President in terms of limiting the power and scope of the corporatist federal government. Doesn't that merit alone outweigh whatever other criticisms you hold of Ron Paul?

  • A very good assessment of the problems associated with our legislature today. However, I'm concerned that the proposed solution seems a bit too *easy*. I would like to see more information about how these public finance systems work in practice before I would endorse them on a national level.
