God this is so wonderful...I absolutely LOVE these videos...a beautiful woman speaking the TRUTH about what is in my opinion probably the most beautiful country on earth...
If Sweden becomes free market again I am moving there and STAYING.
I really appreciate that YouTube provides with such a big number of videos on Swedish culture and Swedish language. Even teached how to perform Swedish massage :) Thanks a lot for your video and all the other Swedish videos and channels like Speak Swedish Stupid and others for making me understand Swedish more.
This video is so unbelievable full of shit ! Venture capitalists are taking over everything you privatize shipping the profit off shore and any democratic control we as citizens had is now in the hands of multinational banks
The MARKET is what is unpredictable, well unless you are the person manipulating the market. The state spending is a lot more predictable than the market and if you think otherwise you never lifted your nose from your free market bible and took a look at the real world.
Liberal Americans like Obama think they could make America Sweden by employing the very same policies that Swedes have been turning their backs on for over two decades.
Importing Islam into Sweden is NOT a recipe for success for any country.I understand Sweden is a highly educated,atheist and secular country,now look.
Rich nations didn't have the fantastic growth they've had til the '70s because now they're facing competition from China and India. The US didn't rise taxes as Sweden did but their GDP per capita growth was not better. Plus, they're drowning in debt, and Sweden is not.
@B3bopALula the markets crashed because of the Federal Reserve keeping interest rates too low for for too long and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that encouraged banks to loan to unqualified borrowers in pursuit of "fairness". Get your facts straight.
I see. So now it is all a matter of banks and finance companies. So you are for real when you imply that:
1. Governaments that not just allow this to happen but even ruled in favor are NOT responsible
2. Corps that moved production lines in the East to make more money (and more, without a limit. Besides same corps were not really in financial jeopardy then, matter of fact their profit has grown 10 X but they are still claiming we are in recession). Don t believe in escapegoat!
I''d love to know why this financial crisis is so hard to overcome when Corps make 10x what they used to make in the 80s.
I also would like to know how come they moved prod. lines in the East but the East countries did not progress in terms of life standard. While in Western countries this created a void in employment that was hard to face! I want to know when is enough, basically. Because I'm not pro banks but I believe there is much more going on in this and I'm tired of jocks!
It's no question Ron Paul can win the Presidency, but can he win the Republican nomination? Unfortunately a good chunk of registered Republicans won't vote for Dr. Paul in their state's primaries, and most states have closed primaries. So if you want Dr. Paul to be a Presidential candidate, register Republican(even if you hate Republican's or belong to another party) and vote for Ron Paul in your state's Republican primaries. You can always switch later.
@scholion Thanks to Chinese, who bought your bankrupt Volvo. ;) Serisously, Sweden IS poor in all the standards, but stil manages to be a so called developed country. Wait, developed?! No, you cannot call a country where majority lives in f*ckin' blocks, eat chemistry and ride 50 year old failing trains to work. This is below Bangladesh :P
Question are you a member of Sweden's right-wing?, question: what is Sweden today, replies: Uncertain economy, Ever-expanding difference between rich and poor, Poor infrastructure and all this and more all thanks to the right-Alliance!.
@Danovio are Poles the ones with the fundamentalist religion sir? Your concept of modern immigration and it's problems is sorely lacking. Yes there are more Polish immigrants,not they aren't fundie Islamists. There is 1. A problem w/ a religious and cultural clash, and 2. A general problem were if your country imports many immigrants,especially those belonging to a non-inclusive religious group(marrying an outsider will be looked down upon), you will increase risk of social discord 100fold.
This is ridiculous.Swedes are dependent on cheap labor from Islamic countries which we have seen is leading to political instability and violence.it will either have to get rid of them or reduce immigrant rights like Dubai. Either way,this change has been brought on by the free market and points out the obvious flaws in the free market-doesn't care about social needs of a society.
@PtAltmVansanTarr Cheap labor from islamic countries? i thought we used polish people more? cus they are broker than people from islamic countrys.
to reduce someones rights is waaay wrong way to go, also doing so would mean that immigrants that has lived here for 10 years 20 years etc etc will be discriminated and that sir, is fucked up.
you can argue that it only would go for new immigrants, but later you should know that they will take it further.
@TheHortond gun laws in Sweden are one of the most strictest in the world. I do not know about the crime statistics however I would say it lies on an average line of a western country based on what I have heard.
@1Gabrielsson1 All you have to do is look it up. Sweden has one of the best rates of safeness in the world. Violent crimes per persons are one of the lowest in the world.
That is why there is an upcoming new classical liberal party.
Goverment is in the pocket of big corporations.
We also don't have much of a constitution compared to the US.
The only reasons that we've managed to survive is our (now, unfortunately pretty much state enforced) rapidly declining tollerance of other cultures, our easily cheated tax system and the fact that most of us actually work hard and care for the unfortunate.
Noxictyx is very unkeynsian of you to suggest that not going to war would have been your cause of prosperity. Many countries, the US included saw an economic boom after WW2.
Sweden is rich because we are honest in business, flexible, don't overestimate ourselves, skilled in engineering and technology, wish to remain friends with everyone, belive hard work is self-rewarding and understand why everyone has to look after one's own house.
Admittedly, we sometimes have made the wrong decicions in the past.
Today we don't make mistakes no longer - we create a Viking future.
@scholion i wish sweden would go back to being asatru but modern. Following the 9 virtues. that would be amazing, i want to move to sweden one day, land of the vikings. It would make my heathen heart happy hahah
Lol...we in sweden live in wellfare today because we didn't enter the WW2, and because we sell weapons to poor countries. She is all bullshit.
The railroads in sweden are unusable because they have been sold to corporations who hire other corporations to maintain the railraod system. It's now falling apart and corporations make big profits of it, and we taxpayers pay for it.
Less subsidies is always a good idea in my mind, if government should take any action on the economy of a nation it should be to break up monopolies or duopolies and such, and guard against trusts and racketeering. Bureaucracy is a cancer.

@worldnewsbbc1 When are you saying we had "lower taxes and less regulation?" Certainly not since the 1950s!
Economics suffers from the problem of too many variables. It is difficult to draw any conclusions from looking at one country because we can't hold all the variables not of interest constant. Government spending, the behavior of the Fed, and regulations all factor in. Broaden your study and look at which countries are wealthy and which are not.
The US is not Sweeden. We can simply compare how the US economy performed between 1950-1979 with how it has performed between 1980-2009. Real per capita GDP increased at an annualized rate of 2.36% between 50-79. Between 80-09 it grew at a rate of 1.71%. S&P grew at 10.45% between 50-79. Between 80-09 it grew at 10.36%. Lower taxes and less regulation corresponds with slower growth in the United States. Case closed.
Sweden is able of, today, doing what Florence did during the Renaissance; namely inspiring the World into a more productive way of functioning.
What is so unique about Sweden? Unlike other Europeans, Swedes have always viewed themselves as the true masters of their own house. But just like Florence of the 15th century was influential, but didn't manage to steer the development of Europe at that time, Sweden can not lead Europe at large. Yet, Sweden has "a say" - and an important one that is..
To have this garbage said about my country with such a smug attitude is annoying to say the least. Quite clearly the low tax rates in the US didn't help to keep it's economy growing. There's nothing to say that the recipe laid out here is the correct one. All the rich countries today have one thing in common, an interventinist past.Would that be the case if it had no merits? This is especially true for the US.Her arguments are ideological and there has never been nor ever will be a "free market"
Tough to take any video seriously when the "peeing in the your pants" analogy is used. Beyond ridiculous. You lost most of your serious viewing public by using such inappropriate language. There are so many more effective ways to communicate such a message.
Raw capitalism is detrimental to the people. You need a balance with free education, healthcare and much of the welfare we are given today. The systems need reform and tuneups to go smoother, be more efficient and more available. Helping those in need to recover while at the same time providing support for those who are healthy to reach their full potential.
We need more payout for less investment, it is possible once someone push for momentum. My - bet 80's-00's generation will make it happen.
Did anyone know that Sweden's Steele-industry was at work throughout WW2? And that some bombs were accidentally dropped on important infrastructures and cities in the war, so nations needed to buy Steele to restore their countries? Well, we got rich on that. And we took advantage of the Marshall plan, expanded our consumption-culture and so on.. It's not all about the hubris of the government of the 70-90s.
Gov. is a parasite. The wealthier a nation becomes the larger the parasite will swell until it consumes it's host. Sweden never had a free market. You can't call it a free market when the gov. has a brutal monopoly on currency.
Perhaps you should not compare biology to economics.
The free market of Sweden is not comparable to your free market, but that is not a justification of calling it bad. There is not a monopoly on currency in Sweden either.
@LordOfHistory Almost everything you said is the opposite of truth. You have been propagandized quiet well. Props to Sweden's educational system. Again, we don't have a free market. You don't have a free market, and of course there's a monopoly on currency there...Do everyone a favor? Go to the dictionary and look up the words like monopoly, and free market before trying to debate.
You realize that your attempt at calling my statement a lie can be fully converted the other way unto you.
By "we", is it we the world or we in Sweden? I suggest you at least take slightly more information into consideration before you base your entire statement on youtube videos.
If it is a question of definitions, I might agree. But if this is a democratically chosen way of life and Sweden is doing more than fine, what is the problem?
@LordOfHistory "You realize that your attempt at calling my statement a lie can be fully converted the other way unto you." Yes it's true you can call my statements lie's. Just like you can say 2+2=tomato. Though you would be incorrect.
"By "we", is it we the world or we in Sweden? " By we i mean the U.S......Obviously...
pt2 "If it is a question of definitions, I might agree." Are you serious? Are you aware that words have meaning? This is how you sound...If i where to say "here take this cup," and you said "that's a airplane." Then I said "no, it's a cup", and you reply, "well if where going to go by definitions i might agree." Really you might? Well if you don't then why argue with someone who believes words have subjective meaning. I might as well argue with someone who speaks a language i don't know.
pt3 "if this is a democratically chosen way of life and Sweden is doing more than fine, what is the problem?" This is off subject, but whatever I'll answer...If you think that democracy is in your best interest then it is voluntary. The problem is that people are subjected to your preferences, and it's not voluntary to them. It is violet subjugation to them. Whether people see this as the problem or not, this is what i believe the problem is. The problem with the system is violence.
As for definitions, if YOU decide that the definition of free market is a market which YOUR in, then I DISAGREE to your DEFINITION. Re-read until you understand.
As for pt3, would you care to explain what you meant with "if you think that democracy is in your best interest then it is voluntary. The problem is that people are subjected to your preferences, and it's not voluntary to them."
@LordOfHistory "to the moon" No, it would be like claiming a cup is in fact a cup and not an airplane. Then you ask me to provide evidence. I already sent you to the dictionary. I believe the rest is common sense. I never said i was in a free market. I wouldn't, because i know what the term means. "care to explain" I rather not explain theory in the comment section. If you're interested in voluntarism go check out setfbot's channel. He explains it well, or google voluntarism.
@LordOfHistory Ok, i am assuming you are talking about this statement "The free market of Sweden is not comparable to your free market, but that is not a justification of calling it bad. There is not a monopoly on currency in Sweden either." OK lets pretend you said market instead of "free market". I never called Sweden's market "bad" so i don't understand your point. I never made a claim that Sweden is "corrupt in it's foundations".
Ok, then my impression of your statement was wrong.
However, I still must disagree with you. I do believe Sweden has a free market and to support it I have official records of the Swedish government, the Swedish peoples opinion and the ability to access and freely contribute and work in the national area.
@LordOfHistory Does your government control the currency and interest rates? Will a company go to jail for creating a new currency for Sweden? Does your gov. subsidize any industry? Does your gov regulate any industry at all? If you said yes to any one of these questions it is by definition not a free market. So stop calling it that.
@drogden not even America has a "free market system", and the few that do (I can only think about Haiti and Somalia actually) kinda suck. Haiti was in disrepair even before the earthquake because it had gigantic social problems caused by a failure from the economic policies, which btw the Swedish socialdemocratic governments have counter-worked by decreasing segregation, via for example taxes, and Somalia doesn't have any proper government which can do anything. Btw, the movie is incorrect...
@Nyhetsankan "not even America has a "free market system"" You didn't read my other comments did you? I'm not standing up for this video...I know it is incorrect.
@Nyhetsankan Haiti and Somalia has a free market system? Both of these countries have a lot of barriers to starting a new business, meaning that your generally have to pay a lot of bribes just to open shop.
@FatherBrain Might very well be so, I can't really say but corruption tends (generalizing) to be high in poor countries with bad social standard. Although at the same time I do doubt that you need a permission to start a business in Somalia since they lack a proper government, have no taxes and so forth. Basically, "who cares?". So these countries are good examples of Free Market-countries, since you have a low or non-existent taxation system, low gov interference and hardly no welfare via tax.
@Nyhetsankan Low gov interference??? I know a Haitian who left her country to start her business, because she got fed up with all the bureaucratic nonsense, not to mention corruption, she would have to go through to start her company in Haiti. How can you possibly classify this as "low gov interference"? Also, do you think these government hurdles might be causing Haitian poverty?
@FatherBrain I can't really tell how Haiti is, since everything I know about the place is based on the information I get from Swedish media, general education is school and sites like ne.se and wikipedia. However I can still argue that the country is far more "unleashed" then most others, thereby making them more of a "Free market"-country. And as to the question about gov hurdles, no I believe that poverty is born from policies which create segregation. Gov hurdles might just as well protect.
@Nyhetsankan I don't understand this comment. You acknowledge that you really can't tell how Haiti is, but then contend that you can tell that Haiti is more "unleashed" than other places! The true experts on this topic are the Haitian entrepreneurs, and they do not find Haiti to be particularly free. You state that Haitian poverty is caused by segregation policies. But aren't these policies a huge government intervention that does not exist in most other countries?
@drogden well boohoo. I bet the bank directors and other top bracket people are crying in there golden houses because they cant afford the extra gold for the door handle.
@drogden good analogy for the first part. what do you mean by a monopoly on currency? someone has to produce the paper and coins used as money and that has to be the government because providing the currency is a public good and you can hardly sell notes and coins for a profit as that just doent make sense.
@maxgunn555 There are a million ways a company can profit from creating currency. Money is just a another commodity like a car. What would give it it's value is how practical it is as a means of exchange and the stability etc... Banks could offer their own currency or not. Who supplies it is irrelevant as long as using it is voluntary. The difference is there would be COMPETITION.
@maxgunn555 Competition is needed to create stability and allows for the product to progress. By allowing gov. to monopolize the currency we are stunting it's progress, and creating instability among other things. Yes, we are still on horse back when it comes to currency and who knows where we could be. Currency is the life blood of a market, and we are royally screwing our self's by allowing these people to control it artificially.
@drogden do you mean the gov has a monopoly on the exchange rates or the fact it can increase and decrease money supply. when you say monopoly do you mean monopoly in creating money notes and coines? also i dont seee how anyone else could do this because like i said it's a public good you couldnt have anyone making money and then selling that money because all mooney within coutry and has to be the same and given for free.
@maxgunn555 The monopoly they have is on the money supply and all aspects of it. The second part of what you said is hilarious. =p What do you mean by "Public Good"? And why is a Public good exclusively controlled by the gov. and no one else? No money doesn't all have to be the same. The money we use now isn't all the same...People use digital currency all the time. If some form of currency becomes popular store owners will accommodate them...
@maxgunn555 What if the gov supplied all the cars? Would that be a "public good". If we all had dune buggies and that's all we could get. Would you tell me that everyone has to have dune buggies? And that you can't imagine how it will work. "How will we get our dune buggies they have to be free and the same?" rofl
No they don't dude. People will figure that shit out.
@drogden you do realise money is a public good because money benefits everyone ie without money a person would have to through all the links bartering his good to get something for the person who has what he wants. he would be doing a public good by going through that process. thus money which makes it so that no one has to do that process is a public good. you didnt answer my 2 questions... cars are a private good when i use it it only benefits me not everyone else unlike bartering.
It's like watching a christian promoting christianity. I would like to see some proof of these obvious(?) correlations exist but I guess that proof is considered a nuisance by all your neo-liberal think tank buddies.
There is a great discrepancy at work here - it's called neo-liberals in reality.
This is a good example of a series of Chomsky videos that explain the real economic system of the USA: Search youtube for "State-Capitalist "Free Market" Fantasies: Noam Chomsky"
1) "laissez faire capitalism is impossible as there has never been a free capitalistic system theres always been a ruling class of some kind regulating it" so what? at the founding of the USA some argued that a country without slavery could never exist because there has always been a slave class. They were wrong, and so are you.
2) "free markets & capitalism are not synonymous" this is correct, but "capitalism is always gov't regulations" is not...
the difference is that the term 'free market' describes an economy whereas 'capitalism' describes the political system that makes a free market possible.
3) "free markets are more an anarchic idea or anti-statist idea" this is as wrong and evil an idea as one could ever possibly conceive. Freedom is not simply a negation of force - just as no valid concept can be defined as the negation of something else. ..
Freedom is the state of being enjoyed by a man living in a state that protects the rights that are absolutely necessary for him to live a life consistent with his nature. They are the rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. Anarchy is a negation of all the conditions necessary for man's life... far from being the opposite of socialism, it is ultimately the only possible consequence of socialism.
@curiositygun93 because the force necessary to protect freedom is not a product like a toothbrush or a laptop. To be honest, I'm not interested in debating this issue with you: to do so would imply that as an anarchist you give some shadow of a shit about what is true. My comment was to highlight for the benefit of third parties that you are talking shit and slandering the concepts of free markets and capitalism.
@dannidandannikins & free markets will arise out of stateless societies since how else would you get the maximum benefit & safety ratio when dealing with another person
stealing is dangerous since this other person may try to defend his life & having someone help you steal from someone is just as dangerous since indifferences may arise & you won't know how long they will help you
trading would be the only way that you could get something from that person safely [cont]
yes socialism may arise in anarchism but it may fail not just because of incentives but it may try to arise out of force which won't work
i have no problem with socialism as long as it's voluntary & i'm pretty sure in this world of mine work owned firms may arise & work a lot like cells or organs in a human body just theory but who know what will happen in a free market where your free to do anything as long as you don't infringe on anyone else's right
@dannidandannikins please point me to a time there was capitalism without a gov't of some kind???
& markets will always exist there the only way humans have a way of doing things (except if your the gov't thats different)i believe in free markets but saying laissez faire to the state is impossible since they can never let go
LESSON FOR THE LEMMINGS = “It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” -- Aristotle
The Delusional Deniers are directly responsible for the TORTURE OF WORKING CLASS AMERICANS whom they lie about a concern for their welfare. Ignorance and intentional avoidance of TRUTH d...oes not exonerate them from the evil that they do. There is entirel too much data and current information on other countries rethinking that desctructive course and changing
I don't see why laissez-faire capitalists hate regulations so much. If the free market is so great, the minimum wage wouldn't matter, because every worker would make well over $10/hour.
Capitalism require some regulatons to protection against theft, fraud, violence etc. What laissez-faire capitalists hate are the continual legal theft of their property by politicians.
Regarding minimum wage. Its prevents entry into the market and thus hurts the least skilled workers. If it is far below the market wage, then its almost irrelevant buts if it is above it is destructive. Just imagine it was 100$/hour and think about what would happen next.
@Illyrien Here in Iowa, minimum wage is $7.25 (7.25*40 hours/week*50 weeks/year=$14500/year). Yet the GDP is over $40,000/year/person. In a country this wealthy, why should any worker make under $15,000/year? They might lack skills, but they're doing jobs that have to be done. You may be right that minimum wage laws cause unemployment, and my argument isn't really for a higher minimum wage, just saying that a system shouldn't allow people to make so little in the 1st place.
You've obviously never studied the history of Banking in America.
You'd then realize that interventionism is what caused the 08 recession and the Great Depression.
People would most likely make more if their was no minimum wage.
that way workers can actually compete with each other.
say I'm getting paid $3 an hour. I'm the best worker in the business but my boss won't give me a raise but then the rival store can offer me more and the my current store could match it.
And this cunt is lying here - according to taxpolicy(dot)org Sweden is taxed at nearly 50% of their GDP.
Free Trade is good for prosperity? What bull shit - how have average Americans fared since "free trade" came about and most good jobs flew out of the country?
@twochordcool Uh retard it has never been free trade and taxes and regulations are why the jobs are leaving this country. You make no sense. The rich save more money with tax breaks so they fuck up the economy. Shouldn't they be spending. Learn eco 101 there are highs and lows in our system I'd like to see your refrence on how every time we give the rich tax breaks we get into a reccession
@twochordcool Except she provided facts for everything she said and you are just acting butt-hurt that your favorite welfare state is reversing course ever since the liberal government won. She showed that the tax rate was reduced from 70% to 50% so I don't know what you are whining about. It is a well known FACT that Sweden has undergone recent mass privatization, introduced school vouchers and deregulated.
@bonfirejovi WRONG pinhead - most EVERYTHING in Sweden is owned by the state - a FEW things have been privatized. Do you think the vast majority of people in Sweden, who have it so good, would EVER want to be anything like us here in the United States? It's NEVER going to happen. They pay high taxes because they are PROVIDED so much. This is nothing but American right wing "think" tank PROPAGANDA, LIES AND MISINFORMATION.
The T.V. thing was a talking point. I' ve already explained why. No not every job should because some jobs Pizza delivery guy, Fast food attendent,(all examples like the t.v.) etc. require less skill to perform. Also as I said before you are not trapped in your job. If you don't like working at Mc D's look for a job at a better Restaurant. One where you may earn tips with a better salary.
@jsh78mang If you weren't so busy jerking off in a dark space to conservative free market bull shit you would notice there is a shortage of good paying jobs right now - and that will be permanent if most Americans listen to dickheads like you. PLENTY of jobs you can't survive on though.
All while companies, corporation and businesses profit beyond belief.
Haven't I told you to shut up already? You're stupid.
@twochordcool Ok I jerk of in dark places but only so no one sees. Really pal have you ever owned and run a business? Or are you a desk jockey crying out because your life sucks so much, and you don't weant to fix it. . The best way get jobs back here is to make it easier on businesses. You know how much they get taxed(even mom and pops)? Not only that but all the bullshit that goes with it. All the permits have skyrocketed in the last few years that and license fees are through the roof.
@jsh78mang MORE right wing MYTH bull shit. Read it and weep asshole: According to the taxpolicycenter(dot)org - "U.S. taxes are low relative to those in other developed countries. In 2006 U.S. taxes at all levels of government claimed 28 percent of GDP, compared with an average of 36 percent of GDP for the 30 member countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development(OECD)"
@jsh78mang AND "Among OECD countries only Mexico, Turkey, Korea, and Japan had lower taxes than the United States as a percentage of GDP. In many European countries taxes exceeded 40 percent of GDP, but those countries generally provide much more extensive government services to their citizens than the United States does"
You don't KNOW anything - and it's probably because you merely go on hearsay, and/or get your news and information from dickheads LIARS like Rush Limbaugh and Neil Boortz
@jsh78mang And CONTRARY to what you have heard, when taxes are this LOW on the rich and corporations, THIS is the economy you get. EVERY time we have had extremely low taxes on the wealthy in the last 100 years we had a MAJOR crisis follow it. Trickle down supply side VOODOO economics don't work. They just take theri tax breaks and put it in their pockets. You need a "carrot and stick" approach to taxing the rich - PAY HIGH TAXES OR REINVEST AND HIRE.
Notice how this socialist weenie tries to demonize(using a form of propaganda) me to get others on his side. I never said people should live in a card board box. Or not have anything fun. People however do over spend on frivolous things.You don't need a 2-3 thousand dollar 55inch H.D.T.V. you can get a 3-5 hundred dollar one 780 30 inch. Do I need to make a list for idiots like you of nobodies that came from nothing or next to that became rich or upper middle class?
All this fucking retarded talk about labor wage demands - I'll take a pay cut when the assholes at the top take the same percentage of a cut. And when the shareholders expect a comparable cut on the returns of their investments.
"Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: 'The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.'"
@jsh78mang Typical brainwashed free market pawn / stooge. You go be a dupe and work for lower wages while CEO's are being paid 500 times what an average worker makes - I'm not a fool. I'll shine a light on the corruption and lies until I gasp my last breath. You on the other hand are a sucker.
@twochordcool No I'm a realist these people only have the money they have because we gave it to them. Do you need internet do you need an 8 dollar coffe? Computers wide screen tv? No you could live fine without T.V. or any of these things. You choose to making them rich. People that work harder usually do get Raises or better positions. You don't have to work for them. Don't. or better job hunt till you find a better job or working enviorment. I know many that have.
We as a nation have become a bunch of children with the I'm entitled bullshit. You want it you earn it ask Billgates or Oprah. They made their money because people wanted what they offered. In the Blue collar feild you work under a master until you become one then sart your own business or work for someone for more. This isn't The soviet russia of old. Look at Jim Carey he was 30 or 40 when he was final found and started making the big bucks. You can make it, you just have to try.
@jsh78mang Yeah asshole because EVERYONE is born with Bill Gates genius. Oprah found her niche and filled a void on TV. There isn't a need for millions of Oprahs. She was the right person at the right place at the right time - I'm sure there are a million Oprah clones that can keep walking because there is no major demand for them. If you work you're entitled to a living wage - especially if there is some asshole with a mansion, private plane and yacht at the top of that business.
@jsh78mang So asshole, all the wage slaves should just live in card board boxes with no possessions or comforts, huh?
What do you think about Henry Ford paying his workers considerably more than the going wage at the time, theorizing that if they were paid well they could AFFORD to buy his cars and make him EVEN RICHER?
@twochordcool Slaves. HMM they make money doing a job they are paid for and can leave at anytime to work somewhere else. Yet you refer to them as slaves. I'll say it again you marxist toad THIS IS NOT YE OLD SOVIET RUSSIA. A wide screen H.D. T.V. is a want not a need you can do just fine on a 27 inch. I'm stupid you think everyone should have a mansion,toilet that washes there ass for them and a indoor pool. As for Ford his idea may or may not have worked I'm sure some saved the money.
@jsh78mang Ford may have made some money form this but you never said they had to buy a car from him and they probaly got a discount for being employees as well. Essentially getting the car for less then you or me. What's the problem with that? Your a joke, your theories are jokes, your ideals are jokes. Marxism is a joke. Your the problem in this country just because I have a job I'm entitled to free everthing. From a pool to a mansion. Even if I work at MC D's.
@jsh78mang Listen dickhead, you're too hung up TV's. I'm suggesting that ANYBODY that is willing to do ANY job in the US should earn enough to cover all their basic necessities - modest, clean shelter, a car, health care, and food. If a company, business, or corporation is profitable, then the workers ought to have decent pay - especially if people are getting rich. If you don't believe that you're just a moronic ideologue and should just fuck back off to that cave you crawled out of.
Great video presentation. Also, you are right about government regulation. They should focus in investing in the private sector by extending them liquidity at low rates or grants in order to finance growth, expansion and technological development.
Lies lies and more lies. This is like saying GW Bush economic policy's is the way to go..... think not ! Swedens strength is in "the swedish model" You can look that up. As a Swede you can clearly see that the Left-wing politics was way more effective and gave sweden a real economic strength in the years before the right-wings took over. But they are out of office in September i guess.
G. Pure right wing propaganda for idiots _by_ brainwashed idiots. Pure and simple. Go watch documentaries on economy that truly understands the issues like the One Nobel Laureate Milton Friedmann recommends: "The Money Masters" & "The Secret of Oz" by Bill Still - type google video, enter and then the title. or go to freedocumentaries
The socio-democratic economic system that Sweden employs can never acheive the same results here in America because of the large scale of our economic influence. Sweden's area of impact is but a drop in the vast ocean that is American economics.
They thankfully saw the handwriting on the wall. Back in the 90's I recall it was forecast they would be the first truly collapsed economy in the EU. They've pulled back from the brink...only to watch the US left fail to learn from their costly mistakes.
@jeanpaulfelix You need to study before you speak. I was at a conference at a Swedish consulate just a few weeks ago. They went on for an hour about how their turn away from socialism was finally beginning to take hold and their economy was starting to come back from the brink. They were Swedish economists and trade experts...not media fools.
Two years ago, the EU economic council considered Sweden to be the most endangered nation in the EU...now they are no longer at the bottom.
".... instead of letting inefficient companies fail, and leave room for new and more productive ones."
I guess that was what Thatcher had in mind when closing coal mines in my valley. . . now. . . im the 2nd generation on the dole . . . and where I live there are 80 benefit recievers to every 1 job being advertised.
So, may I ask, where are these new productive companies in South Wales? I just might apply for a job there.

@worldnewsbbc1 When are you saying we had "lower taxes and less regulation?" Certainly not since the 1950s!
Economics suffers from the problem of too many variables. It is difficult to draw any conclusions from looking at one country because we can't hold all the variables not of interest constant. Government spending, the behavior of the Fed, and regulations all factor in. Broaden your study and look at which countries are wealthy and which are not.

Lower taxes and less regulation corresponds with slower growth in the United States. Case closed.

What is so unique about Sweden? Unlike other Europeans, Swedes have always viewed themselves as the true masters of their own house. But just like Florence of the 15th century was influential, but didn't manage to steer the development of Europe at that time, Sweden can not lead Europe at large. Yet, Sweden has "a say" - and an important one that is..

Raw capitalism is detrimental to the people. You need a balance with free education, healthcare and much of the welfare we are given today.

It's like watching a christian promoting christianity. I would like to see some proof of these obvious(?) correlations exist but I guess that proof is considered a nuisance by all your neo-liberal think tank buddies.
There is a great discrepancy at work here - it's called neo-liberals in reality.

we've got to get something strait
laissez faire capitalism is impossible as there has never been a free capitalistic system theres always been a ruling class of some kind regulating it
free markets & capitalism are not synonymous capitalism is always gov't regulations
free markets are more an anarchic idea or anti-statist idea
curiositygun93 1 year ago
@curiositygun93 you are absolutely wrong.
1) "laissez faire capitalism is impossible as there has never been a free capitalistic system theres always been a ruling class of some kind regulating it" so what? at the founding of the USA some argued that a country without slavery could never exist because there has always been a slave class. They were wrong, and so are you.
2) "free markets & capitalism are not synonymous" this is correct, but "capitalism is always gov't regulations" is not...

the difference is that the term 'free market' describes an economy whereas 'capitalism' describes the political system that makes a free market possible.
3) "free markets are more an anarchic idea or anti-statist idea" this is as wrong and evil an idea as one could ever possibly conceive. Freedom is not simply a negation of force - just as no valid concept can be defined as the negation of something else. ..

Freedom is the state of being enjoyed by a man living in a state that protects the rights that are absolutely necessary for him to live a life consistent with his nature. They are the rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness. Anarchy is a negation of all the conditions necessary for man's life... far from being the opposite of socialism, it is ultimately the only possible consequence of socialism.

@dannidandannikins why can't the market defend freedom?
why does there need to be a monopoly of law private defense???
curiositygun93 1 year ago
@curiositygun93 because the force necessary to protect freedom is not a product like a toothbrush or a laptop. To be honest, I'm not interested in debating this issue with you: to do so would imply that as an anarchist you give some shadow of a shit about what is true. My comment was to highlight for the benefit of third parties that you are talking shit and slandering the concepts of free markets and capitalism.

@dannidandannikins & free markets will arise out of stateless societies since how else would you get the maximum benefit & safety ratio when dealing with another person
stealing is dangerous since this other person may try to defend his life & having someone help you steal from someone is just as dangerous since indifferences may arise & you won't know how long they will help you

yes socialism may arise in anarchism but it may fail not just because of incentives but it may try to arise out of force which won't work
i have no problem with socialism as long as it's voluntary & i'm pretty sure in this world of mine work owned firms may arise & work a lot like cells or organs in a human body just theory but who know what will happen in a free market where your free to do anything as long as you don't infringe on anyone else's right

I don't see why laissez-faire capitalists hate regulations so much. If the free market is so great, the minimum wage wouldn't matter, because every worker would make well over $10/hour.

@iahawkeye1515
Capitalism require some regulatons to protection against theft, fraud, violence etc. What laissez-faire capitalists hate are the continual legal theft of their property by politicians.
Regarding minimum wage. Its prevents entry into the market and thus hurts the least skilled workers. If it is far below the market wage, then its almost irrelevant buts if it is above it is destructive. Just imagine it was 100$/hour and think about what would happen next.
Illyrien 1 year ago
@Illyrien Here in Iowa, minimum wage is $7.25 (7.25*40 hours/week*50 weeks/year=$14500/year). Yet the GDP is over $40,000/year/person. In a country this wealthy, why should any worker make under $15,000/year? They might lack skills, but they're doing jobs that have to be done. You may be right that minimum wage laws cause unemployment, and my argument isn't really for a higher minimum wage, just saying that a system shouldn't allow people to make so little in the 1st place.

You've obviously never studied the history of Banking in America.
You'd then realize that interventionism is what caused the 08 recession and the Great Depression.
People would most likely make more if their was no minimum wage.
that way workers can actually compete with each other.
say I'm getting paid $3 an hour. I'm the best worker in the business but my boss won't give me a raise but then the rival store can offer me more and the my current store could match it.

They were Swedish economists and trade experts...not media fools.
