This kinda sucks lol but I'd rather have everything we have from taxes... If I'm about to die a hospital and ambulance would be quite delightful. I'ma still watch this tho crazy shit :)!
This point of view ignores the notion that government should 'promote the general welfare' of the nation. When I was younger, I believed in this rather Libertarian point of view. I have since learned that some government expenditures for things like the arts has enriched my life in ways that I would never have anticipated when I was younger and less informed/experienced in life. As such, I now believe that the question is not whether the government should sponsored the arts but how much.
@phdtobe Yes, but what art do they sponsor? Who's art do they sponsor? If I produced a painting of a person urinating on the American Flag, should the government sponsor that? Or a painting of a person murdering an infant is that OK? Who makes that decision and why? Believe me, you do NOT want the government sponsoring the arts. All it does is potentially limit freedoms of speech in all forms. Let society decide what they want to sponsor, it is the only way to guarantee liberty and freedom.
I contribute many taxes too. Income tax, business tax, property tax, sales taxes, gas tax, carbon tax ect then the government gives it to stupid parents who have toomany kdis they can't afford and bums
They take your money then fuck your head using electronic harassment. Army Synthetic telepathy requires government honesty to stop it from causing a bloody revolution. NSA, CIA, Army intelligence is in too much denial to please anybody but themselves. Hazing monkeys is what became of America's finest minds. Harass people electronically. Hey Feds! Why do you want to be in control of other people when you cannot even control yourselves?Tell me that intelligence community.You have become a monster.
Governance is corporatism. Taxation is essentially a monopolized business contract imposed by force with mafia tactics. Its not a democracy, nor a republic, these are all glossy marketing terms. Its oligarchy.
Exactly, thats why the agenda never changes, regardless of the charismatic leader ''in power''. We are born into bondage, nothing more than human resources working for the benefit of the ruling class private interests that control the corporation.
this is why we dont live in a democracy, we live in a republic. seems like people dont know that. democracies screw the minority and the founder knew that
I wish that whenever someone brings up Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, it's really not a very good story about limited government. If you watch carefully, it's merely about one senator who wants government funding who's being cheated out of it by another senator who wants government funding; maybe Mr. Smith is a bit more altruistic, but he's no less violating the Constitution as the bad guy is.
GAAAhhh just talking about this in my philosophy class. We are were then enslaved because we dont even know we are!!!!
And our American way it to be cocky, to have "power" my car, my gun, my space, youtube. This is all to just distract us from how enslaved we really are!!!
Yes and no. He talks allot about how were enslaved to things and allot about whats going on in the world. But i dont think he could really say as much as he wants to without causing most of the idiots in my class to start calling him a communist or something.

If you're serious, you're wisdom is beyond your years.
When I was your age I was doing the player routine with worthless scanks & too stupid to see the value in a woman like Amity.
Today, I'm married to one similar. Not overly exciting or sexy, but more importantly Loyal & hard working . All the attributes that make up a good woman.
I'd give it 1 in 25 odds of finding one like that in todays hostile female environment. Tho you get extra bonus points for having good taste.
at least they can keep track of their money. Go to 6:00 in this video the pentagon has billions of dollars unaccounted for. Can you imagine if a private company suddenly lost track of billions of dollars, they would be finished.
yea people lie, lol like the govt doesnt? Can you imagine if a private business ran its accounting like the pentagon with $100s of billions unaccounted for? They would be finished. No private business would be able to get away with that, yet the govt does with burning your money
Precisely. When a monopoly screws up, treats its customers like shit (the people), nobody can do a damn thing because it lacks competition to keep it in check.
Gov't was originally meant to do no more than protect us from physical & contractual harm. Today, it expands its power whenever/wherever possible with aims to control us from cradle to grave.
Rome suffered the same fate. In the end, 1 civil servant per 1 worker, hyper inflation, implosion from within, weakend to outside attack.
Does John Stossel really believe that the Federal government runs all of those things? Doesn't he realize that state, municipal, and county governments run anything?
stossel mentioned the state, municipal and county govts. he is simply showing the federal govt becuase everyone in this country is affected by the federal govt regardless of where you live. there are numerous federal govt bodies and regulations, such as the FCC and DEA just to name a few.
and fannie mae and freddie mac screwed up their financial statements big time. they are govt sponsored enterprises, a mix of public and private entities, but really an outstretch of the federal reserve.
