@daydreamascent you are fucking stupid china has no means of taking over the United states first of all with out the U.S. chinas economy would be nothing so why would they attack us? Second chinas navy and air force is a joke surely they have a large army but of what? Poorly trained men the United states naval and air forces would destroy them in combat America is still on top we just need to get back on our feet!
@hempartist420 i simply took this argument and expanded it, to what its about, because politics all relate and is an entanglements upon its self, PS again 30% IS WAY TO FUCKING MUCH
@hempartist420 Oh sorry i missed the electorate part oh and for your information, i am libertarian, not to mention the rich are OVER TAXED, its a thing called paying for what you use, the rich use less government services then the poor, there for they should pay LESS taxes, its not fair that someone who makes 3m a year, pays 900k in taxes that is ridiculous mean while other people pay 1k or 5k, or 15km the middle class hasn't gotten lazy,i never said that,
@hempartist420 oh hempartist420, i see what kind of person im talking to, ps i believe in legalization not out of me wanting to get high but because its a human right, to do what you want with you self, it is left wing to control the population, ps its left wing to want to regulate,
@hempartist420 You really have no idea who you are talking to, i get into debates every day with my professors, its fun, and i'm good friends with them
@hempartist420 Not to mention Obama has created the current rescission, because what happened was a market correction, a collapse happens because the free-market is doing a market correction, there is no way to prevent a collapse if you try and prevent it it will only turn into a depression, when the government inter-fears in collapse it only makes thing worse, Obama did just that he interfered massively, ps its left wing to inter-fear in the economy
@hempartist420 The gap between the rich and poor is not a problem its only made out to be a problem because people like you are envious and jealous, the rich are finding new and innovative ways to invest their money. They are reaping the reward. It is not a problem, ps the rich pay 30% of Americas taxes, its the smart people that are gaining the IT people, Engineers, and so on, you are paid what your skills are worth, a shit shovel-er will never make a lot because his job doesn't require skill
@hempartist420 corporate person hood isn't a problem, the problem is them being allowed to buy out politicians, that is what needs to change, corporate person hood, there is nothing wrong with it, but you probably watched the corporation, ps i did too and it is filled with holes, missing information, not to mention they twisted many many facts, and truths Ps Its Africa were there are child soldiers are, Ps im from Africa, and america hasn't fought a war in Africa since DEMOCRAT CLINTON
@hempartist420 both are war parties your beloved Obama is in more wars then BUSH, i didnt like bush., wasteful spending isnt only on wars, heck they only spend 1t of their 4t budget on military do you know where the other 3t goes? Social programs, such as welfare, and Obama trillion dollar Obama care, not to mention all of Obama's failiers in investing, Solyndra, a solar panel company Obama endorsed he loaned them 500m of tax payer dollars, they are now bankrupt and its not the only incident

@wowzinger "The International Monetary Fund predicts China will overtake the U.S. in 2016, which will effectively end the 'Age of America' a decade before most analysts had expected.
It means that whoever wins the 2012 presidential election will have the dubious honour of presiding over the fall of the United States."
@hanmerboys Opinion: 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. 2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal 3. the formal expression of a professional judgment:
Fact: 1. something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.
2. something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact.
I can't fit all the definitions, but your use of the word fact is clearly wrong.
@hardstyle905 wow you are really ignorant arnt you, you clearly know nothing about Canada, hold on i just have to shew away the polar bear from my iglue
@hanmerboys My friend Canadas natural population cant even replace itself.This will be the year where the first group of boomers will retire.How will Canada support these boomers and their pension plans? Who will cough up the monies? Canada is a rich country no doubt but to me it looks more like so, I'm a suckie hockey player but you're 5 times better than I am.Guess what , since I don't know how to play hockey you will pay me try and get to your level and I will do nothing in return.FreeLoadin
Globalists don't want the average guy setting up businesses and inventing cool stuff like free energy and cancer cures. That's what this video completely omits. The whole world is under one government called the IMF( based in Washington DC). They decide what a country gets to do in accordance to their "economic stability model" and a world full of wealthy free people is not part of that model. It's not freedom but in fact slavery that pays the bills.
People from all over the country are so dedicated to come to America, some risk their lives, and some die, just to get to this country. Anyway, all you Canadians or English people calling all Americans fat, first off:
1.) Only 33% of America is fat, and I've seen some fat people in your countries as well.
2.) Our government sucks, and that makes the economy suck, making people lose jobs, causing depression. People eat when they're depressed.
Look at Hong Kong today it has racial tensions between Filipinos and Chinese. The Chinese say "FIlipinos are stealing jobs from the Chinese born citizen" and "All Filipinos enter Hong Kong Illegally" while the Filipino says "You're exploiting us and oppressing us" and "Were taking jobs that the Chinese won't do". Look at India today all the Computer, web and software jobs that used to be in San Jose have moved to Mumbai.
in vietnam the same thing u can open or close ur business within week their no tax regulation permit .there a woman make cake take real good she brin her cak out to the store sell them ppl eat them. no tax notin her eu need a city permit. i wan sell 5 cars acura miata hybrid lexus and a toyota but cudn cuz i need a expensive car dealer license that bs
Obviously, India's problem is over-population. There is no way they can provide jobs for so many people. They must follow China's example: one child per family. India has always been over-populated throughout their history. Isn't it time they've done something about it?
america has more stuff because the chinese are making them and shipping them to america. when the time comes that they will no longer ship stuff to america, america will die.
America is number 1. People need to get there heads out of there assholes and learn the value of a dollar. The government needs to stop paying for everything, we don't need free health care people.
@joncoish what a fool saying america sucks.obviously we r the best by far no doubt about it.we have the higherst standard of living(happy living)we made the internet google youtube the atom bomb most scientific breakthroughs general theory of relativity and quantum mechanics.also we have double the second highest countrys economy qand 6 times the second highest countrys military power.we make all the movies tv channels we have free lawyers food medicals and the fairest justice system etc.etc.
@CaptinJustinDB haha, obviously I was joking. The US doesn't suck, but it's not necessarily number 1. This video just seems like pure propoganda, and anyone who believes all this crap is a fool!
The reason why Americans have been so prosperous is because we don't overpopulate our society like most other impoverished countries but things are clearly changing since this video came out. More poorer immigrants from South America (65%), Asia, and Africa are coming into America by the thousands every day and when they get here what do they do? Yeap you guessed it, they have as many kids as they want and head straight to the welfare office and other social programs. Now our country is in debt
You do realize that the majority of people on welfare are white don't you? So if you want to blame all of our financial problems ,such as debt, on welfare (which is preposterous), then whites would be the main source of the problem.
@dmeiske1 Bull. Did you watch the video? Hong Kong is twice as densely populated as India and yet it's very rich. Immigrants make America stronger. It's simply a matter of restricting the welfare state so immigrants can't use it or eliminating the welfare state all together. The free flow of labor is good for the migrant workers and the American economy!
@tedfreeway You bring up a valid point. But...I believe dmeiske1 was really talking about birth rate. I don't know what they are for both India and Hong Kong. I just know that population density is not the same as birth rate.
@dmeiske1 So the problem is not immigrants or overpopulation but welfare. Norway would have the same problem too, except we are like Yemen with our massive oil and little population.
@PrismaMD There was growth until 2005, gee I wonder which party was voted into U.S. Congress and the Presidency that passed Banking Reforms which made worse the housing bubble which your party created in the first place which all of this compounding caused the stock market to go back down to 1999 levels! Your party screws up everything it touches! Our party has learned, not to touch it therefore letting it grow!
Almost every American is fat, and you are telling me that you live longer? America is not better than anyone else. You might have more stuff, but you have NOT the most powerfull military in the world. In Normandy one american soldier killed only one german soldier, but one german soldier killed atleast 6 american soldiers, you lost the Vietnam war and you still can't find a man who lives in a cave! But I must give you credit for your entertainment though
No, the average life-span in the US is a little bit shorter than wealthy European countries--definitely less than Scandinavia. I find your statements on the American military strange. Comparisons from the WWII era are irrelevant, no? The US military receives massive resources and the Army has undergone very costly "training" over the last decade.
wtf is wrong with da girl with tha afro she seems high actually asian movies are the most seen a lot of american movies are rip off like the grudge is japanese film the eye is actually called jangui and shutter is also a thai movie
@MaddDogg81 Don't forget Sweden. Labled: "The most succesful society on earth". Also, what they don't bring up on this video is the effects that capitalism have on the environment.
"Hong Kong is just a rock with no..." Stossel forgot to mention they have the largest copper producer in the world & it's socialized. The also have socialized health insurance.
The world is now worldwide on the brink of collapse. The worldwide monetary system be it capitalism, socialism, or communism all really "monetary-ism" so to speak, has absolutely failed the human race and is a cancer that has invaded the world. Watch Zeitgeist Moving Forward :)
how about why most countries cannot get out of poverty WMF
why would america give opportunity to another country to reach its potential, america will only help the rest of the world if they can make money of it. And that is why every capitalist nation is last place. One day all the money, power will be gone and those who had it all but gave away none will be left alone. There is no such thing as the graetest nation only the people in it and the values they hold.
Is America Number One? no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. Fon amerika kommen Waffen, Gewwahlt, Vergewaltigung. Ja viele kuken amerikanische filme. Sie sind aber sehr gewaltsam, zum beispiel Saw.
We should carbon copy the laws that they have in Hong Kong, I went to Hong Kong in 2008 and its still one of the best Asian countries in the world, has the least censorship and is actually cheaper then most European countries, it has the best health care in Asia. I would live in Hong Kong but I don't want to abandon my home country.

@dukee155 you know how it was in the industreal revolutin? you realy want that? you want kildren to take your jobs becuse ther cheaper? should the worker die just for wanting to feed his family?
@jannikmt child labor actually helps kids because if they were not working in sweatshops they would be doing nothing because an undeveloped nation cannot afford for schooling for the nations youth.
well ok i support john stossel...but europe is not poor,its the oposite!!and i dont think that some vocations will heart business!!mass production can beat this!!what hearts busssines is hight taxes and burecrasy big public sectors and corrupt politicians!and this is whats going on in greece!
@JSSJeepin emm... you know regulations would have cept the banks from colpasing and the rich from gambling on the market, was it regulations that made them overprice the stocks way above ther actual value?
no this could have bin averted if we just told the banks they had to stop relying on eatchother, and make it illigal to over price the stock above it's real value
This documentary sucks. There is a certain undertone. European bashing. India bashing. China bashing. They interview 100 people who think that America is the best and maybe 3 or 5 people who criticise America. The host leaves the impression that he has patriotic feelings, which is in my opinion sooo backward because patriotism is illogical. Moreover they pretend to answer the question neutrally but the final conclusion is "WE HAVE THE LONGEST DICKS EVER". LOL
@oifex: I am an Indian, i believe the American way to things is the best possible way. India's socialist policies till 1995 gave us nothing but hunger and population. In 15years of open market, we have become the third largest economy, not to be credited to anyone but America. European socialism gave india nothing but slavery, loot and instability. So, you are right, there is an undertone, but thats all good by me.
Well fist of all, there is no "european socialism". Every country is a mixture of capitalistic and socialistic elements. Even in America there are things that are run by the state like military, post, medicare. Furthermore it wasn't "European socialism" that looted India but europeans respectively englishmen. People commit crimes not systems. I don't know to how many european countries you have been to but europe is still capitalistic with a few more socialistic elements.
By the way I welcome India's economic upturn however very often pure hardcore capitalism increases affluence for a small minority whereas the large majority remains poor. I agree that America has a lot of bright sides, yet very often there is a certain arrogance of some Americans who state that all other countries are inferior. All I ask of them is to be a littlebit more respectful and acknowledge the accomplishments of other countries like China or various european countries
@qwertysam01 Stossel mentioned the successful ones not the following shitbags: Canada Egypt Sudan Nigeria Sierra Leone Uganda Kenya Tanganyika North Rodesia South Rodesia South Africa Swaziland Basutoland India Burma (Myanmar) Brunei Jordan Iraq Yemen Yeah right good job GB walk your punkass into Londonistan; great GB great no more.
The reason why America separated from England is because England abused USA, and currently US Government is doing the same thing. King Charles II taxed us and made laws that people disagreed with. This led to protests such as Boston Tea Party. Right now Obama administration has borrowed SO MUCH MONEY (13 TRILLION) than all of the previous debts combined. This will lead to extreme taxes. People who participate in Tea Party are smart, WAKE UP America and fight for your freedoms until it's toolate
@Slavko961234 Whaaat? Obama didn't borrow 13 trillion that's the national debt that has accumulated for years before Obama was in Office. No, people who participate in the Tea Party are not smart at all.
@URB4NR3CON Lol you retard. Accumulated over the years? Most of it accumulated since Obama came to office and he appointed crooks like Nancy Pelosi. Obama Administration has borrowed more money than all of the borrowed money of ALL previous Presidents COMBINED. And that's just the national debt. The total debt is 60+ Trillion I believe. Face it, this nation will become Socialist state if we don't remove Obama. Fortunately there are Republicans now in Congress so it will be dealt with.
No, we separated from England because they tried to enforce fair laws and we were spoiled bastards that couldn't stand to see our tax raised by a few cents.

It means that whoever wins the 2012 presidential election will have the dubious honour of presiding over the fall of the United States."

@hanmerboys Opinion: 1. a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty. 2. a personal view, attitude, or appraisal 3. the formal expression of a professional judgment:
Fact: 1. something that actually exists; reality; truth: Your fears have no basis in fact.
2. something known to exist or to have happened: Space travel is now a fact.
I can't fit all the definitions, but your use of the word fact is clearly wrong.

Globalists don't want the average guy setting up businesses and inventing cool stuff like free energy and cancer cures. That's what this video completely omits. The whole world is under one government called the IMF( based in Washington DC). They decide what a country gets to do in accordance to their "economic stability model" and a world full of wealthy free people is not part of that model. It's not freedom but in fact slavery that pays the bills.

People from all over the country are so dedicated to come to America, some risk their lives, and some die, just to get to this country. Anyway, all you Canadians or English people calling all Americans fat, first off:
1.) Only 33% of America is fat, and I've seen some fat people in your countries as well.
2.) Our government sucks, and that makes the economy suck, making people lose jobs, causing depression. People eat when they're depressed.

The reason why Americans have been so prosperous is because we don't overpopulate our society like most other impoverished countries but things are clearly changing since this video came out. More poorer immigrants from South America (65%), Asia, and Africa are coming into America by the thousands every day and when they get here what do they do? Yeap you guessed it, they have as many kids as they want and head straight to the welfare office and other social programs. Now our country is in debt

@dmeiske1 Bull. Did you watch the video? Hong Kong is twice as densely populated as India and yet it's very rich. Immigrants make America stronger. It's simply a matter of restricting the welfare state so immigrants can't use it or eliminating the welfare state all together. The free flow of labor is good for the migrant workers and the American economy!

No, the average life-span in the US is a little bit shorter than wealthy European countries--definitely less than Scandinavia. I find your statements on the American military strange. Comparisons from the WWII era are irrelevant, no? The US military receives massive resources and the Army has undergone very costly "training" over the last decade.

This documentary sucks. There is a certain undertone. European bashing. India bashing. China bashing. They interview 100 people who think that America is the best and maybe 3 or 5 people who criticise America. The host leaves the impression that he has patriotic feelings, which is in my opinion sooo backward because patriotism is illogical. Moreover they pretend to answer the question neutrally but the final conclusion is "WE HAVE THE LONGEST DICKS EVER". LOL

@oifex: I am an Indian, i believe the American way to things is the best possible way. India's socialist policies till 1995 gave us nothing but hunger and population. In 15years of open market, we have become the third largest economy, not to be credited to anyone but America. European socialism gave india nothing but slavery, loot and instability. So, you are right, there is an undertone, but thats all good by me.

Well fist of all, there is no "european socialism". Every country is a mixture of capitalistic and socialistic elements. Even in America there are things that are run by the state like military, post, medicare. Furthermore it wasn't "European socialism" that looted India but europeans respectively englishmen. People commit crimes not systems. I don't know to how many european countries you have been to but europe is still capitalistic with a few more socialistic elements.

By the way I welcome India's economic upturn however very often pure hardcore capitalism increases affluence for a small minority whereas the large majority remains poor. I agree that America has a lot of bright sides, yet very often there is a certain arrogance of some Americans who state that all other countries are inferior. All I ask of them is to be a littlebit more respectful and acknowledge the accomplishments of other countries like China or various european countries

@oifex pure capitalism creates wealth for everyone. Corruption, abuse and government intervention is what creates wealth gaps and broken systems.

The reason why America separated from England is because England abused USA, and currently US Government is doing the same thing. King Charles II taxed us and made laws that people disagreed with. This led to protests such as Boston Tea Party. Right now Obama administration has borrowed SO MUCH MONEY (13 TRILLION) than all of the previous debts combined. This will lead to extreme taxes.
