Yaron Brook, Ayn Rand Institute on Glenn Beck 3/27/09: Economic Regulations

[agiann1]

I don't like glenn beck, or rush or ed schultz or any of these guys preaching that they speak the truth to get the word out to the american people all these guys are full of it. Dem or republican it's all the same BS they want to control your pocket book either which way.

[MrRickywallace]

@agiann1 Not quite! There's a big difference between Lenin and Jefferson. Read a little more.

[friedoctorock]

@BadlanAlun to say those remarks you must have a very low understanding of Rand's works and society in general. Read one of her books and you will understand.

[BadlanAlun]

Because companies are so fucking responsible and should just be allowed to do what they want? Taxation and regulation aren't the sole reasons companies go abroad. They go because they get tax breaks from impoverished nations and they can pay some kid in a slum thirty pence a day to work his hands bloody in a sweat shop. Oh, and if its cheaper to just dump the toxic waste into the river, why the hell not? Fuck Ayn Rand. We need to care more for one another, than worrying about money & businesses.

[krcaley]

Nobody defines systemic risks? Okay, well let me define it for you here. In finance, systemic risk is the risk of collapse of an entire financial system or entire market. Given government bailouts of private industry to evade systemic risks, I would say that it has become a federal matter. Trade, by the way, is fundamental in a healthy economy. Solar panel jobs is valid as it creates skilled jobs, we outsource unskilled jobs

[jrmsher33]

Glenn Beck is so stupid he doesn't realize that the Ayn Rand Institute is the definition of progressive fascism and social darwinism. They believe that police should be privatized and so should the military. He believes god is a tool for the ignorant masses. Workers who can't invent technology are tools to the corporation and if used till they are old and cannot work should die. Think communism is evil, just wait till these people are done with you. Yaron refuses to debate anyone in economics

[TheBigMamacita]

@jrmsher33

They Ayn Rand Institute does not believe police and military should be privatized.

[nidba]

The Ayn Rand Institute aligning itself with FOX News and Glenn Beck is such a mistake. C'mon Yaron, They have similar opinions but check the premises of the individuals and organizations financing them.

[MrBadham]

Those jobs are never coming back, unless it costs less than minimum wage.

[Danie855]

to live while hoarding the rest of profits for their own pursuits, a company reaps the rewards of one persons knowledge and experience, for the mind is the very engine of society without that the mechanization would grind to a halt without a persons mind that enriches and gives the society meaning, its part of our existence, so they cannot deprive us of the means of living when their reaping the rewards from our labor, thats a fundamental truth whcih congress enacted laws for

[Danie855]

@MrYakushi12345..A job is not worth comprising a person identity or self worth, for a civilization that prided itself on individual liberties and for peoples right to self expression in one hand they were contradicting it when they were stripping them of the means to exist by living in impovrisihed means thats why it came back on those companies because a business is a business but not at the point where it deprives individuals of their freedoms and ways to exist with providing them the means..

[xn117]

how many fucking times does beck use the term "ramification" on his show?

[RAMSEY1987]

the Ayan Rand institute does it self no favours by being on this show

[Danie855]

at child labor during the industrial era, they were treated as nothing more than slavery during the coal and mining era around 1900, thats why congress had to enact child labor laws to show moral distinction for companies actions and regulation, history does not lie when it is apparant

[MrYakushi12345]

@Danie855

and weirdly enough, the children preferred a crappy job to starvation...

[Danie855]

History shows otherwise, look at pre-industrial history, oil companies and such, thats why oil companies and banks were give the label, "fat cats" bc they were enjoying the wealth since they were the ones in charge from off of the labor of the people at the bottom, people were designing the railroads and working in the fields and when it came to distrubution of wealth to the ones in the hierarchy of business they saw little till congress passed regulation to prevent abuse, look...

[Danie855]

oh and in regards to government regulation..History has shown what happens when companies are left to thier own vices without regulation from congress which speaks for the people and regulates companies that without regulation, companies in the past abused people and showed no real concern for their welfare..look at the late 1800 and early 1900's around 1850-1870, thats why their were the railroad strikes and people living in impoverished lifestyles.

[stater68]

In fact, the period of no regulation coincided with the most prosperous period in human history.

[Danie855]

the wood, its like u cannot blame someone for providing the material when it was ur design that caused the problems.

[Danie855]

Thats been a fundamental truth of the powerful, rather than acknowledge their own faults, they lay the faults on the ones that have no real voice to speak of to address their accusors, even though a ceo performed the actions their trying to say that the ones below the chain caused or precipitated that action even though it was done by anothers hands, thats like saying that a faulty artisan saying, yes even though it was my design and i had carved it with my own hands that it is the one provided

[Danie855]

what gets me is that this current age, that the ceo's wish to reward themselves and give such elaborate rewards for themselves..but they fail to answer such questions.How do they deem the worth of their rewards? Do they by their actions even though they r the head or shall we say Watcher of their company, do they measure the reward for them being the watcher how much they warrant a reward? With their positin r they giving so much that others cannot have a way surviving does not comprimise others

[Danie855]

is clear, that we can choose how we use our minds and integrate knwoledge into the function of the world and how we keep the world functioning bc without the mind and such individual thought we would have a machine set on a course for self destruction, thats what happened to some of these companies, they overvalued their self worth and caused their eventually crumbling of their system and their company bc they forgot the very core of that truth.

[Danie855]

own actions that caused their failures or inaction or how they performed things to cause their downfall especially overevaluating their self worth of the company and trying to make themselves seem more of worth than the people that made the company, and the mechanization which they leave out..the mind that is the creative engine, without that their company does not have the system to create or perform actions..rand above anything else deemed ones existence is individualism and her philosophy..

[Danie855]

The sad thing is their crying the woes of the executives and how they r being penalized for their actions..what their leaving out is the ceos actions, inactions during the situation or how they caused their own internal failure or destruction of their companies, and who is at fault for their own actions, we the people, the company, no..themselves, for they caused their own failures and destruction and they are having us the people bail them out. and to top it off they seek reward for their....

[anybeths]

Why is someone from the ARI on Glenn Beck? Have we really stooped this low?

[Jazzper79]

This is great

Jesper, Denmark

[Bini9]

what does Glenn Beck think about Rand being an atheist?

btw I'm glad I dont live in USA, its a scary place where people like Glenn Beck are considered as intelligent

[VoteGore]

Awesome!

[justinwlaurab]

Get more Ayn Rand on Glen Beck!

[jcaps]

OMG she's dead :0

[dleddy1414]

Listening to Obama speak here is very scary. He has no clue.

[MichaelJacebson]

OMFG!

Is the the woman at 2:45 serious? Do you Obamamites actually believe Barry Sotero is your Messiah? Newsflash- Those jobs are gone, and anything that can be produced in a third world country and shipped here, cheaper than it can be made here, is going to be outsourced. It's called "globalization", it's what they want, so your messiah isn't going to stop it. Pretty soon we'll all be living off gubment cheese.

[PizzaGod]

Yea there is, get rid of the minimum wage law, we can go back to full employment and a lot of those jobs will come back here.

[MichaelJacebson]

You're right about the minimum wage, I don't believe in the theory of "full employment", there will always be a level of unemployment, albiet much lower than it is now, around 4 or 5%. But, overall you missed my point. The reason the jobs are leaving is because that's what the globalists want. Sure, we can fix the problems, as we see them, but the people in control don't want the problems fixed.

[PizzaGod]

An increase of wages here causes those jobs to move overseas. If (and when) our dollar collapses, the dollar will not have the buying power it has now. This will cause imports to become more expensive, which will lead to more jobs in the USA.

[MichaelJacebson]

I said I understand and agree with that concept. That's not what they want.

[ChornyiKot]

I suggest that each of you (re)read Atlas Shrugged and The Road to Serfdom (FA Hayek) and contemplate the meaning of the George Santayana quote "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"

[ChornyiKot]

Peter Schiff, David Walker and Yaron Brook have been talking about this subject for years now. Weve been divided along partisan lines and trained to fear the other side for so long that a majority of Americans no longer expect the government to obey the rules that bind them for fear of letting the other side gain advantage. When a government is no longer bound by (Constitutional) law, tyranny will inevitably follow.
