well said!

I might just have a thing for older men, but you're really cute :)

will the US bounce back like argentina did or spiral into the doom of zimbabwe?

[dink65]

Good video. The fact is, this Gov. has already failed, it's just not been recognized by the majority at this point, but it's coming. The Police militarization tells you they know there will be a more rapid deterioration of the economy which is going to be really be epic this next time around. The Fed has no bullets and the collapse will be swift and total.

[PatriotsRepublic]

Just for all you who think my type want war and bloodshed.... WE DON'T. But, we are not willing have a peace at the expense of our liberty. So if you think we're just going to take it.... think again.

[TheAmazingJimmy]

@PatriotsRepublic How do you get started in the commodities trading business?

[PatriotsRepublic]

@TheAmazingJimmy I lived in Taiwan for 11 years, and China for 1 year. I speak Mandarin and know business people over there... I told them I could find whatever they need... and they came back around 18 months later and made a lot of requests. Its only just started, but ALL business in the US has faltered because of draconian government controls.... controls that are so bad that even China is better than the US.

[Rosarywins]

watching your videos will make me a libertarian from a confirmed statist. Since I come from a somewhat poorer nation, Liberty for me is dignity. Thanks for showing us your professional side. It was a treat.

[mindrapeart]

Hey man. There's no time to "Let the markets sort themselves out". There is NO money. If there isn't an immediate overhaul of the system, millions of americans are DEAD.

[danmo43]

I only have one thing to add to your scenario:

The person who committed the fraud cannot hide behind a corporation.

ALL officers of the corporation are liable for the payback of the fraud.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@danmo43 The only thing the corporate shield should protect you from is accidents and frivolous lawsuits. We have people who try and file suit against us on almost a daily basis to try and force us out of business by just the sheer cost of trying to defend ourselves. We'd also like to see some tort reform that says if a court determines they have no standing or that their suit is frivolous, that they must pay the whole cost to our company.

[danmo43]

@PatriotsRepublic I completely agree with that on any level, not just corporations, however, on accidents, they should pay all expenses if it is deemed their fault, but never the "pain and suffering" crap.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@danmo43 Accidents due to negligence, yes, corporations should pay. Accidents as in, truck spins out on ice on road where no ice was reported and kills a couple of motorists by accident. Not fair to sue company for tens of millions of dollars.

[danmo43]

@PatriotsRepublic You are correct and that is why they have accident insurance. That should be the end of the story.

[CMLovejoy]

but government really isn't the problem.

If you trace the motive back to the origin, it's always some corporation trying to manipulate the government into screwing over the people.

You can't blame the government for high unemployment. The government didn't outsource jobs overseas for higher profits.

The dollar collapse and high debt is a result of the government bailing out failing corporations so shareholders don't take a huge loss.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@CMLovejoy Um.... yes government did outsource all jobs overseas.... regulations including minimum wage laws, collective bargaining laws, laws forcing companies to deal with unions instead of letting the chips fall where they may or being a non-biased mediator. Confiscatory taxes and penalties for hiring people (mandated health care coverage, mandated sick leave, maternity leave etc etc.... ) government is at the root of all of this. The fascists you're talking about were created by government.

[CMLovejoy]

@PatriotsRepublic Government outsourced jobs overseas? Really? Can you please name some government jobs that have been outsourced over seas? Collective bargaining laws only exist in northern states so the company is free to move and spread poverty to Southern states whenever they want to.

Mandated health care? Mandated sick leave? where is this stuff? I've never gotten anything from any of my employers in that form.

I'm not saying the government, but its all about profits.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@CMLovejoy Don't be obtuse. You need to read my response. Government is RESPONSIBLE for causing all jobs to be sent over seas.... except jobs that are done overseas. We operate overseas. We employ more people in Russia than we employ in the US right now... we don't make our money in the US, but we grow wealthy in the US. Are we shipping jobs overseas? Government regulation has caused businesses to move out of the country because doing business in the US has become too expensive.

[CMLovejoy]

@PatriotsRepublic Corporations move over sea's to produce more profit for their shareholders.  Now that's Great! if you own a large amount of shares in a company. I don't own shares and I can see since your complaining about the government you don't own shares either.

Doing business here in the US is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Our way of life and standards of living are some of the highest in the world. If you have a problem with costs and your so worried about it just move.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@CMLovejoy I own a business and employ people overseas. I want to build more of my business here in the US, but draconian regulations are preventing me from doing so. Regulations that force me to pay people wages they don't deserve, or regulations that prevent me from moving coal from the mines out of the country... because our governments have blocked any and all expansions of coal terminals at the ports for the past two decades. We could be employing thousands of people, except we can't.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@CMLovejoy Oh, and about your little snide remark about "Just move" .... how about this... this is my country... get out... or me and my allies will force you out. You've been warned. The countdown has begun.... war is coming... and the only way you can prevent it is to get out of our business and stop using force and violence to prevent us from doing business... if you think you have the right... then war is only years... if not months away.

[CMLovejoy]

@PatriotsRepublic I don't mean disrespect.

All I'm saying is that the US has a higher standard of living than the rest of the world. Big corporations what to use loop holes and outsource jobs to try to make the US more like third world countries. If people don't want to hold these corporations responsible for their fair share then we don't need them and they need to move somewhere else.

Government is not all to blame, because the reality is that they pull the strings anymore.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@CMLovejoy First, are you a business owner? Do you understand what it takes to run a business in this country? All the hoops, red tape and regulations business people have to put up with... not to mention, the huge tax burden. The only companies which are not adversely affected are the ones who are in bed with government using government to squash competition. Government is the only entity which can legally use force. Companies cannot legally use force against you. So who is the problem?

[CMLovejoy]

@PatriotsRepublic Ok so we are in the same page. So government really isn't the only one to blame.

Corporations that manipulate the government to suite their evil motives are to blame, not all the government.

No I've never owned a business.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@CMLovejoy The problem is called "Corporatism" or "Fascism". Those companies would not survive if they didn't have government using force to keep their competitors down. The free market can and always will get rid of badly run companies because the market does not want poor products. As a business owner who employs people overseas, I don't like the demonization of my employes over there because they deserve to work just as much as Americans do.

[1776Matthew]

@PatriotsRepublic Dude, you "outsource" labor? You cannot be serious.

Let me just say very calmly and politely, you are most definitely on the wrong side of that issue.

Have you ever thought about "outsourcing" and "multinational corporations" with respect to SPLIT LOYALTIES and TREASON? How can such things continue without the promotion of GLOBALISM and "global government", at the expense of national sovereignty? I put that to you as a very sober, and serious question, not as an accusation.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@1776Matthew National sovereignty is very important, and global government is something that I completely oppose, but no American "Deserves" a job and no American should be able to "force" his fellow American to hire only Americans. I find that the people I hire overseas are smarter and better qualified than most Americans I meet. Maybe Americans need to get out of Unions and get smarter and stop expecting so much from their employers. Maybe then I could afford to hire them. Until then, NUTS!

[1776Matthew]

@PatriotsRepublic There's a reason foreigners are better educated. Have you come across Charlotte Thompson Iserbyt's material? You can find her here on YT. I highly suggest you check her out. You might also add to that G. Edward Griffin's interview of Norman Dodd, & his interview of Uri Bezmenov.

I can understand your plight. Our people have been utterly ruined by the cultural Marxist agenda, and their subversion of our education system. However, "outsourcing" is throwing gasoline on the fire.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@1776Matthew Maybe a little bit of gasoline is what this party needs. I won't be forced to hire unionized workers, nor will I balk at firing the lot of Union workers and hiring scabs... nor will I balk at shooting any union members who get on my property and try and use force and violence to stop me from doing my business because I won't hire them.... do you see where that would lead? We already had that scenario play out and unions finally got government to strong arm business. We lost.

[1776Matthew]

@PatriotsRepublic Well, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending unions. As a matter of fact, I have suffered in my own career because I refuse to join a union. I can't stand all the added hoops, red-tape, and the "entitlement" mentality. I learned a skill from my father, and I am very much of the "hands-on", "get out there and learn by doing", "let me do my freakin' job" school of thought. Unions seem to bring nothing but stifling "safety" regulations and certifications, poor workmanship, etc.

[PatriotsRepublic]

@1776Matthew Most of my worker's require more than one language... and, if you listened to my video, you'd see that I employ Russian miners, Russian port workers, foreign bulk freighter workers and Chinese port workers. My logistics company is Canadian, so I employ Canadians, and then, if I ever get port space in the US, I'll be employing American coal miners, rail workers, terminal (port) workers and maybe American ship crews. But the unions and the liberals make it very difficult & expensive.

[Will224000]

...they should bring JPM and Goldman Sachs to justice for Economic Terrorism... the prupose for even a 'Limited Govt.' is to protect the People from Predatory Corporations... but they won't because the Corporations now own the Govt...

[PatriotsRepublic]

@Will224000 they should at least just let them succeed or fail on their own abilities. They would have failed in 2008 and other more responsible businessmen would have bought up the productive divisions and let the unproductive die on the vine. GM and Chrysler should have been broken up in a bankruptcy that would have allowed the prosperous divisions to be bought by other companies, the equipment and other systems to be bought and reinvested, but instead, government bailed out failures.

[Will224000]

@PatriotsRepublic ...you are too kind and gentle... I admire that... I was thinking more along the lines of a line of Abrams Tanks in front of the NY FED... guns pointed in...and marching the Banksters out while we set up the guillotine...

[PatriotsRepublic]

@Will224000 If we just unregulated the market, enforced fraud laws and refused to bail out anyone.... oh yeah, and ended the Federal Reserve... the problem would resolve itself.
