Bingo!!! socialists should be against them! Free Market folks are also against them. There should be agreement here. Believe it or not there are things that Socialists and Free Market guys both think are bad...and bailing out big corporations one one of them.
Everyone in America should be outraged over the theft that was the Bailouts!! Both Democrats and Republican parties supported it...what a JOKE!!
the market as a 'jungle' would be an interesting concept to explore. the ecological system of the jungle is incredibly complex (much like our economy). Imagine trying to kill all of the lions because they were too mean. Inevitably, the planners would have to inject forced destruction to 'save the system.' Bad for the lions and bad for the creatures who are killed to retain balance. Overall bad created by fatal conceit. You should make a video exploring this metaphor.
At present time to the best of my awareness the market is manipulated. Its not a free market, thats for sure. Lots of free money for banks . Cant last. Can only end badly, and the common man will suffer the most.
We need to elect individuals where greed is not the driving fascist selffess force.
Goldman- sachs and the government and the military industrial complex come together -because they have found it to be extremely profitable to do so-no matter who gets hurt or murdered or tortured from it !
The resources are being robbed. Gas was 35 cents a gallon-now look at it.
The jungle isn't complex-it is untamed greed that we are dealing with!
The one thing I will agree with 100%...is that at the end of the day, we the people accept this shit.
Greed or rational self interest "family, friends or self" is a condition of human nature. However, you shouldn't shit all over everyone else to reach your end. Your end should be yourself but you need to go about it in a way that doesn't harm others. It is easy to do...it is the ethic I live by.
Steve, great video. It made me think a bit. I agree with everything that you had to say in it. I run a small business and its the government that is my biggest hindrance. The local government with property taxes is the biggest threat and then the State of New York with all the regulations. Everyone else gets the rights except me who owns the business.
You are correct. Thats what I fear if the economy collapses. I am afraid that the "common folk" might come after me. I don't make much more money than what they make. I talked to a few and tried to convince them that I don't make as much money as they think I do. They don't believe me.
You have the ability to be cohesive and fluid throught the whole video without cutting. It never ceases to amaze me. I have to cut myself up because I'm all over the place when I talk.

Remember that you, a business owner, are "them" that the masses think are separated from them. They don't get that you are one of them.

They obviously don't understand the costs of running a business.
I automatically have additional respect for anyone who owns a business. Bravo to you!!

Hi Haggsbo - I'm quite surprised how difficult it seems for so many people to not be able to imagine how a real free market could work.
Sometimes it's just an unwillingness or inability to use imagination, but sometimes there seems to be a bit of fear there too. I dunno why exactly.
I think you are explaining your ideas quite well.
Thanks

curious what that writing is on your car window? Is it right off the dealership floor or something?

LOL...That is what the Chicago city police do to your car if it doesn't move for a week. If it doesn't move for a week after that, they impound it.
I left it on there as it adds character...there is more on the passenger side.
