  • Remy is great! I love his libertarian tilt

  • remy is so friggin cute

  • wow!

    cc this to hobama and his banksters and his 2012 irs/hobamacare gestapo etc...

  • Ron Paul 2012! End the IRS, ATF, FCC, Dept of Education/Health/HUD/Energy/Co­mmerce, Federal Reseve, FEMA, Dept. of Homeland Security, TSA, and on!

  • RON PAUL 2012 !!!

  • They fought and died so that we can fill out a bunch of forms just to get back a percentage of our money and let the Politicians keep the rest. Oh, wait. I think it was for the opposite reason. Damn liberals and neocons. Paul 2012.

  • anyone who thinks the imperial union army fought for freedom at Gettysburg has been horribly miseducated!

    

  • @803honda anyone who thinks the south fought for anything other to enslave africans to do their work for them is just as horribly uneducated

  • Comment removed

  • @DaytonaRoadster The war against southern independence was all about money. Lincoln campaigned on redistribution of wealth from the wealthy south to new england. When lincoln won the presidency without a single vote from South Carolina we decided to leave the union.

    The federals said to themselves, thats ok, as long as we control Fort Sumter we can still tax 35% on every good leaving or entering Charleston.

    So we kicked the feds out our fort without a single death on either side.

  • @803honda To be fair, NEITHER army was fighting for freedom. The South still had slaves, and there was a lot of (what would later be called) fascist economic polices (which is why they lost - no free market). The North, under Lincoln, virtually eviscerated the Constitution as well, all in the name of Union, so you can't really point to one side as "right". They were both horribly, horribly wrong.  Too bad only the South is accurately represented (mostly....).

  • @mtanousable ...that is the equivalent of saying neither South Carolina nor Great Britan were fighting for freedom in 1770s. They were both horribly, horribly wrong.

    If past slavery makes past secession wrong then I guess the only right thing for us to do is return all 13 original colonies to British control.

  • @803honda I merely claimed that the South was not "more right" than the North - not that they should be blamed for the war. I claim this based on their anti-freedom actions taken during the war - things that today we would call fascist. I have never claimed secession was wrong. The idea of consent of the governed does not disappear because of moral errors in seceding territory. Perfect protection of liberty has never existed, even in the US.

  • spectacular.

  • 33 people are in Pennsylvania.

  • Four Loco is the devil... ahhhh run away as fast as you can.

  • Dude... YOU ARE MY HERO!!!

  • Psssshhh they didn't use m14s at Normandy

  • @rockinandout No comment lol

  • Damn this guy sounds just like Johnny Rebel from the boondocks!

  • @BankHeistVideos Either people that disagreed with this message, people that benefited from government or people that simply hated this genre of the music? :/

  • Remy make more! We need to start putting AMERICAN'S FIRST!  AMERICANS should be getting the preferrential treatment, in America.

  • thats one badass pistol XD

  • lol everything in this video is 100% true

  • US army= the largest private army in the world

  • Comment removed

  • Love the reference to Four Loko. I didn't know what that was so I checked it on Wikipedia. Dangerous stuff I'll tell ya, lol.

  • I think the video was trying to make the point in a joking way about how we are bieng taxed to death and that we are loosing more and more rights and freedoms in this day and time. I don't think the Aurthor / Artist / Comiedian was aiming at disrespecting the actual soldiers / vetrans etc.. Though our country is still one of the best ones arouid to live in, but if it keeps on going down the path it is it may not remain so for our children or grandchildren.

  • @rbarbier we are not being taxed to death but the video is right on. No economic boom, rights taken from the Patriot Act to TSA regulations, I can go on and on. I guess the opponent's argument could be that at least we're not Zimbabwe. But that's about it.

  • @LordKaisen "at least we're not Zimbabwe..."

    True. America is not Zimbabwe... yet.

  • @rbarbier Dead on bro.

  • remy remz

  • Loco for that loko

  • and taxes so what. go live in any other country and pay higher taxes. i'm currently stationed overseas. i would not choose to live in this "1st" world country. stupid video Remy, Saturday night live is better.

  • the libertarian movement and the obama political campaign are the same, all hype with little to no results. just a flash in the pan. i'm a conservative and i fight for my country every day and proud of it. and i support tsa at the air ports. and by the way the machine is no more than an x-ray there are no pictures taken. oh and four loco give me a break like one less beverage is going to make a difference. who cares.

  • @MrWildmoney1 Are you pleased that the Communist who posted a comment just below yours seems to agree with you? Well you should be pleased, because both you and the Commies love the state and lick the boots of authority every single day. And you both fear and hate individual liberty.

  • @videolung well next time we need some one on the front line i'll put your name down. its a whole different world out there once you get out of suburbia. and you realize there are bigger things at stake than your caffeinated beer. i don't deny the government needs to be reshaped. but once you've been a way from home for as long as i have and some of my brothers have. you care less about the petty things. you just want to come home. no i respectfully disagree with you but i understand

  • infowar.co/featured/remy-why-t­hey-fought/

  • Hey I like 4Loko! Especially the grape flavor.

  • REMY IS MY NEW HERO.

  • Political Message FTW

  • aweseome Arab

  • FOUR LOKO!

  • LOL! AUTOMATIC RIFLE AT GETTYSBURG! XD!

  • Yeah LOL

  • finally someone whos funny, and knows whats right

  • remy please go back to go remy and rap i love this vid but i just wanna here u spit 1 last time

  • America, fuck yea!! :D 

  • reason.tv found Remy?? It's crazy how everything and everyone I've always liked long ago all come together!

    I guess I should have known he was Libertarian after that tax song!

  • hahaha GO REMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the drummer should have sang with like a deap voice that would of ben funny i guess.

  • Remy, one of your best songs, thumbs up!

  • awesome talent

  • Isn't the tax code 75,000 pages not 16,000 pages? I guess sixteen rhymes better?

  • Pennsylvania is not cool. Like he said, it is cold.

  • is this a parody of something

  • @PoliticalWeekly I'm very afraid it isn't too much on that line..... D:

  • Why the hell does this have only 57,000 views, but Rebecca Black has 88 million? Are talent and hard work bad qualities nowadays?

  • @vakeraj I'll have to get back on you with that..... yeah, it seems so. Or maybe because of ideologies. Or whatever.....

  • did anyone else notice he said many women fought and died instead of men or men and women

  • @warholatyler No. He said "men and women". Not "many women".

  • Excellent!

  • Now, don't get me wrong. I LOVE Remy and all of they stuff he does on YouTube and I agree with most of the things he brought up in this video. However, I have to draw the line on taxation. In America, we relatively low taxes compared to the rest of the world. The taxes we all pay go to so many different and necessarily things that allow us to operate as a society. I'm all for cutting back on wasteful spending and the amount we pay these bureaucrats in government, but come on! 

  • @BeatlesAndRedskins I don't know if it so much about amount as method. Getting audited because you can't figure out a 16,000 page tax code that even IRS employees don't fully know is not the American way. Taxes are also not a political ploy. Flat tax. You pay in for what you buy

  • @BeatlesAndRedskins What? What? What? "low taxes"? 100 dollar hammers for the Pentagon. Billions to black farmers that have never farmed, to ethanol subsidies for fuel that pollutes more than gas, paying for cowboy poets and urban artists, tobacco subsidies while paying for non-smoking ads, corporate welfare (GE paid 0 in taxes & got bailouts), bike paths, studies of cow farts, billions in medicaid fraud. drug addicts and alcoholics on disability. Yea right "so many...necessarily things"

  • @wmhoad Yes, of course. What you mentioned is all our taxes pay for. Its not like our taxes go to education, or police, or fire departments, or social security, or medicare, or transportation, or all the other very important things the revenue actually goes to. Apparently you didn't read the part where I blatantly stated a need to cut back on wasteful spending.

  • @BeatlesAndRedskins Low taxes? Not really. I hear this a lot for some reason. I guess the confusion comes from the fact that the United States has a federal system and not a unitary system. If you add up federal, state, and local taxes the US is more or less on par with places like Switzerland(which also has a tricky federal system), the UK, Scandinavia, and France. Of course it varies from state to state. Some will pay more, some will pay less. Yet overall it's about the same.

  • thanx god an arab singing for united states

  • not only is this video awesome, but wowee, that man is handsome! :D

  • Oh Remy! I felt really connected when you mentioned four loko.

  • Remy in 2012!!!

  • Best. Video. Ever.

  • I love you Remy.

  • i was wondering what had happened to remy but gud to c him making songs again thumbs up if u agree

  • sir, that was outstanding!

    Keep up the good work.

  • This was the best song Remy produced in a long time. Not to say that the others weren't great, but this definitely stood out among the rest.

    Oh, and the gat gat and the end made me lul.

    Great job Remy Remz!

  • @RunicWizard i agree

  • Jefferson would have approved

  • ..a moon advice: stop telling yourself that there is something terribly wrong in the world, stop competing among each others to see which one of you says it better..time to act..to put your money where your mouth is..don't pay your taxes..don't surrender your homes to banks..

  • This looks like a imitation of Johnny Cash :D

  • If Four Loko changes its formula, THE TROOPS ALL DIED IN VAIN. Oh, and also, THE TERRORISTS HAVE ALREADY WON. What would George Washington do?

  • @benreilly2009 George Washington would send the troops to kill any protesters, of course...

  • 9 people are long-haired pinkos

  • C'mon Remy, the gov't only wants to help you...

  • What is remy?

  • @capitalist4life the guy who just made this song

  • Woah, this is on the Reason channel? I thought this was on goremy's channel. I am subscribed to both!

  • Remy is going to be on the "No fly list!"

  • Intellectual comedy. Go Remy!

  • I've watched this video maybe FIVE times in two days -- and it STILL seems clever, funny, and great! Remy is another Weird Al Yankovic, with a little extra bite! :-)

  • @PureLiberalFire I agree. Also not stupid, hideous, and doing remakes of pop songs!!

  • @neisy2362 Remy rocks! :-)

  • Funny and sad at the same time. : ) ) :

  • OMG remy again i love this guy he is one of the most unique and clever singers i know

  • Awesome!  Needs more verses.

  • Awesome, I was a scout in the US army and I have been upset that no one ever put to song why I joined. LOL thanks Remy

  • Remy is the man!

  • greatest video ever!!

  • As a very conservative, 20 year veteran.....I loved this!

  • Remy is awesome and the fact that he's a libertarian is awesomer.

  • @DankWin Damb straight! Awesome is as awesome does. But IS he a libertarian? I never heard of him until a few days ago.

  • @PureLiberalFire

    who $@%#$ cares... really.. drop the labels and enjoy the message.

  • @DankWin Libertarians are nothing more than pseudo-liberals who favor "smaller government" so as to promote plutocracy and corporate interests. Libertarians are no better than conservatives in the fact that they both espouse a "limited government" (i.e. plutocracy), inherently flawed laissez-faire economic policy and supply-sided deregulation (which was a major catalyst for the recent economic recession), and the augmentation of corporate influence and power.

  • Awesome vid!

  • HAHA awesome

  • Clever! Funny too! ;-)

  • Great video.

  • Awesome! I loved it!

    Nothing better than witty ideological diatribe to a catchy jingle. You are the next Benny Hill.

  • cowboy poetry must live on at any cost to the tax payers!

  • Remy, are you a libertarian, too? I shall give you all my hummus. *_*

  • Wow, those guns have no recoil!

  • @damenbrazen I think you're missing the point of the song. Our so called "leaders" are too busy butting into other countries business and sending our soldeirs to fight in civil wars of OTHER countries, to adequately manage the one they were elected in, or even listen to the people who elected them, giving TRILLIONS away in "foreign aide" to about 150 countries, some of which openly hate America, and despite the last election the dems CONITNUE to ignore us. Is that what our soldeirs died for?

  • Comment removed

  • remys back after 5 fuckin long months

  • Heil AmeReicha.

  • reason and remy? THE DAY IS OURS.

  • 7 government parasites disliked this video

  • @dmancornell 24 others didn't like that you outed their friends.

  • Sarcasm is great. :-D No, I mean, it is. This entire sarcastic song actually *is* great.

  • My name's Remy too!

  • ABSOLUTELY GREAT!! Funny and pathetic at the same time. :(

  • "Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms,

    but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life

    and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.

    The cause of liberty, the cause of American, cannot succeed with any lesser effort."

    - President John F. Kennedy, January 29, 1961

  • We are LESS FREE because of the world wars.

    youtube.com/watch?v=ke2hloDrb1­c

  • @johnnywhack how you post youtube.com/watch?v=ke2hloDrb1­­c

  • Oh this is wonderful. Where Johnny Horton celebrated the days when America was sane, Remy sings odes to the days when insanity has set in. Wake up America PLEASE!!

  • END THE FED AND THESE UNDECLARED WARS WILL FOLLOW....BRING OUR TROOPS HOME...RON PAUL FOR PRESIDENT 2012

  • Very Cool!

  • 1:42 to save us all from tyranny - - and also from Four Loko! hilarious.

  • Yow! This is great!

  • @Dysentery7885 communist? really dude? thats like calling hard left/right democrats/republicans anarchist

  • I did my own taxes for years even when I had businesses. Then I started using Turbotax, but finally gave up on even that when I had to deal with inheritance, trusts, and royalty income. Now I use a tax service and pay $180. This is ridiculous! I think all members of Congress should have to set up a business, run it for 5 years, sell it, and do all the taxes and relate bookkeeping without the aid of an accountant and see what they foist on us.

  • They fought and died so that we can speak our political minds without some self-righteous politician putting us in a labor camp to rot just because we didn't agree with him/her on every little thing. I understand that government has been undermining many personal and economic freedoms and making life unnecessarily harder for us but at least we can openly criticize public policies and suggest alternatives without incarceration or execution unlike in places such as North Korea.

  • @Infantry9 Now if we speak our political minds we on are labeled "hete mongers,racist,nazi's,ect. ect and are put on a no fly list for fear of us being a domestic terrorist. And if you speak out enough they will find a way to make you shut up and go away. The US has the largest prison population on earth and we still consider ourselves "Free". There is not one facet of our lives that is not regulated Poeple need to read the WHOLE declaration to find out why they fought (the list of greavances)

  • @TheStrazy

    There are problems in the US involving excessive and inefficient regulation and I have implied such issues exist. I'm also aware there are self-righteous individuals who want to destroy free speech but as long as we speak out against them, we vote, and our military truly stands by the Constitution, they will not destroy us or our right. The reason for the big prison population has to do with all the criminals that get caught. Unlike places like China, we don't imprison dissenters.

  • Comment removed

  • @Infantry9 I was speaking more apon the non-military.The TSA,police and other government agencys. The politicians are trying slowly to incorperate some military branches into policing the citizens of the US, But as for now people who dissagree with the government have tocontend with fellow citizens and certain agencys that would like to supress that right (FCC,and various others) buy passing laws and regulations.My point being the declaration had a list of greavances that are now back in force

  • @TheStrazy

    I won't argue with that. I agree that many in government have gone too far. It's one thing for them to pass a restraint that prevents someone from harming an involuntary innocent but it's another when they pass a restrain that undermines the personal and economic freedoms of decent, honest individuals.

  • @Infantry9 With the new vague laws reguarding "domestic terrorism" and the now accepted "indefinate incarceration" we are well on our way to the supression of speech. The government has reinstituted the same greavances that were listed in the declaration of independence and when a citizen does complain they are supressed by fellow citizens for the moment, but with the dissenters of the curr system becoming the minority the freedom of speech could well be supressed with the consent of the masses

  • @Infantry9

    Yeah, but in America, our standards of freedom are much higher. never settle.

  • "also from four loco"

    haha

  • if our media was working they would be putting this message in percpective

  • Freaking brilliant!

  • 15 stars!

  • Remy is just hilarious! :)

  • Remy is a genius, and once again, spot on.

  • Ignorance is Strength

  • HELL YEAH! Remy hits another one outta the park!

  • Bye bye fourth ammendment rights

  • they fought and died so we could get a new king every 4-8 year, so we could have dukes and earls debate on how we should live, and even if we disagree it wont stop them from making us comply, that's why they fought and died

  • @surrealnumber You know voting one in every 4-8 years is like what makes him not a king, like i get what your saying its just, how your saying it dosent make sense.

  • @surrealnumber Its like if someone says to me, eehh you walk around like your a king or something, that would be alright because one of my major defining characteristics is not something that seperates me from king, like if I had been demoractically elected to a position of authority and not through some birth right.

  • @surrealnumber Basically, like what im saying is with the powers they wield they are exactly the same, and only differ in the time frame your pointing out, so its like too close to be a joke, so its just becomes inaccurate if you get what i am saying.

  • @surrealnumber Sad, but true.

  • @surrealnumber God damn it.

  • @joepglass God does not have a middle or last name, and if He did they sure woudln't be damn it. Curse your own "god", leave mine out of it!

  • @steveswb What?? God damn moron.

  • @surrealnumber I love it!

    they fought and died so we could have control grids with a street view - that alerts the fusion centers when your poodle takes a poo.. And if you asked them why they fought and died the'yd tell you the same thing...

    So you'd have your water flouridated and poisoned with benzene...

  • OMG. Nick Gilespie, This is totally awesome!

  • YES!!! REMY is on our side, now we cannot lose!

  • BRAVO!!!!!!!!!

  • That dislike must be Cheney....

  • thumbs up

  • RIGHT ON!!
