  • Ron paul is the only one that understans this concept. The others are NOT naturally evil they simply become corrupt because we are ALL selfish and how can someone know they are selfish unless they are scrutinized by the people closest to them.

  • Big governments can also specialize in service delivery and tackle more complex problems.

    I worked for municipal governments, and when we were downloaded services from higher levels of government (like water treatment), you wouldn't believe how scattered and unorganized our service delivery was. We knew nothing of water pH levels, chemical treatments, etc.

    Smaller is not *always* more efficient.

  • I can't praise these enough. There is no greater interpretation of the things you show. I have watched every video you have and I am so moved by them. I wish all Americans would watch all videos you have to understand liberty, big government, and collectivism. Without this knowledge we are doomed as a nation.

  • i think the small villiage might have some problems supporting specific professionals, consider that the 5000 person villiage will have about 50 people who suffer from schitzophrenia, and 150 with bipolar disease....

  • nice job on the presentation, but i do have a question about your examples. You say that smaller government is more efficient and yes i agree. but what if the practices of the other village involves oppressing minorities you know like Jim Crow laws. In that example do you agree that government should step in? and wouldn't that also lead to big government?

  • @catch22af

    no- thats the thing. the more local it is, the less the devestation of any effects. the less the evil. And its only big govt which will try to subject 'majorities' as diversity is extinct in big govt.

    however in small localized govt u will virtually never have any discrimination- else the 'subjects' will simply rise up and overthrow their tyrannical mutilators

  • Something that Socialist Democrats and Far Right Conservatives have in common is that they believe in "Big Government" but in different forms.

    Socialist Democrats believe that the Federal Government should have a big role in providing goods and services for its people whether that means State Ownership of the Means of Production or a highly Regulated and Taxed Private Sector.

    Far Right Conservatives tend to be Economic Libertarians but believe in Authoritarianism and limited Social Freedom.

  • @FrsBigeasy

    Heh.This is why I consider myself a Socalist Libertarian. Modern libertards tend to forget that the origin of their party's name has ties to Trotsky. : ) Libertarianism actually meant something before it became a "BIG GOVERNMENT IS SATAN'S WORK" lynch mob.

    "Big Government has low accountability"..well...what about that whole voting thing? You know that...democracy thingamajig. Competition works until you inevitably get down to that one big shark who's the last standing.

  • @Eldeecue

    I would be described as a Libertarian or a Classical Liberal myself but I view myself as a Liberal. Because I believe in "Maximize Freedom and Responsibility for the Individual". That people have the right to live their lives as they see fit as long as their not hurting anyone with their Freedom.

    That Government should Empower people who are down to help themselves through temporary Financial Assistance, Education, Job Training and Job Placement. But not subsidize them indefinitely.

  • government it's a big fucking whore

    and there's no such thing like "crisis" in finance status

    it's just an excuse from government to say to the people that there's no money

    that the government can take them(the money)

  • i swear, the reason is the people are being brainwashed, stupidified, with stupid unimportant media, the very reason you have crazy super stars like miley cyrus or those media magazines etc are the people...

    america is weak, and doens't know it,

    we are living off the success of our founding fathers,

    if we are to be a world leader, a world example,

    the people need to get educated, live smart lives, be active, and decide their lives fro themselves

  • Bravo! Important and beautifully executed, too..

  • @luveraaab Monopolies can *only* exist with the help of government. Monopolies cannot survive competition: they require expensive bureaucracy that small businesses completely forgo. In the age of "robber barons," the government was the chief force enabling monopolies. In a truly free market, remote big businesses have to pay their middle management payroll (huge) and transportation costs nationwide (also huge); local business would wipe them out out dominance, if not existence.

  • I have to offer you some help on how to achieve peace:

    * There will be war as long as governments exist. Small gov'ts will have small wars; large gov'ts wage large wars.

    * One world gov't would do away with war, but only technically. There would be no other government to wage war against, but in order to maintain control, the world gov't must make examples of scapegoat groups to keep the rest terrorized and obedient. Essentially, war would be replaced with pogroms and massacres. Not so peaceful.

  • @xaajjaax so instead of pointing out all the problem, give us the solutions then.

  • I feel like the concession on the end of this was inaccurate. Would a one-world government ensure peace? I feel like war is something governments are always going to wage...and it's not accurate that they war against other governments, they war against people. So the only enemy of a world government will be the world's people -- namely, whichever ones they disagree with.

    When you're structuring an argument, dont make needless concessions that undermine your entire point. We're all COUNTING on u!

  • Man, now you friggin convinced me. Though I  have already had this way of thinking. =p

    It had a very good outro.

    Props

  • Well done. Good work.

  • brilliant!

  • its all about the money. any way you look at it. they dont care about us. just money.

  • wow dude i had this same concept come to my head a few days ago and i was explaining it to my friend. you see its not fair when your city is the one paying the most tax and all of that is being spent somewhere else

  • Vote RON PAUL 2012!! FREE AMERICA!!

  • Big Government becomes Corrupt Government because Big Business only needs to go to one place to achieve their goals. Also, a magical non-corrupt Big Government is still morally wrong, if you consider involuntary servitude (aka slavery) morally wrong.

  • ROFL OMFG partisan much angelusofdues?

  • People, it's time to stop arguing about this government, and start figuring out a way to overthrow it.

  • @ zephyrr When you say overthrow, do you mean violent revolution? As this video astutely pointed out, violent over throw of something terrible, usually puts something equally or more terrible in its place. You have make your case and change peoples minds without violence if you truly one the cycle to stop. Otherwise, you're peddling the same failed ideas you can read about in countless history books.

  • So what power should the centralized government have which the localized one cannot manage?

  • Mtan:

    That would be mainly large scale defense. Switzerland has an excellent example of this. They have no standing army, only 2% of their personnel work full time. Just in times of extreme crisis for national defense are those enlisted called out, and a head general elected. It's actually compulsory for males of able age, but the fact that it is purely defensive of one's home, and not bureaucratic missions is enough to balance this factor. It's the only type of army I would ever join.

  • If enlistment is voluntary it is the best way to ensure that the war is just, because it if is their shouldn't be a problem with finding enough people to fight it. Noone wants their homes taken away.

  • How about no government? =D The smallest government of all!

  • In that case another Government will be inevitable there are always people willing to give up there freedom to another. Then those people could take control over less willing people.

  • ok anarchist... cause that would sooooo work out, you're so right why doesn't everyone just listen to people like you?????

  • Stockholms syndrome.

  • From your comments, I can tell you favor democracy over a republic. I'd recommend researching all forms of government before deciding to believe in such a doom based form.

  • @Gettinghitonattheban only if all people of the world were awesome, compassionate, viceless, peaceloving people would that work. . . maybe one day

  • Amen to that.People need to recognise that Big Government is an infiltrator. They take over by stealth. They are dealing with it every day but they must make the links.

  • Its funny I think most people realize that but no one could change it without creating the same problem another government. That will lead to the same problems.

  • no,they've usurped it by law. Bring back common law where society responds behaviour warranted by men. They have used Roman civil law to usurp and infiltrate,where the slaves(people) act as civil servants to the hierarchy (government). roman civil law goes back to the days when the Gods(Sumerians) considered themselves greater than the human 'useless eaters'. Much remains the same today.

  • This is great! This is how I see an ideal world.

    Now overthrow government. And take the power over our lives back.

    But we have to convince a lot more people that big government is wrong.

    It's a silent battle against the media.

    But with the help of the crisis we will succeed.

    Despite their efforts Governments cannot solve the crisis in any way. Ever.

  • Wow. I just had the biggest revelation of my life. thanks man ill spread the word

  • This video assumes that power, mistakes and abuse can only happen at the hands of government. False. Other people, corporations, gangs, militias can abuse their power too. The answer is not only no BIG GOVERNMENT, but NO BIG POWERFUL ENTITIES. This includes freedom from economic oppression. Therefore the answer is libertarian communism with no government but a reasoned and open and detailed constitutional code of conduct and bill of rights, which can be changed through reason, by anybody.

  • Your video is absolutely brilliant. But did you know that TRUE marxist communism has no government? True communism places nobody in authority, rather the country is run by a reasoned set of constitutional rights and code of conduct, and nothing more, and includes transparency, accountability, local sensitivity, etc. so nobody has unjustified power. Western governments and corporations have convinced us that communism = big government, a total lie. Rather, it is freedom from economic oppression.

  • What you are describing is Libertarianism ;)

    No disrespect intended.

    However Libertarians realize that some small (I can't stress this enough) form of government is necessary though the people should be it's master as opposed to the way it is now.

  • We could all be part of that small, local government.

    Now we vote, and thats it.

    But then your voice would be heard.

  • you're a genius. you said it all, about time someone made one of these.

  • Thanks for this posting! Excellent explanation of how big government gets big. One of the main reasons people support government solving their problems is that they do not have confidence in their ability to solve their own problems. Not to be too commercial, but our company exists to help people discover their own greatness. Check out my video called Impossible is an Opinion and visit our web site (link from the video).

  • very very imformative. really hard to explain this to people though. now i can show this instead :)

  • I was just about to post a comment but you said almost exactly what I was going to say!

  • All of his videos are GREAT.... Ron Paul in a nut shell... The best and true views are in these videos.. This is what Ron Paul truly represents.. Role of Government was a great vid too

  • Spread this video... very informative

  • This short documentary should be shown over and over in all of the schools in all of the lands, and of course, daily in the house, senate and Oval office!

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Thanks for this two part documentary.

  • great video..... lets stop the un and the new world order....thank you for this video....

  • u should get into some politics

    Very important you read! Don't just vote, vote with a cause.....otherwise, stay at home and enjoy the day. It would be better than voting for one of these two war, loss of liberties, high tax candidates! Instead vote for libertarian Bob Barr and make your voice heard!

  • go bless you.. this video will be my main tool in getting people to understand why the current path our government is on is so detrimental. simple concise and accurate 5*

  • really really good. intelligent n thought provoking video

  • Capitalism and Communism represent false choices. They are pretty much the same in that they concentrate power in the hands of small minorities to the detriment of most people.

    The American constitution has been trashed by a small clique representing vested interests!

  • Fantastic. Although it's already too late. Try to mess with the way government works... and you'll find yourself in a government jail... for.. "not paying your taxes".

  • With this understanding you will make a great jurist. Juries DO HAVE THE POWER to stop corruption in the courts by acquitting persons accused of willful failure to file.

    The more of you- the more justice in the courts, the more power to individuals that question laws.

  • There is no law requiring you to pay tax. It even says so in the Constitution. Its called the tax CODE for a reason. It is not law, its one of the biggest scams in history. Try a search for Freeman status and claim sovereignty of self.

  • the level of work coming from users is excellent and continues to improve. thanks for this video... i hope it goes viral, it should.

  • Thanks guys. Keep up the good work. I'm thrilled to see that a teacher is showing this to her class!

  • Bravo!!

  • If you work with democrats in florida read this:

    Due to violating party rules, the Democratic National Committee has stripped florida of all its delegates to the Democratic National Convention. No florida delegates will be sent to the DNC to vote for you. Instead of casting a meaningless vote on the Democrat's ticket, you can vote in the Republican primary, helping bring a "win-win" ballot for the 2008 Presidential election by voting for Ron Paul

  • RE: gladiadorextremo

    Florida is a closed primary, only registered republicans can vote.

  • Awesome job! I'm collecting these, would like to make a CD for the kids in my class. Would that be ok?

    I will not change a thing?

    thank again. Keep em coming.

    Vote Ron Paul.

  • Absolutely! Please do im very flattered.

    Can i ask what kind of class you teach? Subject/Age

  • @ST0PandL00K I'm with him 100% I'm going to show this to my kids also ...i think you have communicated this with shear genius simplicity....im going to use this in explaining to the few liberal friends i got that don't understand big words and need desperately a cartoon to tell them the truth ...hahaha

  • i don't agree with you totally, this is why the civil war was fought because the stupid confederates states wanted to succeed from the union to keep doing what was to be outlawed and that's slavery. you should also check out the corrupt texas judicial system and the inequalities that far exceed any of the states in the country. there has been instances where the central gov''t has had to intervene and reverse the decisions made in texas bias judicial system. the central gov't desegregated the us

  • you truly believe in everyday people with very little experience in everyday life issues which history shows on state level people may not act appropriately, as in the case of lynching. you need well rounded people to govern and the most experienced usually work from state to central govt. also big money has to do with govt growth and govt vested interest.

  • Great video!!!

  • thank you.

  • I love these damn things, I need more!!! Do one on the federal reserve

  • Awesome, I'm subscribing!

  • These videos are really good.

  • Great job presenting this and making the video and mixing the audio.

    You are so comprehensive.

    Thanks for your hard work!

  • Everyone living in free countries should watch all of you're videos.
