i dont know man, its kinda like u were just trying to advertize that anarcho-capitalism thing via web video, u know? how do we know that if we did convert to anarchy, then people who could start IT won't just go and bite off society's heads as soon as they get big enough, as stated here about capitalists and stuff?

This is tripe, The welfare state is a ponzi scheme? Got a bit of a point with the loans for war, That cunt Bush knew he and such were never going to pay for it, Got the unborn ready for that debt

Ugggghhh ... This video is so fundamentally wrong that I couldn't watch more than half of it.

Where did you get your half-baked ideas? Ayn Rand?

When we were still a Republic our system was a form of a mild controlled anarchy or at least this was the intent of anti federalists like Madison and Jefferson who believed in limited federal governmental control. Men like Hamilton and even George Washington believed in more of a centralized form of government. The Federalist vs Anti Federalist debate is and has been the root to nearly every domestic political debate in American history since the days of our Founders.

[MrStrictlyStock]

Given human nature, anarchism is impossible. Or more to the point, the strong and/or bullies would conquer and impose their government.

Hence, the Constitution is concerned with "providing for the common defense." This addresses would be conquerers from the "outside." Until Teddy Roosevelt, the conquerers within had a free pass.

The government we now have is strangling us. Self reliance is becoming more and more an elusive goal. But anarchy is not the answer.

@MrStrictlyStock "Cronyism" back in the days of our founders than there is today. Now adays when we see, let's say, President Bush giving contracts to Haliburton in Iraq we see it as some plot or conspiracy between government & lobbyist or crooks within the government trying to get ritch. In the days of our founders this was common and not looked upon as some evil scheme. It was likened to me hiring a friend who I knew and trusted and I knew to be a good plumber to do my plumbing work.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 Though conceptually you are spot on, the national government had precious little in favors to hand out until 1861. And a steady source of revenue to support ongoing government bloat did not exist until the Income Tax.

Nowadays your analogy would be hiring 25 plumbers to do the work of one when the need for the one didn't really exist.

@MrStrictlyStock I read many years ago on defense spending works. To get more money comming in from year to year etc. the Def. Dept. has to spend what they already have before the next budget & the allocation of funds are reviewed if they want to keep money flowing in. Which creats substantial waste in both resources & capital. It's like a skilled laborer destroying/giving away perfectly good tools to get more money for more tools. This applies to more than Def. spending & hardware I'm sure.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 This is something not limited to the Defense Department. If all the monies budgeted to a department haven't been pissed away, the next year's basis will be smaller. And the bureaucrat's little empire will shrink.

Not many know it, but the bills that create these agencies have a built in yearly increase for future funding. Not spending it all is a tantamont admission that one's department is but useless baggage. All the more reason to fritter the money away.

@MrStrictlyStock Good Lord is there a better example of why this country is in the economic crapper than that? Is there a better example of why we are so overly regulated and we have plenty of shmucks in high places to see that we adhere to these regulations? Awfull Gestapo like, accept for the fact that the Germans are historically rather efficient which we are not. But then again as you pointed out efficiency is the antagonist of the bureaucrat and the bureaucratic machines of this country.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 The better rationale is that voters have been lackadaisical or just downright lazy at choosing their representatives for half a century. We the People have become We the Disinterested.

The libtard philosophy has been indoctrinated into our youth in the government schools, displacing sound, basic education; and the voters continue electing school board members who perpetuate it.

Is it any wonder they send losers & traitors to Washington?

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock Even amongst those who follow the happenings of local, state & federal government and who are privy to historical & more recent political doctrine most of us haven't a clue how the bureaucracy truely works. Anyone who has ever dealt with the IRS, public education, DMV, military service or what ever governmental institution knows only a sample of the red tape bull shit that goes on behind the scenes. The down grade of education is certainly no mistake though, it is subterfuge.

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 There are now more bureaucrats than workers in mining, manufacturing, farming and construction combined.

What would all those bureaucrats do for a living if we didn't have all the red tape?

If teachers are busy teaching diversity & political correctness, reliance on government, the evil history of the US, the glories of collective action, the evil of individualism, however do you expect them to have the time to teach the mundane like math & science?

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock Lets not forget that in addition to all of the agenda pushing the "educators" spend so much time seperating latino, racist blacks, asians and white gang bangers in ethnically sensative ways. US history via the text books are taught almost verbatim from the news paper headlines of the day accept for the Indian wars & the Vietnam war which are both taught most unfavorably these days. When has mass media ever been a credible source of historic fact or non biased current events?

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 The mass media is and always has been a business. A business needs clients. Being "economical" with the truth, or "improving" it is good for business.

It has always been this way, whether it's William Randolh Hearst stoking the fires of war despite President McKinley's inclination to the contrary, or the modern lamestream media and it's love affair with Keynesian economics, collectivism and waffling on foreign adventures.

This can be blamed on voters too lazy for else.

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock Today's leftist media and "educators" take the leftist agenda to a whole nother extreme. If I were a history teacher would I really need to interject my opinions on let's say Adolph Hitler for most of my students to come to the conclusion that Hitler was a power hungry mad man and evil? Couldn't history verbatim easily instill that opinion in most students? Why do I as an educator need to impress upon my students who was right and who was wrong in the War Between the States?

[MrStrictlyStock]

@BradNC11175 My dear sir, the answer to your question is poignantly obvious. By demonizing the last bastion of original American values, it is much easier to look condemnatiously upon them.

[BradNC11175]

@MrStrictlyStock In deed, those insidious slack jawed primated otherwise known as collectivists and their bedfellows deviants: the imps & demons known as progressives have their less far less than noble Marxist agendas and are equally as unscrupulous as Marx himself and his most noted collectivist progeny: Stalin, Lenin, Mao and the likes. Pour Holy water on the lot of them and watch them disintigrate! Perhaps if there  be a shortage of Holy water other means of disintigration need be employed?

[LordDyhalto]

There's a slight problem with your anarcho-capitalist model.

Governments tend to form themselves, be it the wealthy industrialist in a small town or an outright mob of well coordinated goons. The only way to prevent such creations is to have an existing government structure already in place.

As for the corruption of government, it's the inevitable consequence of the apathy of the population. No system can work without the cooperation of all participants, and the crap we have now is the result.
