The Great Lie of the Nanny State

[safetychoice]

Government interference in automotive design and automotive safety has, so far, cost the American people more than 40,000 lives and more than $100 billion dollars. Every time NHTSA mandates that another crackpot invention be installed in cars, somebody makes a lot of money and more people die.

So what was life like in the 19th century before we had these regulations?

[jhillst]

This video makes some good points but ignores one major issue: the root of these problems is not the government itself, but rather the corporate lobbyists and special interest groups that influence government. The government IS meant to look after our best interests, but when groups like food and drug companies use their power to corrupt government, the opposite happens.

"Less government involvement" sounds good in theory, but in reality it often ends up making corporate power stronger.

I’m afraid to watch more of these.

I hate the indoctrination of the so-call global climate-change/warming. Current students in public school are forced to learn this big lie w/o counter argument or rebuttal of the facts stated by over 600 scientists..

[globalwarmnotmanmade]

@hoorano That's so true. And news programs only ever show one side of the argument and then claim that they're allowing people to make up their own mind.. RUBBISH!

One thing I find ironic pot is illegal despite being largely harmless but paxil is legal despite being proven a very damaging drug.

If power courrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, and The Law has absolute power .........

I'm not liking the image you used from 1:37 to 1:50.

[sony8877]

@LowcountryJoe2 it says capitalism at the top of the image, this is wrong , the corporate state structure we have is not capitalism, although the name has been manipulated to make people think that the market is too free and more state control is necessary, when its the opposite, the state falls and so do the large corporations monopoly, if we are at a stage where people think that the structure of kings and queens and government regulation is part of capitalism then we need a new word

[theInversion99]

@LowcountryJoe2 Ironically, that image was originally used by socialists as a critique of capitalist society. I was actually quite surprised to a state-rights advocate using it against the welfare state. It doesn't really work against either capitalism or the welfare state...though it would be a nice critique of Feudalism. (not that there would be any point in critiquing a system no one advocates anymore.)

[joeypete]

The video is correct and logical assessment of the game that the government is playing today with the rights of the people. Its the sell out-take over game in full effect.

Great video! Personal accountability and personal liberty with attendant responsibility over Big Brother/Big Gov any day!
