I like it. Good job.

And as to the guy who says "DO you know how many people the police in America killed with a gun... less than 300!"

Start citing evidence. No citation, no trust. Plus, are you somehow under the impression that killing people with guns is the only way the government can take away our rightful freedoms? Sheesh.

[sharperguy]

Not even less than in the movie 300 :D

Good video!

... wait ... whats your point? What does domestic violence have to do with military power? No seriously? how is domestic violence & gun control lead to the government ... doing ... what is the government going to do exactly? ... DO you know how many people the police in America killed with a gun... less than 300! Talk about setting fears in people...

The point is the overwhelming power the government has in comparison to the people who protest its actions. Because of its overwhelming military and its control of information via mainstream news outlets, it is able to infringe upon our civil liberties sometimes even at the behest of the "majority". You of all people know what the hysteric "majority" can do to take away or keep away your civil liberties, and your helplessness at its point of legislation. *That* is what the point is.

[ffmusicdj]

I think it should be noted that there is nothing leading to an overwhelming military control... Yes, people are stupid in the masses, but my civil liberties are not in debate over the power house our government has become. You know, there are real, true, reasons to protest against the government. I wholeheartedly believe that this is not one of them. This government = still better than most countries; you don't know how fortunate you are to be able to say this freely... So more power to ya!

[picopallasi]

Not all encroachments on liberty look like Marcos, Franco, Pinochet or Pol Pot. Not all encroachments on liberty are social liberties like free speech. Much venom is actually towards the encroachment on economic liberty, something typically encouraged by those that consider themselves 'the left' for seemingly 'moral purposes' but leads to more impoverishment. The record of economic history is crystal clear in this, and yet our economic choices still dwindle due to the poor choices of government.

[ffmusicdj]

I felt as though that statement was partly an assumptions based on half truths. The argument here is that the government is at fault, but why? The fact that corporations can blame government and make people believe such fallacious arguments only proves how the masses will rally for the rich like peasant did for kings even though the king treated peasant as dogs. Dark Ages FWT! Thankfully, the economic history you speak of will never effect us in the way where our liberties will be taken.

[picopallasi]

Corporatism is definitely a problem in the US, but corporations love big government. It stifles competition. So the root problem has to be the economically binding policies effected by politicians for lobbyists. Our economic liberties HAVE been compromised a great deal. Our taxes are being forced from us to pay for things we don't want and aren't even getting. Politicians have put us in a ridiculous amount of doubt for no actual returns. Statism always fails. Freedom is the best chance we have.

[picopallasi]

continued...

Kings were not masters of enterprise, they were not businessmen. They are/were implacable dominions of power and statism. So the analogy works contrary to you. Whereas a king would have complete dominion over a people, the businessman is voted on daily by the individual transactions of the market. Whereas you must vote for a politician that may not stand for everything you do, what you purchase is what you vote on daily. So no, free entrepreneurs are actually antithetical to kings.

[ffmusicdj]

I was not speaking in literal terms. Surly if we can learn anything from history, it's what the Kings DID to the masses which is precisely what the corporations are doing to the masses today. That kind of control is actually given to corporations via the government. So yes, the government is at fault for letting capitalism steal our freedom. thankfully the FCC has been doing a good job slapping some of these companies.

[seanwmalone]

I generally want to avoid getting involved in these discussions, but I have to note that the government didn't let "capitalism" steal our freedom - in fact, quite the opposite. The system we have is a corporatist one very similar to what Adam Smith wrote against in The Wealth of Nations. Further, the big corporations you're referring to actually can't exist in the form they do *without* gov't backing redirecting money into the pockets of the politically connected... You have it backwards ff.

[seanwmalone]

It's also *really* important to remember that corporations have no power on their own to put you in jail, to force you to buy their products or make you bail them out when they screw up and they can't take your money by force each year. Only governments have that power... Corporations simply try to influence that power just like everyone else does to get ahead when their livelihoods are at stake - it's actually rather predictable. My next video will be somewhat about this topic... Stay tuned.

I have only one question, how can we get this onto Television and out to the general public? Great Job Sean...

[FDambeck]

An excellent and well thought out video. I look forward to your future projects.
