The Story of Broke (2011) -Teaser One

COMING NOVEMBER 8th, 2011: The Story of Broke, www.storyofbroke.org-
The United States isn't broke; we're the richest country on the planet and a country in which the richest among us are doing exceptionally well. But the truth is, our economy is broken, producing more pollution, greenhouse gasses and garbage than any other country. In these and so many other ways, it just isn't working. But rather than invest in something better, we continue to keep this 'dinosaur economy' on life support with hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax money. The Story of Broke calls for a shift in government spending toward investments in clean, green solutions—renewable energy, safer chemicals and materials, zero waste and more—that can deliver jobs AND a healthier environment. It's time to rebuild the American Dream; but this time, let's build it better.

@eatsimplefood The economic calculation problem can be difficult to explain in under 500 characters. There's an essay by FA Hayek called "The Use of Knowledge in Society" which puts it most eloquently and which I could not recommend highly enough. See: econlib[.]org/library/Essays/h­ykKnw1[.]html

Who funded Zeitgeist addendum. Look it up yourself, do some bloody research. Try The Money Masters and The creature from Jeckyll Island instead. Thanks for your attention.

You do know that this is foundation funded by George Soros, Paul Erlich and other anti human trolls. People fall for the simple interface and the lies between the truths. Very dangerous to listen to this and upcoming videos at face value. Conmen gain your trust before they screw you.

Progressivism / Liberalism / Statism advocates changes or reform through GOV'T action.

Give ANY politician or bureaucrat the power to "redistribute & regulate" OTHER people’s money & choices and they will ALWAYS pass laws to benefit THEIR “special interest” campaign backers; Banks, Wall Street, Military-Industrial Complex, Marxist Unions, Giant "Green" Corps, Big Oil, Pharma, Insurance etc.

Statism = Political Cronyism.

The Fed’s FIAT (counterfeit) debt-currency FUELS THE FIRE!

@kev3d Moar tautologies. Hey, did you hear anarchy is incredibly cheap for the tax-payer?

[kev3d]

@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO Are you going to present actual arguments or continue to use baseless insults and meaningless tautologies?

[IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO]

@kev3d Obvious astroturfer is obvious

[kev3d]

@IOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIOIO You realize of course that the Kochs employ about 50,000 Americans and another 20,000 foreigners and have donated hundreds of millions of charity including cancer research. If that is "destroying America" then I would like to know what your idea is of helping it.
