  • There was a time when this would have worked. Today there are so many threats, so many people, and without a strong central government the world would be too dangerous a place to live. A world government is needed to bring the bendfits of science and the worth of the world to all people. A world government is the only solution that will bring peace and security to the world. Without peace it doesn't matter how low your taxes are. Support the U.N., Council on Foreign Affairs, & the Illuminati.

  • In my opinion, the government should manage public assets (tax money) for expenditure on public property maintenance (roads, bridges, traffic systems) and needed public services such as a military, court system, police, and various other necessary services. I believe in a military because it is essentially a highly organized group of people that want to defend their private and public assets, and I think a VERY mild legal system should exist ONLY to defend people from direct harm due to others.

  • if they got rid of the SS for anyone under a certain age Like 25-30 but the problem with that is government likes to "borrow" from that fund so they are not gonna get rid of it anytime soon

  • A flat tax would simply get increased "for our protection". Or if there was still fiat currency, the government would supplement the flat tax w/ the inflation tax.

  • The problem is having a group of people sanctioned with the right to initiate the use of force against the whole society.

    In this kind of situation, it is utterly impossible for unscrupulous people to try to proxy this right to coercion. Also, it is utterly impossible for unscrupulous people to want to be part of that group that coerces people.

  • its come to the point where the people who are frugal about their spending and work hard are underpaid and overworked, but those who entertain make hundreds of millions of dollars and work less hard and are less frugal than the average American, while most people are just getting by, and sad thing is a lot of people think this will continue watching tv a big distraction for what's coming, listening to celebrity gossip, promoting a system falling apart.

  • economics isn't based on common sense or the laws of life or nature. economics is destroying life, nature, human spirits, etc. either way, its all part of the madness to which people do. sad thing is, no matter how much money is thrown at this problem, all it does is acquire more debt for the next generation of an overpopulated world. its about business, not about helping humans, or bringing peace, unity, love, respect, reciprocity, etc

  • "The myth of the golden gun", Government is the monopoly of force/violence PERIOD."well we will just have a smaller gun and we will point it this way and society will work perfectly or better".Everything you named from educating the poor,defense,law/justice can be done better and more efficient on a voluntary basis(anarchy).Giving a minority of people a bunch of guns is not a answer to any complex social problem.

  • I agree with everything in this video. DEMCAD ought to run for representative of his district as an independent 3rd party. What was in the box, that hat he had on?

  • I agree with your analysis. The reality is that “government” is now a bunch of gangsters forcing people to provide wealth, so that criminals may provide services for //themselves//. It is a killing & plunder system, designed for the benefit of the mass murdering Debt Syndicate. Bankers are the principles of the Debt Syndicate. Politicians are WHORES, down on their knees doing the nasty for bankers. The pimps are the Corporation lobbyists, which pay graft for the services of the whores.
