Please explain why wall street makes absurd profits during recessions if government taxation is the reason unemployment is so high. Do you really think that if those taxes were repealed that the released capital would be returned to the worker? Isn't it more realistic to suppose that the "masters" would use it solely to increase profits? After all, "greed is the driving force of human affairs" as you quoted in your first video...

@jjaggers there should be no government at all, and so no corporations

You convinced me in this video. So, I've decided to lobb a fairly large branch off the tree, and I'm trimming off the branches right now. It should make a great club with which I will just beat the Healthcare companies, the Oil companies, and all the corporate lobbyists out of existence. Mind you, I intend to shout out profanities while I do it!

I'm constantly questioning things because I have a hard time accepting being sodomised against my will, but the more I raise questions the harder it gets for me to find satisfactory answers. However, you and this channel, give us, the unconscious sheep, the impression that you have all the answers. You've figured this out! All in all, all we get is - No Government. No government? No government? That is your solution? Man, that is so thin it has no structure.

All I can say is that you have to be one of the most amazing personalities I have ever run across. Fantastic stuff!

Keep up the good work.

@brianmo180 Amen, brother. Ignorance is bliss for the masses.

If you think Westerners are living on scraps -- what do you think Cambodians getting 20c per hour on living on?

We can not all become staggeringly wealthy in a capitalist society -- there is unfortunately always those at the bottom getting paid a pittance.

@dataphreak You're assuming that companies that are directly competing with one another would, in the absence of coercive, captured, regulatory institutions, fix prices and refuse to undercut each other. If all companies suddenly have a greater profit margin due to taxes being cut, then any one of them can expand production, lower prices and get even more profit at the cost of the competition. Their greed causes prices to fall (assuming no inflation) and, ultimately, profit margins to shrink.

Stuff like this is why intelligent people tend to be more depressed than stupid people.

A corporation or a business exists to produce something, be it oil, food, clothes, etc. They are the true benefactors of mankind. The government produces nothing except corruption and protection rackets and stagnation and tyranny. But we are all indoctrinated--in public schools, in universities, in movies, in music, in art & literature, everywhere--to believe that production is evil and we need bureaucrats to protect us from the people who keep us alive. Separation of economics and state NOW
