Don't Eat Your Dog: The Surprising Moral Case for Free Enterprise

http://arthurbrooks.aei.org Government keeps growing -- and freedom keeps shrinking -- because we fail to make the moral case for free enterprise. Based on his best-selling book "The Road to Freedom," AEI President Arthur C. Brooks explains how we can win the fight for free enterprise by articulating what's written on our hearts. "We have to see that we're not in an economic battle for the future of America," Arthur says. "We're in a moral battle."

A Big Mac is no different then a muffin roast? Are you saying eating mcdonalds is no different then eating a dog? lol

There is no such thing as moral, we make our own morality.

Again BS, what about India and China, did China start redistribution programs to lift the poor out of poverty? NO! Still 1 million people are getting out of poverty every month without the violence of the state!

Bullshit, I don't need an expropriating property protector, if you want one, go ahead but don't force it upon me through state violence! /watch?feature=player_embedded­&v=fasTSY-dB-s

Who is John Galt?

Pretty notable that everyone in this video is literally white and seemingly caucasian. There is the "myth" of the fat cats and then the rest of the caucasians, without noting the real need of serious regulation in giant corporations, how they dont pay taxes in most cases and exploitation of the worker going unchecked all around the world (use of subcontractors comes to mind) this is a simplistic and ultimately propagandistic video that serves the neocons.

i disagree. great video though. would have liked it loop back to the dog analogy.

[rexregisanimi]

This video misses the point. This argument attacks a position that doesn't exist on either side of the political isle. Few believe that simply redistributing wealth will make any difference. (That requires hard work and sacrifice.) Here's the real problem: the poor cannot, without assistance, lift themselves out of poverty (except in rare, outlying cases) in modern America. They lost that ability sometime in the last half of the 20th Century.

I wouldn't bother, exploitation is an important aspect in business, and life. you have to exploit to make a profit just like humans exploit other animals to make a profit and lol I am struggling to see a difference between humans and animals. In the end competition will decide who wins and loses.

I'm pretty sure that describing it as propaganda and a distortion of reality is related to the topic..
