"when people find that they can vote themselves money, that will be the end of the republic."

so true... so very, very true.

Its not a "token black guy." Ever heard of Thomas Sowell? Liberty is popular with all people - regardless of race or ethnicity.

This is not that important but does anyone notice how these old videos that were recorded on tape have a warm, dynamic quality that the modern ones recorded digitally lack?

@mites7 Rabbi Wiseman one of the most prominent American Jews in 1935: "Some call it communism, others Bolshevism; I call it Judaism". You print Jewish propaganda. You do know that 95% of the Bolshevik Party in Russia which murdered the Tsar Nicholas II, his family & ministers were Jews? They installed the worlds first Communist Government in 1918, & from that time on in Russia, "anti-Semitism" & "anti-Communism/Government" were both punished by death! Over 40 million people starved & murdered!!

@rross27 Please, I implore you not to liken Bolshevism with Judaism, the two are totally polar opposites. The USSR oppressed Jews who wished to practice their faith relentlessly because they didnt fit into the communist mold. Some of the most prominent speakers for Libertarianism, Ayn Rand and Milton Friedman were both ethnically Jewish, and Peter Schiff is as well. He's obviously more minor. I hate nothing more than the fact that so many American Jews are leftists, it's sad.

I think liberty is only popular by rhetoric, but it's also the case that different people have different views of what liberty is. Mostly though, I think most folks are easily scared into abandoning liberty...and my interpretation of that is that liberty really isn't that popular, unfortunately

Mindblowingly uncanny how relevant this lecture/speech is to modern day society / economy...
