I also want to thank you for letting me know about the political compass test. I took it and found I'm a lot further left on the economy than I thought but I'm right about where you are on social issues. I think my hard left stance comes from my belief that businesses exist by will and consent of the people and should be regulated as such, not necessarily run by the government but regulated as much as necessary to ensure fair practices and opportunity for competition.

I'm sorry, but you are not a minarchist. Minarchists believe taxes should be as low as possible, and nothing should be funded by the government except the courts, the police, and the military. Minarchists believe in small government, right? If the government subsidizes healthcare, I don't call that small government. Economic liberty does not just refer to the freedom to impliment private institutions without government intervention. It means the right to be (mostly) free from taxation as well.

Great video, by the way :)

@fruitikay That is, a democracy can be a monarchy, like the UK, Holland, the Scandinavian countries or Spain. Conversely, a republic can be a dictatorship, like the aforementioned China and all the historical dictatorships that existed in Latin America until recently and of which Cuba is the last one.
The meaning Plato or Aristotle may have given to the word "republic" in their time doesn't affect what we understand for "republic" today, which is simply "a country without a king or queen".

@fruitikay "We are not just a Republic-but Technically we are supposed to be a Democratic-Republic"
Correct! Finally somebody makes sense.
I am not American, but I find a lot of pathetic morons here in YT who state: "we are not a democracy, we are a republic".
Republic: no king. Both China and the US for instance. Both dictatorships and democracies can be republics.
Democracy: real elections from which a parliament emerges (optionally also the president), civil liberties, etc.

I think it's compassionate & proper for a society to provide medical care to its members. I disagree that it's a "right" & ought to be provided by govt. funding. My reasoning-
A "right" is a freedom of individual action in a social context, not a freedom of an individual to demand the professional services of others within a society.
Govt. is force. The only proper use of that force is to prevent or respond to the initiation of force.
Society should provide medical care, but society =/= govt.

As to your position on Healthcare, I think you might want to do some research on the Canadian experience. I'm with the Freedom Party of Ontario. Watch our video: "From the Horse's Mouth: Why Medicare is Failing Ontario's Sick and Injured" watch?v=wp3bk4QQt54.
I think you also ought to consider what human rights are, because I think you're confusing so-called "postive" rights with negative rights. On principle, what separates you from a "liberal" who wants a welfare state?

@labobo -_-' This video is just responding to the comments that were made on other videos by users. I'm responding to my audience and their common questions. And I DO do stuff about it. And most of my videos don't even talk about politics anyway.
