Peter wasn't really bragging, he was trying to make a point because the guy was completely clueless about economics. Peter wasn't rubbing it in that he had so much more money than the guy and that made him better than him. He was saying he had so much money outside of the U.S. because of the conditions here. I don't think he was bragging at all although he could have probably worded it better.

@jackolini exactly what I was thinking

[danmannz]

Thanks for uploading.. Pitty there isnt more of it

@danmannz I know, but I had to try and jump between alot of the pie in the sky talk that was going on to get to the meat of the debate. To be fair none of the guys surrounding Peter have ever run a company. So all they did was spout about the ideas!! Nothing more

@Seano71 its not magic. Its letting hard working, creative, entrepreneurial people create wealth. Everyone one is invited to the party to invent and create prosperity. With anti-capitalism (socialism) you lock the doors and have a couple rabbits on a running wheel trying to keep the economy going. Socialism doesn't work. redistribution of wealth by the state doesn't work. corporatism doesn't work.

capitalism is the best we have.

These people make things up, and then argue against a fantasy. It's really outrageous.

@jackolini Indeed. Peter has said something along the lines of enjoying provoking people in debates. He often makes harsh and comedic points exactly to make the other person look a bit like a fool, but not with the goal of making the person look like less of a person, but strictly with the goal of making a good point that makes the person look bad strictly in terms of lack of insight and knowledge on the topic. The person he debates may get angry, but the audience will appreciate the point made.

@MyWordsAreTheTruth

we have kings and queens too behind the shadows and congressional royalty bribed by fear and desire restrained by propaganda. World government brought to you by a slow incremental Fascism where in corporations and govt are in bed together.

@mrdoonbeg

I know "college degree" humans always suffer from the case of "the supposeda's"

you know the way things are supposed to be rather than the reality of whats really around them

@bonfirejovi Yes the Fed is a private corporation as are all central banks in the world. I suggest you watch 'the money masters' and 'money as debt' here on youtube for a complete understanding. these videos make total sense in our messed up economic world.

[bonfirejovi]

The Fed is a private corporation??? Don't you mean a government created monopoly with a dual mandate?

Where is the Schiff pwnt dialogue?

Let just say that Peter is wrong about the Euro. But I never believe his understanding of Euro and Europe is his expertise anyway.

I think USD would continue to rebound past 80 bc of the debt crisis in Ireland, and Peter would probably disagree with me. But still, USD is in grave danger regardless what u think of Peter.

[whitecant0]

Wow. So you think Peter has a silver spoon handed to him.

Not that I like Peter, but many of his haters are just delivering ad hominem attacks. That is a sign of fail, and I am quite amused from watching it.

P.S. Peter can be a la Michael Vick, but this is certainly not germane, isnt it?

It is like living w/o credit cards. Americans cant handle life w/o credit cards.
