We're going through some tough economic times right now, but this holiday season, take a moment to appreciate how good we really have it.

Need proof? Just think about how much Christmas presents sucked in the 1970s compared to today.

Thanks to our market-based system, we're wealthier, we have more choices, and we enjoy more leisure time than ever before.

From all of us at Reason.tv, happy holidays!

Produced by Paul Feine and Hawk Jensen. Hosted by Nick Gillespie.

Approximately 1.45 minutes.

  • It's always so refreshing to hear rational facts rather than emotional political rhetoric. Thanks Nick. Once again you make me proud to call myself a Libertarian.

  • The part about working less is just an indication that we are on our way out as a nation. We are reaping the benefits of the hard work of our ancestors who built this nation. What are our descendants going to reap?

  • Well, no, not exactly. We haven't had free market capitalism in this country in decades. And Reason is a libertarian publication, so they do believe in cutting taxes on top earners, that's true. But they also believe in cutting taxes on middle and low earners, too. They aren't Bush. Bush was no conservative, and he certainly was no libertarian. He was a business-first socialist. But yes, you're right, we do have these goodies thanks to big corporations. That's a good thing.

  • @123zoroab No, we need to cut their taxes so that people will continue to have capital and the motivation to create products that increase our standard of living and extend our lives.

  • WOW we have all these goodies thanks to free market capitalism and big corporations.

    We must all show our gratitude to the "wealth creators" and cut taxes on top earners immediately.

  • @toodance Hey. If you don't like the video, don't watch it!
