That's easy. Corporations can't force you to business with them. Corporations also can't violate your civil rights, put you in prison, or force your son to go to war. The government can (and has) many, many times.

this is a clever video, but nothing more than propaganda.

nobody wants the government to have too much power... but is it a better solution to give all of that power to corporations??

don't be ridiculous.

I'll bet you won't see the 'cato institute' getting up in arms over the Patriot act, yet here they are, so quick to defend our 'constitutional rights...'

give me a fucking break. or better yet... just drop dead.

@themagicbullet free speech is too much power? Interesting. I'm guessing you were against Google and Reddit coming out against SOPA and PIPA right?

As for the Cato Institute - you might want to do some research before looking like an idiot. A quick search on their website shows more than 1200 articles and videos related to the patriot act - all negative.

@dinojake02 You don't understand what Fascism is. You shouldn't use terms you don't understand. Fascism is industry controlling government. EVERYTHING I said is exactly the opposite of Fascism. Either you work for a corporation spreading misinformation or you don't know what the hell you are talking about. What is intolerant about what I said?

@themagicbullet ......wow you are retarded. Cato says nothing except bad things about the Patriot act, and in fact all US military adventurism overseas.

Way to prove you are a completely misinformed load. You'd do well to draw on your own advice and drop dead.

[dinojake02]

@tripfunkmonster : my god, you're an unrepentant fascist. And you no doubt imagine yourself as "tolerant," right? War is peace, slavery is freedom.

This video is such bullshit. It's shilling for organized groups that have more money than you (and hate you) and it wants you to like them.

[pinkymixology]

@ZDWmiamicane Blackwater can.

@mkdelta69 Fuck you

[dallasmsl]

This video is so misleading.

@RadAntelope: Is that a joke? Ron Paul is about as far away from my political beliefs as someone could be. I would like to see the ending of private financing of elections, professional lobbying criminalized, actual oversight of Wall St. - as opposed to pretend legislation, the internet sold to communications corps - not given to them, legislation to prevent monopolies & cartels, no bailouts to any corporations, loopholes taken out of tax law, corporate profit taken out of basic necessities...
