Funny Or Die PSA - Health Care - Video Response - 2 Dumb Kids

This is a video response to a "Fake" Health Care PSA posted on FunnyOrDie.com. The video contains Will Ferrell and a few other Hollywood Statists reading wildly inaccurate information off of cue cards that were provided by MoveOn.org regarding the new Health Care bill.


Follow-Ups to Facebook Video Comments:

Q: Isn't this a bit serious for a follow up to a few actors getting together to make a funny / satirical video?
A: No. The content was provided by MoveOn.org and not by the actors. It was run on MSNBC. There were some major players involved in releasing this video.

Q: Aren't some of the ideas put forward at the end a little "Conspiracy Theory-esque" when it comes to the Democratic Party?
A: No. I'm not suggesting that there is some large conspiracy among all Democrats. I am merely pointing out one particular strategy that the Liberal owned media uses as damage control quite often. If you can label conservatives as racists then you can delegitimize any rational argument they can make to anyone who might be on the fence regarding their political beliefs. If you can convince a middle class population that making above a certain threshold of money is evil, you can buy votes from those people to steal that money from wealthy. It's a very simple strategy that's used every day (even in this video)... not a conspiracy theory... and it works.

Q: This guy must believe in "Trickle-Down" economics!
A: The day you can explain to me how "Trickle-Up" economics works I will mail you my economics degree (frame included). The fact is, stealing money from rich people and giving it to poor people doesn't build an economy. It actually cuts the throat of the poor. Rich people don't sleep on piles of their money at night. They open small businesses and hire employees. They put their money into banks that make home / car / investment loans to people like you and me. The government does not create money, private enterprise does. I suggest you wiki the "money multiplier effect" and the "standard government multiplier" to understand the creation of money a little better. You might look around and see companies like McDonalds and think that Big Business rules the world... but you would be overlooking the fact that McDonalds is composed of 31,000 small businesses owned and operated by independent franchises (small business owners) that also employ 1.5 million people. The McDonalds corporation merely provides the food and and a proven successful business model for its investors to follow. Look around... there's a lot more small business than you think. Chances are, you either own one or work for one.

How was what happened to the banks not socialism? Or the energy companies?

[2DumbKidsVideo]

@Kronus420 ... or GM? ... I never said it wasn't.

As for my video response, I tried to stay on topic as much as possible & respond to each quippy remark separately. Feel free to give a more detailed opinion / argument if you'd like.

@15wildhockey15 Thanks for stopping by. Compliments are rare, so thanks for taking the time to comment. Cheers. ;)

Liberals are ruining our country. Everyone feels a sense of entitlement these days. What happened to personal responsibility?!

[2DumbKidsVideo]

@2DumbKidsVideo I guess what I would like from you before we go any further is for you to tell me what you think we should do. Do you believe that we would be better off with only a federal single payer option? If so, why? Try to keep your answers economic / incentive based. Game theory / behavioral econ is always welcome. If you can keep your answer as tidy as possible, I'll will also try to take each point one at a time and keep my answers as tidy / short as possible. Thanks.

@2DumbKidsVideo You also seem to understand that people will move away from these socialist states and gravitate towards the states that respect private property rights and that this will cause those more socialist states to eventually fail... and yet, you seem to believe that if we allow the Federal Government to force every state to adopt such a mandate, that it will not result in the same communist / socialist problems that Eastern / Western Europe has faced for EVERY state.
