Please share this information, so that when the crash comes, people will not think that it is freedom that has failed, but state power that has brought us down.

  • You should qualify your statement that "~50% of adult Americans don't pay any taxes at all" with "~50% of adult Americans don't pay Federal Income taxes at all." There are plenty of Social Security Taxes, FICA Taxes, Unemployment Taxes, Gasoline Taxes, Sales Taxes, and mark-ups on goods which cover taxes paid by Corporations so in effect they are paying the tax since it is passed along, paid by those not paying any Income Tax.

  • This isn't news to me at all, but I'm so glad that you're here spreading it to those who don't know it.

  • @CoolCoverBro Beck was insane, which doesn't mean that he was wrong about some things, but it doesn't help his credibility. He thinks the answer is religion. Heck, he said that the problem is that we've become too secular. I hope he was just playing a character when he said that.

  • @PluralOfEverything Same here, Glenn Beck has been saying this for years now, and everyone called him, and still calls him insane.

  • Analogy of what is really going on:

    Imagine some violent, gun wielding thugs, WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT, give you "protection" from other gangs -- according to hundreds of thousands of rules they invent. Of course, to pay for this "service", they steal a percentage of your income...then, they waste it all into bankruptcy, then go to their banker and borrow from them, explaining "RELAX, WE'LL STEAL MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE FUTURE TO PAY THIS BACK...BECAUSE WE CAN FORCE IT OUT OF THEM!"

  • "CRONY capitalism" has failed. We have not known true capitalism in this nation of ours for more than several generations. The state is directly responsible for "crony capitalism," thus, the state has failed.

  • @ryanswan0

    Perhaps the statement could be clarified by saying, 50% of adults have a net positive economic relationship with the state.

  • Correction: The State and Capitalism has failed.

  • great vid. thanks for posting.

  • There is an incredible amount of propaganda going on to try to distract people, to make them think that "privatization" and "deregulation" is the root cause of the problems people are seeing, and as far as I can tell it's working.

    This is a very, very bad thing. It's setting up the US to, like Rome before, to go from a Republic to a Dictatorship because the problems seen are being blamed on freedom where none exists.
