The Broken Window Fallacy (no accents)by samselikoff77,958 views
Telling families of exhausted, hardworking and burned-out police officers, teachers, sanitation workers, etc that they don't really work for their wages, don't have "real jobs" and that their jobs would be best done by the private sector may have some validity from a purely economic standpoint - but it's also the proven recipe for getting between 1-3% in local, state and national elections. Keep preaching to the choir and losing or find a more compelling argument.

Here, here, realrockvince & FrameByFrameStudios. Munger opens the Pandora's box of statism by endorsing govt services. Even if some are necessary they can be more efficiently & safely provided by private companies.

Thumbs down for the hypocritical, pro-war comments in this video.
I echo the comment by FrameByFrameStudios.

Those things Dr Munger claims we need (fire fighters, police and such) can and would all be provided, at a more competitive rate and more adequately, if the market was allowed to provide them. The State's monopoly on these services is not one that a free society needs.
