  • He's such a smart man. When he testified before Congress a few months ago, he was met with silly conspiracy theories that have been spread around by the slimy Southern Poverty Law Center - which is what you get when you cross a leftist with a redneck.

  • Dough French looks better without the facial hair! Who let him get away with it?

  • It is often assumed that the "free market" could never accommodate for today's large population in America and so subsidies are "necessary." Anyone who tries to point out the flaws with subsidies and interventionism are attacked with slogans like "You don't care about the farmers!" As Thomas clearly points out, there was no free market in agriculture in the first place and these failures were clearly due to govt intervention/regulations. This won't stop them from blaming said failures on TFM.

  • rockefeller ig farben nazis trying to enslave and kill everyone

  • Tyler: probably Lew Rockwell and his praises for beards :)

  • @lambedan Often times it seem's they ask a single individual what would help them, and that's how they end up sith such ridiculous idea's that benefit only one person out of million's.

  • Great talk - Thanks v much

  • This prompted me to look up some more info government intervention in farming. Such as margarine banning or banning the coloring of margarine to help farmers compete. It's crazy what the government feels is necessary.

    BTW, the audio to this video isn't that great.  Other than that I liked it.

  • Hamilton's Curse is one of my favorite books ever.

  • Ivy covered professors, in ivy covered halls!

  • @tylerwylie Yeah you are correct. But hey. He looks older with facial hair. Isn't that good for professors?
