  • Wow,I found a new George Carlan.

  • @reivenlocke I disagree. Most people are so oppressed that humor is needed to get the message across and retained in their memory. Thus, his brand of communication will more likely result in people taking substantive action.

  • @jimberkt You're missing the point.

    These Corporations and Lobbyists believe in survival and continuity which is the lifeblood of capitalism in this country.

    No company worth its salt believes in real competition.

    Competition is something you put up with until you can dominate the market and buy out or kill your competitors and thus become a monopoly.

    So-called freemarket principles don't apply.

    They have no problem put out a free market message-they simply don't believe in it.

  • Because in the 80's Regan promoted laissez faire free market capitalism. Corporations and govt lobbyists were happy to adhere to the free market principles that suited them but conveniently chose not to adhere to those that didnt, like going bankrupt and not taking huge government bailouts. More a failure of free marketers to get the full message across. Too bad...

  • This video should have 20 million hits.

  • I've thought about this type of thing a lot lately.

  • I recall dairy farmer co-ops dumping tanker truck of milk on the roadside rather than sell it below their cost. However, there are other ways to increase their price rather than hormones. Another bad one is diethyl sylbesterol which is a KNOWN carcinogen.

  • This guy is so self-absorbed. He's more concerned about illiciting the next laugh than he is about making people more governmentally conscious.
