@30:25, you said "Social Security is one of the most successful governemnt program that we ever have".

Ponzi scheme is the best government program ever? Berni Madoff would be proud, so is Joseph Goebbels. You really know how to push back the frontier of knowledge. Social Security is totally bankrupt.

You are doing evil by promoting Keynesian pseudo-science and Ponzi scheme.

What 401Ks? Corporations are walking off with them. Do you trust corporations? Looks like they are the true welfare queens.

Why do liberals talk aboutt separation of church and state on issues like abortion, but then bring up religion on issues like redistribution of wealth? Religion doesn't teach forced charity. Redistribution of wealth is a perversion of charity.

56:28--"We have tried that" (let the market decide)...wow, she's frightening, deeply obsessed with control! She fails to realize that the "Market" is the workforce, of course they should decide. Furthermore, she fails to realize that Government skews the market in favor of big business...We have yet to realize a "Free Market" (equal access to all buyers and sellers). Unfortunately, she represents the naive direction our "Management" will take us towards..elected by the workforce! bravo
