If a company sells toxic goods the free market would get rid of it by consumer choice, aka voting with dollars, and lets not forget the legal system. Also what company denies access based on race? This isn't the 60's. Also not all jobs are "skilled" jobs and do not require the same pay as a trained professional. As a "minority" who started at the bottom and worked hard to advanced I have realized the fruits of hard work and determination, I don't need " The Man's" crutch.

@ZO5150 Yeah, except that some toxins take years to have an effect, so how the hell are consumers going to know which product caused their health problems? That's why we have regulations, retard. Second, there are plenty of racists who would flock to any business that denies blacks. There are over 2,000 racial hate groups in the U.S. Third, congrats on working, give yourself a cookie. Now go tell a double amputee vet or bankrupt cancer patient that they wouldn't be poor if they just work harder.

At least this clip got something right. Garbage like this usually does come from some loser coffee dude or first year college student who idolizes ex hippie radical professor. Give me a break. Liberals are more totalitarian than any conservative. If personal freedom and liberty mean anything you lefty pricks would be Libertarians.

@ZO5150 The "freedom" of a corporation to dump toxic waste in our groundwater or sell us products that will give us cancer 30 years later so we have no idea what caused it is not a "personal freedom." The "freedom" of a business to deny people access based on race is not a "personal freedom." The "freedom" of a corporation to pay it's people wages equivalent to those in China (where manufacturing plants install nets outside to prevent suicide jumps), is not a "personal freedom."

@whatisahumans DON'T BUY PRODUCTS THEN IF YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THEM BEING TOXIC. YOU HAVE NO ENTITLEMENT TO SAFE PRODUCTS. MANUFACTURERS HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO MAKE SAFE PRODUCTS.

[whatisahumans]

@leeknivek Finally, an honest Ron Paul cultists who admits the only reason companies support deregulation is so that they can sell toxic products.

@juantrippe82 yea it would be pretty stupid if you cut everything all at one time. But just like people got on the program people can get off the program at the same pace. We much better off before these programs came around and no one was on the streets dying like they are today. These programs only hurt they do not help it's a nice sound bite for those that dont understand economics but in practice it has failed horribly. It's about fixing it's about getting rid of it.

@claytonhjames Soaking the rich does not make the poor richer, it makes the world poorer.

[leeknivek]

@juantrippe82 What is a company going to gain from selling you toxic products? If you're dissatisfied, they lose a customer. If they do that a lot, they lose their reputation. Then they go out of business. Why would they EVER want to do that?

[juantrippe82]

@podman27 You're comparing apples and oranges.

[juantrippe82]

@podman27 More hyperbole from the Paul/Ayn Rand cultists who since 1980 have enjoyed the highest levels of income while shifting the responsibility of maintaining a decent society to the middle class. I believe libertarianism works best when there is no middle class. That’s what the Austrian/Chicago school economists have conditioned us into thinking we need an obedient working class in order to build a ‘free’ society while dangling the carrot of ‘prosperity’ in front of it.

[juantrippe82]

@squidwurrd While I do agree that programs like public healthcare and welfare need to be reviewed in order to find waste and fraud, a total shutdown of these programs would inevitably lead to chaos and human misery.

[juantrippe82]

@leeknivek Then why do they try when there are regs in place to prevent it?

[juantrippe82]

@leeknivek Are you serious!?!?!? What company is going to tell you that a product is toxic? How are we to tell that a product is toxic? Telepathy?

[mropinionful]

@ZO5150 We have the highest corporate taxes in the world. You are entitled to nothing but what you earn. You cannot raise taxes in a recession you ignorant fuck google herbert hoover. It was a disaster. If i ever get rich i wont apoligize for it, neither would you if ur shitty lib videos ever got big an were not laughed at. go learn some shit, better yet, watch the repubs fix shit when obamas gone in 2012. you ignorant fuck

[leeknivek]

@whatisahumans You might want to rethink that. Why would a company want to sell toxic products? Would they really sacrifice their reputation solely to make a quick buck? They're greedy, as anyone else. You, me, them, we're all greedy. Self-interest runs the world. To say otherwise is ignorant.

Now, if it's in their best interest to continue to get people to buy their products, why on earth would they make faulty products? That's all the incentive they need. You don't need regulation for it.
