      That sums up the Tax-doging Billionaires who hide their wealth in off-shore Tax Havens and Hypocritically take their share of universal social welfare state benefits which are funded by the illegal Poll and Council taxes levied on working women like myself from the age of 21, who worked a 40 hour week for a minimum wage of £1.66 an hour, with No Child benefits. These Millionaires who paid no taxes but helped themselves to benefits funded by the illegal Taxes levied on women like myself who worked for No Family life are in the words of Marx, "Parasites on the skin of Society". :-(

    • @TheABCeazy123
      @TheABCeazy123 8 лет назад +6

      The sad thing that Trump's rise has culminated not because of the Constitution or our checks and balances, but because we have abandoned those foundational constitutional principles in favor of a bloated federal government that wants to plan things and redistribute wealth which should really be left up to the states.
      Indeed progressivism has "progressed" for the past 100 years in the form of a bigger government that now has a debt over 100% of our annual GDP. We are in dangerous territory. We have only to blame ourselves, not the Constitution.

      +TheABCeazy123 It's called the Cloward-Piven Strategy: planners create a "solution" to a problem that unintentionally or not only exacerbates the problem, creating a huge crisis that let's planners convince us that more planning is needed.

    • @larryclemens
      @larryclemens  8 лет назад +18

      +TheABCeazy123
      Yes, Trump is a reaction to the failure of the planners (establishment dems and repubs). The problem is there is no choice given that all other choices, at least for President, represent planners. This includes Cruz and Sanders. Sanders is the super-planner in that he wants more centralized control under the guise of "helping" people. Cruz, despite his rhetoric, is beholden to his financial backers (Goldman Sachs for one, his wife's employer). He's really no different than all other establishment candidates They will want something for their investment. They always do.
      The only choice then is Trump. This will help speed up the collapse of the artificially propped up economy and artificial social/cultural structures foisted on us by the planners.

    • @TheABCeazy123
      @TheABCeazy123 8 лет назад +1

      +Larry Clemens I like what you say, but you're wrong about Ted Cruz. Just because his wife works at Goldman Sachs and he got a loan from there doesn't mean he's "beholden" to them. He could have gotten a loan from anywhere else to finance his run for Senate. If that were the case, then everybody with a mortgage would be "owned" by their banks. Banks don't own this country. It was the government's fault for forcing banks to issue sub prime mortgages to poor people ho couldn't afford homes.

    • @TheABCeazy123
      @TheABCeazy123 8 лет назад +1

      +Larry Clemens in fact, ted's wife is on leave from Goldman Sachs to help with his campaign. you can vote for whoever you want, but I'm going with the constitutional conservative who has the best chance of steering our country back to sanity: Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz is not a planner. He had ideas to gut the government like killing the departments of education, HUD, Commerce, IRS. He's serious. Ted Cruz isn't perfect, but he's close to it. it's all about who you distrust the least, not who you trust the most. There's too much for us to lose so we can't just worry about a collapse and expect one to come. We have to stay positive. Our politics is not "rigged" or conspiratorial. We've just been electing shitty people who don't know how to stop spending like Bush 43, Obama. Although we do let the media try to convince us to vote liberal since the mainstream media is the propaganda wing of the Democratic Party. Now THAT is conspiratorial.

    5:08 Hayek's propaganda is way out of date. Scores of countries have abolished capital punishment since the 1940's, so how do they collect taxes and supply services like universal health care if they don't threaten to murder their citizens for noncompliance?

      Whether there is capital punishment or not is completely irrelevant. If you don't pay your taxes, men with guns will eventually seize your property and throw you into a cage. And if you resist out of self defense you will be beaten and quite possibly shot to your death in the process by State agents. Government is force!, always and everywhere.

    • @RickZackExploreOffroad
      @RickZackExploreOffroad 5 лет назад +9

      The only way Hayek is out of date is he tended to use National Socialism as an example. But RTS was written in 1944 and we were allies with the Bolsheviks. Except in the war years he often used Soviet Socialism as an example. He recognized that socialism always leads to tyranny and the loss of liberty.
      His summary on why the worst always rises to the top in socialist systems is summed up brilliantly "on the plantation the overseer in charge of the slaves isn't chosen because of his good heart".
      The Road to Serfdom is just as valid today as it was when written and is the perfect rebuttal to Keynesian/Fascist/Socialist economic theory.
