- Who is John Galt? Usually, a phrase that throws off liberals and progressives. The author of this phrase is Ayn Rand, who authored Atlas Shrugged.
In 1959, she sat down for an interview with Mike Wallace. This is a clip from the interview that perfectly illustrates why liberals don’t like her. But, I’m sure you agree with her!

Who is John Galt? :P

A rapist
most important book to freedom ever written
i think its Elon possibly trump or vivek
@@Epicurwat how do you figure?
The same government that can't explain where a trillion dollars went at the Pentagon wants you to explain a 200$ Goodwill donation.
That’s the most egregious part of this. God forbid your tax returns are off by a slight margin the IRS comes after you. But trillions of our money is unaccounted for with no explanation.
Unbelievable. You are so correct. Work hard to pay off your house and have some very bad circumstances beyond your control happen and you can’t pay your taxes, guess who now owns your house? I would never let that happen however. By the time I was finished, my land would be uninhabitable. Stay well everyone!
Remember the Day before 911??
They announced 3 Billion was missing from the Pentagon!!
911 was an inside job.
The Truth is out there.
The Bush's are EVIL.
AND WHO ARE THEY REALLY??
@@backagain5216 I would own it
, because I will pay someone’s taxes and the house is mine until they pay me back.
It was $2.3 trillion and had gone unaccounted for since 2000. It was last mentioned by Donald Rumsfeld on Sept. 10th, 2001. You know what happened next.
The problem with taxes is not that they CAN be used for our common good, but that they are in large WASTED on things we never asked for.
Ok what happens when the government does so well that no politician has anything they could offer you to get you to vote for them? Failure is reward with bigger budgets and more power to "Fix" the problems round and round till the wheels come off in a revolution or collapse.
@@Barskor1 You have to be incredibly stupid to think that what you said made any sense lol... What would they offer to get elected if they started using tax dollars to actually solve problems? First off, there will always be problems to solve or things to improve upon, so this line of thinking immediately falls apart as soon as you think about it for more than 2 seconds. But even if they did somehow create a utopia we would elect leaders based on their leadership capabilities and not false promises... It's not exactly rocket science.
Maintain instead of fix. innovate, create efficiency. these things become the new points people can run on.
@@Barskor1
@@Barskor1 this has always been a problem but money and taxes isn't the only thing they can run on because things like crime and such other issue that have nothing to do with taxation exist they can run on cleaning up that stuff and or some other issue people think is a problem. the government the federal government was meant to be small and do next to nothing in our day to day lives and it worked that way for about 75 years once they start trying to control everything in our life is when shit went down hill.
Worse, used against us.
Most countries consider healthcare for its citizens a basic human right.
The problem with that is when the country and bureaucrats and money grabbers are the ones choosing the definition of health care. In those programs, the program defines how you're allowed to manage and pay for your health. I want to choose for myself, and don't want them dictating how I do it.
@@Vic-Meowsame way for your corporate healthcare. You dont get a choice and it’s costing more money from you and/or your employer
Affordable basic care should be a basic right. Affordable! Not free

It’s all used by the politicians for their own agenda. Scum who won’t and never have worked, and illegals are getting my disability while I rot. They refused to repay , not “give” actually because I’m a tax payer! I also get no help with healthcare at all yet I’m disabled with no income. If it weren’t for my boyfriend I would be homeless and die. SERIOUS. They are STEALING OUR $ for sht!
@@Vic-Meow in Cyprus we have a national health insurance that covers almost everything but the dentist's only chose to offer a free dental clean once a year doctors can choose to be part of it and we get a pay deduction depending on your income and how many children you have, they give mother's of four a monthly benefit and a tax free low emission car (we prefer hybrids as fuel consumption is lower and road taxes are dirt cheap but it must be brand new, not used, car's here ain't cheap and the wages need some work for the blue collar industry, i know because I am married to a blue collar man and i am proud of him for being such a hard worker and still doing his body building, ladies trust me if you come across a good and decent blue collar man maybe you should give him a chance. Not all gentlemen wear suits, and not all men that wear suits are gentlemen. Sadly our stupid politicians are taking sides in both wars, and Hezbollah has been hurling threats of strikes against us, Beirut is a half an hour flight from where I live. So yes our politicians now feeling uneasy after the European union elections ended and a 24 year old tiktoker beat them to the pole and popped the floor with their stupid excuses, we don't buy a word they said so we punished them in the most legal nonviolent and democratic way, even the msm is telling them they have failed, trust me we the unvaccinated people and more and more of the vaccinated people are coming to our side after the side effects kicked in, some feel guilt for telling their family to get vaccinated and now are left to mourn them. Our health system was really pushy about the vaccines so both msm and the ministry of health have hurt people, gladly we had some awesome doctors on our side but they got so badly slandered. No system is perfect but if we as citizens can put our pride, ego, personal problems aside for a moment and Start making suggestions of how to get something done nothing can stop you! You vote so you hire that means your politicians are there to serve YOU, remind them that! For the safety of humanity worldwide don't vote Biden.

Americans don't like government interference in business, but have no problem with business interfering in government.
Ayn Rand assumed free markets and capitalism are the same thing. They're not.
The perfect world in her books exists in a vacuum of childless, brilliant, healthy adults all in their 20s to 50s. No one is old, infirm, mentally ill, handicapped or needing extensive medical care. It’s a fantasy world that in reality doesn’t exist.
Ayn Rand incorrectly assumes there is such a thing as a free market within a capitalist economic system. There is not.
I’m glad I didn’t have to scroll down very far to find a sensible comment.
Extreme views of the world don't work .
Why is the clip edited so poorly?💩
But the worst thing is to pay taxes to give life pensions to all politicians!!
No one who works for the government should have a pension funded by tax dollars.
Amen.
THAT NEEDS TO CHANGE THEY THINK GOD DOESN'T SEE THAT!!!!!
"A pension is available to members of congress 62 years of age with 5 years of service; 50 years or older with 20 years of service; or 25 years of service at any age." That seems alright to me. I too get a pension in my job with similar rules.
@@henrychurch6062 that’s different
The problem is not taxation.
The problem is accountability
Taxation is theft and slavery.
"It would be thought a hard government, that should tax its people one-tenth part of their time, to be employed in its service..."
--Ben Franklin
Yes it is taxation. Geez, bet you think you should ask "the kings" permission to do anything as well
😮❤
What I'm seeing is examples of Stockholm syndrome
The mistake in Rand's reasoning is that no man produces his wealth alone. He does it with the roads and street lights and emergency services like the police, fire department, and EMT services, a standing army. He does it with the governmental legislatures that produce fair laws, judges that give due process. He travels on government-constructed bridges and uses courthouses.. We all agree to a social contract that allows some bureaucrats to take away a bit of our rights and our money in order to create public works that no individual could create and maintain. Taxation is one of the things we pay for in order to live in a social reality which allows the greatest number of people to continue producing wealth and to have the greatest amount of freedom. Of course, taxation alone won't produce that. What's required is a fair, dynamic system that balances governmental powers and balances individual rights with the general good and produces a harmonious society that allows for creativity and productiveness. Pure private ownership, as Rand advocates, has several limits and has the potential to produce a virtual slave class. Her mistake is that she reacts against the ideology of communism only to go to the other extreme of pure individualism. But reaction never produces a good result. God and Truth are in the details.
So how did we manage before 1939 before income taxes? Tariffs on foreign goods was enough. Greed perpetuates income taxes. Haven't you noticed the taxes that were to go to school supplies, sports, books, etc. are now an additional burden on top of the parents along with their income taxes? When there is an abundance of tax money at the end of the fiscal year does anyone get a check refund? No, it's quickly wasted on something not necessary when it could be used for something like school supplies! There are so many other examples.
@faithm9284 What country survives solely on tariffs? The problem is not to tax too much and not to waste the revenues. Freedom is a dynamic process. Throwing out the system rather than just constantly tweaking it is nihilism. The US regulates the waterways of the world, which, in turn, allows us to keep producing wealth. Of course, the rest of the world could contribute more. And we could wield our power to better effect. Btw, how do you propose we pay the army, police force, courts, judges, bureaucrats like DMV clerks, road crews, DOT crews, pay for street lights, feed the poor, go to Mars, and fight wars? On tariffs?
Exactly. There are answers to that question, but this is incomplete at best. Also I don't think she understood ultra-wealth, beyond which can be truly earned.
@faithm9284 But I can't believe that the US relied only on tariffs on foreign goods to finance the federal government, including the military. In your scenario, we must have had immense reserves of tariff money by 39 to be able to fund WWII, including defeating Germany and Japan simultaneously and financing the development of the A bomb. Also, we have a lot more international competition now. If we tax China too much, they'll look for other markets. Plus, they can out wait us since they're a totalitarian society which government doesn't care if it sacrifices millions of its citizens in order to starve us out of our bargaining position. Eighty five years later, the world's a far different place now than at the start of WWII.
You're brainwashed. There has not always been income tax. We used to be able to keep all the money we made and there were still wealthy people. Government is TOO big that's why they steal our money.
I guess Ayn Rand walked all the way to the studio that day through unmown meadows.
Weak
@@aubo2116she's the weakest of them all, yes. Her insecurities and trauma-driven responses are so transparent 🥱
What's hilarious is that people really expect a thief to spend the money he steals wisely.
Surely some must.
-ikr ... !-
The thing libertarians prefer to not understand is that money is a socially mediated representative of value, not a sacred value-thing in itself that emerges from some innate grandiose productivity, as Rand's entrepreneurial protagonists pretend to possess. Money is literally "produced", i.e. coined and printed by the state. It can't be privately owned as such, only in its capacity to function as exchange value under certain conditions that are guaranteed by the state. Rand sidesteps this problem by fetishizing gold, as many value essentialists resort to doing. But that just means replacing a later version of the fetish with an earlier one.
Exactly!!
So, anyone with wealth is a thief?
Everybody who is forced to pay taxes should be allowed to vote on where it is spent.
that is a really brilliant idea, let the morons have more power!
I certainly wouldn't choose warfare!
Not a secret agenda/project burried in over 800 pages when voting is in an hr.
Hehehe
I agree 👍
Our government operated for 162 years from 1887 to 1939 without income tax. The tariffs on foreign goods was sufficient. Even then, at the introduction of the then called "Victory Tax" proposed that the taxes taken would be reimbursed after WW2 and only those earnings $5280 or greater were assessed as that was a substantial sum at the time. It was like taxing only people with incomes of close to $200,000 a year. The $5280 gauge was standard until the 1960s and maybe into the 1970s. The greed of our government officials kept the Victory Tax, changed it to "Income Tax," and they have been robbing us ever since!
Sorry, bankers were behind the income tax and it began in 1913, not 1939.
From 1887 to 1932 we had how many roads and how many cars driving on them? Oh not that many , right? 😅 Oh yea, that's why it worked way back then. You want it all but you want it the same as it was 162 years ago? Great plan🙄
Odd because it was in 1973 that PedoPeter became US senator for Delaware.
No, that’s not how it worked. Go to real school. Prager U lies.
Income tax started in 1913 to curb the inequalities wrought by the Robber Barons.

Not one person who pays tax would be complaining whatsoever if money was actually being spent on roads, infrastructure, public services, schools but we know damn well the money doesn’t go to any of those places.
The money is spent on infrastructure and schools, hospitals and such. Your not driving on dirt roads. You clowns think the money goes nowhere, problem is the goverment is taking to much and siphoning the money to things we don't need or want
Moron. If it doesn't go to any of those places, how do you think they get built? Magic?
Then how are they built?
@Cabbagehead25 With the least amount of money. Contracts goes to the cheapest bids and built like 💩 look at all the pot holes for example. Don't worry Ukraine loves your labor.
Yeah and that's not even a liberal or conservative thing either because both sides are guilty of it. Democrat or Republican doesn't matter. Neither party wants to spend the taxes on anything that benefits the public that they extract their taxes from. So I'm not sure how that makes liberals more mad than conservatives. Neither side wants to be heavily taxed with no benefit from it or say so in how the money is spent. Liberals and conservatives agree when it's them being taxed. But when it's everyone else then they have different opinions on who and how much should be taxed. So they both agree on the basic position of "tax anyone you want except me." They both think that way. When it's your taxes they could care less. When it's their taxes it's the end of the world.
Taxation is really only part of the problem. For me, the biggest problems are waste, fraud and abuse, corruption, and social engineering using public money.
our tax money makes all of them possible!
Value for money is what people should demand.
Truth is, the rich take more in subsidies than this "social engineering". However, they want you to look at a food stamp and THINK that's the problem.

68¢ of every welfare dollar goes to the government bureaucracy that collects and distributes the remaining 32¢ to the welfare recipient . Never in the history of the world has a society ever taxed itself into prosperity !

The only people stealing taxes, are the people who don't pay taxes on their billions. Do you drive on the roads? Do you use the hospitals? Do they save you when you have cancer, heart attack or did your wife and daughter get to have their baby's in a nice sterile hospital with pain killers? Do you have 16 toilets in your mansion that you flush and have proper sanitation? Well, if you stand by what this woman says, then those of us who pay for these things by our taxes, then you have no right to use what we pay for, just as she says we have no right to force you to pay. It's not that hard. I pay for groceries before I leave a store. But millionnaires should get to walk out of the grocery stores without paying because we have no right to take your money by force.

But then how will people like Biden get their kick back? I think we need to audit every politician that has become wealthy and find out how they did it.
Actually you might be surprised how much US wealth flows from cheap access to those foreign nations surpressing the people of those countries building up industries and taxing raw matetials used in US goods because of the money the US gives that are pocketed by those corrupt leaders, also most of the US companies now exploit that cheap foreign labour to keep your prices down.

It’s not just about building the roads, hospitals, schools. It’s about people collectively using those services. We need to have a collective source of funds for community to thrive. How could we not? The problem is with their mismanagement.
Seems to me that a system comprised of a *single* institution, authorized, by *FORCE,* to make people fund these services, under threat of having their assets, freedom and possibly their *lives* taken from them is *RIPE* for “mismanagement”.
In fact, one could argue that “mismanagement” is *THE LEAST* of it’s problems. Monetary inflation, social/class/economic/cultural/religious/ethnic/racial/gender/etc vitriol & division, not to mention, an inevitable & uncontrollable increase in global interventionist & imperialist conflict, *INVARIABLY* leading to war and *MASS death* have proven, empirically, countless times to be the results of such systems..

You pay tax, on money that has been taxed multiple times over.
By the time a single coin, or a 1$ bill has swapped 10 hands, it has gone through so much tax that, "technically", that 1$ bill should no longer exist, yet somehow it does.
Yet, when you raise critical points of concern, people either
1. Ignore you.
2. Raise a stupid point.
3. Talk about irrelevant things that have nothing to do with the subject.
Goverment officials DEPEND on these stupid people, because they know that the majority of people are stupid, thus, they supress the smart ones.
So when the minority of smart people is supressed, guess what happens. That's right, they stop trying.
And when the smart people stop trying, the stupid ones see the results of their stupidity when sh*t hits the fan, and then, and ONLY then do they go "Oh... the smart ones were right all along". But by the time they come to that conclusion, it is to f*ck*ng late.

ONE THING that NEEDS to be WRITTEN into TAX LAWS is that the money taken will be spent on the PEOPLE WHO PRODUCED IT and NOT be SPENT in ways that HARM ANYONE.
That's a cool idea, but how do you choose which people deserve the money and which don't? And what could you choose when what's the best for one group is bad for another? And who would be in charge of making those decisions? And would this person require vetting in some way to avoid favoritism and if so what qualifiers would be used to appoint them and who would get to decide those qualifiers and..... (endless loop)

@@henrychurch6062 What l meant was the money should never leave the country, i.e., billions for other countries' wars, or promoting gender studies in different countries (propaganda). In other words Americans should not be told they have to wait longer, or they may never get pensions in the future, while the President promises Ukrainians pensions. That is the AMERICAN PEOPLE'S money and should be SPENT on IMPROVING the LIVES of AMERICANS. Before a President is sworn in he should have to complete a checklist of tasks he will fulfill and not being wasteful with the people's money should be at the top of the list. If he fails in these basic tasks he should be recalled.
@@heidibee501 I think gender studies is a vastly misunderstood field. For example: How do we advertise this Gillette razor to men, and what color can we change it to so we can get women to also buy it at a higher price? How does the army craft recruitment pitches to attract female soldiers? What kinds of images make men want to smoke your brand of cigarettes? If you remember the early 90's girls had Polly Pocket, and following it's success boys had the almost identical but far more masculine Mighty Max. All examples of gender studies in action: It's not voodoo, it's just a natural extension of capitalism. Does it have some funny and weird applications too? Of course, but most of it is very based in reality.
But further - how do you choose what is in the best interests of Americans? The Americans themselves are very different people with very different goals. Should we build a library or a sports center? A food pantry, a block of low income housing or a homeless shelter? Is this wetland that prevents floods worth draining for a highway that saves millions in travel costs? Would this savings be of any comfort to the people who's homes are now in a flood plain? Should schools teach science? is science too dangerous? Should a minority demanding creationism taught instead of evolution be approved? What if they want to teach Hinduism or Shinto creationism?
And even further - How would you choose which goals a president meets or doesn't meet? And which lives of which Americans get to be improved and which don't? Andrew Jackson improved lots of lives pushing west, but also authored the trail of tears genocide for example.
Also our country is our country because of foreign aid. We defeated England in the revolutionary war with an army bankrolled by the French and the Dutch, and with the support of soldiers from France and Spain sent to die in a foreign war halfway across the world.
We only captured and defeated General Cornwallace because the French Navy prevented him from evacuating Yorktown and gathering reinforcements.
@@henrychurch6062 easy, if the money is not spent for an American 🇺🇸 citizen, then it is illegal. That would solve all of our problems.

You are not making sense. Do you know what capitalism is?
It is private control of business.
You are saying that taxes are robbery then proceed to say we need to tax businesses.
You want to control business through government but don't want government in control. That's just weird. We could just flatten taxes and only ask for them in one place, like at point of sale only. This way you free up money in the economy and you force government to reduce its size and scope down to actual necessities. Letting the people control how they want their money spent.
Well, the way this can corrected, reversed or changed is citizens VOTING for better governance and less spending. But so many people don't care and just let it go - and the government power grows and cannot stop becoming more possessive of our lives and hard=earned property and income. I always vote even though it doesn't seem to matter, and I keep hoping enough of my compatriots vote for true Conservatives to stop the nonsense. But alas....

The human condition is a fragile one, so at one point in your life, you will need to go to the hospital. User payment is all good because you only pay when you need it, except for the fact that in this case, the prices are so high that it will bankrupt you and you won't have a home to return to. Because who ever thinks they will need it and saves up money for it! Do you, dingus?

There's a special kind of person that thinks Rand makes sense... yet they can't deny that she died on the dole and how miserable we all would be if her excruciatingly long, overtly simple-minded tomes were "madness in motion"... reading any of her books, are like reading an 800-page first grade reading primer, that gently caresses you with the idea of donating your liver today! And those of weak minds will keep reading and be seized with the urgent desire to DO SO. And the saddest thing is... She grew up in a place where THERE WERE NO CHECKS AND BALANCES. But curiously the people that are most in favor of her policies AND political beliefs, are those who want to do away with checks and balances entirely. The Republican party has become so radicalized that we would be living in an annex of Russia within the year if it was up to them. Sure they are into smaller government. A small but extremely potent kabal of people who will control you and will not listen to you. Thank fate our forefathers predicted all of this madness... The apologists for the kings and queens... The boot lickers... And those in power... Amazingly, they saw this far ahead. But Rand was no ideologue. She was the equivalent of the most malevolent vision of Doctor Seuss for only the most impressionable of liver donors. Lol

These videos get attention not because of the rarity of the event itself, but the rarity of the people who step up to help.

So if I don’t want to pay for roads, hospitals or schools I don't have to? Great. How can a society function?
As a former gov employee, i can shock you by stories of how they use the money. Its like monopoly money. They write themselves in for overtime while not even doing the overtime, they sold practically brand new equipment and split the money. I could go on and on. All true .
The military is the worst about wasting your tax dollars. During the 80’s they would literally shove helicopters off the decks of carriers along with tools because at the end of the year. October rolls around everyone was clamoring for more money and had to show a need. I was a dental assistant and we literally threw instruments and supplies out in order to get more money and purchase new equipment. So wasteful.

We just had a voting session in our local town for a pickleball court. It was going to cost over 1.5 million and of course would come out of taxpayers pockets. Half the town tried to guilt trip others into paying, while the other half stood their ground and voted against it. It was not approved. Moral of the story: people should be able to pick and choose where they want their taxes to go. Not forced.
Also taxation is theft but you know it's never going anywhere

Ayn Rand… progressive don’t hate for her ideas they hate her for being a hypocrite to them.
You mean hypocrite that swore she would never use social services and did when reality set in. But she paid into it… she used more than she paid into it… which is just the reality of a system forced to be expensive to exist because of those that have no problem accepting the benefits and rewards of a shared society bit suddenly cry theft as good Christian’s when they share the expense or cost of a shared society.
Finally, Rand relented. “Whether she agreed or not is not the issue,” said Pryor, “She saw the necessity for both her and [her husband] Frank.” Or as Weiss puts it, “Reality had intruded upon her ideological pipedreams.” That’s one way of interpreting the contradiction: that Rand’s philosophy, Objectivism, “has no practical purpose except to promote the economic interests of the people bankrolling it”-the sole function of her thought is to justify wealth, explain away poverty, and normalize the sort of Hobbesian war of all against all Rand saw as a societal ideal.
Calling yourself a patriotic American and not paying your taxes is the same as a parent saying," We love our kids but we don't want to feed them". Her accent alone is a clue to how American she is ( or was).

Corporations paid Taxes, but have been working on shifting the burden of Tax to the Workers making Labor tax the primary source whereas Labor Tax was previously seen as Slavery and Abhorrent.
Corporations pay tax (tribute) because they have entered into an agreement with the Government, previously the Crown, to annex X natural resource in return for Z.
The thing I dont understand is how the American People fought a War with England so the English Crown didnt Tax the Trading Companies operating out of the 13 Colonies they were bequeathed. The Trading Companies literally convinced the average man to get up and fight a War that had nothing to do with them and would actually be fighting for their own enslavement to those Trading Companies

So saying that she’s lived on assistance at the end doesn’t mean anything. She said we shouldn’t be FORCED to give especially to causes that we do not agree to. It’s theft.
The problem with taxes begins and ends when the US literally went broke in 1913 and had to start borrowing money..(in perpetuity (forever)) from a PRIVATELY OWNED BANK that cleverly took the name "federal " reserve to give the impression that it's part of the government but it's no more federal than federal express.. You pay taxes to the federal reserve to pay back the money the government wastes on whatever it chooses.

@@4everseekingwisdom690: Get your history right: That's not what it was.
The Federal Reserve Act and the 16th Amendment came about in the dead of night on 24 December 1913, because of barely a quorum of Congress to do business, who, had Congress been in session normally, would have been in a minority. They also knew that in 1895, less than 20 years' prior, an 1894 attempt at implementing an income tax was struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional.
Between 1913 and 1926, there were no less than 8 cases heard by SCOTUS. In them, there were two main points raised:
1) Where "income" is defined as a matter of law, "income" means "profits and gains." Further, "wages as compensation" IS NOT defined as "income."
2) The 16th Amendment granted no new taxing power or authority to Congress, as a matter of constitutional law.
Additionally, the country did not go broke until 1926, when the President at that time, because of common people buying stock on margin, had issues stabilizing the economy. In a meeting with J. P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and others, those men of money made a proposal to the President: Give them the ability to control the stock market, in exchange for them using their personal fortunes to fund the market. The President agreed to these terms in 1926. However, those men, when they realized that the market was going to crash, pulled out their own money, causing a domino effect that crashed the economy in 1929, and began the Great Depression.

If you die and give will it others they will be taxed again.
You’re confusing withholding with taxation. When you get paid from your job your employer withholds an amount for taxes. When you file your tax return, you determine how much tax you owe and compare that to the amount withheld over the year. If your employer withheld too much, you get a refund. Too little, you pay the difference.
@@GenXDaddyO thanks, for clarification. Taxes on the middle class and struggling class is too much. The wealthy should contribute more and not have rules to avoid paying more

They also need to tax the rich at the same percentage% that they tax the rest of us. Then we’d have money to pay for everything. But nope the rich get tax write offs & loopholes. Thanks to the Republicans that pass things to help the rich & the corporations. Not anything to help the actual people. Trickle down economics doesn’t work.
Ayn Rend rocks. She was before her time and shines light on the stupidity of progressives.
She actually wasn't before her time. You can read these same sentiments decades earlier on the Federalist and Anti-Federalist Papers
@@user-ld9tf4td8syou should mention who wrote those.
@@user-ld9tf4td8s
She also lived through the tyranny of the Bolshevik Revolution.
I read all her books in the 1980s! Couldn't get get enough!
😂😂HAHAHA. Just WISHFUL thinking and NONSENSE.
"The problem with socialism is that it works until you run out of other people's money."
- Margaret Thatcher.
I was told that at one time, everyone paid only 10% of their income in taxes. The rich stop wanting to pay their 10%.
She “knew” because she was paying attention and didn’t have her head up her butt. She’s my all-time #1 mentor.
So sorry about that..
Hope you've never used the roads, went to school or hospital, called 911 or experienced a fire....
Etc.
Did you know she was inspired by progressive journalist HL Mencken?
@@ula6222 what she's saying is that the govt shouldn't force a person how to spend his money
@@ula6222roads, schools, and hospitals existed long before the federal income tax. Federal income tax was promised to be temporary until the war was over.
@@HedriksI get that and I agree but the problem is, how do we do it then? Because you’re underestimating how a LOT of people will end up not contributing to the building of society. We’ll end up living in an extremely selfish, enclosed and singular society even more so than we are right now. You’re overestimating people’s kindness, generosity & understanding along with willingness to give up some money for the benefit of all of society.
Taxation isn't the problem. It's the fact the government wastes it.
Its both
She knew all this because she understood Marxism and Communism. She could see the patterns. She knew what TRUE capitalism was!
Nobody is producing wealth out of their ass. They all use the common infrastructure and educationsystem. What she is describing is the complete bs of privatizing income and communitization of expenses.
What the younger have forgotten is we had roads, schools, police, all the things BEFORE we had taxes!!!!!
Where and when?
@@nonameslb check your history, we had no income taxbeoreWWI IT WAS SUPPOSED to pay for the war then sunset, plus it was never properly ratified. Bit thieving poloticians saw it as a cash cow and did
Don't let it sunset
@@independentthinker8930 I'm not American, that's why I'm asking.
@@nonameslb our govt is SUPPOSED to support itself with excise tax and import duties
Indeed, the majority of the people back then had neither money nor any land or such, not even any freedom to earn something. Some robbers (called themselves the nobility or clerus) had it all. No schools, no hospitals for the slaves, roads and such were for the military and some business for some (who, btw., had to pay at a lot of corners, bridges and gates 😘).
The same lady 3 years after this interview demanded to be treated in hospital for no money . Socialism for chosen, capitalism for the people 😅😅😅
So you're saying socialism is immoral and stupid.
Post proof that she ever said that a taxpayer has no moral right to the stolen fruits of their labour, you fool.
She lived her later life ons subsidised medicare and pension 🤣@inspectremagna
The message still stands even if she didn't live by it.
Atlas coughed
@@andrewvcraig3575 it sure is getting easier and easier to find the fascists these days. lol
The government should only tax those who have benefited the most from the hard work of the American people.
No one over the age of 14 takes Rand seriously.
In 1968 I was in sixth grade and watched these programs all the time, PBS - programs as such were on TV all the time, on Sundays, week-day nights... My generation knows these things. Today's generation doesn't want to know. It's out there and the shame is that these programs are uploads on RUclips and nobody cares about watching them to get a clue.
We saw these programs in the 50s through the 80s because there was such a limit on what there was to watch. I always watched news programming and documentaries with my parents because we had one TV and they were in charge of it, plus there were only 4 or 5 channels.
Your PBS is vastly different to today's PBS...
Funny, I too was in sixth grade in 68, and didn't go woke. I've listened to PBS for decades, to hear what the left wanted to say. We do "know things" oddly enough.
@@user-iy6de7qi1r, did you know then about the right - left paradigm?
@@sizzlinbacon21able ....and not in a good way.
This assumes that government is meant to govern, not RULE the people.
That is why we use the term government, not monarchy. Government is elected and is obliged to act on our behalf for our collective interests.
Reality doesn't match theory due to endemic corruption in the system.
Theory is anyone born in USA can be president. Reality is anyone with enough money and the right connections can be put forward as a candidate.
manage the country on behalf of their employers,the people
When has this ever been the case?
Oh, you mean the GOP then in terms of RULE? The ones that cannot govern!
When you take money by force from someone such as insurance companies and the government it's called extortion and that's exactly what the government is doing to the 99% of us middle-class people who keep them wealthy😅
