Thank you all so much for all of the votes! It still says 5 votes; I believe it's frozen, so hopefully it will jump up soon.

Ok, watched the video, and apparently she doesnt really understand economics and how taxation works. Seems to be just another pretty face looking for her 15 mins of fame.
Hopefully she actually reads this, does a little research and gets a better understanding of how things work.
The money the government has to spend is our money, generated through taxes. (please dont go off on the Fed Reserve printing press thing, Im trying to explain how things actually are supposed to work) As such, there should never ever under any circumstances be a "surplus" of money sitting in the governments piggy bank.
During the Clinton administration, we had a surplus, and so many seemed to think that was a good thing, when it was not. In order for there to be a surplus in tax revenue like that, you would need to over tax the people to get the surplus. If there is a surplus, that means there are more taxes coming in, then are being spent. If that is the case, then the tax rates should be lowered, to bring what is coming in, in line with what is being spent. So basically, during the Clinton years, the American people were all being gang raped by the government, as if we were all his own little Monica Lewinsky ATM's.
When Bush was elected to office, he saw that there was a huge surplus, and realized it was not right for the government to have our money like that. He did one of the very few things I applaud him for, and returned the money to the people in the form of $300 checks from the IRS. As the last of those checks were rolling out, the twin towers were struck on 9/11, sending the stock market and economy into a freefall. The on hand money in the government went from being a surplus, to being almost zero (balanced) where it should be, when 9/11 happened.
Bush then took us to war, the printing presses got cranked up, and the rest is history.
So, bottom line is, we do not want a surplus, but a balanced budget and deficit. If you wish to re-do the video and correct your oversight, I may consider voting for it. As it stands, it contradicts that which Ron Paul, and other Austrian economic minded people believe.

"she" is the person that started the thread. And a regular poster here. If there was a surplus they could pay down the $38k each of us now owe to china and eliminate the huge interest payments and at some point abolish the IRS instead of giving us a $300 check. Just sayin.
Love the question, I voted.
EDIT:
And I'm not sure what you mean about the whole over-tax thing (could you clarify?), but I'm pretty sure alexa was talking about paying off the National Debt.

By "she" you mean alexaforronpaul, right?
