Part 2: YouTube - Stossel Show - The Battle for the Future! (Part 2/6)

If you don't feel like watching the whole thing at least check out the last segment with Gov Gary Johnson. He proves himself as a great example of a politician who supports a small government and also has the record to prove it.

Great video, thanks!

I like how I can watch a programme like this and know that my own country is going through the exact same problems. I just wish we had quality programmes like this in Britain. In the UK, it seems we just get the BBC telling us how evil it is to cut government spending and how the unions are the best thing in the world etc etc.

I don't believe we can turn the country around by just electing "better people" to run the show. In fact, that may just prolong things, as inevitably, the bad people in society are attracted to positions of power- and will always seek out government power positions, while the good people stay in the private sector. The majority of people think programs like giving government money to grandparents or forcing pet shops to exercise their animals are GOOD. If we can change that mentality, we don't need government at all.

Anarchy is not any better than rule of law. The problem we have is who controls the money. The fiat money and fractional reserve banking cartel is the enemy we have to defeat, not government.

How are you going to keep bad people that would simply create another income tax and federal reserve to control us, away from these governmental positions of power? We tried writing things on a piece of paper to prevent this kind of tyranny and clearly that hasn't worked. What's your answer to this problem that minarchists can never seem to solve?

Any word on if this will be re-airing anytime soon on FOX or FBN? I'd rather watch it on my TV then on my computer...

Who said anarchy was the absence of law? All the Voluntaryists/An-Caps I know fully support rule of law -- voluntary and consensually agreed upon law (E.g. Explicitly Contractual).

Good point AED, but I assumed he meant state involuntary law.
