great stuff there! Go Stossel!

[SelfTaught]

Subscribe to therightscoop on Youtube and you will get every Stossel episode, every week. Has not failed me once. DO IT!!!

When it comes to economic freedom, there is probably no better show than Stossel (that actually gets televised, Freedom Watch doesn't count).

Booyah!

[morran]

Awesome. Bump for Stossel.

That sure was an eye opener.

Just now I heard on FOX that after meeting with Union reps. Obama will not force union members to pay the cadillac tax on their health insurance until 2018.

So now, those excluded from the cadillac tax are federal government employees and union members. Obama is not a socialist at all.. he's an imperialist. Those that can truly afford the extra tax will be excluded. The peasants will have to pay it or go to jail.

This is VERY good. Sending to a bunch of people...

Thanks for posting it. :)

Just finished watching the show: Stossel is the man.

Part 5 when Stossel makes Michael Moore look naive in a mere 30 seconds is an instant classic...

Wouldn't chrony capitalism be fascism?

[Toureg89]

lol at the first vid saying the government-run liquor stores are losing $ even after they got rid of the competition.

if you cant make money selling one of the most enduring addicting substances in human history, how the hell are they gonna not rely on the public purse when they go to "reform" health care.

Wouldn't chrony capitalism be fascism?

"Fascism should rightly be called Corporatism, as it is the merger of corporate and government power" - Benito Mussolini

Oh, and this is probably the most simplest explanation I have seen of crony capitalism vs free-market capitalism. John Stossel hits it out of the park.

Wouldn't chrony capitalism be fascism?
Yes, but when debating the outside world, unfortunately it is more effective not to use the most accurate terminology because fascism is permanently associated with Nazi fascism with its racist overtones.

If you insist on using fascism, I find it best to inform them that you are using this definition (http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/Fascism.html).

Yes, and that is a Fascist Wanna Be depicted in stone sitting between them.
