Most of you have probably seen the Adobe Flash video entitled, "The Philosophy of Liberty". If you haven't, just Google it and it comes right up. The video is a very effective introduction to the fundamentals of liberty that can be easily grasped by those previously unexposed to its ideals.
When recruiting new Ron Paul supporters, oftentimes I find myself having to explain the role of the Federal Reserve in our economy and thus our society. I also end up talking about Fractional Reserve Banking quite a lot. People tend to kind of comprehend it, but I'm having a hard time having the message hit home. I think that it's hard for individuals to legitimately care about it unless they see very plainly how the Fed is royally fucking them in their own personal finances.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a video similar to "The Philosophy of Liberty" that can introduce newbies to exactly how the Fed is personally screwing them. Something that is 10-20 minutes long and very easily comprehended. I'm thinking along the lines of stick figures or a play with fake storefronts labeled "Bank" or "Fed" above them. The idea is to have a stranger watch it and immediately walk away with a sense of anger... which is exactly what I experienced when I researched Paul's claims the first time I heard him speak.
"All I know is that first you've got to get mad! You've got to say, I'm a HUMAN BEING, God damnit! My life has VALUE!"
Does such a video exist already or am I going to the drawing boards?
