2024-02-14 at 4:02 AM UTCoverarching point about corruption and grift is solid, but the implication that prosperity comes from government assistance and the very questionable data on taxation and service costs/issues in other countries is not
just seems like a rehash of the socialist (and I'm not using that as an insult) OWS ideas of redistributing wealth from 'the corporations' as being panacea, and that everything will be great if everyone gets their 'fair share' regardless of whether they work for it or not. -

i didnt watch the video for more than a few minutes but does it address the militarily camoflaged elephant in the room ?
great savings could be had if the US simply just cut funding of its military spending by say, 80%. -

no it mostly just complains that the private healthcare system and government are grift machines without discussing where that money goes, and throws out the statistic that US taxpayers lose 43% of their income to taxes, while the English lose 26% and Canadians lose 11% (lol?) -

I thought he meant OP
in the cop video he'd just finished arresting someone and put them in the cruiser, then as he was walking to the driver's side an acorn fell on it, he thought it was gunfire, commando rolled down the street and magdumped his own vehicle -

due to the military and its 800+ bases around the world. thats why "americans" had to pay more.
also their healthcare industry is working glove in hand with the insurance industrial complex because hospitals cant directly and ethically charge patients exorbitant fees for services rendered, and so they have the insurance companies as some sort of medium to extract money from the public because insurance companies arent bound by ethics or hypocratic oaths n sheit. -
