  2. @DJbruehl Yes sir. And the constitution also gives its citizens the right to protest those taxes. God bless America.

  3. @brianphuffman I agree people crying, "US, the next Soviet Union" are getting carried away. BUT. The public school system in America is a joke. Policemen and fire departments are meant to keep the people safe from crime and fires, I don't think this vid is arguing against that. As for cheap mail. HA! As an eBay powerseller I move more boxes than you can imagine, I can tell you, the private sector (UPS/Fedex) is the best value. So privatized mail + brining in competition = thumbs up .

  28. @Richierua You seem to be confusing socialism for capitalism. Socialism is the idea that a government can have a large role in the life of its citizens (eventually subjects). It can't without infringing on the rights of the individual. Capitalism is the idea that every person can make their own way in the world, regardless of class, race, or creed without the goverment's help.

  29. Love this video... This guy's really funny

  30. @brianphuffman Wow...talk about inane comment. The problem is you don't remember the Cold War, which is something that Tim Hawkins grew up in. I know people who grew up in communist block countries and live in the US now are saying that the current regime (and that is the appropriate word) is how the communists took control in their own countries. You need to learn a bit of history...correct history, not the revisionist leftist stuff taught in public schools.

  31. @brianphuffman Incidentally, this video is because Tim loves the America he grew up in, with a strong economic system and a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Not this current babysitter society we live in that tells us how to poop for our own good. It's called personal responsibility and accountability.

  32. subjects? That is a gross (possibly intentional) lie. Socialisim does not do that. Communisim does. Capitalisim is for free trade and the right to private property. Capitalisim is not demoocracy (although the 2 are mutually exclusive). Every person having their own way is democracy. Socialisim is the idea that all the people take care of all the people- food kitchens, cheap healthcare, cheap schools ect. The governement watches over it as a sheperd like figure. They cannot take freedom because

  33. in socialist countries there are usually so many political parties that no one could seize power. Socialist nations-sweden, ireland, france are all among the best places to live in. The EU ( a socialist style union) has a bigger economy than china, russia or the US.

  37. Good message. Governments only job is to protect the people militarily and secure property rights.

  38. Yes, and possibly make sure that we have the circumstances to be enabled to thrive economically. In other words, don't make things bad economically. Just making sure re have full and free markets. Time to give back the powers to the states and more closely to "We the {ep[;e" until we are satisfied that the tyrants aren't in power.

  39. This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever listened to lately. OMG! I love this guy's comedy. Where does he come from?

  40. @klaboomin I agree, but let's make the best out of it! Let's try to be a little happy!

  41. I love how this guy is railing on the government's ability to raise taxes, yet the Constitution gives Congress the right to do so. Oh wait, conservatives only follow the Constitution when it fits their agenda.

  42. Wow! Free College, sign me up! Tim hit it right on the head, " mix it up with lies and make it all taste good" While they're stuffing it down your throat!

  43. I don't understand what this guy is saying. He thinks we shouldn't have government or taxes? The size of our government is already insanely small; it controls less than 2% of all of our assets. Also, what's so wrong with the socialism in this country? I'm pretty happy that we have free public schools, policemen, fire departments and cheap mail. Ya'll need to take a breath and settle down. We're a far, far cry from The Soviet Union.
