Finally, someone came at least close to figuring out the video's point.

Everybody understands the video is poking fun at the "hypocrisy" of the "liberals" who complain about capitalism while benefitting from the progress, the technological achievements and the wealth that it has given them.  

Just because someone disagrees with the conclusions of the videos, doesn't mean they don't understand that it's trying to make that point.

People seem to also ignore the ending of the cartoon. Where the character complained about how we should have the government more involved in everything just as we do now with Education and Health care. The most expensive services in America that a lot of time are inadequate, to say the least.

Other countries have more government involvement with healthcare for one, with far better results and at far lower cost. 

Government involvement isn't inherently good or inherently bad, it's up to the policies that the government sets up. 

Not true, only certain aspects are better. For example, Canadians have a longer wait time and way higher taxes. Not to mention the cost for basic commodities in Canada is a lot more expensive than America's products. This is all thanks to government interference. When the U.S. government got out of certain health care aspects such as lasik eye surgery the cost went way down.
