This video proves one thing. Check out one of the highly rated comments:
YouTube has purposely screwed up the "Closed Caption" text on this video. That way all those who are hearing impaired or don't speak English (around the world), won't understand this video at all! It's insidious what YouTube (owned by Google) is doing to America!
While it's hilarious that the original poster doesn't realise that ALL Closed Captions don't work properly, the fact that it's been thumbed up so many times gives everyone the impression that it's nothing but conspiracy theorists that take this video seriously.

No (sane) person believes it's the intent of Government to destroy the economy and our civil liberties. Rather, there is always unitended consequences from either well-meaning activist legislation (in regards to environmental, welfare, taxation), pork (subsidies, defense contracts), or just plain-old corruption. It's the aggregate of decades of unintended consequences that have got us in the situation that we are in today.

There is one major difference with both sides in my country. The left wing implements good sounding ideas, and does get things wrong occasionally. The right-wing do not have the balls to make changes, only make cuts (I call them the Jenga players, since they pull pieces away and hope the whole pile doesn't tumble). Either way, it seems like each party's turn to power only make things worse.

There is a belief pitched by those who only speak of cuts, that if you cut, then somehow, there will be Jenga pieces that will materialize in an alternative structure and we will be fine. You see, markets in and of themselves magically take care of every issue, if left alone. A market is like a genie in that you can get anything you want from it, just let it alone.
