Fifty-three minutes and fifty-eights seconds of pure propaganda. Why do you post this crap?

[LBM]

I didn't watch this but lets see if I can guess what the gist of it was which can probably be found in the postings of EB and LT.

It probably suggests some of the following:

These evil rich bastids got rich by taking money from all the poor.
The poor are poor all because of the evil rich.
There wouldn't be any poor if it weren't for all the rich.
The way to achieve the progressive's loony egalitarian utopia can be realized if only the rich can be relieved of their own wealth and give it to someone else.
The disparity and gap between rich and poor can be eliminated if only the omniscient progressives were in total control.
Capitalism and free markets of are causes of this wealth disparity and needs to be abolished if we are all to live in this glorious utopia.
It's all because of profits and LT can tell us all just how much profits anyone should make and not exceed.
The pie is just a given of a certain size and the rich just have more than their fair share and they hold the idea that free market activities don't increase the size of the pie.
They hold that wealth isn't something produced by individuals but something that can be fairly and equitably distributed by the progressive loons.
Amazingly that list just goes on and on repeating those always failed loony ideas that have been tried in the past with out any noticeable success.
And this list of failed loonyness will continue and can be seen in the future postings from EB, LT and the puzzled lady. What a stunning confidence they display that this time it all can work out with out any noticeable success from past efforts in this vain.
On and on and on and on and on they go.
Now since I didn't actually waste my time watching this video please tell me where I went wrong in my take on this and how I've completely missed the gist of this video.

Couldn't agree more. I dont know why they don't move to Russia and give that life a whirl for awhile.

Hey you seem to forget you are the ones that lost- you move. You are always quick to suggest that someone else move! How about trying it yourselves. Believe me we won't miss you.

First of all, roughly half the country hasn't completely lost their minds, so I'm staying. Second, you would miss us. Read Atlas Shrugged for the details.

Better yet as evidenced from what EB posts on here he probably doesn't have the required attention span to read Atlas Shrugged and comprehend, at any significant level, the weighty issues she brings up in her book. For a quick and time saving glance about some of Ayn Rand's ideas here is a video of a presentation given 11/12/12 to some folks in Lafayette, CO.

You are free to worship at the feet of Ayn Ryad, and Mitt Romney, you can insist the word or even concept of "Greed" cannot concievably be grasp by their innocent and selfless purely angellic ability to almost magically making other people`s money and retirements and careers fall into the possesion of their saintly and supremely ultra human investors but only because their financially devoted and disiplined moral supremacy is SO gleamingly irredesant as to BLIND the "unbelievers" into just abandoning ALL possible profits to the RIGHTOUS and JUST disposal of the GODS of WALL STREET ! ALL bow LOW to the super human CEOs ! HEIL Ayn Ryad ! No thought but HIS can possibly the TRUE "religion" ! No thank you...
