Also, thanks for your continued support on here.

Hubert Horatio Humphrey!
Definitely, i think thats why Bernie got a lot of love from both dem's indpendents and conservatives.

Aren't Libertarians basically socially left-wing and fiscally right-wing? Then again, the meaning of left and right changes over time...
Mr. Beat

Mr. Beat
Yeah, my view is that the Republican Party is far more in line with libertarianism these days than the Democratic Party, although there are libertarian strains in both.
Daniel Kolbin
Carlin used some exaggeration and satire to make his point, but there is still a serious message behind his words -- just not literally word for word I think.
Daniel Kolbin
If Mr. Beat disappears, we'll know why it happened 👀

Is that alternative to send millions or trillions?
Devin Canada
Great video i do love knowing that in the modern day a hatred of corporations is a unifying factor.
Devin Canada
John Stossel is libertarian and would be considered left leaning back when Bush was president. im not sure if libertarianism should be considered leaning right unless you think that the influence of libertarianism is so ingrained into the Republican party that it is the new right since the teaparty movement.

I don't believe that corporations can be separated from the people who run it. their actions, values, beliefs, and motives go into corporation

(In case you didn’t pick up on this, my two comments were part of the same Carlin bit) I am just sick of the whole “pull yourselves up by your boot straps” attitude some in our country profess. While hard work, talent and smarts are certainly instrumental in one’s success, you also need breaks along the way be it contacts, money or resources to quote on quote “make it”

Isn’t that the truth!

Reynoldsburg OH, by Columbus, near my brother - a retired fireman. Same phone number. Text if you ever nearby!
Mr. Beat
Woah! Whereabouts in Ohio?
Mr. Beat
A tale as old as time, and what makes the United States so great, though. Historically we have been one of the first places to break through that trend. Unfortunately social mobility is getting more difficult these days.
Mr. Beat
Those in power want you "just smart enough" :)
Daniel Kolbin
Go get 'em, Mr. Beat 🔥

You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own, and control the corporations. They've long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.”

George Carlin said it best. “Governments don't want a population capable of critical thinking, they want obedient workers, people just smart enough to run the machines and just dumb enough to passively accept their situation.”

Do you have any thoughts about the Billions being sent to Ukraine or is that too hot a topic? Video on endless wars?
Gael Guerard
BTW I am moving to Ohio next month. Glad I can take you with me via YouTube!
Mr. Beat
Awesome! I'm so glad you are cool with how it turned out. Thanks again!
Mr. Beat
I think just about all of us are those voters. :) Thanks for the kind words.
Mr. Beat
It is crazy, indeed.
Joe Cook
Loved it! 🔥🔥🔥 It’s great to support your work and see the creative ways that you take legitimate social, economic, and political issues and tell them in an entertaining way. Bravo, my friend!!
Gael Guerard
Excellent video Matt! Since when did the government care if the population was for or against something? The system does seem to be rigged. I think you are right. Because I'm one of those voters against corporate welfare. That you mention at the end.
Gael Guerard
That's crazy! Huge companies like Apple and Disney get subsidies?!!!
