As a republican this sounds like a poison to me.

Listened to 2 minutes of it. Will listen to the rest of it tomorrow. But so far, there's not a whole lot of agreement between his speech with me.
The greed, recklessness, and illegal activities of the people on Wall St. is a broad description of the culprits of those who triggered it. Believe it or not, there exists "Wall Street people" who have contributed towards the good part of the US economy, and economic growth in general. For example, just watch any episode of Shark Tank and you'll see the importance of rich people, or "Wall Street people." But for any occupation out there, you'll always find rotten apples sitting in the crowd, and those are the ones who are commonly-agreed to have been the ones to trigger the recession.
It's good that they get recognition for the blame, but to concentrate all blame on those guys is a bit of a problem. While the rotten white collars deserve blame for starting it, the blame list becomes wider when we also consider those who further the recession.
I'm going to criticize the part where he said teachers are not to blame, because I think there are teachers who are to blame. The whole point of a school is to raise the next generations into future productive members of society. Economically, these future society members are supposed to be able to make better GDP contributions efficiently, given their limited work hours. Remember that there are only 24 hours in a day. Nobody can work more than that per day, and not to mention the sleep hours. That's what the education system is supposed to do. It's not supposed to be an arena for the youth to stab each other in.
Of course, this problem can be traced towards its origin through cultural observations. I'm talking about the aggressive attitude that seems to more popular in the US than in Canada. It's all about being tough, while academics are valued less by the youth. One of these causes is the ironic movement that is said to support racial equality and to eliminate racial discrimination. Just economically speaking, it's very ironic. You claim to support racial equality in the social sense. So obviously, it would be just very taboo to restrict a subgenre of hip hop music that is very commonly associated with the black community. Black rappers, facilitated by record companies, utilize the freedoms exaggerated by the ironic anti-racism movement to immunize the youth from the educational purposes of school. That sets them up in the future for failure in the economic sense, and brings more negative attention to the black community.
What, you didn't know the effect of music? Consider how 92% of all pop songs are about sex. Decades ago, promiscuity is more of a taboo than it is today. Aldous Huxley even wrote Brave New World with shock value at the time it was freshly published. Today, it's something that we don't see as a big deal. Some might even say, "I'm okay with this."
And just a reminder on how this is even relevant, what happens when kids graduate from school after unproductive years of barely learning anything? They don't become productive members of society. Maybe some, but not everyone is an autodidact. Not everyone even cares to learn anything. So school releases a batch of unproductive members into society, and you don't get as much GDP contributions from them. They collect unemployment entitlements and live on it at the expense of worsening the massive US deficit problem.

This is not a case of "solving government with more government;" I'm not seeing how, "we should regulate shit so as not to create a fucking kleptocracy," is a bad thing, or a thing that makes him an ass. Free market is awesome. Anarchic market is not. Why do people vote against their own interests so easily?
07-10-2012, 12:49 PM
he's not looking to solve problems. if he actually wanted to solve problems, he would push to remove incorporation, as a damn good start. an actual free market is anarchic. hong kong has one of the freest markets in the world, but they're still under state control and have a form of state capitalism that fucks everything up.
regulating shit creates a kleptocracy because the only people who are capable of getting around regulations, as they always fucking do, are the wealthiest people. regulations don't solve problems; they give the illusion of solving problems. it's like saying democracy is the path to freedom when the only thing democracy is able to provide is the illusion of choice and an amazing way to divide and reign over people.
