What you see as greed I see as motivation, goals, and knowing my worth of the standard of living I wish to live. stop complaining about what you haven’t earned, but I guess when people don’t have real problems they make up them up.
@TOAOM123 businesses have to have a market if they make money it’s because people are voluntarily buying the product or service. Expanding and reinvesting Is how jobs are made it’s spreading wealth all right, but you don’t see it that way because it’s not a handout. Overreaching Gooberment is the problem that’s how you end up with crony capitalism. You have too learn to fish for yourself, instead of getting mad at someone who catches a lot of fish and won’t share with you.
@@dval4441 So what's the solution? Do you think the people consent to their government? Because they don't, ever since Lincoln. He didn't free slaves, he made just made EVERYONE slaves and said they're free.
@Russ Ingram So once you work for wages you never can leave that job for another or to work for yourself. That's BS and I know because both my father and I moved from job to job and finally to working for ourselves. That's a lot different than slavery where one can only be sold from one master to another.
So what's the solution? Do you think the people consent to their government? Because they don't, ever since Lincoln. He didn't free slaves, he made just made EVERYONE slaves and said they're free. We NEED to SECEDE.

I love how the American company flew you to their H.Q. in a jet (Dassault Falcon) manufactured (with engines) in France! So much for ‘But American’! Thanks for another entertaining video.
John Stossel videos. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, ALL OF THEM! Thank you for making these! Without this series, I would have only a fraction of an idea of JUST HOW DISGUSTING OUR GOVERNMENT HAS BECOME! OH MY WORD! We have been blind!
Great, so what's the solution? It's like saying "THE SHIP IS SINKING!" You need LIFEBOATS, which we don't have, ever since the federal government nixed SECESSION.
I agree corporate welfare needs to stop. Even the alternative energy it should spend this "support" they get on research to lower the cost of alternative energy so that alternative energy reaches a point where it is cost competitive with the fossil fuel market and not dependent on government support. Once that happens, we remove the alternative energy subsidies and succeed in reducing our dependence on fossil fuels in the process.
hbarudi: "corporate welfare needs to stop." HOW? They control the government by funding puppet-candidates, creating OLIGARCHY. Do you think the people consent to their government? Because they don't, ever since Lincoln. He didn't free slaves, he made just made EVERYONE slaves and said they're free.
triple glazed windows are efficient, but the whole building needs to be efficient, not just the windows. and you don't really use them outside of cold places, say, northern Europe, places with real winters, maybe northern part of USA and Canada are good for that, too. but we build whole buildings with different building codes, for the local climate, so buildings are more expensive, the whole building needs to be energy efficient. here triple glazed windows are a standard through free-market demand. it also insulates noise.
There are too many subsidies for American businesses (welfare). We should eliminate the subsidies and allow the best managed businesses to rise to the top through real capitalism. Small businesses being held down by unnecessary regulations is also a problem.
There IS no "we." The people DO NOT consent to their government, ever since Lincoln. He didn't free slaves, he made just made EVERYONE slaves and SAID they're free. We NEED to SECEDE.
@@teamnova5671 you are looking thru the wrong end of the telescope.... Commies want everything controlled by only one massive corporation... And they also want that corporation to be able to force people to "buy" their stuff at gunpoint. Imagine walmart forcing you to buy their stuff at gunpoint, multiply that by 1000 and that's communism
Dilly Dally the rich have ALWAYS been in charge. The little guy is fuel to feed the fire. And free market fanatics just want to be the exploiters, not end the exploitation.
What entails an energy efficient window? Is my window that does nothing and uses no energy energy efficient? If not, how much more efficient can you get?
Presumably, an energy efficient window is one which keeps all the heat indoors and doesn't let any out, so you don't need to spend as much money on heating. But there are much better ways to save money. Radiator reflectors are cheap and work well. Cavity wall insulation is also good. And replacing your boiler with a heat pump will also make a massive improvement.
Corporate subsidies goes completely against the economic conservative philosophy many Republicans champion. Basically every industry from farming to pharma gets money from the government no matter how poorly they perform because they can lobby Congress to keep the money. I thought that the essence of Capitalism was that you should be able to do it yourself with little help. But lobbying Congress has clearly convinced Democrats and Republicans alike to waste billions every year to funding projects and payouts to companies that can easily stand on their own two feet and who don't pay taxes. Simultaneously, they treat workers poorly by not allowing unionized employees, not increasing wages in real terms for decades, underinsuring and underprepaing workers for retirement and do little to provide adequate conditions for their employees, I'm looking at you Amazon.
Thank you this is the kind of capitalism that the left has been complaining about. But thank God America has some of the best politicians that money can buy.
would they sue linux operating systems for being free and all the programs it includes inside it for being free? bad news for ubuntu, i guess. i needed to put Lubuntu into my old mams computer, because windows 10 was just too much of a choke for the 4gb ram and old mobile processor. cant believe they still sell new 4gb ram computers to the general public in 2021.
@John Stossel Corporate welfare is a issue on both democrats and republicans. Don’t think it is just a problem of democrats. You’re so radical on lots of things, but the issue of eradicating corporate welfare is something we need to agree on.
Bill Gates didn't start with an idea, he started with a grandfather who owned the 1st Bank of Seattle. If you're going to have a show about truth and honesty, then have some.
New technology would never be invented without subsidies, since there would be corporate monopolies preventing innovation of new cheaper technology which could replace the older more expensive technology, corporations don't want to compete, they'd rather the old technology and infrastructure last as long as possible since it'd cost them to actually innovate and give customers a better, cheaper alternative. Most of the innovation may come from the free market, and some subsidies may very well be bloated, but I still support some subsidies for new and innovative technology. All John Stossel does is poke at the small flaws of the left wing, while ignoring the huge problems a libertarian economic system would create, such as huge monopolies which have absolutely zero free market incentives to destroy themselves or improve. You could say the government is simply a giant libertarian corporation, controlled by the people, who currently have a monopoly on the laws? I'd still rather live in bloated democrat subsidy land than libertarian corporate monopoly land, even if both are shitty.
We can't fix this problem people, If the government stops or slows the freeloading, the businesses of won't support the government and America will lose power
Stossel, get off your high horse. When corporations succeed the shareholders benefit. These are your kids teachers, nurses, and police officers who invest their retirement funds in these companies. When corporations thrive the entire country benefits.
Love that you used only Democrats. Why not throw down some Exon Mobil with right wing wacko's? Politicians should be barred from becoming lobbyist after their term is done. Take the money out so they can't buy a seat.
“The free market doesn’t know anything...”. WTF?
Subsidies of all kinds do not work.
But in her mindset, the government knows exactly what to subsidise, typical government, they think they know best.
She lost all credibility.
There IS no free market, because there are no free PEOPLE.
They do NOT CONSENT TO THEIR GOVERNMENT.
This creates an oligarchy no matter what you do.
So John Stossel is just chasing a wild goose, thinking that WHINING is a solution.

Gotta say: i respect the honesty

Wilbur & Orville Wright didn't get a government handout.
Neither did Tesla
