I'm sure there will be criticism for posting this, but it's got a 5 out of 5 from over 1000 voters on youtube with over 46,000 views.

1. Welcome to the great schism of the Republican party...

The fundies and the corporatists are suffering a tiff.

Smell that? Of course you don't. That's my pity.

I can't much stand either..but I'll suffer the latter before I suffer the former.

2. "free markets" lead to monopolies
does he really think that no government control is the answer? Why should we trust companies and not government?

4. Free Market doesn't work
Free Market, no regulation, Capitalism doesn't work just like pure communism doesn't. They both are to extreme and doesn't address the basic function of humanity. They both fail because of greed and self interest.

No where in the Constitution of the United States does it say we are a Free Market Capitalistic society.
It doesn't mention what kind of markets we are to use at all. Trickle down Theory doesn't work, It's failed 2x's now.
