The second half explains how free markets are supposed to work in a free society:

Two things I especially liked in part 2 are the fist-and-dagger representation of what America’s “hero” FDR actually did to this country during WWII (segment starts at 4:57), and an almost Nostrodamical prediction of Obama’s rise to power (segment starts at 7:47).

  1. Thanks, Harvey. I enjoy this series you’re doing. It also reminds me how much we all have in common here at the IMAO barn: our belief in individual liberty.

    Concur.

    Many thanks to Frank, Harvey, monkey, and Basil for keeping this bastion of humor and sanity up and running.

  2. Part 2; 9:30 mins/secs. Perfectly describes the recent Tea Parties so demonized by Democrats……..Funny how an almost Disney like movie can put everything in perspective. Now, if we can only get this to be shown in schools….

    Actually, all of my business classes (I spent a lot of time there getting a BBA) we taught by conservatives; even back to middle school. The protesters outside the Business College were another thing entirely. (As an aside, when I was required to wear my uniform for ROTC they never said anything to me. Or when I wore my “Barrett .50 Light Sniper Rifle” t-shirt)
