This is the first of hopefully many podcasts made by yours truly. This podcast is on the subject of tariffs. I hope you enjoy this! Feedback is welcome, of course.
Smoot-Hawley Act on Wikipedia, specifically the economic effects.
I don’t even need to comment on this. It speaks for itself!
Milton Friedman does an excellent job illustrating how inflation is caused and why it is an unsustainable way of paying for government programs.
Watch until the end. There is an excellent message of hope that I think we should all embrace. We’ll get through this–a post-collapse society will be a much more stable place to live.
We have to violate rights in order to protect them
I lifted this from a conversation I was having with some friends on the subject of gun control and populace safety. I was asked some key questions about rights, and was told that rights at times must be sacrificed for the “greater good.” Specifically in this case the right to own a gun gets trumped by the “right” to be safe. I attempted to answer their questions by showing that the notion of government is immoral. I think I lay out the ground work pretty well, so I’ve posted it here for your reading pleasure. Comments welcome.
But the truth is, they don’t work for us–we work for them. In fact, we are really their slaves. Let’s walk through this.
The father of the nine year old girl who was murdered in the shooting in Tucson, AZ, does not support taking away guns.

Best quote aimed at political conservatives who complain about socialism: “If you have a problem with socialized medicine, you should also have a problem with college football.”
Marc takes apart the concept of the state, and proves that it does not exist.
The anti-market left has used this horrific tragedy to denounce privatization, limited government, and markets. They’ve blamed everyone from conservatives to libertarians to tea party activists for the horror.
In fact, they’ve blamed just about everyone except the actual people responsible for the decision — who we’ll reveal in just a moment.
A friend of mine told me that if I don’t vote, then I don’t have the right to complain about the things the government does. In fact, she went as far to tell me that she would’t even listen to anything I say on the subject.
Maybe that’s a good thing. Because then I can stop trying to reach her. It’s a lot of effort on my part–it’s exhausting banging your head against a solid rock of pig-headed stubbornness 
.
I stopped voting because I believe that a vote in any political election is an affirmation the system is valid and that you think how our government extracts wealth from people is a-okay. That violence employed against peaceful people who have harmed no one is the best way to treat people. That it is okay for one group of people to control another peaceful group of people.
