Mike Maloney: Big Government = Less Prosperity

[jbetteridge]

No institution should ever be 'too big to fail' that includes the government.

I feel incredibly grateful for our consumer protection laws.

I like these little snippets of wisdom

The non aggressive principle is anathema to collectivist government.

The definition of 'bureaucracy'

The most regulated industry is banking. Guess what industry has the biggest problems and always costs taxpayers the most? 

[LibyaLY]

Not ALL wealth comes from the private sector. For example, when a public school teacher spends her/his time and expertise on educating students she is creating wealth by increasing the capabilities of the student. Yes, taxes pay for this but education creates more wealth than it consumes thereby turning a profit and increasing prosperity. Just an example.

I'd like to hear more about your opinions on politics and economics beyond Gold and Silver, i think that would be really interesting! Can you talk more about healthcare for example?

Yet another reason we need real money made from gold & silver.
If the wealth of a nation is in the hands of its people, it limits the power that nations government has over its people. Trade would be free of taxation, without people having to pay banks to exchange worthless fiat currency's, or taxes for shipping between us/eu/aus ect.

The only government I actually like is regulatory.  I do want government enforcing building codes, inspecting food for contamination, environmental protection; keeping a level playing field for industry.

But this massive military industrial complex is insane, and all the acronym organizations are useless.

Here is a little thought experiment for you.  If a pre-65 quarter would buy you a gallon of gas in 1964, and it will buy you a gallon of gas today(silver melt value).  It will take you about 16 of our quarter today to buy a gallon of gas.  So if you multiply the value of the silver quarters by 16, that means that silver should be at least $64 an ounce. . .

One Public Sector employee didn't like this video Lol. Another great (but way too short) video Mike..

[freddykrueger]

Its amazing how many people will vote a politician in who claims he will "create jobs" with his "job action plan".
Exactly where the money is siphoned off from to pay for those "job creation schemes" is never addressed.

You mention not having to store bitcoin in vaults, but you still have to store it on a server. My reluctance to plunge into Bitcoin is that there is no accountability that I can see.

Hi Mike - great video !!. What do you think about junior mining stocks? Doug Casey says, that some will rise 1000 to 1 in this bull market. If the Gold / Dow ratio will finally reach 0.5 you can buy a huge amounts of new cycle stocks ( which will hopefully do as good as well like in the 1980-1999 bullmarket ), like for example Robotic stocks. I think this is an easy and elegant way to snatch huge amount`s of these stocks. The Gold and Silver coins i store for buying property at the Goldprice peak. Best Wishes from Frankfurt/ Germany.

This should be outlawed. You sir, are making to much sense.
