THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE THE BASIS FOR A SELF-GOVERNING PEOPLE. "THE FIRST PERSON YOU MUST LEAD AND DISCIPLINE IS YOURSELF" LIEUTENANT GENERAL HAROLD G. MOORE
Excellent presentation besides the mis-characterization of the occupy wall street movements perspective. The protests (not riots haha) was an effort to root out corruption and not a socialist attempt to redistribute wealth arbitrarily for equality. The movement was focused on the rule of law and it failed miserably; it was a fart in the wind. Mr. Erler is rightfully confounded as to what action can be taken to restore the rule of law and the constitutional republic. What is there to do to a state that neglects it's every legal duty in favor of betraying the foundational rights to liberty, privacy , and property. I am certain that violence will escalate between the state and citizens until a finality is reached and a pause in violence will occur until tyranny forces violence again. It has always been this way for humans. But for a brief moment of history our ancestors forged the freest, most prosperous union of peoples ever manifested and did so by their sheer fortitude, if ever in history there was a great action by a peoples to grab their boot straps and lift themselves up, it was then. And now we have a diseased and rotting carcass of corruption and tyranny to beat us down until violence becomes the only option. Hurray for that happy day when battle will once again decide champions and adversity forges mediocre dolts into men of glory.

"...THE POLICY OF WITHHOLDING CORPORATE DIVIDENDS ...DESTROYS THE INSTITUTION OF PRIVATE PROPERTY BECAUSE PRIVATE PROPERTY IN CAPITAL IS THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE ALL THE NET INCOME ONE’S CAPITAL PRODUCES" -- Louis O. Kelso
The full rights of private property are not enforced in corporate equity, something the founding fathers could not foresee because the situation didn't really develop until well into the industrial revolution. If you own shares of a corporation, then according to the bundle of rights of control under private property, you are entitled to your share of the profits earned by that corporation. The result is that we have a casino-like stock market, where capital gains are favored over income, and a new aristocracy that is quickly becoming our modern day oligarchy.
A man that can barely afford the land can not afford to retire because taxes and penalties threaten to take away his hard earned home only the people who have a pile of money left when they reach retirement age can afford to retire
Kennedy is refering to this country as his idealized regime rather than the founding fathers in which your benefit to this country is in his personal. No, party's interest. What I'm saying here: democrats such as Kennedy wanted you to benefit this country by voting for them to transform this country into a socialist regime and the integration of their ideological fallacies within the functionality of this nation and our people. No, Kennedy didn't turn this into socialism, rather he's drawn us closer. That is if you let them.

I think a discussion on anti federalist papers would be a fascinating video in future

ECONOMIC FREEDOM IS A NECESSARY INGREDIENT FOR HUMAN LIBERTY TO FLOURISH.
Property is basic to all other rights.
Property ownership does not lead to happiness when they threaten to take it away every year over taxes the american dream oh boy
