1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,960
Say that Jill Stein pulls it off
and she gets elected. 

2
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:08,520
OK, She wants to drastically 
increase the amount of money 

3
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,800
that the government has access 
to by taxing the rich and 

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,400
increasing taxes everywhere. 
It's really easy for even the 

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,000
most well-intentioned people to 
drastically increase the amount 

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,920
of resources the government has.
And then she wants to put a 

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:25,120
sticky note on it says that says
this can only be used 

8
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,320
domestically. 
Well, once you have such a power

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,360
vacuum, you're not going to be 
calling the shots after this. 

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,240
You might get assassinated, you 
might not. 

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,040
You might say, well, Congress 
tied my hands and we had to 

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,040
spend the money now on warfare. 
So whether it's Trump, Kamala or

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,160
Miss Jill Stein, the most well 
intended person, once you 

14
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:47,840
drastically increase the power 
of the state, you're no longer 

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,560
calling the shots. 
It's the equivalent of saying we

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,680
should give the Ku Klux Klan a 
ton of rope, the right to make 

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,480
legal decisions. 
We should give them the right to

18
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,240
regulate things and then they 
should be a nice organization 

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,480
afterwards. 
Well, once you give them that 

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,720
power, they have no reason to 
listen to you. 

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,160
Once you give the state even 
more money that Bernie and AOC 

22
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,920
and Jill Stein want to give 
them, they have no incentive to 

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,880
listen to you after that. 
And the politicians, of course, 

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,440
have no incentive to actually 
give you what you want because 

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,840
they're running for re election 
and they're wanting to endorse 

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:25,480
their next candidate on the 
ballot. 

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,880
So look, they just don't have 
the incentive. 

28
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,600
That's the basic lesson of 
economics. 

29
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,480
Look at the incentives people 
face. 

30
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,560
That's why this joke about Ron 
Paul was right. 

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,440
All roads lead to Ron Paul being
right. 

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,200
JD Vance correctly said the 
other day that the problem with 

33
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,400
BlackRock is when you have a 
central bank, they're able to 

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,440
out compete everyone else 
because they have access to 

35
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:50,880
lower interest rates. 7% for the
average person, 1.5% BlackRock. 

36
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,240
This is a huge problem when you 
have a central bank. 

37
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,040
The reason Ron Paul was so right
about so many of these things is

38
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,520
the average imbecile looks at 
the wording and the alleged 

39
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,160
intentions of certain 
legislations. 

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,120
Ron Paul would look at the 
incentives created by the 

41
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,039
legislation. 
So when he saw that 

42
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:12,560
Sarbanes-Oxley said we're going 
to protect consumers from facing

43
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,600
another Enron, Ron Paul didn't 
take that seriously correctly, 

44
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,240
laughed off and said, well, this
is going to increase barriers to

45
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,560
entry for other companies and 
this is going to create more 

46
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:24,680
oligopolies. 
And there will be fewer IP OS, 

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,880
initial public offerings than 
there were in previous years 

48
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,600
because it's harder to become a 
company and have an IPO in the 

49
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,600
1st place. 
And of course, he was right. 

50
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,000
By looking at the incentives, 
we're able to make better 

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880
assumptions about what the 
future will hold, because every 

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,040
person evil people will actively
lie, and good people will come 

53
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,080
up with rationalizations 
afterwards.
