Current Ron Paul would not have sent troops to Europe in WW 1 or 2 as far as I understand his principles (if he had hypothetically timetravelled and had very hypothetically become president). Correct?

I'm tempted to take it out of terrible, too, since they did not, in fact, give this the "green light", but it's certainly in the spirit of terrible.

Also, what's up with WW executing people?

I was in grade school when this came out, so I watched to see if the modern WW has just gotten cynical and sold out in his old age. Maybe he was more honest back then.

hmmmmm.....a documentary where poverty is highlighted alot, but not one mention of the poverty rate and how it changed from the 60s to the time of the film. Ditto with education: all these 'experts' bemoan the decline in education, but not one mention of any broad measure against the 60s: graduation rates, average test scores, average GPAs, anything. Could it be that they don't have access to this information?

Dishonest.

And shilling for educational vouchers; I had no idea that issue had been defeated way back in the 80s. It seems the people of DC were even too savvy back then to fall for it.

Eliminating the minimum wage is a cure for poverty? Please explain the math to me!

In the example of the phili high school, a least he admitted that there were more students who graduated, despite the other problems. "These diplomas were worth less", yeah, but that was a nationwide phenomenona. And I agree about the cab issue.

The guy at about 21:00 goes through this elaborate narrative about a black ghetto girl, and her incentives to have a child out of wedlock so she can get paid, but then says it's not about race. WTF?

You know what, the government helps most americans, regardless of income, and I never hear middleclass people or rich people complain about the direct and indirect benefits they themselves receive. In fact, I would argue that at my high income, I get alot more financial help than some "ghetto" person. My mortgage tax writeoff alone is probably bigger than most people's yearly WIC/food stamp budget. Last year, the government gave middle class people lots of free money to buy houses.

On Walter Williams, that tool is so intellectually dishonest it's ridiculous; him and Stossel make a good team in that respect. Talk about racial quotas: the only reason WW is given a platform (syndicated columns, etc) for his opinion is because he is an extreme right wing black person that is willing to loudly criticize african americans to white audiences.

But to facts. If you look at every economic statistic, black americans are much more better off than they were in the 60s. Before 1960, most blacks were under the poverty line, now most are above. The number of middle class black people since then has widely expanded. There are more black managers and executives. Surely the Great Society and affirmative action had something to do with this great progress? This video was from the early 80s; we can also see that there has been significant progress since 1980 in terms of poverty, education and other areas. To suggest that government programs have not only not helped but have hindered this progress requires a stronger argument than huxters like WW and JS can muster.
