KrupoRelated to his movie, entitled "AMERICA: Freedom To Fascism." (I'm guessing it's a promo interview)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America:_From_Freedom_to_Fascism
Background on who he is:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Russo
Curious why he hasn't just moved to the Cayman Islands by now?
Amusing to watch someone essentially equate the core principles of economics with black magic.
Wikipedia article on tax protestors: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_protester
NYT article on tax facts: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/31/movies/31russ.html?_r=2&pagewanted=1&oref=slogin
picklekingRusso makes a lot of sense here - it's hard to dispute the fact that America's government is controlled by and for corporate interests.
The lady interviewer is kinda' annoying, though.
haggissays...@Krupo - cheers for the links, the NYT article was an interesting read. Kind of what you'd expect from a 'pillar of the establishment' like the Gray Lady, though. It's interesting to note that most of Russo's critics attack his assertions regarding the 16th Amendment, using court rulings to bolster their arguments, rather than his claims about the Fed.
Hopefully this film will stir up some informed debate. We'll see.
@pickleking: yes, she is! she's a thoroughly annoying bint. Exactly the sort of interviewer you would expect on the 'Conscious Media Network' - it would have been interesting to see Russo go up against someone who didn't share his views and see how well he presents his case.
KrupoYeah, she was part of my reason for no upvote; curse her mightily.
It is amusing for economics students to realize that money only has value because we agree it does, though.
deathcowI wish there was a 2x mode where the audio/video ran twice as fast but the audio pitch was maintained, please add this to all video providers, DAG.

10306This guy named Michael Minns debated the IRS on MSNBC way back in lke '01 before anybody else seems to have. Someone posted the video on youtube. He's an attorney who has beaten the IRS. He says that the tax system is unfairly geared to punishing the victims of illegal tax shelters, and not toward punishing the supposedly illegal tax shelter providers. The entire vid is posted on Google Videos, while Youtube seems to only have highlights. Michael Minns' books are coauthored by Ron Paul.
