Tear apart this video series

I think this post belongs in conspiracy theories, where we're quite accustomed to crackpots railing about the Federal Reserve.
 
Pure Conspiracy Crap,with a total ignorance of history and economics.
And it sounds an awful lot like the crap we get from Lyndon La Rouche..surprise,surprise,considering the OP.
 
No, it's 100% LaRouche-free, I checked.

Can you recommend a concise book that explains why the financial/economic/political system is so ****ed up, without recourse to the concept that rich men rule the world via finance?

People are douchebags.

Doesn't get more concise than that.

By this you're implying that rich men don't make deals with each other to increase their respective amounts of power, influence, and wealth, when in reality rich men spend their time doing little else.

What? I'm implying no such thing. Apparently conciseness is lost on you; perhaps you should consider requesting more verbose explanations in the future.

Of course rich men work to increase their riches; that's how they become rich, and how they stay that way. This is so obvious and commonplace as to be hardly worth mentioning. Is this really the extent of your insight? That Warren Buffet and Bill Gates make an effort to get rich?

Well, they also play golf, sail in luxurious yachts, attend charity fundraisers, and administer the charities they've founded and for which they raise funds.

But none of this has any bearing on my concise explanation of "why the financial/economic/political system is so ****ed up": The system is so ****ed up because people are douchebags, and every system ever implemented by douchebags is bound to get ****ed up sooner or later.

But now I'm losing conciseness, belaboring a point that should be obvious already.

Now you're implying that the system we live under, where rich men conspire to increase their riches at the expense of the poor and middle class, compromising democracy and eliminating Classical culture from the minds of the masses, would somehow not be improved if those rich men ceased to so conspire.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the number of rich men you know well is zero.

I think he's confused politicians with rich businessmen. Businessmen get wealthy with legitimate business -- products, services, and being better than their competitors.

Politicians, on the other hand, "make deals with each other to increase their respective amounts of power, influence, and wealth, and, in reality, spend their time doing little else."

In other words, politicians are the ones who increase their power in ways that don't have anything to do with people voluntarily wanting to deal with them.

This could have gone in non-USA politics, but really it's focussed in America, the seat of world imperial power according to the video author. What do YOU think?

Nobody here can tear these videos apart. I posted them as well and not a single person attempted any sort of refutation.

The guy who made them - Damon Vrabel - is 100 percent on the money in his analysis.
