Stefan! Please watch this video and respond to this argument. http://www.upworthy.com/when-they-say-cutting-taxes-on-the-rich-means-job-creation-theyre-lying-just-ask-this-rich-guy -
It appears in this video that Matt Damon is an anarchist and that he encourages civil disobedience: http://www.upworthy.com/one-of-matt-damons-finest-performances-was-never-in-theaters Perhaps Stefan should invite him on the show or create an open reply like he did with Russel Brand. I realised later that Matt Damon is in fact performing / reading a speech of Howard Zinn from 1970. However, it kinda looks as if he actually means it. And there are so many of these upworthy videos going viral these days that it makes sense to respond to them - most of the upworthy videos have a statist / leftie agenda. Which reminds me that particularly this upworthy video is extremely popular and has gone very viral: http://www.upworthy.com/9-out-of-10-americans-are-completely-wrong-about-this-mind-blowing-fact-2 It is about the distribution of wealth. The typical person that posts it on facebook is a socialist or raving statist and the conclusion is always (at least amongst Europeans): USA is a libertarian hell-hole - see how libertarianism leads to inequality - we need more laws, regulation and taxation. I think it is extremely important to explain to people that this insane inequality is the RESULT of statism, not an excuse for it!
