So the title made me initially not want to watch and then the video itself told me its not meant for me in the first minute or so. So anyway I find a lot of his arguments are not as problematic when proper laws keeping money out of politics, which is now impossible in the US given the citizens united ruling. Well impossible till congress acts to correct the judicial mistake (and it is such a massive mistake given how much the constitution emphasizes power is reserved ultimately for the people)

Thanks for taking the time, even if you don’t agree with their politics. It is important to find common ground, if possible, with differing points of view. There is a way through this, but only if we work together, despite political differences. It can happen.

You gave an old man hope today. Thanks.

Its a tough subject overall as peoples definitions sorta can differ. Citizens united from the us has certainly effected my outlook and now, at the least, I question the wisdom of having any type of legal shielding around trusts and corporations and other legal entities like religions and non for profits. So I have become somewhat of an anti corporatist as opposed to capitalist.
