Our Troubling Tax System


This video was produced by Caleb Brown ( www.twitter.com ) and Austin Bragg ( www.twitter.com ). The US tax code gets more complex every year. It violates civil liberties and, left unchanged, will leave the United States at a powerful competitive disadvantage in years to come. Chris Edwards, Director of Tax Policy Studies, Senior Fellow Daniel J. Mitchell and Director of Information Policy Studies Jim Harper dissect the troubling aspects of our tax system.

Free* Government Money With Matthew Lesko!


Nobody knows how to get more free* money from the government than ubiquitous TV pitchman Matthew Lesko ( www.leskobooks.com ). And now he's cashing in on the biggest pile of government loot since the Treasury first started printing greenbacks. "Who cares about hyperinflation, crippling debt, or a massive tax burden on your grandkids? It's all free!" *Some shipping & handling fees apply. "Free Government Money" was written and produced by Reason.tv's Meredith Bragg and his brother Austin Bragg. This video was entered into Right.org's anti-bailout video contest, where filmmakers are competing for a top prize of $25799 (one person's bailout burden).

Long Live Roquefort


Jill Erber - owner of Cheesetique in Alexandria, Virginia - defends free trade by defiantly selling French Roquefort cheese at her cost. She does so to highlight a punitive tariff imposed as the Bush Administration was about to leave office. The tariff was to take effect on March 23, 2009. The Obama Administration has delayed the tariff by a month and may eliminate it altogether. This video was produced by Austin Bragg and Caleb Brown.

Experimental Economist Bart Wilson on the Meaning of "Fair"


Politicians and pundits often use the word "fair" to describe policies they favor. But what does "fair" really mean? Chapman University experimental economist Bart Wilson argues that fairness should not be construed as equality of outcome, but as a process in which everyone plays by the rules and honors agreements. When lawmakers obscure the definition of this word, it may result in policy that is ineffective, arbitrary, and fundamentally unfair. Approximately 8:50.

Porker of The Month (July 2010): Rep. Marcy Kaptur!


Reason.tv presents Citizens Against Government Waste's Porker of the Month for July 2010: Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-OH)! Back in March, the House Appropriations Committee banned members of Congress from awarding earmarks to for-profit companies. Kaptur publicly praised the new ban, but privately she taught corporations (including one of her biggest campaign contributors) how to get around it, thus ensuring that their steady diet of taxpayer-supplied pork would continue. Way to go, Rep. Kaptur! "Porker of the Month" is written and produced by Austin Bragg. Approximately 1.2 minutes.

Reason.tv presents Citizens Against Government Waste's Porker of the Month for February 2011: Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY)! Rep. Nadler is pushing full steam ahead on a $53 billion spending spree for High Speed Rail projects. This of course is after the 8 billion spent on High Speed Rail in the stimulus bill.

Will Net Neutrality Save the Internet?


Advocates say that "Net Neutrality" will "save the Internet." But does the Internet need saving? Net Neutrality is a proposed set of regulatory powers that would grant the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the ability to control how Internet service providers (ISPs) package their services. Proponents argue that such rules are necessary to ensure that ISPs treat all data on the Internet equally and don't slow or even restrict access to various websites and other parts of the Internet. However well-intentioned, the practical effect will be to limit consumer choice and grant the federal government unprecedented power over the Internet, all in the name of fixing a problem that doesn't exist in any meaningful way (reason.com Indeed, examples of the behavior that Net Neutrality will combat are few and far between.

Wheat, Weed, and ObamaCare: How the Commerce Clause Made Congress All-Powerful


*Update: US District Judge Roger Vinson ruled that because the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's individual mandate to purchase health insurance is unconstitutional, the entire law "must be declared void." Judge Vinson cites this Reason.tv video on page 47 of his decision. --- The Commerce Clause of the US Constitution grants Congress the power to "regulate commerce . . . among the several States," and for more than 100 years federal lawmakers invoked it for a very narrow purpose—to prevent states from imposing trade barriers on each other. But today members of Congress act as if it gives them the authority to do just about anything—including forcing you to eat your vegetables. During her Supreme Court confirmation hearings, Elena Kagan seemed to accept that the Commerce Clause could, in theory, give Congress the power to dictate what Americans eat. And what about ObamaCare's "individual mandate," which forces Americans to purchase health insurance? ObamaCare opponents are lining up to challenge its constitutionality, but supporters say it's justified—you guessed it—under the Commerce Clause. How did a clause intended as a restriction on states wind up giving Congress a green light to regulate noncommercial, local, and purely private behavior? How will ObamaCare stand up against the legal challenges brought by the states?

Social Security, Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, & Alan Simpson: Ultimate Remix


It's easy to laugh at former Sen. Alan Simpson's bizarre malapropisms on Your World With Neil Cavuto. The Wyoming Republican appeard on the Fox News show earlier this week in his capacity as co-chairman of Barack Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. Early on in the segment (watch the whole interview here), Simpson went on a tear about the kids these days, claiming that "...grandchildren now don't write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they're walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg..." Well, maybe. Yes, it' easy to laugh because it's funny to see an old man make a jackass out of himself. Especially when he's a senator. But what's more disturbing than Simpson's tenuous grasp of rap music and youth fashion (backwards-facing baseball caps are like so 1990s, dude!) is the guy's stalwart defense of Social Security, which is a terrible deal for all Americans under the age of 50. To find out why, go to reason.com "Social Security, Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, & Alan Simpson: Ultimate Remix" was created by Reason.tv's Austin Bragg. Text by Nick Gillespie.

I Spend on Your Grave!: 3D Fiscal House of Horrors!, ep. 1


How did the federal budget become more terrifying than Rahm Emmanuel in a locker-room shower? It's not complicated. Since World War II, government revenues have averaged about 18 percent of Gross Domestic Product. Government expenditures, alas, have rarely kept close to that number (this year alone, it will be close to 26 percent of GDP). The result is as predictable and grisly as a curvaceous college co-ed entering the last house on the lane: red ink that threaten to drown us all.

Pipes, who hails from Canada, worries that ObamaCare has set the US on a path toward a Canadian-style system. She weighs in on if and how ObamaCare could be repealed and what should replace it.

Porker of The Month (June 2010): Sen. Richard Shelby, Who Made Pigs Fly in Outer Space!


Reason.tv presents Citizens Against Government Waste's Porker of the Month for June 2010. CAGW makes this award to a politician or special interest who takes pork-barrel spending to new heights. This month's winner is Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) The Constellation Program was intended to modernize NASA and replace the aging Space Shuttle, but has been plagued by cost overruns and blown deadlines. President Obama and NASA have proposed canceling the unsustainable program—turning instead to the emerging private space industry to oversee launches. In response, Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) co-sponsored a measure protecting Constellation, which was attached to an emergency war funding bill. Such a measure ensures millions of taxpayer dollars will continue being funneled to politically connected NASA contractors. Contractors like Alabama's own Radiance Technologies, which—wouldn't you know it—just happens to be one of Shelby's biggest campaign contributors. Congratulations Sen. Shelby, you are the Porker of the Month for June 2010! For more info on Citizens Against Government Waste and the Porker of The Month, go to cagw.org Written, produced, and narrated by Austin Bragg.

Night of The Living Debt!: 3D Fiscal House of Horrors, ep. 2


What's spookier than Sen. Harry Reid guest-starring in The Vagina Monologues? The balance sheet from hell better known as the national debt. In 2009, the federal deficit was $1.4 trillion, or over 12 percent of GDP and the highest level since World War II. The federal debt, which is made up of all the annual deficits plus interest on borrowed money, is around 45 percent of GDP and is projected to be 90 percent of GDP by 2020. Which means the government will be sucking more money out of your pocket and the larger economy to pay for bailing out GM and Citigroup today.

Attack of The Killer Compensation!: 3D Fiscal House of Horrors, ep. 3


Here's a tale more fear-inducing than Michelle Obama at a fat farm. Chew on this: In more than eight of 10 occupations, federal workers make more in straight salary than their private sector counterparts. A federal janitor makes $6000 more than his private-sector counterpart and a federal nurse makes $11000 than her counterpart. And federal workers on average get four times more in benefits such as health care and retirement. At the state and local level, public-sector workers take home more than their private-sector equivalents, too (Michigan public-sector workers, for instance, take home 47 percent more in total compensation than their private-sector analogues). The result of such taxpayer-funded largess? An economic living death on the installment plan!

Attack Ads, Circa 1800


Have this year's negative political ads really "taken dirty to a whole new level, as CNN's Anderson Cooper frets? Is a "return to civility...a relic of a bygone era," as President Barack Obama laments? Er, not exactly. If anonymous political speech, the other widely decried villain of this political season, helped found the United States, attack ads are as American as apple pie. If you fancy yourself a patriot or a history buff, you will most certainly approve this message, which is taken from statements made by, for, and against the nation's founders. Approximately 1.45 minutes. Written and produced by Meredith Bragg. Voiced by Caleb Brown, Michael C. Moynihan, and Austin Bragg.
