I’m generally against discrediting organizations and ideas by ridiculing the worst of their members. It’s too cheap and easy; a “straw-man” rebuttal. Nevertheless, these videos are funny enough to earn an exception. Enjoy.

i believe littering is what is now referred to as “job creation”, someones got to pick it up!
I wouldn’t be surprised.
That’s an example of the famous “Broken Window Fallacy,” popularized in Henry Hazlitt’s masterpiece Economics in One Lesson, which asserts breaking a window causes economic stimulus.
Those who falsely believe smashing a window stimulates the economy see the glazier getting payment to replace the window and the subsequent purchases rippling through the economy, but they neglect the unseen – the good and services never purchased because of the money spent to replace the window.
The seen vs. the unseen is a common struggle for those of us who believe in economic liberty. We see the public, centrally-planned jobs of a stimulus package, but we don’t see the many private jobs destroyed by the confiscation of wealth. The victims are difficult to identify.
yes, thats what i was thinking of :)
