This video would be better if he wasn't so politically dogmatic against Libertarianism...
Don't get me wrong it was still a great video.  For example, I think his final point about "Atheistic cultures" really hit the nail on the head.

More stupidity.

Let's see...well, for one, Democracy = mob rule which isn't mutually exclusive from fascism.
Just because a person is elected and uses force against you, doesn't change the fact that she/he/it used force, I mean, DUH!
The reason why people will be obey unjust laws couldn't have ANYTHING to do with being under duress not to, right?!
The Tea Party protesters HAVE been complaining since Bush, not just Obama.
What's more, they are upset with high SPENDING, not just taxes.  It's also very dishonest of TJ to cherry pick a few nut jobs out of the entire group just to make his point.   Way to use creationist tactics, TJ.

I could only get through the first bit about taxes.
I like how in the first video he referenced (the one above this post) he just said, "tax rates" when he was only talking about personal income tax.  In this video he therefore admits by saying that we have other taxes, that he was cherry picking.

When you add up all taxes, inflation and regulation, it adds up to about 75% of national income.
FAR greater than the 11% he kept harping on.

Is that just Federally, or all levels? What's your source for the figure?

Mine was 61.34%, but that was without inflation. How did we use inflation to get it to 75%?

Inflation and broken window effects, actually, was what you told me.
I asked in that thread, because I was at least fairly sure that you had given me that figure before in the comments on your "What is the Free Market?" video.

He's caught up in the false dichotomy again; although he apparently was a member of the Libertarian party at some point.
