Look at the comments of this video: [yt]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vqRJ_O49ye8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vqRJ_O49ye8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/yt]
Examples:
"What, are you under the impression that you don't have slaves? Half of the goods in your house are made by Chinese prison labor. Hell, a lot of the stuff you own and use is made by American prison labor." - TJ
"There is no grey area between coercion and voluntarism because one of those concepts is an absolute pipe dream with no basis in reality. There is no voluntarism, only varies stages of coercion." - TJ

As someone on Penn and Teller's show once said "The foolishness of that comment is so deep that I can only ascribe it to higher education. You have to have gone to college to say something that stupid."
I mean...is he saying no one has free will? He had the free will to say that comment didn't he? What is he thinking?
You're referring to the PETA episode of Penn & Teller: Bullshit with that quote.
The sad thing is that TJ hasn't gone to college.
:P
Go to the video and read the comments. You won't be disappointed.
One comment he made in his latest video has inspired me to FINALLY make a video on the basics of what money is.

I'll bet that was the video CS was responding to as well.
I'm looking forward to that video of yours. :)
I don't watch TJ, I can't stomach that amount of stupidity and I sit through creationism videos for fun.
Then whatever you do, don't watch this video of his: [yt]<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rgDMmMFpNbo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rgDMmMFpNbo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>[/yt]
To put it another way, I'm glad it was only 4:27 long. It if was any longer, my eyes and ears would have started bleeding.
He watches way too many movies. That's all I can say.

The stupid! It burns!!!

He's also not very funny...
Seriously, he sounds like he's being forced to do this video at gun point.
WTF!?
Wow. I had no idea TJ was on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.

Unbelievable....He actually made a very damn good point.
I'm very impressed.

Perhaps there is hope for him yet. =P
Maybe more than we both thought: [yt]<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QaE0uathXJA&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QaE0uathXJA&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>[/yt]
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?

All levels.
My source: YOU! https://www.bogosity.tv/forum/index.php?topic=326.0
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.
