    The funny and ironic part is that this red-neck guy is actually pretty well informed and gets it, unlike the rest of sheeple 6pack whose wake up call will come only the hard way. I say we get Max Keiser put him on national TV for 2 or 3 minutes. Just think of all the negative marketing attention it would get, ratings would surely go up.

      What kind of educated individual goes and distirubutes a public video destroying a child's car with a baseball bat and an axe? This is the kind of guy you run into in a bar that knows everything about anything and won't shut the fu_k up. An angry destructive individual.

      I try to avoid people like this. And unfortunately, their numbers will be exponentially growing in the very near future.

      Guys like this are an accident waiting to happen.

        A bit off topic but upon reviewing MJs catalog of tunes, I find it ironic that his theme of 1980 was "living off the wall". "Leave the 9 to 5 upon the shelf, and just enjoy yourelf". THE BEGINNING of the F.I.R.E. economy.

          They have given us into the hands of the new unhappy lords,
          Lords without anger and honour, who dare not carry their swords.
          They fight by shuffling papers; they have bright dead alien eyes;
          They look at our labour and laughter as a tired man looks at flies.
          And the load of their loveless pity is worse than the ancient wrongs,
          Their doors are shut in the evenings; and they know no songs.

            Well, I'll have to agree that he is certainly acting like a redneck idiot.

            But he speaks more facts and more understanding of financial complexities than any redneck I've ever known.

            My guess is that he's a wall street employee of some decent experience on some money desk somewhere, who is packaging himself as a redneck idiot to expand his YouTube reach.

              Personally, I consider it fortunate that their numbers will be growing soon.

                Hahah, you guys have no sense of humor.


                Do you not get the irony of his video statement? Based on this (and some of his past) videos, he is trying to prove that "China makes cheap toys and look how much I don't care about them and I'll show you how cheap they are because I'm going to show you how quickly they fall apart when you take a bat [and later an ax] to it!".

                Did you see how many times he hit the car with the bat? Listen to him breathing rather hard. It looks like China makes some pretty sturdy stuff after all.

                Apparently these toys *can* take a beating...

                  As I've said before, this time it's going to be different . . . because of the internet.
                  I say the same thing. They better truly watch out what they are doing.

                  I know more than a few people who have said that they would join a revolution (in the actual United States) in a heartbeat if there were more people in the streets protesting.

                  I imagine a currency collapse would do the trick.

                    best youtube comment on the vid... 'His kid is going to be pissed when he sees what happened to his toy car.'

                    In one of his earlier vids he explains that a lot of the toys are ones that his kids have outgrown. Other stuff he finds by the side of the road.

                    I think that his frustration is felt by everyone to some degree and is healthy if channeled correctly. I'm not totally convinced that it would result in any sort of effective change at this point though. Bank/corporate ownership of gov't has become a web that we'll never pull ourselves out of IMO.

                      When does a southern accent equate to level of education and socio-economic status?

                        Not sure how many states have a referendum process. Would like to see California have a referendum on establishing a state bank like North Dakota has. Profits go into the general fund. Would like to see a number of states do that.

                        Becoming more skeptical that establishing a third party would be too difficult to pull off. However, would encourage voters to not vote for incumbents and vote for third party candidates from parties that are already established. Wouldn't be enough to destroy the two party system riff with corruption but might put some stress cracks big enough in their foundation to do some serious shoring up with some honest and fair legislation.

                        Yeah, I know. "It's a wasted vote" and ya'd have to hold your nose on some of the more 'weird' positions third parties take. The alternative is continued and accellerating corruption and loss of faith in governmental institutions. Had a neighbor come over and said he'd wished he hadn't voted for Obama but a third party candidate instead. I didn't solict this response. However, after he stated it I told him I voted a straight third party ticket. When I couldn't find a candidate in the party I preferred I picked the next closests one to my belief system I could find from a different party other than the Democrats or Republicans. There's a swell building to dislodge the ruling political elite. Don't know how intense it is or if it will crest, collapse, and pull the present corruption out to sea.

                          Certainly if we do pull out, it will be via some circuitous route that is not evident at the present.

                            No, he's gotta be from any of KY, TN, or Georgia and is likely a small business owner who's underemployed and bored.

                            I find his videos to be funny and like the way he destroys the same consumer products that J6P has been buying from overseas for the past 30 years. He is obviously informed but uses way too many four letter words and has a limited vocabulary.

                            Either way, I'd hole up with him if the sh*t hit the fan! He doesn't run out of breath and believes in hard work and America of old.

                              Perhaps, but can you imagine the guy's rant if he were to read iTulip? (and getting cues from Metalman). We are about to find out!

                              Again, it seems that your own LargoWinch is set on promoting the "iTulip school of truth and applied research" to all of YouTube.

                                Replace the toy car with an effigy of Paulson, Geitner etc. and you've got yourself a new Spartacus.
