If the world/US is not so divided, maybe a truly peaceful & civil discussion can be made without all the sound bites or unnecessary noise from bias media.

@Igor Horváth sure buddy the US that funds the biggest and most expensive military in the world will go bankrupt if it provided basic necessity's such as healthcare and education to all it's citizens. Something which every other developed country in the world managed to do. I sometimes wonder why the US citizens all collectively act like old bitter men that see everything free as a communist scam designed to ruin America, but now i realize that years of a bad education system had it's effect on you.

+Brandonio Granger This video reminds me A LOT, almost deju vu, when Ron Paul ran last elections.... I watched his SAME video similar to this (Ron Paul Predictions, MUST see!). I saw so many Ron Paul supporters, and everything.... and then when the final decision came, the lobbyists and corrupt politicians chose RoMONEY instead of Ron Paul, even though Ron Paul had far more public support online and in my city of Miami. It was corrupt how they chose romney, and you know what, the same thing is going to happen to Bernie, I have a HUGE feeling the fools will elect Hillary even though she is under federal investigation as the Democrat candidate, simply because too many rich corporations and democrats themselves put money into her.... he will get ''Ron Pauled'' in the last democratic debate, I hate to say it but this corrupt system seems to prechose everything, ever since the 2000 elections its been nothing but bogus candidates nobody really supports in the mainstream!
