Word up, Jason. Ron Paul! 🙂
Ron Paul sucks! He doesn’t live in the real world. All he has are theories. His theories have never been tested in the real world and probably won’t work. Ann Rand and the Tea Party are a bunch of old ass holes. Michelle Bachman, the tea party leader, is a complete bumpkin.
Word.
The whole tea party movement was funded into existence by Wall Street, who – what a surprise – also lobbied for the same deregulations that intensified, if not created, the economic crisis that they’re now blaming on poor consumer choices.
You’re free to argue about how much power governments vs. corporations should hold, but to support Paul’s “Unregulated markets bring freedom” ideology is just beyond sanity.
@Henry: The tea party movement started out as a GRASS ROOTS movement… It was then seen by many slimy politicians as an opportunity to gain votes (like when Palin tried to claim leadership). I don’t know where you got the “funded into existence by Wall Street” idea. If you have any links to back it up, post away! =)
Theories? Ever heard of Ludwig Von Mises? Ever heard of free market structure? Ever heard of the Austrian school of economics?

Jason… you always tell it like it is and that’s why we love you. Awesome video.
@Negativity Scott, what do YOU have other than typical name-calling? Where’s YOUR solution?
Have you ever even read any of Ron Paul’s books?
How about Ron Paul’s bill (H.R. 2768) to instantly reduce the national debt by 1.6 trillion?

By the way, there is no “tea party leader”. It’s a grass roots movement of people sick of the current system, representing all walks of life… The big-bank controlled mass media has tried to put a face on it to categorize them – that’s why you think Michelle Bachman is the “leader”. Whatever.
I’m with ya here Jason. After graduating college a majority of my friends were pissed off at the government and college for not giving them a job. They were pissed because they thought they deserved something. During college I had started a business and have been trying to create more for friends. I’ve even paid a few of my friends $10 per hour to help me with doing stuff in the business. I haven’t gotten to the point where I can hire them full-time but I ultimately would love to get to the point where I’m providing jobs for people and helping them make good money.
Keep doing what you’re doing man, you’re sincere and truly are a leader.
Hi Jason, I totally agree with you the money has not gone any were its still there you just have to proved good value to people and the money will come.
I don’t think the down term has affected the internet sales if anything the internet and online sales are growing so people like internet marketers should now worry 🙂
Great post man keep them coming I will bookmark.
PS. I’m on your mailing list
Hey Jason, That was a FANTASTIC video… Thanks for sharing… I own a Engineering Recruitment firm, and I am swamped.. There are TONS of jobs out there.. My Client are begging me for applicable candidates… Please let me know if I can ever serve you/your community in ANY way…. Best to ALL..
The core message is what the Accelerator For Success is all about… Take Responsibility for your own life now. Time to get out of your own comfort zone in life and expand who you are.
Good stuff Jason. I couldn’t agree more that we need to focus on doing what we do, something that helps people better their lives and at the same time get some new leadership in Washington that is focused on rebuilding America and getting it back to the great capitalistic society it once was.
There’s always opportunity if you just keep looking. Many great companies were brought to fruition during the great depression… hell, the game Monopoly was invented then by an OUT OF WORK PLUMBER.
Let the politicians rip each other apart while we build one another up and this country will be great again.
Great video, Jason. Points well delivered and received. I’m continually amazed at all the negativity sprayed all over the news. Sure, there’s a reason for concern with the downgrading of the USA, but we are still a damn fine country. I have a son serving over in Iraq right now representing the US – it’s a shame that our government leaders can’t do a little battle ground service to help them remember what made us Americans.
On another note – it’s hard to pull people living in the “poor and poverty” mindset out unless they experience something different personally. Some folks simply don’t want to better themselves because it takes genuine work ethic and a change in thinking. Handouts instead of handups have hampered any progress.
What do Real Patriots do to help our economy would be a real good question.
Buy products that are made in America and quit sending or shall I say transferring the US dollars over seas.
Quit burning dollars buy not driving as much.
These are two simple practices that I am doing.
Well Spoken Jason. It’s such a great thing to hear, even for a guy from Norway;-)
Hey Mo.Most of us will finger point anyway. That’s sad.
Thank you for your candor and willingness to help others
and take action to give to the economy.
I think it’s going to be interesting with a different type
of business world. I’m finally embracing it.
This is exactly how politicians and bureaucrats should think. Thanks Jason
Well said Jason!
Well said Jason – thanks! I would like to see more of the so-called IM gurus quit outsourcing jobs overseas and hire more people in this country.I realize hiring cheap overseas labor helps their bottom line (they even brag about it) but it would be helpful if they would hire locally.
Great advice, I like your mo-jo, Mo*Fo!

C’mon, Jason…the world will probably still be here in the morning. Your dinner’s getting cold…drink your tea. G’nite.
This video is 1 of the many reasons i’m glad i am on your list.
Great video, and totally agree almost with everything you said. I’ll be sharing this video around with my list, along with a few more.
Thanks.
Another great post from JMO. This entitlement society has to change or else we will be going the Greece route pretty soon.
I agree with you. We need to throw out all of these imbeciles from Washington, including President finger pointer.
This was a very good speech. But you know, you can fix an old damaged something (the old economy in this case), but one day you have to replace this something with a new something. The new economy is already there, but the masses still want to hold on to the old damaged system. I have a PhD in economics. Already 20 years ago the old laws of economics did not fully work out anymore. It is the same in physics, where the old laws of physics are replaced my new once. – Things DO CHANGE, but most people are not eager to go through changes.
