Lemonade Stand: Consumer Protection Gone Wrong 9:48 minutes
What’s happened to freedom in America? Are there too many laws? Can the average American even know what’s legal and what’s illegal today? This segment looks at several examples of people unknowingly running afoul of the government, including children selling lemonade and Girl Scout cookies in front of their homes, a lobster importer, and people building a home on their own land.
Professional Panhandling: Charity Gone Wrong 8:31 minutes
How can we help those in need? And just who is in need? How do we know? Do people who panhandle really need money to survive? Do our attempts to help people really help them?
Food Police: Regulation Gone Wrong 4:32 minutes
Should people be allowed to eat whatever they want? Even if it’s bad for them? What are the limits on freedom? What are the limits on government power? This segment looks at some regulations on food and asks the question: Is it the role of government to protect me from myself?
Job Creation Gone Wrong 6:02 minutes
Who creates jobs? And who creates jobs the best? Can the government help, or do government attempts to create jobs lead to inefficiencies and waste? Do government regulations help or hinder job creation? This segment looks at job creation and the role of government.
Innovation: Private vs. Public 6:39 minutes
Can politics and politicians solve all our problems? Is government more effective than private enterprise? Can’t we count on the entrepreneurial spirit to innovate and to develop solutions to the problems we face? This segment looks at several entrepreneurial endeavors.
Presentation of the DVD Videos will be followed by group discussion.
