“The Decline and Fall of the American Health Care System”
The talk will begin with a brief history regarding the principal
causes of rising health care costs and decreasing access to health
care, beginning with changes in the tax code and the McCarran-Ferguson
Act dating back to the 1940s. It will then discuss how “Obamacare”
actually takes us from a dysfunctional health care system to a
non-functional health care system. Efforts underway to repeal or
eliminate Obamacare will be reviewed. Finally, short-term solutions
that small businesses can employ in an effort to mitigate some of the
more egregious effects Obamacare will have on their business will be
mentioned.

The Greatest Threat to Freedom (besides the Federal Reserve)
The state of Freedom in America is clearly under
attack on all fronts, but what besides the Federal Reserve is the single
greatest threat? Join Gary Franchi at this year’s Freedom Summit as he
delivers the message and reveals the actions, agencies and legislation
working against the constitution and the American People.

The End of America: The Coming deSovietization of These United States
I
am pessimistic about the survival of the present political apparatus
formally known as the United States of America. It is crumbling by
every measure and unsustainable on its present course. I offer this as
a cautionary tale written before the emerging Black Swan event. Most
of these narratives are written after the devastation has occurred. I
will talk about the curious parallels between the USA and the USSR in
the 20th century and why our end will come just as rapidly and just as
badly as it did for the USSR in 1989. I will go on to offer some
recommendations to prepare for the inevitable.
| 11:00 am to Noon |
A radical view of property: why your parents, teachers, friends, and all institutions got it all wrong.

"How to go on the offensive"
(without being offensive!)
So often liberty activists get cast role of solving the problems
thrown at us by others - "who will build the roads?" - Stefan
Molyneux of Freedomain Radio will show you how to turn this around, and get
people to start answering their own questions, rather than just throwing up
endless objections...
Powerful ideas for all lovers of personal and political freedom -
Freedomain Radio is the largest and most popular philosophy show on the
web, and was a Top 10 Finalist in the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Podcast Awards. Topics range from politics to philosophy to science to economics to relationships to atheism - and how to achieve real freedom in your life today. Passionate, articulate, funny and
irreverent, Freedomain Radio shines a bold light on old topics, and
invents a few new ones to boot!
---
I am Stefan Molyneux, the host of Freedomain Radio. I have been a
software entrepreneur and executive, co-founded a successful company and
worked for many years as a Chief Technical Officer. I studied
literature, history, economics and philosophy at York University, hold
an undergraduate degree in History from McGill University, and earned a
graduate degree from the University of Toronto, focusing on the history
of philosophy. I received an 'A' for my Master's Thesis analyzing the
political implications of the philosophies of Immanuel Kant, G.W.F.
Hegel, Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. I also spent two years studying
writing and acting at the National Theatre School of Canada.
I have been fascinated by philosophy - particularly moral theories -
since my mid-teens. I left my career as a software entrepreneur and
executive to pursue philosophy full time through my work here at
Freedomain Radio. I have written a number of novels as well as many free
books on philosophy.
In my podcasts and videos, I try to avoid opinions, and instead talk
about proof and rationality. If the theories I propose are reasonable,
and are supported by evidence, well and good, we have both learned
something. If not, listeners such as you are quick to point out errors,
which I receive with gratitude. This approach is fundamentally different
from most "talk shows." I am a rigorous philosopher, and I will always
bow to reason and evidence.
The only freedom is freedom from illusion...
