guru Jim Rogers.
At one point, Rogers noted that about half of
Americans lived in households who were getting direct payments from the
federal government, a situation he felt made real political change next
to impossible.
"Fifty percent of the country is getting a free
lunch, said Gillespie, "but nobody wants a shit sandwich anymore. And
that's what you're getting in terms of education, health care and
retirement."
Moderated by conference organizer Mark Skousen, the
panel discussed a wide variety of topics including government spending,
regulation, foreign policy, the drug war, and more.
Held each
July in Las Vegas, Freedom Fest is attended by more than 2,000
limited-government enthusiasts and libertarians. Each year, Reason TV
talks with dozens of activists, speakers, and authors such as David Boaz
of the Cato Institute, economist Peter Boettke, publisher Jeffrey
Tucker, journalist Gene Epstein, legal scholar Randy Barnett, and tax
advocate Grover Norquist. For a playlist of 2013 videos, go here.
