we're goodThis video comes from a whole lot of commentsthat I've gotten on past videosthat have to do with the government, government regulationswhich are all coming from more sothis whole dynamic that occurred withthe GameStop short squeeze,and then you had Robinhood do restrictionsand other brokers, and then you had politicianscoming out and just basically bashing Robinhood and all thiswhich made me create some videos aboutwait a second politicians,you know, that's a little hypocritical on your part,and like I said I've done those videos,but within those videos, and it's more than valid,it's actually, it's accurate,so it's not even really an opinion,it's a fact of the matter,is that well you know, big money controls politicians.Big money is doing this, they're manipulating,and they're able to manipulatebecause they have politicians in their pocket,and you know it just goes back to lobbying, right?That's just, that's what happens in Washington D.C.You have lobbyists, you have peoplethat are going, using money to influence politicians.And this is something where I hope,in theory in my mind at leastthere shouldn't be any fightsthat break out in the comments sectionbecause no matter where you're at on the political spectrum,as far as I can see,everybody is like no, lobbying is a joke,lobbying is, there's a reason why politiciansenter Washington D.C. with a net worthmuch less than what they leave Washington D.C. with.So I think we can all agree that lobbying is no good,lobbying is a massive problem within the government,within the political sphere.Like I said, it doesn't matter who you support,I think we can all agree that is a massive issue.So just because I like to think things through,and there's a lot of you,viewers that give good constructive thoughts,I mean we might not always agree,but at least it's constructive,it's not Clay, you're stupid.It's like okay that was really intelligent,that's really a good way to make a conversation.But I just want to throw this out here,and again you can let me know your thoughts below,agree, disagree, that's totally fine.But like I said,I think these are good conversations to have,I think these are thingsthat the general population should just think throughand consider,I'm not saying agree with,but at least consider,because that's what's gonna actually make progressin this crazy crazy world we're living in.But let's just break down this whole idea of lobbying.And the question becomes okay,well let's just go step by step.What are lobbyists doing?Well lobbyists you have here,and they're the people with all the money right?And lobbyists are gonna go,and who do they talk to right?They talk to this group of people up here,and who are these people?Well these people are the politicians.So nothing, nothing complicated here right?People with the money go and talk to them, influence them,try to get them to put certain things into place,and they're just, they're a problem right?Now you can always argue,well if you have a certain set of beliefsthen you probably don't mind those lobbyiststhat are arguing for that set of beliefs.But that's a two sided coin right?That's a double edged sword,because there's other beliefs that you don't agree withbut there's also people out there lobbying for that.So then it boils down to well who's got the bigger money?And it just becomes a big game of money right?Money and politics, nothing new here.So the question now becomes all right, well yes,that's what lobbyists are doing,they're taking money,they're trying to influence politicians, but why?And this is where we can start to I think fix things,in my mind it makes sense.But why are they doing that?Well because politicians have this,power.Politicians have power to do a whole lot of stuff,this is not rocket science in my head,I'm not trying to come acrosslike I'm sort of political genius, but they have the power.So because the people with the money are smart,if they want things in their favor,if they want decisions made that will help them,where are they gonna go?Well they're gonna go to where the power iswhich happens to be the politicians.But what if we did this?What if we, instead said you know what,yeah, thanks but no thanks,what if we made less government?Less government, got government out of the way,got government out of our lives?In other words took power away from the government,and dropped power to this.Us, right, to the people.Like you know what, let's do less governmentwhich therefore, by definition,decreases the power that politicians haveand because we have less government,that means that the power goes to the people.Now what is that going to do?Well that's not gonna stop the lobbyists,but it's gonna have to make themdirect their attention elsewhere,and where are the lobbyistsnow gonna direct their attention to?Well they're gonna go right to us.I think that's good,that's how a market's supposed to work.You want me to think, you want me to behave,you want me to do something with my money that I've earned?Okay, convince me.So okay well, they're gonna have to go and,now I'm not saying they're gonna knock on my doorand be like hey Clay,no they're gonna do this through the,well they go the old fashioned way.They're gonna have to offer good products, good services,they're gonna have to make reasons,they're gonna have to make valid pointson why things should be.They're gonna have to earn your business.They're gonna have to earn your trust.They're gonna have to convince youby again, product services to behave a certain way.Why, well because you have the power.They can't just go to the power of politiciansand be like hey, put this regulation in placeand then that's just gonna benefit usso it doesn't really matter what the people thinkbecause they're gonna have to use our product.They're gonna have to do this,they're gonna have to do thatbecause well, you're gonna make them do itthrough the regulation.But you get that stuff out of the wayand you make them have to earn it the old fashioned wayof hey I want you to behave this waybut I can't just put a regulation on you,so you know what,I'm gonna have to actually earn your trust.I'm gonna have to do something,I'm gonna have to provide value to you in some waythat's gonna get you to behavein the way that I want you to behave.So I mean maybe I'm missing something here,maybe I'm overlooking something,but to me, if you want to fix lobbying,if you want to fix money in the government,well you have to address why are they evengoing to the government in the first place?Because the government has all the power.But if you take away the power,if you shrink the government,if you get the government out of the way,they're gonna have a whole lot less power.And when you have less power,well then these people are not idiots,they're gonna go to where the power is,and if it's us, perfect.Make them do it the old fashioned wayto get us to behave, to believe, whateverhowever they want us to behave.So like I said, let me know about your comments to me,I think that's a good fix to government.I think that's a very very big step in the right directionto fix this whole lobbying problem.And like I said, whether you agree or disagreelet me know down below.For full disclosure's sake,this will be a video where I have business to run,I have trading to do, I have a family,as much as I would love to probably getsome good political, theoretical debatesin the comments section,I just don't have the time to do that.So no matter what you replyI am just gonna reply with thanks for watching,thanks for the thoughts,something in that vain,but I unfortunately, just for me to be ableto continue on with what I take pride in doing,and that is reading and replying to all comments,I will read the replies yes,but I can't sit there and start to go downsome sort of rabbit hole with you.As much as I truly would,I mean there's only 24 hours in a day,and no offense to you,but I'd rather spend my time with my kidsthan arguing with a random stranger on YouTubeno matter how constructive it may be,it's just, you gotta kind of pick and choose your battles.But like I said, I still do wanna know your thoughts,so please leave those down below,and like I said, constructive criticism,am I missing something here?But like I said the premise is simple,lobbyists exist becausethey want to make certain things possible.And in order to make those things possible,they have to go to where the power is.Where is the power, the government.But if you reduce the government,if you take power away from the governmentto give it back to the people,well then now they have to go to the peopleand as I said, do it the old fashioned way.So those are my thoughts, let me know down below,and thanks for at least just hearing me out,but I'm curious to hear,curious to see what you think about thisdown in the comments section.First off, thanks so much for watching the entire video.Real quick, before you go,I wanna invite you to a live webinar,web class, training, workshop, online event,whatever you wanna call itbut it will be me, live, revealing to youwhat I've discovered that has allowed meto transform myself from being an employeeto being my own boss,including how I had only one losing dayout of 73 days in total.I'm gonna cover three keysthat have helped me unlock profitable consistencywithin the markets.The first key is super weird,but in a productive type of way.The second key is super awesomebecause it quite literally is wired into our DNA as humans,making it very easy to use,but, in a cruel way this becomes a pitfall for many traders,I'll explain it all though,including how to avoid the pitfallthat it creates for some.And yeah, the third key, when you hear it,sounds way too good to be true,but it's not, and I'll show you how it all works.Then, at the end, I open it upfor a question and answer sessionthat is, again, totally live.Even if you can't make the live session,please still sign up as it will be recordedand you can go back and watch the replaythat I will send you.Click the image on the screenor click the link down in the description boxso you can get the date and time and claim your spotwhich I should note is limiteddue to the fact that this truly is a live event.If you have any questions, let me know,if not,
