I mentioned a few days back that the American Enterprise Institute had put together a contest for the best short video showing the moral case for free enterprise. They have now announced the winners.
This one – The Joke of the Day – only came in third but I really liked it. If you would like to see the video that actually won and the runner up, in fact all of them, you can go here to the AEI website. Defending free enterprise, not just as a system that delivers the goods but also as the most moral and ethical system ever devised to provide for our material welfare, is an even greater necessity today than it has ever been.
I would have preferred the Joke of the Day video too. But I guess you gotta schmaltz it up if you want to win a video comp…
Chicken coupe – that’s my type of humour – now if I can only manage to remember it…….
I think they chose the right winner. Brilliant video, great visuals, superb words. e.g. “Free enterprise does not care about the colour of your skin” or words to that effect.
I like the videos, thanks for the link Steve.
I found the winner effective seeing there was real parallels to my parents story as migrants. Where Joke of the Day hits it for one audience, the winner hits it for others.
