  1. A suggestion to the editor(s) of videos like this: If the presenter isn't contributing anything to the interview or conversation, please don't show her/him just sitting there nodding his/her head. It looks foolish.

  2. Here in the US, as long as our tax code allows for various deductions, write-offs, and the like, it won't matter what the tax rate on individuals or businesses is.

  3. I could be wrong, but I don't think there's a strong independence movement in Wales, at least in comparison to Scotland.

  4. UK voters are voting for their Parliamentary representatives, not a head of state.

  5.  @IkeOkerekeNews  It doesn't matter who suggested it, it won't accomplish its goal in the US as long as our tax code remains the same.

  6. 4:46 -- BBC and ITV already launched a joint streaming platform about a couple of years ago. It's called Britbox.

  7. Editing would be too expensive. I'm sure it's just makeup.

  8. +Dee Cee If I remember what I've heard correctly, once you've renounced your US citizenship, it takes going through a lot of hoops to regain it. Someone who has renounced her citizenship wouldn't just be able to say, "Oopsie, I changed my mind," at the first sign of trouble and become American again.

  9.  @RH-cv1rg  First question: Yes. Second question: All of them. If business owners can't run their companies without being reimbursed by the federal government, then perhaps they should find another way to earn a living.

  10. +UnKnOwN Mini I'd check with the countries you're interested in to see what is required for you to move there and become a citizen. You don't want to renounce your US citizenship unless you've already obtained citizenship in another country.

  11. +UnKnOwN Mini If I had to permanently move to one of those countries you mentioned, I'd go with Singapore. One of its official languages is English and, at the risk of sounding like an arrogant American, it seems Westernized enough that I would have an easier time adapting to the society and culture there.

  12. +Dee Cee Fair enough. 🙂

  13. Because the US isn't an authoritarian state, as much as certain groups like to whine and moan otherwise.

  14.  @darkzeroprojects4245  True.

  15. How do you propose paying for the military then?

  16. The only one of those scenarios I can't see happening at this point is someone having a mask that is so realistic that it could fool a facial recognition sensor.

  17. Here in the US, it won't work as long as rich people can take advantage of numerous deductions and loopholes to reduce their tax liability.

  18. @Balram Trivedi: I wonder if you'd feel the same if a significant number of people gave that $100 to a party who had views and goals that would negatively affect you or your loved ones?

  19. Like Trump and Sanders' accountants don't use every legal deduction and loophole to make sure their clients pay as little Federal income tax as they can manage.

  20. I suspect that the British Royals consume about the same amount of food per day as anyone else.

  21. I got a KFC ad before this video. 😀

  22. The reason why Amazon and other large corporations manage to pay little or no federal taxes in the US is due to all the currently legal business deductions and loopholes they use. Until American politicians get serious about getting rid of or capping those, nothing will change.

  23. I got a Burger King ad before this video. 😁

  24. The English language service of Radio Exterior de España also refers to Spain's head of government as the Prime Minister.

  25. @Mikes Karaoke: The outside of the TARDIS doesn't resemble a telephone booth, it resembles a police box.
