haha,,, it's pretty funny a snake oil salesman selling "ism" to the people to magically give them everything in life they want and the "ism" corporation will take care of their every need, all they need to do is sign a paper giving away their freedom.... everyone is about to sign when one guy "John Q Public" actually ready the "bill" they are about to sign.... Very prophetic to today and how "John Q Public" is speaking up to get congress and the senate to read the "bill" before signing away all our freedom.
It's a neat little video, but the real world is a bit more complicated. And the comment about US regulation driving our industry away is only somewhat true as there are many factors.
I generally lean toward libertarian principals, but also believe some government regulation has been an asset towards free market growth and the health of the people.
The specter of government intrusion should be a test by which to judge, and not a tool to divide. Our government has been and will always be a work in progress run best in a state of balance.

Can we identify and address the "somewhat true" stuff?

This sounds very Lincolnesque, except Lincoln's stuff was a bit more simply and directly stated, ergo, easier to understand.

I kinda don't think we're "in a state of balance" now. One party totally rules. How, by the way, can we tell when we are "in balance" when the fulcrum (center of balance) progressively shifts to the left?
We're actually increasingly moderate, but republicans refuse to step to the center. The future of the rep party is dependant on Obama failing. If he has success without republican support, the party could very well morph into two parties - one half unbending, the other willing to moderate. It would not be the first time a political party came apart.
It's better to bend and get half of what you want than to be stubborn and get nothing.
you have to define success. With some of his key legislation, he may succeed, but the tax burden he puts on this country will turn voters against him.
I think his fate comes down to too things, Afghanistan and the economy. One he has control over, the other he can only make worse.
