You get an A+ for misrepresenting our founders alleged views on capitalism, when the quotes were about private property.
Nowhere do our founders argue that private property is exempt from controls or that private property is equated with capitalism.
I'd remind you of Alexander Hamilton and/or James Madison comment about men and angels. It is written:
"If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself."
Your video was more extolling feudalism. You use the term "liberty" to suggest it's OK to exploit others without the victims having recourse.
The only partially redeeming aspect of the video was it's call for transparency in government spending. But then the false analogy of comparing one's personal checking account with the government's was used.
How much more bogus can you get than that? However, given your penchant for misrepresenting issues, I'm sure you're resourceful enough to come up with another bogus analogy.
Your analogy was like comparing a glass of water to the ocean.
Overall, you get an F-. You don't even recognize your own economic philosophy, which is nothing more than feudalism. I see why you're so enamored with the feudalistic Cato Institute.
