Yes, I am happy that someone has the intelligence and the balls to speak the truth about what is happening to our political system. I hope his message is contagious before it is too late. Speak out or become further enslaved.

Such an important video! Especially since the crisis in the Gulf of Mexico! Why oil spills, arms trade, private prisons and sick people are the structures for growth in the current "Kinder Fascist State" that America has become. Economy grows by consuming social and environmental wealth 'til there is no Planet! Corporations have human rights and humans have lost out!

Two dynamic speakers, excellent summary, how to legalize Democracy and restore human values. Bookmark, watch & post discuss!

It's not only USA! Where in the world do we have democracy?! Mostly I would say in switzerland, they REALLY can vote for certain questions with YES or NO and can start initiatives on their own!

Here in Germany it's all the same. Media tells the primitive people how to vote and which parties are "dangerous".

And it's right, the initiative must come from the PEOPLE, not only USA, EVERYWHERE!

the beginning of his speech makes me want to weep. I too thought America stood for freedom, only to watch Reagan in the 80's support terrorists, dictators and openly oppose democracy and workers around the world. Then i learned about the corporate structure of "our" country, and the truth has been awfully revealed to me

Abolishing Corporate Personhood is the first step towards getting control back for the people , it was stolen by corporate lawyers who manipulated the slavery laws to give corporation human like rights , truly a nefarious transaction , God Bless you Mike , your a extraordinary person .

A tiger with no teeth ...

Money rules until an explicite destruction of the system. There's no way to work from within the system to change it.

[MzProgressive]

@qminusis Certainly not when the fox guards the hen house - - but if the fox gets muzzled.... then what? PUBLICLY FUNDED ELECTIONS would put a muzzle on corporate speech. No?

[TheVampirella]

The United States of America is not a democracy - we are a constitutional representative Republic!!!

[nadoop]

In theory.

[navtel]

americans still believe the bullsh*t and wave the flag and cover their eyes with it. how pathetic..  americans need to wake up and bring their government under control.. it will be too late soon. there is no democracy as the word suggests.. if there was we would not be still in iraq and afghanistan.. thanks barrack..
