'Richard Wilkinson: How economic inequality harms societies ' on youtube
Listen everyone. The Oligarchs are very close to having total domination of our planet and all it's inhabitants. Meaning we are in the beginning stages of Global Governance. They have even stated this on T.V. They kinda threw that in when you weren't paying attention. The U.S. is a Corporation and has been for quite a long time. Forget about the democrats and republicans. We need to face the magnitude of the situation here unless you want to lose all your freedoms completely.
@angelbe88 They already control the money supply, energy, military, education, and are currently working on the food. It's time to face the truth. Leave the false paradigm behind and stand for freedom.
This is America now, Corporate greed. They do it right in front of us and don't care what or how it effects the poor and middle class. This is an attack from within our country and we have EVERY RIGHT to defend ourselves from this form of tyranny. If your viewing this video, you obviously care and are upset, pass it on to the young adults now, let them see for themselves.
"Then the remedy was a popular insurgency that ignited the spark of democracy,
now we've come to another parting of the ways, and once again the fate and character of our country are up to grabs. Democracy only works when we claim it as our own."
And I wish he spoke about my country with the same words. Indeed I wish he spoke about the whole world, But isn't the fate and character of ours always up for grabs?
Well Said Bill. Its good to listen to someone who is articulate and not speaking out in anger. Not that we shouldn't be angry, its a normal reaction to getting screwed. Get mad, get over it, move on (Colin Powell). Then get active. It's the only way to stop this pervasiveness that exists. There is strength in numbers. These persons perptrating this are so blind with greed they starting to screw with the people that were paid to protect them like Cops and Firefighters, this could back fire.

More people need to view this and understand what America has come to. Benito Mussolini once said that Fascism should most rightly be called Corporatism since it is the merger of corporations and the state. How sad that so many ppl don't realize what their dumb voting decisions are doing to this country and the world!
@mrkinnc its because idiots are busy watching to Bieber and Lady Gaga instead of knowing the bigger picture, anyway, in my country and society, i'm part of the 10% :)
the other 90% usually stay there because of their own pride and ignorance.
The 1% actually tries to help the 90%, but the 90% just love spending more than they earn and fall for quick expenses.
Republicans and democrats work for the same people and it's not you or 90 percent of the population. Anyone who might happen to win an election with the attitude that they are for the people have an attitude adjustment once they reach Washington.
If America doesn't realize that our current economic policies are a disaster soon, we will follow the same pro-industrial downfall the Roman Empire fell under at the end if their reign.
We need a Revolution of Politeness and Positive Attitude. The people who understand this problem can out-class the crazed wing-nuts in behavior every time. Let the bullies look as stupid and vicious as they are. We mustn't empower that Operating Style by adopting it ourselves. Let's have a Revolution of Classy Behavior, and take our Economy back and save the middle class. Someone much smarter than me can take hold of this & make it happen....Articulate it for us! Show us a plan!
How the conservatives can get the working class to vote against their best interest time and again is sheer manipulative genius. They have crushed the unions, health care... etc. Say goodbye to Social Security. Jesus was a lover... Not a fighter. They would have you believe he had an assault rifle mounted to the roof of his Hummer. Oh, Wait....
Moyers has always been on our side... I totally agree with his assessment. This stuff seems to have really picked up speed in 1980 with the Reagan Revolution, a major disaster for all working men/women/families in America. Karl Rove and company have driven the bus into the ditch. There is no America anymore, this is the United States of the Wealthy.
Now why don't we have a tea party? Why don't we have an angry, frustrated people that are as passionate as the conservative bozos rallying for our interests? I see it as the conservatives are the classic angry all-american southerners of the 50's and the liberals are the care-free hippies of the 60's and 70's. I think we have to adopt something from the conservatives. Get angry and PUSH! Push for those corrupt faceless ASSHOLES to do what WE the EDUCATED want! Threaten Obama and the democrats!
There is something we don't get. There is something the right wing is excellent at doing and that we liberals just cannot do. Take action. It doesn't matter what the action is for nor whether it's even reasonable or not. These bozo conservatives on their tea parties and their evangelical churches have something to teach us. They know how to rally a cause. Where did the tea party come from? No where.It just appeared from the prejudice and bullshit that was fed to them since they were born.(cont.)
Do we have the fortitude to step up and prevent the economic polarization of our nation? The people still have the power but it is being diluted each day that goes by. Haven't you had enough, or are you content with watching as the middle class slowly fades into financial obscurity?
@AlaricBalth The muels of the military wont let that happen. Neither will the police force. Your surrounded by barbed wire im afraid. The only person that can ignite a change is your president. Lets just hope he doesnt vanish as JFK did
@AlaricBalth The problem is that we have had democracy drilled into our heads as the most powerful tool we have. But since these diabolical entities have seized the media along with the government infrastructure, they control information, and as such, voting tendencies. Read Orwell's 1984 again and pay close attention to "Newspeak" and its purpose. Complex social and economic issues have all been reduced to buzzwords that repeated hypnotically, negating reason.
Yes, Citigroup, in my opinion is nothing more than a criminal enterprise (sounds like Glenn Beck, doesn't it) because the banks have entrapped and enslaved every retail establishment through the use of plastic, credit cards. They snare a large percentage of the smaller merchants profits. Air Miles is a fraud and should be investigated by the government. More than 20 billion air miles are unredeemed, and more than likely 90% of them are unredeemable.
By the 1890s corporations were pushing too many Americans too hard and sparked a progressive movement which peaked in the 1960s. Then we began to slide backward. Some of us thought Obama was the start of another revolution but we were wrong. We may have to wait longer. We'll need more Bill Moyers.
Yesterday I watched his show for the first time and ironically it turn out to be his last episode. I sat there glued to the tv the whole time, which hasn't happened to me while watching pbs. Both of the interviews were facinating. Then after it ended I thought about how much publicity larry king's 25th anniversary is getting compared to this 23 year old show that left quietly. Sadly I guess that's the price when your not working for a corporate owned news channel.
Thank you Mr. Moyer for all the past years of the best journalism on television. You'll be missed greatly! I hope to see you shaking it up in US politics.
Our culture, as warped and frustrated as it is, was all the better for your example of the long-forgotten art and science of journalism. I hope we have another like you arise from the ashes of American Democracy, or this "great experiment," begun 234 years ago, is doomed.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR YEARS OF DEDICATED SACRIFICE AND UNSELFISH SERVICE IN PURSUIT OF TRUTH AND JUSTICE FOR THE GOOD OF HUMANITY! Doesn't it bother you when FOX and FRIENDS refer to the 'Liberal Media" or call someone in our government, a LEFT-LEANING-LIBERAL? The Left they talk about, a long way to the RIGHT of any rational view of "CENTER"! Nobody in the News Media or Government is LIBERAL enough for my tastes; Who will represent LIBERALS and SANITY, now that BILL MOYERS has stepped down?
We will truly miss you, Bill Moyers.
