Dylan Ratigan: 'Greedy Bastards' Pt. 1

An entire banking system fueled by corruption and greed went unchecked by the government, and pulled a massive heist on the American people. The problem is we see the same tactics used by corporations and systems across the spectrum, in the words of our guest tonight, sucking America dry like vampires. Dylan Ratigan, host of MSNBC's The Dylan Ratigan Show joins the show to talk about his new book "Greedy Bastards".

CORRECTION ALYONA--

The heist didn't "go unchecked" by government, it was facilitated by government. It is of great importance that people understand this!!

and I care not who makes its laws"--Mayer Amshell Rothschild, "I am a most unhappy man, I have unwittingly ruined my country, we have come to be one of the worst ruled one of the most completely controlled govt's in the civilized world, no longer a gov't of free opinion, no longer a gov't by a vote of the majority, but a gov't under the opinion and duress of a small group of dominate men. Some of the biggest in the US, in the field of commerce and manufacture are afraid of something, They know

@xadam2dudex

What you said is exactly why i support Ron Paul in the 2012 election-- even if i don't agree with everything he says. But the massive overreaches of executive power must stop. The special-interest group political games must stop... and only when we chop the Federal gov't down to size can we begin anew.

The systemic corruption can only be fixed/mitigated by weakening the bureaucratic power concentrated in Washington, then Americans can find the best way moving forward.

@bobshenix yes I know.. I never believed in that theory that the president was picked by the elite until Obama...his record in congress was such that u had no idea what he stood for...he was totally manufactured..even the anti-Obama hype is manufactured to divide society...the last real president was Kennedy...the technology now is in place to put anybody they want into office no more messy business like with Bush jr..the voting machines r rigged

@xadam2dudex

I think it's naive to think Obama came out of nowhere like he did without being a "crony" on this inside of the establishment. Think about it... a junior senator who nobody knew -- but whose skin color attracted a LOT of attention subsequently -- drawing gigantic contributions from Wall Street while convincing EVERYBODY that he was the "Change we can believe in".

Goldman Sachs was his biggest contributor for a reason. Look at what's going on under his administration!!

[xadam2dudex]

beginning at 7:25 Ratigan states what real progressives have been feeling since Obama revealed himself to be nothing more than a new face to the same corrupt elite agenda...we will never know if he was bought before getting into office or after but bought he was..he betrayed everyone who voted for him and even the rest of the world who thought there was going to be a new hope in internationals US relations

[xadam2dudex]

@TheGoat1954 president Paul would put the last nail in the coffin of the US by destroying what is left of the only thing that stands between the wealthy corporate elite and the rest of the world

[xadam2dudex]

@bobshenix it was facilitated by the corrupt corporate insiders acting in the name of the government ...people need to understand that ...put a corporate insider into the position of power and they manipulate the system for the benefit of their real masters

President Paul , could use a new Sec. of Treasury .Radigan .
