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.

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?

@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.

@CapnCanard100% in aggreement with you. I would add that Reagan's administration should be described more accurately as a reaction than a revolution.

@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.

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.
