The Corporate Takeover of America - Pt. 1

The stimulus packages and bailouts that the government has been a little too willing to hand over to our financial industries have not only given these giants more cash in their pockets, but they've also given these companies unprecedented power over our federal government. No other industry has been able to show up in Washington and get a blank check with no oversight, which really shows just who is in charge in our nation's capitol. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of Air America's Ring of Fire talks about this shift in power with Rolling Stone political correspondent Matt Taibbi.

Matt Taibi is just about the most brilliant journalist in the US. I love it whenever he's a guest on any show.

Instead of bailing out banks and bankers, he should have nationalized them until they could straighten out and then re-privatize them. Let the risk taking bankers fail and go bankrupt. What Obama has done through his staff is spend a LOT of money and not fixed the underlying problem of re-regulation. I'm a big Obama supporter, worked for him and contributed to his campaign but his actions on this front were very ill advised, IMO.

Watch this video as I have predicted & documented the corporate makeover of the NYC Landscape. This didn’t happen overnight!

“The Urban Eye” Fits in with the OCCUPY WALL STREET movement "Join your host Jerry Rio as he takes you on a nostalgic tour as he explores the disappearing icons of this metropolis and find out what New Yorkers think about unchecked development and the corporate homogenization that has altered and destroyed much of the uniqueness of the New York City landscape"

@toosinbeymen Really? Is that such a surprise considering his staff is from Wall Street.

Have you ever considered why filthy banking interests and U.S. government interests are the same? Because they are controlled by the same people.People move from the corporate world to the private world like there is no conflict of interest,like it is a moral thing to do.Are you blinded by the Obama spell still?

you make a good point about the insanity of wanting to bring in a greater evil to attack the current criminals. But don't you its dreaming to think that the course could be altered (let alone fixed) by average people making their voice heard when it is very clear that the most powerful institutions in america are on the side of corruption and becoming more so?

What do you have in mind to take america off its course toward evil? protests?

Are you an idiot? So you are willing to vote for White Nationalists because you are angry with what is going on within our government?

So instead of trying to fix the broken system and stand up and make your voice heard and fight for the principles that this country was founded on such as truth, justice, and freedom; you would become a White Nationalist?

There are many of us angry with all the lies, crime, and corruption in our government. With people like you, White Nationalists win.

At this point I'm willing to vote for a Neo-Nazi if he promises to kill all Goldman Sachs employees and nuke Wall Street just for the good measure. TIME FOR A FUCKING REVOLUTION.
