The Game: Wall Street's Robber Barons Declare War on American Workers

Wall Streets robber barons have declared war on American workers. They close our plants. Ship our jobs overseas. Steal our pensions. Then laugh all the way to their banks -- the banks that we bailed out. These guys are just playing a game with other people's money. They just keep filling their pockets by emptying ours. It is time Wall Street paid its taxes -- to fund an American jobs recovery. Watch the rest of "The Game" then visit http://www.unionofunemployed.com to get involved!

I don't think the Republicans understand how pissed off people are right now, and the typical race-baiting and religion mongering isn't working. People want good-paying, quality jobs. They don't want to be stuck at Wal-Mart, working for minimum wage until they die. So far, all they have done is muck up the works to get themselves re-elected. They will pay at the polls come 2012. Then again, they will probably have the police beat up anyone voting against them like a bunch of fascists.

Explain 30 years of tax cuts for the rich with minimal to no gains and massive decline of current jobs with your understanding of economics. No, Reaganomics failed miserably, continues to fail us on every level, and deregulation has destroyed any barrier to holding jobs in the U.S. Those liberals that you cry about understand more than you ever will about economics. As for your understanding of history, as a degree-holding historian, I find your analysis flawed.

Fascinating how all the posts here accuse one side or the other for being at fault. Both Republicans/Democrats, Conservatives/Liberals are bought and paid for by the folks that fund their campaigns, no more no less. The tragic irony is that Wall Street funds both sides nearly equally, they don't care who is in office as long as they are beholden to them.

All of the brouhaha between the parties is Kabuki theater for the masses, a trite dog and pony show that means little or nothing in the end.

"There isn't a single liberal/progressive/socialist policy or plan that has ever worked - period."

Makes me wonder why Western Europe does so well compared to the 3rd world, when Western Europe has the more liberal/progressive/socialist policies.

"If progressives understood how money is created and how it flows - along with some basic knowledge of history - well, they'd probably be conservatives...."

So why did Soros, Gates and Buffett (among others) push for Obama?

@Orchard6773 Are you stating that China (yes, Hong Kong is in China) is a more business friendly place than the US, then bashing the left? Hahahahaha

Outstanding video - sums it up nicely and points the finger directly where it needs to be pointed: at the politicians in Washington who condone and enable the Corporate CEO's and Wall Street banksters to continue their tax-dodging ways!

Excellent video; extremely creative and clever. Only wish the other half of the country would get the message -- not to mention our legislators and our president.

The biggest piece of bull s$it that I have seen yet.90% of the posters here I would not give A job to in the first place.

If you want to know how the powers that be get away with this, Google "Why does the government ignore our wishes?"

As one individual who has "over-qualified" for years, and without a job since 2006, I am incredibly sick and tired of anyone who is willing to sacrifice the AMERICAN workers and decimate the Middle Class. These ILLUMINATI are killing AMERICA, and they have come like a thief in the night and stolen from all of us. I could sense what was going on a long time ago, as I am still owed $20,000 + from a government contractor who absconded with the money and wrote me bad checks. NO ONE will help!

I'd LOVE to see Wall Street taken out of existence. Then things would improve.
