I had not heard of the author-Hedrick Smith-but I've rarely heard as concise an explanation-well documented-abouty how Corporations have destroyed the middle class...

I've always said-this was no accident where we are today-it was on purpose. I guess I've found a b-day gift for my Republican Brother...

1. The American dream has never been anything more than a theoretical narrative...

Used by the rich and powerful to distract the subjugated.

It is a farce.

2. I don't call access to good jobs & living wages a farce-go elswhere...

If you don't get that its a general concept not some fanatsy..

3. Will definitely watch it.

Smith has been on the international scene for a long time. I read his book "The Russians" back in the late 70s. Having lived and written quite a bit on life in Soviet Russia gives him a little extra credibility when it comes to comparing and understanding economic systems, IMO.

Thanks for posting!
