As George Carlin said it's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it.

We all have these fantasies, that we live in a just, sane, fair nation where we are ruled by democracy and NOT a handful of rich old men. But we have to 1st see reality to change reality.

This video allows us to see it. Thanks for posting.

Excellent video.

And yet, we stand idle while our White House stacks the deck towards the "reality" of this video. I'm selfishly glad I'm in the autumn of my years.

I think the image poster for the video isn't at all representative of the gist of the video, and therefore barely even inclined me to click "play". I'm glad I did, everyone should see this and share it with everyone, not just us, but the poor sheeple that follow the main stream politics, that are now so heavily red, due to both parties tutelage, with more to come apparently.

The deeper and wider the gulf between haves and have-nots, the closer humanity has always come to armed revolution. Never, ever fails. Doesn't always produce the hoped-for results, but it ALWAYS happens. People on the verge of despair can't think clearly. Of all the corporate fleas in the world, at least the Sage of Omaha knows that fat cows give more milk.
