[thomhartmann]

Dr. Richard Wolff, Democracy At Work, joins Thom Hartmann. The level of inequality in the fast food industry today - and the economy as a whole - is a worrisome sign - and has many economists thinking that the US is entering a new Gilded Age.

1. Richard Wolff is always spot-on. Makes more sense than Wall St & politicians

I wish more in DC and the Fed would listen to him. But they never will. Their owners wouldn't allow it.

2. Very interesting, honest, and thought provoking

basics that underscore the American system, especially in what is many times bannered as a so called “ Too big to fail “ that is actually failing. Thom Hartmann brings to surface the intrinsic values that illustrate the divide about business in America.

However, it is Wall Street and the banking system plus the very important key player, the mainstream media that supports America’s decay. Sad but true even both side of Congress and the Senate have made foolish mistakes that need to be rectified and changed immediately.

From my view history is repeating it-self again, after watching that famous movie with James Stewart “Mister Smith Goes to Congress” truly illustrates the past business of very powerful corrupt political people using the News Papers, radio, television media at that early time. We here at the Democratic Underground have topics that would never radiate into the free space area of the electromagnetic spectrum. Especially cable, and hate radio.

There are many times that I sole search and reflect to see into reasons for all this huge gap of inequity that permeates the system. The oil/ energy industry in particular is not being responsible or sensitive to Americas needs.

An example of the XL pipeline that likely is being used as a resource for the new age boom industrial complex. Now will likely be dominated by Europe where Billionaires gather together to engage in the new economy.

Attached is a link about twelve minute long that describes what I think is the very compelling reason raw material and oil will be used for the new economy in the upcoming electronics industry. This could be an incredible new age with prosperity for many, not only the few.

3. Entering????????

Honey, we have been in it for some time now and are showing the effects. We entered it when Shrub signed the laws doing away with the estate tax and they began taxing income as opposed to capital gains. That is when the surplus dried up (remember when we were running on a surplus). Oh, and doing 2 wars did not help either.
