Bernie Sanders - A Thousand Cuts

[Donkees]

[font color="#330000"]Uploaded on Jul 14, 2011
On June 18, 2011 artists Ligorano/Reese presented a temporary monument in the garden of Jim Kempner Fine Art in NYC called "Morning In America." The installation was witnessed by hundreds and lasted a total of 8 hours throughout the hot day.

...A THOUSAND CUTS is a timelapse video of the event. The soundtrack was inspired by an excerpt from Senator Bernie Sanders 8 hour filibuster on the U.S. Senate floor against the extension of the Bush tax cuts and the effects on the middle class. It is orchestrated to music by composer/violinist Michael Galasso.

Special Thanks
Dru Arstark, Anthony Caputo, Dan Walworth, Okamoto Studio, Postworks NY

The entire text of Senator Sanders speech is available as a book, published by Nation Books, The Speech: A Historic Filibuster on Corporate Greed and the Decline of Our Middle Class

10. SHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh! Don't tell the platform committee they missed something.

They get cranky when they're reminded who it is that actually votes.

13. Mike Papantonio: "It's Class Genocide Now - The Class War Is Over"

The middle class has zero influence in legislation, but they still have to pay our nation's bills.

I mean the bills that get paid, and not put on the credit card.
