The Money Flows Up (A Song)

Last edited Tue Aug 28, 2012, 06:00 PM - Edit history (1)

Inspired in part by a brief commentary from Bill Moyers in which he writes “America’s corporate and political elites now form a regime of their own, and they are privatizing democracy. All the benefits — the tax cuts, policies, and rewards — flow in one direction: up.”

Thanks for the "like" zeemike. Much appreciated. But in the interest of clarity, "The cost FLOWS down, and the money flows up". Unfortunately, costs never seem to go down.
Cheers,

the cost (of labor) goes down and the money flows up...but it works the same way.
And welcome to DU.

Thanks zeemike,
I see your thinking. Indeed works both ways, and tells the same story. Perhaps a lesson in there... how people can be enriched when they listen to those with a different perspective.
Sing on!
