Bill Moyers calls out politicians. Boom!

[Are_grits_groceries]

Let's name this for what it is: Democratic deviancy defined further downward. Our politicians are little more than money launderers in the trafficking
of power and policy - fewer than six degrees of separation from the spirit and tactics of Tony Soprano.

The Patriot’s Dream? Arlo Guthrie, remember? He wrote could be the unofficial anthem of Zucotti Park. Listen up:
Living now here but for fortune
Placed by fate's mysterious schemes
Who'd believe that we're the ones asked
To try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

Arise sweet destiny, time runs short
All of your patience has heard their retort
Hear us now for alone we can't seem
To try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

Can you hear the words being whispered
All along the American stream
Tyrants freed the just are imprisoned
Try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

Ah but perhaps too much is being asked of too few
You and your children with nothing to do
Hear us now for alone we can't seem
To try to rekindle the patriot's dreams

Journalist Bill Moyers was the keynote speaker at the 40th anniversary celebration of Ralph Nader's Public Citizen. In his speech, Moyers discusses the Occupy Wall Street movement and chronicles the history of America's middle class.
