haha registries ls leopold was right on the shows off of the looting of america
how wall street steve a fantasy finance destroyed our jobs pensions and
prosperity at what we can do about it he's also written a blog obama's no
f_d_r_ were no mass
movement let's welcome back
hi extracted and that's great that your so principal of
heavy were csl obama i think
your tell me that he's not as covers f_d_r_ in and not getting a job as i
would come from
while i was really trying to
pitted
to god
not just pointed finger obama but i have to wrap it up look at america
and pay paid it's not living up to that kind of expectation that neither are
weak
uh... what
no less that sort of evidence in thousands i'm not entirely sure i agree
with you this business awhile what was was the worst let's go to the streets
elaine
great obv a dual we've tried to do it n
the world but i'm very much
so i'm asking the question of why are you these yet
look at it that way
there must be how many people right now working in progressive organization
non-profits all over the country young activists called active
middling actively ten thousand eddie leading happens
were on gauge in our own little activity
and we have a real-life yet there are a little activity took going nowhere
because we didn't know i realized that
like this now i realize that at that time because we didn't build the
puppetry pot fifty party emerged
tactic that believe
gridlock
uh... the congress
and we're not going to get anything that we want black goodbye global warming
could buy health care reform and we're going to get the both watered down our
financial reform
i think what duit
if you'd let me tell you why because he's so as i read your article and i was
thinking about so why were the
vicki bag guys so successful in at least gathering the media attention
doing the protest anything with her office up
because they have organized money behind
those guys think that they're actually against the bank bailout the center but
they've never done a protest against the bank bailouts because the monied
interests are not interested in those protests they're interested in killing
health care reform so that publishers dummies can make more money so they pour
money and organization into it
now we don't have the rich companies ready to organize our side
how exposed organize as well as they do for those specific issues without money
it's hard
and i cried all the point-blank i'd be pretty party companies
is actually
a quite a bit broader quite a bit deeper
anxious not just the concoction of uh... you know fox news and money
uh... i think it actually expresses a kind of uh... outrage in some way fifty
party people
that something very new and different have happened to our economy and i think
many progressive haven't yet caught up with that
dot
i'm making the argument uh... are economic fifteen went to a
transformation the last thirty years in that we've become something new were not
your pluralistic democratic catholic
by the anymore were what i call the billionaire bail-out
we've had a perfect and now we're finding it
it's no large thirty five percent of corporate profits that he can campbell
but it can move it
and then we have to bail them out of the two nd something like right now fill ten
trillion dollars
of our government baki and uh... loan guarantees further toxic asset
we i'd think out
the average pre-party person sensitive something really profoundly has gone
wrong i'm not sure that the average progressive sent yet
i think in a way
we've built a kid well you know what they could kind of a blueprint
indeed normal up and down support system and we're going to get back to normal i
go back to bite you
when it was that leads us back to our leaders important that but that leads us
back to our leaders because uh... our leaders tell us it's okay
calm down and he's going to be fined establishments all
and there's nothing to worry about here and you don't have to get upset either
gagarin burn anchi back in charge of instead of texas thing they save the
world theories so if you don't want me to quickly party people aren't moderate
and progressive
de klerk they don't know i have no no no gratitude by no less than leaders are
smart because their leaders say the opposite ok while doing the reverse so
the glen base of the world command over the world on fire the wells on fire i
didn't know that you feel bangor dot com and put the direct that anger in order
to protect corporation so i mean isn't highly duplicitous waited a couple but
some are
i'm not prepared to meet a party
uh... in terms of its contradictory philosophy and goals william affect
their britain several blog
that a catch up at the fact that you know prepare phony economic populist
movement
fairfax job doing the bidding of the anti government that off
anti-tax conservatism affect their wall street bestfriend true but you see the
their leaders let funnel that anger in such a better way for their own purposes
and our leaders still there even if it's
i mean who's out there making the case that that were wealthy got too many tax
cuts that reagan was a disaster right they are making the case i know i i
think i've got you notified the lonely battle f_b_i_ no you're not big i cannot
get the radio station
where
there been moderators
who have had almost exactly what you just said now that the problem is we
don't have an infrastructure that between live together in the nineteen
thirties
note the basically
the research in labor movement provided the infrastructure that allowed us to to
throughout perhaps map of people at work
today
and unions are are
art are struggling may have provided the infrastructure and the nonprofit
progressive movement happened yet real life
it's a big deal they think oh no way we're going to chronic unemployment i
think
for at least a decade
if not more
we don't fit
effect i think one st now separated itself from
leading
the rest of the economy can now
it made record profits and bonuses which you're correct her bone here
during the worst years at the great depression
what about the value technology they don't need to loan money to the real
economy
they don't care anymore what happened reality for the rest of it billionaire
bail-out denies that less here is the other part of the any new strategy or
tirelessly opal dissolve a ballooning america
and he just wrote or volatility are and where no mass movement
let's their we're likely fogs inconsolable in water
it's not like this setting us the vietnam and if we don't quote as we're
going to die right
it's not like the civil rights movement where do you know where we hit where
people have no rights and they get beat over the head and they can't saddam it's
you're going through certain restaurants that are etcetera
instead you know people are slowly losing their
the slow with their income is going down and they see that the bankers of all the
money but they can't quite put together how that happened and none of their
leaders ever make the case for the political leaders ever make that case if
i can make the republicans is an apologist for their positions so
how do you mobilize those guys who don't know what's going on or in the slowly
boiling water at it into actually getting out there and making a
difference in the streets civil disobedience whatever might be
conduct your leadership question
i think a very
accurate
if not the average person
who doesn't have to decide to respond
there a lot of average peoples that are responding to keep our to predict the
only expression of
populist outrage out there
what i've what i am uh...
arguing for doing what
yet with the moment actually hood
about a year ago pitiful at the moment
when progress could have made their case to the american public up without your i
think your your right to pay that what happened was that most aggressive really
put their faith in
opm the democratic leadership in in imprint obama as opposed to becoming a
fourth it
push them they tried to play the info i gain
matter fact i think that we offer the prom i think that
that over the last generation up kind of progressive
of leadership
large implore
happened by the palladium hiking
that they want have you know they want to meet they want to have important
democratic they're talking these people of good people in a normal bomb is a
good guy not a bad guy barney frank you want to talk to anyone and will belong
meanwhile
we didn't really popular outrage where people were losing their job
and the it may be approx
you know in the boiling water began oh what that you were in the boiling water
and they were upset by what would happen ing and the and we meaning the
progressive community
could not figure out how to find
a way to provide leadership in organizations are that popular worlders
and we're going to pay for that we're going to pay big time for that for a
long time pickup it's not too late that the other one field not too late fire
actually occurred
today picked up
god
gary if you know amend m_f_n_ v commentators and uh...
to contact
the publisher of the nation and others were thinking about calling for term at
demonstration so you know i don't think it's over
dot in the wrong i wake up hope whoever did it
birthday coho
and i've got my own plans so you wait for their lesson we'll see how that goes
probably early to hydrogenated oil atlanta app are fair and other the book
is called the looting of america less terrible thanks so much for being a
repatriate proudly give it up thing
