MSNBC host Cenk Uygur on the problem with oil subsidies and the Republicans who defend them.

[Old and In the Way]

1. Our biggest subsidy is the security we provide to Big Oil in the form of

Defense spending. How many 100's of billions of dollars annually go to make sure that the oil in the ME ground gets pumped into the tankers which then have to navigate the Arabian Gulf to market? If that was properly costed into the price of gas...we'd damn well find lower cost alternative energy options.

2. Make more and work less ?

When they are making us work more and earning less ?
That's the difference between executives who are greedy and
think of their own wealth and Bill Gates who gives his money to help
humanity.

(Old and in the Way - they were the best - ever see them live ? )

3. "isn't that the American dream?"

400 million retirement BONUS? No, that is a sociopathic dream of the selfish and greedy. The culture needs to begin to instill contempt for people that take way more than their share of our common resources. The idea that some are smarter or more highly skilled than 99.9 percent of the rest of us is absurd,. these people are just ruthless, greedy, and sociapathic, and we need to treat them as such, not hold them up as heroes of the corporate pyramid scam system.

4. That would be great,

I hope he does do this feature every day.
