Has anyone seen the documentary:- American Ruling Class

[Hutzpa]

I think people should see this documentary it is an eye opener and one
of the things that struck me is the perception that the Clintons were
the ones who started this whole mess America is on right now by signing
the trade deal that gives corporation power to strategically dismantle
the middle class.

Folks you got to see this,

For the doubters, this would blow your mind and gets you thinking.

Todays new word OLIGOPOLY!

First there where 12, then 6 and finally ONE to rule the world.

What we have now, an Economical disaster through out the world,
food crisis, oil crisis etc.

2. Good to see Barbara Ehrenreich in the movie . . . read her book a few years ago --

I thought the most startling question recently giving a picture on how we have impoverished so many
was: How does someone making minimum wage afford a gallon of gasoline?

And ExxonMobil's profits are disappointing --- they're under 17% so far --

4. Her kind of Jounalism is whats missing these days

wouldn't you say.

What people like myself would give to see her on one

of those so called networks doing her thing.

12. Oh, yes! Now there's a gal who can tell you what's really going on...

5. Thank you spokane for this great video. I'm checking this out to see

if this can be put on by our local talent. The theater here caters to the wealthy geriatric crowd that own most of the small businesses here in this red neck town that loves junior and the boys.

Do you happen to know who the playwright is?

Thank you again!

Sincerely

6. Loved It

I made my college kid watch it - he's like the one who isn't going to go work on Wall St.,

[MagickMuffin]

8. Yes, although it's been quite a while since I watched it

I really puts things into perspective. The rich get richer and the poor get Nickel and Dimed.

And of course the wealthy Americans i.e. the "Ruling Class" have NO idea what that's like.
