As usual, Reich hits the dead center of the target.

I hope to see him in a prominent role in the Sanders administration.

Another great piece by Robert Reich.

Half of 'em are convinced by Fox Fake News and hate radio (Limbaugh) that all their problems are the fault of them libruls, them coloreds, and them furreners. Only a depression will wake up those idiots.

The 1% can keep gaining money at the present rate which is unsutainable or they can share the wealth with the workers and gain at a more sustainable rate of 3% to 5%. There will always have to be an adjustment when too much money is amassed at the top or the system will collapse, but we got rid of that when we did away with the inheritance tax. That will end up being a big mistake if not corrected.

Very simplified but you get the idea.

same as losing weight w/ no work.

YES yes and YES!

The right wing pundits and politicians often say that democratic socialism has been a proven failure I shake my head in astonishment. No lie is too big for them I guess.

It has worked in Scandinavia and to a large extent here from FDR until Reagan started undoing it big time. Of course low info citizens who only watch Fox News do not know that, they only know what Fox tells them - which is why they are low info.

And none in the U.S. from FDR to Reagan. Those countries are all capitalist based market economies as is the U.S. They have large social welfare programs. We, less so.
