Papantonio: The Wealthy Elite’s Disdain For Decency

From Ring of Fire.

The ever-growing gap between the rich and poor in the United States has expanded to an alarming level. Likewise, plutocracy is showing its ugly face as the wealthy elite are gaining more and more influence in the country. Some of the richest Americans are controlling the nation and showing its citizens exactly what they are: psychopaths in Armani suits. Ring of Fire host Mike Papantonio discusses these issues with attorney Howard Nations.

The only thing we need to focus on is demanding COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM (CCFR)!!! There would be resistance of the like that we have never seen before! Unfortunately, there is such apathy and willful ignorance that our window will pass. We will destroy our ecosystem because corporations must ever grow and profit. We know not what we do!

Control the wealth of a nation by labeling it capitalism, they are going to eventually run the country. It's capitalism that is allowing this. You can't have democracy and capitalism. They don't work well together.
