The interview with Milton Friedman was exceptionally revealing.

It's very eye-opening.

that fell though unfortunately. I think it was on HBO last year that I first saw it- blew me away, esp. since it was made in 2003, over 10 years ago. The consolidation of wealth at the top & simultaneous income inequality below has been going on for some time. Who knows when it will change.

It's on Netflix

never followed through. Paypal got involved for the refund. I wanted to share it with people who have limited internet access. I know about Amazon Prime, Netflix & others but still prefer a DVD if available & I don't want to spend my entire life online, it goes by so quickly.

The best part is when he says The public will get what the public wants and that the elite don't influence anything, Yahtzee, is this dude stoned or what ?

Everything is always wonderful in the pure, perfect abstraction that he clings to in order to avoid dealing with the messiness of reality.

The "Cons" Credo is "We want everyone to be the best they can be" We want everyone to be wealthy. Unfortunately the world just does not work like that. The Cons dismiss facts. It's a very deliberate highly structured set of obfuscation and Lies. The purpose is to prey on people who have weak reasoning and reactive lizard-type of brain mechanics (The tea party). This tactic of getting your enemy's to fight each other is an ancient one that still works today. The "Ruling Class' are taught these tactics that cause a distraction while picking the pockets of the average hard working person at the very start of school age learning. I have worked for "Uber wealthy " people close up and personal for decades. Some are very nice people. But all to a person in my experience lost the "Human, connected to humanity" part of the soul. RepubliCONS admire those who have made the way to the top on the dead and dying corpses of others who are repulsed at the spectacle of greed even unto the suffering of fellow humans. (Dick Cheney The war profiteers who sell death) People who pray for war to profit from the misery of camouflaged metallic bombs and bullets.The NRA "Merchants of death" who sell the false idea of explosive death security. It is the RepuliCONS who are destroying this world and indeed Humanity itself.

This video is distressing. Humans ground their self worth in their monetary status, a most capricious measure. I have no regard for the sociopathic hoarders called the "wealthy" or "the one percent." They are abhorrent to me.

(I'm watching a rufous-sided towhee scratch for black sunflower seeds right outside my window...something obscene wealth simply cannot buy.)

Well worth watching!
