Incredible 2hrs of Bill Moyer commenting on the current economic conditions in the US.

From Boston University, The first Howard Zinn Memorial Lecture is delivered by veteran journalist, Bill Moyers. Citing Zinn <...>as his inspiration, Moyers focuses on the challenges facing our democracy. He decried what he says has been a 30-year trend toward plutocracy, where the rich get richer at the expense of the average citizen.

Here he lays out exactly what is going on and the history behind it.

Well worth your time and your outrage.
