America's Corporate Oligarchy Endangered by "Democracy Uprising"

'The reason you can't get democratic leaders to join [the democracy uprising] is because they agree' [that unions should be busted]. 'Right in the middle of the Madison affair, the CEO of Goldman Sacs, Lloyd Blankfein, got a $12.5 million bonus and his base pay was more than tripled.'

'It was heartening to see that there are tens of thousands protesting in Madison... That's the beginning, maybe, of what we really need here, a democracy uprising. Democracy has almost been eviscerated.'

The next election is going to break all campaign spending records at over $2 billion for Barack 'Bipartisan Compromise' Obama's campaign, the man's whose 2008 campaign was overwhelmingly funded by (big surprise) Wall Street.

      MAYBE the beginning!

      What we really need here is a "democracy uprising."

      If it is the beginning of a movement, it will come to your town and perhaps we need to go to the fight instead of waiting for it to come to us. But when it does come to us, be sure you aren't on the sideline anymore!

    • If the suckers vote for Nobama the con artist again they've got rocks in
      their heads. He's phonier than a $3 bill, and worth even less than that
      to decent people in the know. I'd make it plainer if I weren't only human.

    • Everyone should see this video. Noam tells it like it is with regard to what is going has happened to set this country on the course of totalitarianism. In this interview he calls out administration on both sides.
