Democrat programs are at an all time high the rich pay almost all the federal taxes isn't this what democrats want

The closing of mental health facilities across the country, spearheaded by Ronald Reagan. Trickle-down economics that was and is a failed policy by Reagan and Republicans continues today. High inflation in the late 70's and early 80's started us down a path we have today of low wages, that we have never recovered from and was paramount to the start of a growing homeless class Regulations by cities to build single-family housing - not everyone needs a 2500 sq foot home. Building freeways through low-income neighborhoods so higher-paid people can drive from the suburbs to their jobs. That eventually turned into a drive-till-you-afford-it mentality that put a strain on workers who drove hours and spent less time with their families and leisure time. There are so many variables for have worked against the regular everyday worker it is too much to cover in a small space of time

You are correct on all counts and very informed. Great comment.@@sterlingmarshel6299

I've said that for years it's timing in life that can make or break you. I worked two jobs from the late 80s until being laid off in 2018 two days before Christmas after 31 years with the same company. Found a job making more money but health issues told me it was time to slow down so I retired. Being a heavy equipment operator is tough on a body lol no regrets there but it is time.

I am 69 and echo your experience in the U.K. It is not just the USA who has experienced these changes.

Totally agree with you until we take care of that citizens United The corporations will own us Same with our corporate media we need to do something about I think that's more important for the democrats or whoever gets in should be the first thing they do For voting rights or anything else We need demand this out of the democrats if they get in power

More like corporations and government United.

Amen

BINGO. That's the issue right there. Period, end of story.

Which is why taxation is theft. If I earn money with my labor, no one has the right to take it, not even the IRS.

Don't forget about the smooth brained politicians who give themselves raises!!

When was the last time the senste or congress or president got a raise stop spreading misinformation

@@fritzforsthoefel8031 Like how Nancy Pelosi got busted for insider trading and is multimillionaire...yet nothing happened.

American economy is consumption driven so people need money in their pockets to keep this going, simple as that. Inflation is a consequence of how money is being created anyways, NOT by how much people earn.

You cannot give a lot of money to unskilled low producing workers that creates a situation where you have a lot of consumption because of lots of money passed out but low production from low skilled workers meaning you run out of things to buy leaving you with nothing but paper money and empty shelves

Robber Baron who? You mean Kings. They're called Kings. Good video.

That's exactly what has happened

True. He deregulated the banks, broke strikes, and gave us "Trickle-down (up) economics."

Do you remember the terrible economy his predecessor Jimmy Carter had created? Definite parallels to what we’re seeing today. Gilded age 2.0 might be true but it is too complicated to lay at the feet of one president. Unfortunately it always comes back to one root cause - the evil that resides in each person expressed as greed. Spiritual problems are hard to fix with taxation or regulation imo

@@philiplaundy5651 Sorry but Carter was a one term president, who had to deal with OPEC oil embargo--for US support of Israel. He's the one who created the Department of Energy. The economy took a hit over things out of his control, and he did the best he could. Reagan did a LOT of damage. Deregulating the banks was a mistake. It lead to the S&L crisis, recession then, and the housing bubble burst under Bush. It is STILL causing trouble. Banks are federally insured, and they need to be regulated. Deregulating, and allowing monopolies, is why we now have corporations that are "too big to fail," and we end up bailing out these behemoths when the economy turns. It's not just Reagan; congress is complicit, as are many state governments.

Reagan was definitely at the forefront of it. Trickle down economics was debunked before Reagan even started touting it. I can’t believe their still trying to peddle that tripe!

If you prefer, think of these times as Man's Pre Star Trek moment -- complete with our own Q. Mankind either ends war now, thus paving the way for a marvelous, worldwide civilization OR men and women are forever forbidden from the stars -- perhaps even our souls, bound to Earth, with the beasts. Q, just as Q-wizical as ever, says, "I don't believe men have souls. If they do, it's barely discernible. This time, Jean-Luc, it's not up to you and your crew to save the day. It's up to them -- souls or not!"

Which political affiliates keep the wealthy around to finance their coffers?

By brainwashing the poor and uneducated people to vote against their best interest.

@Don-tjpb, I agree, especially in America, America doesn't seem to ever learn from its previous mistakes, so yes! It's history repeating itself over and over again. It's so saddening to witness it as well.

I'm sure it will get worse with the way education is going, especially with history.

Yes and we had a pandemic in the 1910s ,the roaring 20s, then we had the Great Depression in the 1930s .SOB I think we’re in for hard times soon .

I think the greatest tragedy is that so many of us DO see it but are powerless to stop it. You can't reason with the very people who could join with us to put an end to it. They have been homeschooled and indoctrinated through their churches since leaving the womb to believe without question in free market capitalism. I don't see how we could break through that kind of brainwashing.

Europe progressed past feudalism because they were forced to compete for peasantry. Nowadays? Wev reverted back to feudalism. Why? Every job that couldv been automated, has been outsourced. China and India have billions of people, and billions of equally competent workers. If Microsoft cant hire for cheap, then they can hire from india. If Microsoft is sanctioned, then Alibaba just takes over and outproduces them. If China and India had the same population density as Canada, then we would still be experiencing 1950's wages. Theres a reason why socialist utopias such as Sweden reject migration from Turkey, and why Norway isnt even in the EU. Their smart, and they protect their jobs. Apple is able to pay their workers slave wages, because they can lobby democrats into importing MILLIONS of illegals for cheap labour. It used to be blue collar labour that was anhilated by globalism, and now its white collar labours. Jobs such as software development, engineering, business, and the rest, have been utterly anhilated by countries like China and India. If Democrats continue to virtue signal and delude themselves from the overpopulation issue, then its only gonna get worse.

​@honkhonk8009 overpopulation issue. Millennial can't afford to have children. We are on the verge of population collapse in the Midwest. My wife and I know very few people who have children, and that is not unusual.

@@honkhonk8009 If you think it was democrats who have created a second gilded age, you need to look closer at policy. I don't know why you would say anyone is "importing" people, as if they are goods. How can this be about "importing" people, when you also say jobs have been outsourced. You are contradicting yourself. All I hear is someone who is very worked up, doesn't really have the facts straight and who has decided without evidence that democrats are to blame. I think you need to work on critical thinking skills.

@@gracieb.3054 I say importing people because thats litterally what capitalism treats labour as. Thats what corporations treat illegals as. They are cheap labour. They are cheap services. They are cheap GOODS. I dont have to spell this shit out bruh, your argument is purely a moral one. Please, explain to me how "importing people" and "outsourcing jobs" are contradictions. You realize its possible to be doing both? Im not sure what your tryna get at, because Im pretty sure America at the municipal, state, and federal level, support certain corporations having business at their respective areas. For example, Seattle giving massive tax writeoffs for Amazon tech work, or NY doing the same for Amazon warehouses, or the feds doing the same with TSMC fabs. Its much easier to run a factory in America since you dont have to deal with infrastructure issues, or chinese laws. But the people are expensive, and the PPP is high. Thats why corporations like Apple, hire illegals to the grunt labour. Unless your somehow in denial over this fact. In conclusion, stay delusional. Mf put up some emotional argument.

I think Twain would convince someone else to do it for him (maybe even a crowd)----but your sentiments are correct.

Politics have swung so far to the right that Nixon would be considered a liberal democrat in today's political climate.

TRUTH! Reagan began the single greatest bull market in the history of mankind. This bull market has pulled more people out of poverty than all of history’s other bull markets combined. You are so correct, Regan does deserve the credit for the prosperous times of which we are now living. Those who have failed to enter into the prosperity that is now available to us need to ask themselves, “why am I such a fuck up?”

There is a national shortage of skilled labor such as nurses democrats make it worse by paying high wages to low skilled workers no one will put in the time and effort of getting a skilled job

Va hospitals are government ran

@@fritzforsthoefel8031 No that's not the problem. Doesn't make sense. Healthcare here is under a capitalist system, no matter if the hospital self labels as non profit. If there is a high demand for a job, it should pay a high wage. Hospitals don't pay fast food worker wages. What we have is capitalism for the working people and socialism for the hospitals and corporations which get subsidies and bail outs.

So you are saying high skilled jobs should pay more than unskilled jobs that's not what democrats support

The VA is non profit government run infamous for poor care at a high cost when democrats succeed in everyone getting universal government run healthcare like Sanders wants everyone can have poor healthcare

It's an empty threat anyway. They're not paying for the privelege they enjoy anyway, and so we wouldn't even notice if they left. Then we could sieze all their local assets and turn them to good for the public at large.

Public schools have a near Monopoly and you are right about it leeding to poor outcomes would you support school choice and competition for schools or do you agree with democrat politicians that only want the rich to be able to afford to send there children to private schools

@@fritzforsthoefel8031Are you trolling or do you really think that’s a relevant point? Public schools fill a need for most people that aren’t filled by private markets. That circumstance is known in classical economics as market failure- private schools don’t provide the good or services in a efficient way to all the consumers. A market for education will fail to properly evaluate the commons (goods or services that benefit everyone regardless of whether they pay or not). Public schools transformed American education positively until private schools (where available) siphoned off the most affluent students- often by appealing to elitism. This was a libertarian or conservative driven movement as are almost all efforts to defund public education, which is clearly the reason for the decline. There’s also abundant evidence demonstrating that private school students score better not because they’re better educators but because private schools are able to cherry pick students, and they can get rid of problematic students with little due process. Where do all those students end up? In the public system. There’s zero evidence that private schools perform better than public ones. There are outstanding examples and terrible examples of both. There’s plenty of reliable information about what works and what doesn’t in education. If you genuinely care about this important issue, you can easily access it.

I agree with you on regulation in our economic system. I'm not a person who believes that capitalism itself is at the root of the problems, but see it as the pervasive, and all too often rewarded, abuses of the freedoms and opportunities presented by our system. Making it worse, when the people attempting to circumvent the regulations and oversight are put in charge of rewriting (or eliminating) the regulations and controlling (or eliminating) the oversight, we have a system doomed to create and/or exacerbate the inequalities and problems we are experiencing now. As a small business owner, with my wife (we build custom and semi-custom electric guitars and bass guitars), I need to be aware of and deal with regulations regularly, but I would not want to operate in a system devoid of those regulations. As a consumer, what regulations and oversight we have is vital to our system even being able to continue to function (as examples: without regulation and oversight, our food supply systems would be far worse, with more contamination problems, issues of haphazard or even dangerous composition; our power grid, our transportation networks, our communications, our financial sector operations, would all be ripped apart by those operating out of a purely greed driven motivation, etc).

And for just 17+ years, we have been connected to this shared, worldwide experience, with near-instant communication. It is GUARANTEED to Wake "THIS" Generation Up. Because the Father knows what you need, before you ask.

Given any system, it will be exploited. This is a core tenent of Anarchy. Another is that humans are animals. Socialable, the most communicative, and the best tool using animals on earth. But just animals. Ment to be free. There are places still untouched by modern hiarchies. Capital, skin color, clothing styles. None of that matters there. And they advance, albeit more slowly, as expected from a smaller population. Just like we all do. They dont need money. And they get the work done. Just like humans always have. The diffrence is, we dont have to work near as hard to get the work done as they. We have modernity to thank for that. Yet we still do, and now we over work. 40% of food is never sold, its left to rot; just to jack up the costs of the remaining 60%. We only have to farm as hard as we do for one year and preserve that 40% of food for use during a bad harvest. between 60% and 80% of work done is solely un-needed. Depending on what you tally as needed. If we got rid of money (as it is) and used localized posted boards for work to be done and work finsihed it would be 80% totally unneeded. We could all work only 20% of what we do now. Or work as hard as we do now; but towards the goal of automating every cruel, dangerious, or mind numbing job, and reduce our childrens workload by as much as 90%. People talk about the corralation between money and new product... success, and never about the other side that proves it is not causation. Every single advancement started from hobbies. Alchemists worked in secrect, physicist's where traveling showsmen while doing thier "real work", medical science advanced from the hobby of painting, radio advancements was all just from enthusiast's tinkering around until it became computers. For greifs sake, the two most advanced means of semiconductor mass production still are just highly refined hobby photography equipment and hobby magizine printing presses. That is not a joke, nor exaggeration. The tech moved to electrical production in WW2 because thats what the hobbiest left behind at home knew how to do. Along side knitting for magnetic cores, but that tech failed to miniturize. Had it not been for ww2 it would have all came from glassblowing and machining techniques and that would still be fine. If a hobby produces something that everyone wants, we can put the work in to mass produce it. We only have to make 8 billion of any given thing, we make more toys then that a month. Heck, single small production shops with less then 30 employees make more then that a year. Money just gives us an incentive to make things poorly so we have to make them over and over again. We live in strife, in self made cages for the mad god capital. Then wonder how things will advance without it, never wondering how much Capital has destroyed, hampered, and slowed us down making us produce the same thing over and over and over.

Is he a natural born citizen? I ask because think the highest office an immigrant can get is Governor. So if he's originally from England or France or something he can't get very far.

born in Pennsylvania @@stevenhiggins3055

Agreed! His message would resonate with so many more people than the candidates our corrupted two-party system creates, because it is based on clearly understood, and clearly communicated facts, that have an obvious effect on the daily lives of us all.

Reich speaks no facts he lies by withholding information I can name maney examples

We have one. He just didn't get elected. Instead one of the Robber Barons did.

That will be hard cause the rich will never allow it to happen. Teddy Roosevelt was never actually elected. He was made vice president which at that time how a purely ceremonial position. It was Mc. Cinley's murder that got him the oval office and he actually lost the very next presidential election. Though luckily Woodrew Willsion continued his work.

Bernie Sanders

Yes I always thought when Bernie was running he shouldn't had fireside chats And KZfaq are the internet to educate the people Maybe President Biden and some of the other progressive Democrats Could sit down and have fireside chats to educate the American people on where we're at Explain to them how we have a captured media The corporations run the country there's no red and blue it's just who you can pay off And explain about the lobbyist and the money coming in from Big pharma the insurance companies And also explain how Russia China and even Saudi Arabia Likes to divide our country With Miss Information Explain to him how Trump and Republican party has been taken over By fascist

Democracy is a ongoing process. It is not a static equilibrium, that can be maintained without effort.

Why is it that cities that have rent control have the biggest shortage of houseing

@@fritzforsthoefel8031 The shortage leads to the rent control, not the other way around.

If that was true than how else can you add more houseing without letting rent rise so as to encourage more houesing does not rent control simply make matters worse

@@fritzforsthoefel8031 Rent control undeniably distorts the market and isn't practiced in many places, but those that have it do because all other options are worse, net-net. They're between a rock and a hard place, such as in NYC where housing always has been a problem. The supply problem is more due to NIMBY-ism.

Joe Biden letting in an estimated seven million illegal immegrants won't make the houseing shortage any better vote out handout democrats before it's to late

I know Mr Reich is an American political figure. And he's talking about American history. However, and I commented this in general too. This is a global problem. Yet, Americans only look at what's in front of them. You think America was the first revolution? You think American labour laws were the first of its kind? Americans look to modern history for guidance, thinking that's the only hostory that matters. Like children starting to realise that the world is bigger than their neighbourhood.

consider who you're listening to 👁

Indeed.

Roosevelt according to his own treasury secretary was a failure read what he wrote for yourself

Why are they robber barons? What exactly did they steal? They all started companies from scratch and built them. How does Elon Musk affect your life. Is he taking something from you? Elaborate.

We have a debt so big it defies belief because democrats won't pay for the handouts they want leaving our children a bankrupt shell of a nation vote out handout democrats before it's to late our childrens future depend on it

I wish democrats would pay enough taxes to pay for the handouts we get already we have a debt so big it defies belief democrat solution more handoutd

@@fritzforsthoefel8031 Your ignorance knows no bounds. No surprise here. Corporate bootlicker troll

​@@fritzforsthoefel8031I wish men would go back to being strong and silent instead of loud and whiny gossips.

Our debt is destroying us you would rather hear how maney handouts democrats want to give at our childrens expense is that what your saying

You don't seem to want to hear the truth that we have a debt so high that it's estimated that intrest alone will be over a half a trillion dollars that our dollar is being destroyed by our debt so as to enable bric's to challenge our current for dominance you only want to hear about all the free things democrats want
