Bill Moyers talks with former Citigroup chairman John Reed and former Senator Byron Dorgan to explore how our political and financial class shift economic benefits to the very top.
Monica S Mcfeeters's insight:
I cannot recommend this Bill Moyer episode enough. It will enlighten so many people to what changes took place as a key to cause the economy to be bailed out or most have likely failed a little over four years ago. It is would worth the watch and a share for even more people to start the new year with their eyes wide open and more fully informed about something as important as our past which if we are not careful also becomes our future again, and again.
Please take time to watch thisI cannot recommend this Bill Moyer episode enough.Key players that altered the economic security of all of us, this nation and the world speak out here. The changes discussed here and the Libor scandal have played a huge role in changing the lives of the once strong middle class and harvesting the wealth of nations to the hands of a few.

This is the biggest reason we need to look at the redistribution of both wealth and work, job sharing, community and charity work as valuable to society in terms of helping to justify social nets for all those who are able to work and those unable to work.
This would mean more time for life and community for the young families with kids, older folks with grandkids or grand dogs, less worry for those that feel afraid of being broke even if the are totally rich or if they are poor. Technology has made the need of warm bodies just to fill a factory, farm, or army out of date.
We haven't made the leap to realize how this could really be a gift to all in society to have time to improve society in many little daily ways.
