2. K&R
"The corporate executives and hedge fund managers and large investors over the past 30 years have not worked millions of times harder than everyone else, they have just received value that was created by everyone else." :applause:

3. The writing is really good but they need to get the audio down better.
They screwed that up but they have potential.

6. Wow, everyone should read/listen to this.
It clearly explains how a capitalist society works and why we are in the mess we are in today.

The only way to fix America today is a People's Revolution.

I am increasingly convinced that unless the worker, the middle class and poor, the unemployed, and the homeless revolts and marches on DC in huge numbers for extended periods of time, nothing will change. The uber wealthy have become too big, too rich, too powerful for change to come from within out capitalist system.

The uber wealthy have to keep the status quo to keep their ill gotten gain. They are NOT going to let the average person in on their scam. They are not going to quit using our hard work to their excessive reward. They are not going allow change. We must twist it out of their greedy little hands.

We must revolt. There is no other possibility for change.

10. Thanks for liking it.
Glad you enjoyed it. However, I didn't write it, this guy did:

http://rationalrevolution.net/blog/

I don't agree with everything he says, as I don't support the democrats or think their economic policies will do much good (I'm flattered however that democrats like the video).

As for the Audio, yeah I messed up on a few parts. In fact, the multiple voices were a mistake I didn't find out about until half way doing the video, but just kept it because it sounded nice. I guess it can annoy some people though. For now, I'm just going to have text and music probably, since the voices can get irritating at times. But glad you people otherwise liked it.

11. GREAT. Is there a Part 3, I hope?

Also, the audio could use some work -- some gaps; and some parts all but unintelligible.

But overall, GREAT JOB; and PLS keep me posted on any updates, so I can share them -- thanks!

12. Well, sort of.
Thanks, the audio mistake won't be made in future videos, at least I hope. However, it was two parts because the article made a video longer than 10 minutes, the maximum I can do at the moment on youtube (will change that soon). I do plan on making an afterthought video with my ideas on the article, including some snippets I learned on Alternet about the "slave" mentality Americans have and how they are not rioting on the streets like Europeans, and how they simply give all they have to the two parties and get nothing in return.

13. My only criticism...
...might be that the top 1% do provide some service by creating jobs...though what they are probably doing more of is exploiting labor and resources.

This exploitation is motivated mostly by profit...and has little to no respect for the environment or people. Multinationals are all about making money.

The use of the military in support of economic activities is FASCISM. The similarities between the US now....and Germany during WW2 are great.

But reality has a way of catching up with the overly extended? Hitler took it too far and......guess what happened?

Who is it that will lend the US even more money to continue? The US taxpayer? Maybe the US taxpayer's retirement accounts? Maybe the US taxpayers children and grandchildren....sold into economic slavery?
