A form of fascism its not. Really sorry thats a form of fascism its not up to you to tell religious minorities and one or 2 groups around the world how to live ultimately this is a test of tolerance and well. We. Should really just beliefs fine then dont eat animals but those who want to should those standards should be of the highest order. I am not telling anyone what to do im simply stating the fact that people working in those slaughterhouses and in those industries they are suffering as well when you watch documentaries interviewing those workers they are Mental Health low pay horrible i agree the chance they get a lot of these is they is very very honest agree that they only have already to get over underpaid and its all i really dont im sorry were all making arguments. Youre making Animal Rights arguments for not only workers but for the rights of animals to live that is absolutely fine but for millennia now we have seen really just slaughter accepted as long as its practice humanely on any corners where these religious practices now one 3rd there is not always a humane. One fine and that is an ideological position which you are entitled to and im saying you can talk to those positions but one 3rd of chickens that come of the slaughter process are dead at the point at which they become your. Name here. In the high street now. One 3rd of the chickens coming to process makes them forbidding for people that muslims and jews to even some practicing christians now the question is really just freedom are you ok with religious groups having the freedom to kosher or not. Ok but im not here to comment on the politics of this im speaking from a reagan perspective and even those people have a problem of how do they can just even begin option thats the amazing thing about the argument and they are going to be religious and you know why is whether. Its not just for reagans ok sorry to interrupt you we are about to get as in the argument is about whether flanders have. Lost the argument whether. They are actually going society going to interrupt you we are going to continue this discussion though bring the highlights of it to our viewers later will give ron a chance to speak plenty and they say but just keep your paws guys mo and saw your little social commentator on slifer lecturer in the school of communication at a Real University and dominique.

And theres a lot theres a few ways to play it if you want to make money on the part of course theres a couple of great trade sun the table but without a doubt this is as weve said the last generation. To eat and i. Remember i went. Through it with these for the last few years. Noam chomsky whos made True International reputation. As one of the National Leaders of american resources. To the vietnam war the deepest is a professor of linguistics who before he was 40 is a transformed the bishop so. You are identified with a new level whatever that is you certainly have been an activist as well as a writer. And is listed in anybodys catalog monkey. Popular as of the new law. Is standing. By adopting over the past 2 or 3 years a series of adamant. Project at least American Foreign policy at most america itself. Budget this notion that he american is quite an interesting one sashes to tell tarion notion it is used in free societies so if someone and say italy is criticizing barrels going to me or the corruption of the italian state soon then a cold 8016 they were cold indeed 10 people would collapse and laughter in the streets of rome or milan. In totalitarian states the notions used so in the Old Soviet Union dissidents were cold and he says via that was the worst condemnation. Of the Brazilian Military dictatorship they were gold in any brazilian. No its true that in just about every society the critics are maligned. Mistreated in the us dependency like el salvador at the same time this counterfeit accident their brains blown up by a us or a state terrorist worse. Than others is it just condemned their vilified zone in the United States or one of the terms of abuse is anti american. And theres a couple of others like you know more cases theres an array of terms of abuse. Of in the United States you have a very high degree of freedom and so if youre vilified by some commas or who cares to go on to your work anyway at least concepts only arise in a culture where if you criticize state power and when i state i mean. Were generally not just government but state Corporate Power if you criticize concentrated power youre against the society youre against the b. Its quite strange in that its used in the United States in effect i think for another the only Democratic Society with the concept isnt just ridicule and its a sign of. Elements of the elite culture which are the great ugly. American dream my many ideals was partly symbolic but partly real so in the 1950 s. And sixtys there was a the biggest growth period in. American economic history. Gold made. It was pretty go at carrion growth so the the lowest 5th of the population was. Improving about as much as the upper 5th. And there were some welfare state measures which improved life for much of the population it was for example possible for a. Black worker to get a decent job in an auto plant. Get a core of children go to school and so on and the same across the board. When the us was. Primarily a Manufacturing Center it had to be concerned with its own consumers here famously henry ford raised the salary of his workers who would be able to buy cars. When youre moving into an international tunnel me is the max like call it a little small percentage of the worlds population thats a gathering increasing wealth what happens to American Consumers that have much less concern because most of them arent going to be consuming your products anyway at least on a major basis. Your goals or profit in next quarter even it if its based on financial manipulation and. High salary high bonuses produced overseas if you have to and produce for the wealthy classes here and their counterparts abroad what about the rest well theres a term coming into use for them too and theyre called the precariat. Precarious proletariat the working people of the world who live increasingly precarious lives. And its related to the attitude toward the country all together. During the period of great growth of the economy fiftys and sixtys but in fact earlier taxes on the wealthy were. Farai are corporate taxes were much higher taxes on dividends are much higher simply taxes on wealthier much air the tax system has been redesigned so that the taxes that are paid by the very wealthy are reduced and her spondon levy tax burden on the rest of the populations increased. Now the shift is towards trying to keep taxes just done and wages are not consumption which everyone has to do not say and dividends which i go to the bridge. The numbers are pretty striking. Now theres a pretext of course theres always a pretext the pretext in this case is well that increases investment in increases jobs but there isnt any evidence for that if you want to increase investment give money to the poor and the working people they have to keep alive so they spend their incomes and that stimulates production stimulates investment that leads to job growth and so much. If youre an ideologist for the masters you have a different line and in fact right now its almost absurd the corporations have money coming out of their pocket. So in fact General Electric are paying 0 taxes and they have enormous profits lets take the profits somewhere else or go for it but not pay taxes and this is common. The major american corporations shift the burden of sustaining the society on to the rest of the population. Solidarity is quite dangerous from the point of view of the masters youre only supposed to care about yourself and not about other people this is quite different from the people they claim are their heroes like adam smith who based is whole approach to the economy on the principle that sympathy is a fundamental human trait but that has to be driven out of peoples heads gotta be for yourself father while maxon dont care about others which is ok for the rich and powerful but it is devastating for everyone else. And its taken a lot of effort to try to drive these basic Human Emotions out of peoples heads. And we see it today in policy for a major for example in the attack on Social Security. Social security is based on a principle its based on a principle of solidarity saw bury it in the caring for others. A Social Security means i pay payroll taxes so that the widow across town can get something to live on. With fred much of the population thats with this of iowa. Its of no use to the very rich a so therefore theres a concerted attempt to destroy it. And one of the ways is defunding it you want to destroy some system 1st defund it. Then it will work people be angry they want Something Else thats a standard technique for them privatizing some system. We see it in the attack on public schools. Public schools are based on the principle of solidarity. I no longer have children in school their grown up but the principle of solidarity says i happily pay taxes so that the kid across the street can go to school thats normal Human Emotion and it drives it out of peoples heads i dont have kids in school why should i pay taxes privatized it so on. The Public Education system all the way from kindergarten to Higher Education is under severe attack i mean thats one of the jewels of americans say. Go back to the golden age again the great chris period in the fiftys and sixtys a lot of that is based on free Public Education. And one of the results of the 2nd world war was the g. I. Bill right which enabled veterans remember thats a large part of the population and to go to college they would have been able to otherwise the century got Free Education where a community is date or nation regularly invest substantial shared resources in education the investment invariably it returned in Better Business and a higher standard of living u. S. Was way in the lead in developing extensive mass Public Education at every level. But now more than half the states most of the funding for the colleges comes from 2 issues not from the state thats a radical change thats a terrible burden on students it means that students if they dont come from very wealthy families theyre going to leave college with big debt and if you would think that youre trapped i mean maybe you wanted to become a Public Interest lawyer but youre going to go into a Corporate Law firm a tip. Hey off those debts by the time youre part of the culture you know youre not going to get out of it again and thats true cross the border. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to guest of the well the politics thats less im show business ill see that. In the 1950 s. It was a much poorer society in the news today but no the us could easily handle centrally free mass Higher Education today a much Richer Society claims dozen of the resources for. That just whats going on right before our eyes and its the a general attack on the principles that i mean not only are the humane theyre the basis of the prosperity and health of this society. If you look over the history of regulation say the Railroad Regulation Financial Regulation and so on and you find that quite commonly its its either initiated by the economic. Concentrations that are being regulated or its supported by them and the reason is because they know that sooner or later they can take over the regulators. And it ends up with whats called regulatory capture. The business being regulated is in fact running the regulators. Bank lobbyists are actually writing the laws of Financial Regulation gets to that extreme. And thats been happening through history and again its a pretty natural tendency when you just look at the distribution of power. One of the things that expanded enormously in the 1970 s. Is lobbying as the Business World moved sharply to try to control legislation. Business where it was pretty upset by the advances in a Public Welfare in the sixtys and in particular by Richard Nixon and its not to will understand that but he was the last new deal president and they regarded that as class treachery. And nixons administration you get the consumer safety legislation safety and Health Regulations in the workplace the e. P. A. The Environmental Protection agency. Business didnt like it of course they didnt like that taxes. They didnt like the regulation and they began a coordinated effort to try to overcome a. Lobbying sharply to increase deregulation began with the rule ferocity. There were no financial crashes in the fiftys and the sixtys because the regulatory apparatus of the new deal was still in place. As a pm to be dismantled under business pressure and political pressure. To get more and more crashes. And it goes on through the years. Seventys sort of starts begin. Eightys really takes off congress was asked to approve federal loan guarantees to the Auto Companies about the wan and one half 1000000000. 00 all of this is quite safe as long as you know the governments going to come to your rescue so takes a break and instead of letting them pay the cost break and build out the banks like continental the biggest bailout of American History at the time that she ended his term with so the huge financial crisis the savings and loan crisis and the government moved in and build it out for a family that he handed in or got a favorite and later they are empty 99. 00 regulation and worse dismantled to separate commercial banks from investment banks. Then come see bush and obama bill and bear stearns is running to the feds to stay afloat president bush today defended the decision to bail out citi group that in may and freddie macin ask for a total after being 1000000. 00 more israel out could get much bigger than billing even in troubles for the u. S. Economy. And theyre building up the next term. B. Each time the taxpayer is called on to bail out those who created the crisis increasingly the major financial institutions. In a capitalist economy you would do that in a capitalist system that would worry about the investors who made risky investments but the rich and powerful they dont want to capitalist system they want to be able to run to the nanny state as soon as theyre in trouble and get billed a taxpayer its called the too big to fail. I mean there are no will or its an economics who significantly disagree with the course that were following people look just Stiglitz Paul Krugman others none of them were even approached the people picked to fix the crisis were those who created the robert rubin crowd the Goldman Sachs croak they created the crisis are no more powerful than before is that accident well not when you pick those people to create an economic plan and then what do you expect the havent. Been well for the poor let market principles prevail dont expect any help from the government the government the problem not the solution and so on thats essentially neo liberalism and its has this dual character which goes right back in economic history one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules for the poor. And nothing surprising about this exactly the dynamics you expect if the population allows it to proceed shes going to go on and on like this until the next crash which is so much expected that credit agencies which kind of evaluate the. Status of firms are now counting into their calculations the taxpayer bailout that they expect to come in after the next crash which means that the beneficiaries of these Credit Ratings like the big banks they can borrow money more cheaply they can push out smaller competitors and you get more and more concentration everywhere you look policies are done this way which should come as absolutely no surprise to anyone thats what happens when you put power into the hands of a narrow sector of will which will is dedicated to increasing power for itself just as youd expect. Be. Concentration of wealth yields concentration of political power. Particularly so as the cost of elections skyrockets which kind of forces the Political Parties into the pockets of major corporations. The Citizens United this was january 2009 i guess thats a very important decisions prim Court Decision but it has a history and youve got to think about the history. Of 14th amendment has a provision that says no persons rights can be infringed without due process of law. And the intent clearly was to protect freed slaves said ok they have got the protection of the law i dont think its ever been used for freed slaves if ever marginally almost immediately it was used for businesses corporations their rights cant be infringed without due process of law so they gradually became persons under the law. Corporations or state created legal fictions. Maybe theyre good maybe theyre bed but to call them persons is kind of rages so they get got personal rights back about a century ago and that extended through the 20th century. As they give corporations rights way beyond what persons have so if say General Motors invests in mexico they get National Rights the rights of the mexican business well the notion of person was expanded to include corporations it was also restricted if you take the 14th amendment literally that no undocumented alien can be deprived of rights if theyre persons. Undocumented aliens who are living here and building your buildings clear lawns and so on theyre not persons. But General Electric is a person. An immortal a super powerful person this perversion of the young elementary morality and the obvious meaning of the law is quite incredible. In the 1970 s. The courts decided that money is a form of speech. But the 1st value and then you one through the years to Citizens United which says that the right of free speech of corporations namely spend as much money they want cant be curtailed. Take a look what that means it means that corporations which anyway have been pretty much buying elections are now free to do it with virtually no constraint as tremendous attack on the residue of democracy. Interesting to read the rulings like Justice Kennedys swing vote his ruling said well look after all the c. B. S. Is given freedom of speech there are corp why shouldnt General Electric be free to spend as much when is that one. I mean its true that c. B. S. Has given treat of speech but theyre supposed to be performing a Public Service thats why thats what the press is supposed to be a general electorate is trying to make money for the chief executive some of the shareholders. Sitting critical decisions and it puts the country in a position where business power is greatly extended beyond what it always was this is part of that vicious cycle the Supreme Court justices are put in by reactionary president s who get in there because theyre funded by business and thats the way the cycle works. But politicians do. Put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president. Or some of them want to. Its a going to be press its like when the 43 in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the water. This. Guy. But id like to look at mr skinner protests ruling policy rebellion and threats of a snap election a blockbuster brags that showdown gets underway in the u. K. Parliament and please return to the us. Im a recess. The us media outlet been interfering abroad for a whole century well take a look at whether the russian meddling could have been used for events even a 1000 years ago. Pushing the boundaries between religious freedom an Animal Welfare a. Kosher and. Weve been debating the issue
