Could be argued. That were now in the midst of the could. In slow motion. Democracy is weakening. Conference as it is strengthening. And none of us has chosen this route for a society. In spite of which our elites quite happily continue down. This is a multilane highway. Kind of savage laceration. Runs directly over the center of camden new jersey so that commuters. In and out of philadelphia never have to see this city this sacrifice. And thats what weve done weve rendered those trapped in the sacrifice sones invisible. These people have been not just rendered invisible through infrastructure but theyve been rendered invisible through a media which doesnt report their story at all. And we should also know that theyre completely trout they cant get loans rents are actually quite high in camden although youre living in la potato conditions. And this was one of the major Manufacturing Centers of the United States. You used to have r. C. A. Victor. The famous italian tenor caruso used to come here to. Campbells soup one of the Largest Companies in the country. This was a major force up until world war 2 a lot of battleships were built here i think just in the ford in world war 230. 5000 people were employed. I am. Coming great admirer of the canadian intellectual John Ralston Saul who used the term corporate coup detat in his book the unconscious civilization was a very important book for me because it it gave me the vocabulary to understand that corporate today ta how it was carried out and how it expressed itself in our society in 195 writing Something Like that felt really risky because i was essentially saying you know muslim won the 2nd world war it was his proposal corporatism that seriously was the financing war and i really arguing that was the way of organizing society which he had become more and more powerful please raise your right hand and repeat after me. Donald john trump do solemnly swear and i was slightly covering my bad spy saying that it was a coup detat in slow motion because i was feeling my way into no one ever said anything like that. When i signed this bill into law america will have the lowest marginal tax rates and the most modern tax code among major industrialized nations. Patty murray i guess i was wrong was that it wasnt so most of us relieved. Very sad when you think its really a matter of. Donald trump do solemnly swear i will faithfully execute the office of president of the United States also this president of the United States. And theres no question that to put it out. Were well into that world were well into the purposed world but this crisis there were is maybe we want to call it a legitimacy crisis right the status quo or the legitimating framework of capitalism right that has sort of guided us over the past 3 decades and this kind of organizing system has really lost legitimacy the main reason is simply that its been a project that has benefited elites enormously and despite all of the kind of rhetoric of how much you know market flexibility will help workers how much free trade will help you know average people become more skilled and get better jobs the reality is ordinary working families are not doing well in fact theyre doing substantially worse than they were doing a few decades ago and theyre getting injuries or used to be. Youre getting on your little 21 inch screen. And how about america and the max. So this kind of. Has created. At least in its political. And that gave rise to. The elites they look at. Some mean these idiotic hes. Competent hes lazy. At least was a stupid enough to realize that he had to give the corporate c. E. O. s wall street what they wanted which was the. Temporary. Long term for. Private equity he gave the military budget increase. And he d. Regulated Industries Like the e. P. A. And so they tolerated. A number of. Hard core economic libertarians particularly. Individuals like the koch brothers. Made very clear since the early seventys that. Property owners. Democracy to represent those with money those with economic power. We have today because its been shaped and crafted by. Democracy doesnt exist. But instead we have just a constellation of powerful interest groups. It was basically saying individuals cannot be the source of legitimacy in society it has to be done on the basis of self interest. In town and space specialist groups its astonishing when you read this stuff and you see the extent to which that idea of group and us versus the responsibility of the citizen has become increasingly are the decades. It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep thats a famous mussolini quote youre a tweet it was a lead it was was a lady id say ok dont go its a very good quote its a very interesting quote and i know its i saw it i saw what i know who said it but what difference does it make whether is was to lead me as somebody else and so certainly a very interesting quote that you want to be associated with a fascist. No i want to be associated with interesting quotes i think this particular time in American History including trump is one of the most important periods of the history including the revolution and i say that carefully as historian because theyre run out of options and what you see is donald trump is the end of the option of a corporate dominated system it may go to fascism its not at fascism yet thankfully the possibility of something approaching fascism particularly if there is violence particular system the black Community Something of a. Repression attack on Civil Liberties is certainly possible and could be very ugly could be very ugly when you have a system of power where a tiny group of people have all of it are messed up and you have 8 people who control half the wealth when you have a tiny group of people who have all the power you have to have some means to make sure the rest of us dont get together and take it back. You can see that this is the logos been superimposed on to the other fighters face what all these tweets reveal about the thinking of the most powerful man in the world and his priorities and some would argue his humanity by now it is obvious that trump is actually a bad negotiator this symbiotic relationship between trump and his socalled adversaries and c. N. N. B. C its kind of phony when you get right down to it i mean c. N. N. Made a 1000000000 dollars last year cable News Companies will steadily gain and make money during the course of the elections is and then as soon as the election happens their profits will drop off that did not happen with trump he gets 2 scoops of the new r. T. Screen with his chocolate cream pie instead of the single scoop for everyone else theyve continued to make money theyre making bank like never before and trump is definitely the reason everybody understands this. Is the symptom hes not the disease the system was already so corrupt and the anger towards the elites in both the democratic and Republican Party was so pronounced. That his vote garrity actually gave voice to a large segment of the American Public that was sick of being betrayed and lied to we know from 2008 that the segment of the population that has suffered the most economically are africanamerican households. Because they can put forth a black face or a woman in functions as a. Bamma was obama was a brand and thats why after he won in 2008 advertising gave obama its top annual award which was marketer of the year. How can you explain love ive been to 82 countries i did in 12 but i came here and in those 3 days i just filled with hope. And he kept pretty isnt a sick joke. I made my decision to come here because i felt you i could build a new life series the. Companys. Supreme. God decided that this money is no good to be free prospero it if at all. Did you hear i was there my one dream is that all my children d find the same kind of happiness i do. I love my home i love cold weather i like the culture i like the history like everything about it. And i know that. Russian fama. The corporate state doesnt mind having somebody like trump around its sort of embarrassing but they dont really mind providing he brings the taxes down and providing the. Contracts and providing that he does what they want if it gets too annoying to get rid of it. Isnt clear to what extent he understands that he is the sort of. Dancing. Is so good at the youre a good sean youre the greatest ratings when im on your show about people who spend a lot of time and money getting the Supreme Court to remove controls on spending elections putting in place laws that have to do with how corporations run those people are watching carefully to see the extent to which is this boy our boy or not can we really get enough use out of him. Anymore. Like you dont we have ever seen you do it we would make america strong. We would make america go well again we will make america proud and we will make america safe because. People like you are. Going to give up. That theres no word on. It i went back there and i think. They were strapped down here so we got their house like 9 years ago. We were going on 9 years ago but i have to propose to. Stay here because this close to a scrap yard. A every night. It seems theres no good news when it comes to the Housing Market sales of existing homes plunged 8. 6 percent in november as compared to just 6 months 3 of the 5 biggest independent firms on wall street have now disappeared 9 years ago there we went down hill broke apart their family their house their. Work during the month. I was woken by one day and i just happened to peek up here was it was still dark out though the sun had come up and came up and i seen a guy just sitting up there kind of looked like he was sleeping or whatever so i just kept all day and the guy was up there and he was overdosed and he was dead he must have sat there on my knee must survive either frozen death already overdose itself kill them. Destroy the needle and get out of his arm and then everybody comes running by like oh my god where do you get that is everybody wants to go to this well you know i mean its its a pretty sad situation going on out here right. I was because i think im coming here lucky i hear is this right i. Think a white that we were that. Police are sacrificing. Places that capitalism exploited and destroyed for profit. And left behind misery poverty environmental devastation. Are a. I. What have you seen in terms of patterns like over or lets say the last couple years are is up and stable or things getting worse wow would you describe i know within ive been here going on 9 years and over the past couple years b. Are feeding more families and im talking about the husband the wife and the children 20 percent might be actually living on the street. The rest of them may be in low Income Housing or Something Like. 200. 00 people might come in on the 1st day of the month and 400. 00 people might come in on the last day that much but its the people that are coming in towards the end of the month with the children and they tell us im here because i cant pay my electric bill and feed my kids why why do you think that is because they think that despite the fact that the economy has improved for a segment of the population the people that are at the bottom life really hasnt changed as probably even got harder for them. And the rest are you know now you know that everybody calls madam says adams i graduated from a program got how many years ago at actually 2000 where were you in prison i was a Southern State southers my son was but it was a right thats where all the eric white area guards are would one go and has leg is hanging from a tree heads and to me it was.

You see cities that have been sacrificed Youngstown Ohio one of the steel capitals of the world. What these capitalists have done in cities like camden in cities. Like youngstown in southern West Virginia theyre doing everywhere reconfiguring the Global Economy into an incredibly wealthy global oligarchy class dont take this the wrong way but you sound like a left wing nut bar i dont usually go on people defend the character assassination if you want to discuss issues thats fine but i mean the sounds like fox news and i dont go on look you have had very eloquent writers people one can call one candidate who laid this out. With you know incredible lucidity and to somehow attack critique bike on someone. Engages in the kind of trash talk and alluded to corporate are what i write what i get the much for joining us right here i dont know it will be well. Thank you all for being here this very Incredible Group of world class Business Leaders thats what you are these c. E. O. s are in some cases pulling compensation packages in the billions of dollars often defrauding their own shareholders so this is the bill right here that i consider this very much a bill for the middle class have a bill for jobs and jobs are produced or companies and corporations and you see that happening corporations are literally go it wild over this these corporations and banks what do they do with the tax cuts will be bought back their own stock 170800000000. 00 thats how much in buybacks this year that is the most seen this far into a calendar year ever why because if the stock goes up the compensation packages for the managers of these corporations goes up. Its not good for the economy its not even good for their company. Cooperations are literally go to war over the us. Theres a business trying to harvest their harvesting themselves. Thats what. The 62 year old wall street tycoon raked in nearly a half 1000000000. 00 between 2002007 the start of old School Free Market low taxes low everything government doesnt provide anything for anybody kind of conservatism that is the policy preferences of the tiny 8 rich doods who own half the wealth and the you know layer of rich people underneath and it is not popular so you have to get it by other means and so you see things like Voter Suppression building more prisons and disenfranchising people who have spent time in you see gerrymandering you see all sorts of undemocratic practices that are used to make sure that people who might vote their own interests cant vote arent represented when they do vote and then you just see people running like trump promising to bring jobs back to their states and then what they do once in office is a big old bait and switch and its this kind of insane attitude where theyre just looting and stealing as fast as they can as everything collapsed.
