My premise is that most politicians say anything that furthers their agenda and helps them get elected. My dream is that by pointing out that what they say is a sham and shaming them for posturing, they will posture less and govern better. I don't expect success. If Jon Stewart and Tucker Carlson have been unsuccessful, what chance do I have? I also occasionally add my own commentary and thoughts. The opinions here are mine. No one reviews or approves what I post.

Robert Reich says billionaires should fear "us all"
Saying one group in our country should fear another group is a shame. I expect the leader of a communist revolution to say that some folks should fear "us", but not a former Secretary of Labor. Our constitution is an attempt "to form a more perfect union" (emphasis added) and put in roadblocks to keep one group ruling without having broader support from other groups. If we think that having the 1% fear the 99% is OK, then we have no reason to think that having the 49% fear the 51% is not. We don't want people to fear government coercion; we want government to bring together all people to solve problems that they can''t solve well through voluntary action and exchange.
