This is the classical fascist narrative - an illuminated figure, a "saviour" arises at the horizon, unifies the people, and leads them to a golden age. IMHO this is a tendency we can currently observe everywhere in the "western world" as a *reactionist* movement in reply to plutocratic tendencies that call themselves (neo-) liberal.

Comparatively, the future of today's millennials is bleak. But that generation has been so distracted and stupefied by social media they don't bother even to vote. This election just past might have been American democracy's last gasp at reining in the power of the super rich. If the inheritance tax is eliminated, as Trump is advocating, by 2030 a tiny aristocracy of a few hundred families whose wealth was inherited, not earned, will control this country by funding the campaigns of elected representatives. And their wealth will exceed that of the rest of the country combined. Meanwhile, at the bottom, people will struggle just to survive. Of course this kind of society cannot go on indefinitely. Either there will be a bloody civil war, or some totalitarian state will usurp America's power. I got a chill when Kugman acknowledged to Moyers that it's all over for America in terms of reasonable income equality. The ship has left the harbor. The stooges of the super rich, the Republicans, are now in charge. They will go about eliminating remaining taxes on the rich, and defunding any remaining social assistance programs: Obamacare, Social Security, Medicare, and so on. This isn't speculation: it's the Republican's publically announced agenda for the next Congress. By the time the millennials catch on it will be too late. It's already too late, says America's leading economist. Over the next decade or so left I expect to see America's best and brightest begin to leave this country for a better life elsewhere. As for the rest of us, well, we won't be able to keep up the pretense of prosperity much longer. Our only hope is that the millennials wake up, raise hell, and organize. They've got the numbers and they've definitely got the motivation. But their helicoptered childhood has left them unprepared to do battle, and battle must be done -- not in the streets, but in the corridors of politics. If they can revitalize the Democratic party and make the source of practical social programs like Social Security and Medicare to help reduce income inequality, that party will once again have meaning. Now is the time, before the upcoming administration undoes all the social progress made over the past 60 years.

This video needs more views so people wake up, and can start to at least build they’re own assets and produce the income that only the 1% have enjoyed exclusively. It’s sad. We not even on the playing field

Makes ever more sense than it did years ago when first seen. Surprising!

I’m watching this in 2020, and this even more so a reality. We’ve reached a point where there are a select few corporations, who have bought out entire industries and brands. It’s more important than ever, that we support our local shops and farms. Otherwise, these smaller operations, who still take pride in keeping our communities healthy, will become obsolete. We will then only have access to food, which is produces and manufactured, by the large corps who have been poisoning us for years. This is also true for our healthcare industry, which has long ago, dismantled the natural medicine industry. It’s gradually making a comeback, but we need to push that it be treated as equal, and used alongside modern medicines. That being said... it’s never too late for change, and wealth can only be sustained, if we continue to buy their products. We all have the power to level the playing field on wealth, and shift some of that money, back down the pyramid.

Shared housing what used to be considered homeless is now normal and homeless population does not exist. 12 trillion dollars of stimulus into the economy did not drop a dime on the streets of homeless people.

Bravo Mr. Moyers and Professor Krugman for having cojones.

I think the fiction that we are in control of our lives is more important than we like to think. So much of who you are, who you will become, what you will be, is determined by who you are born to, who you associate with, where you grew up. There is a reason Alexander the Great got Aristotle as his personal tutor and you got a cranky, unmotivated teacher (I have seen situations where someone who didn't understand the quadratic equation was teaching HS physics). There is some room for autonomy, some room for entrepreneurial outliers, but as they say within the first 5 minutes - "patrimonial capitalism." Well we have always been patrimonial in all ways throughout human history, always multi-generational in how things turn out. It is just so hard to see because you only live one life! Nepotism and the benefits of your family, which were inherited from the benefits of your grand-family, etc., tracing as far back as you like, are going to determine many things about who you are and what you are going to be able to accomplish.

The lack of spending is also the result of less money available. People are "fighting" over what's left, to pay basic bills. With 8 billion people on the planet there is no shortage of labor. Remember the 'laws of supply and demand'?

When they say founding fathers I think of killers and the beneficiaries of killers who never once considered the precedence they were setting by keeping the lands murdering thieves stole from the previous inhabitants. Inhabitants who lived there for tens of thousands of years. Every other empire that gained lands through killing and unjustly colonizing had all been dissolved. From the Roman Empire who colonized Britain and no longer ruled, to the Mongolians who also conquered through killing. Empires dissolved, completing a cycle of justice. The Europeans, on the other hand, merely changed their name to Americans and got away with the world’s most downplayed genocides. They erased the tens of thousands of years of history any survivors of the onslaught of those people are denied, forced even to call themselves native Americans, as if 300 years outweighs tens of thousands of years.

Wealth is VASTLY overrated. My friend has a very wealthy acquaintance who says she never has a moments peace or quiet. The leering "Help" is everywhere! 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365. Cutting lawn, steam-cleaning the driveway, washing windows, polishing silver, trimming trees, painting walls, banging pots in the kitchen, washing dishes, packing sideboards, dusting furniture, doing laundry, washing cars, in hallways, in rooms, vacuuming carpets, in the yard, cleaning the pool, tending livery, walking the dogs, ironing clothes. She writes checks and pays for repairs all day long. The help always whispering and shuffling about quickly to 'be out the way.' She told me once her happiest moment is when we all go for a bowl of Chile at Barney's the local dive just so she can escape the help. A day at her mansion is exhausting. NO THANK YOU.

Good thing these "experts" are finally seeing what has been blatantly obvious to us poor people since we've been alive. Good job...

We WERE a constitutional Republic...not a corporate democracy! STOP calling us a democracy!

steve nunua We were just a republic that represented only the plutocracy. You had to have a sufficient valued set of property to vote, a male at around 21, and generally show some European decent. The senate wasn't even voted by the general public, but by the oligarchs who tended to have the leisure time to run for office for the House. Same for voting for the president, only the House and Senate voted. Slavery and servitude with a very strong cast system existed. Duels were often conducted. And people thought bleeding would balance "humors" to cure colds and other illnesses when really it causes all conditions to get worse. We've changed since backward backwater days of our countries inception both in our scientific understanding, and in our democratic we the people for the people by the people democratic government. We're currently a democratic representative democracy. Our constitution has continuously been updated. In fact, the first amendments to our constitutions happened in 1794 11th amendment. Not to much mention the first 10 amendments were amending the first articles of the confederate that weren't working. Presidential procedures amended in 1803 where the states would determine electorate for voting for president where the states tended to open the vote to property owner votes. Later changed again in 1866 14th amendment. Various other constitutional amendments now recognize adults 18 or older, all citizens regardless of economic class, racial class, or gender, may vote. Stop calling us not a democracy. And quit wanting some plutocracy. That's sheer stupidity.

jmitterii2 First understand the authoritarian and human nature. The best covert action was to invent a bunch of documents to cover up their authoritarianism. That was done with the bull shit of a Republic, liberty, freedom and our 3 documents we hold so dear that actually gave the power to the government, not the people. The people loved it and worked to get the carrot of freedom and liberty that was only a ruse from the start. We built a powerful country in a few short hundred years probably exceeding even their expectations of their spin and lies. Americans are obviously more gullible then most. Then around 1900 the slow boil to the same old totalitarian oligarchy began...and that is what we have today.

11:25. Funny how people who accumulate some wealth and think they are part of the wealthy class. Yet, they could be wiped out in any major economic crash. They have no idea what real wealth is.

The 1% starts out at a net worth of about $10 Million. Most people at that level or above can - with use of brain power - prevent being wiped out.

From what I’ve observed for over 65 yrs., is, the candidate you describe, won’t get elected. Elections have been being planned, several decades ahead, for at the very least, since the 1950s. Only candidates who are willing to be the new Puppet, & belong to those groups who puppeteer, at least at a certain level, will get elected. Manipulations vary, but, essentially, candidates who label themselves Reps or Dems, make it to the final election; the others are distractions effectively used to minimize how many votes are needed to elect the desired Puppets. What government we used to have prior to the Civil War, has been drastically reduced in efficacy, corrupted by corporate interests that run the government by buying influence, dividing/conquering public, & baffling everyone w/disinformation in epic quantities. And more. It’s gotten to the point that even individuals need to incorporate, just to begin to survive. Even religions have had to become first corporations, and only then, non-profit. Corporations have mostly become corrupt, pointedly focused on profiteering at any/all costs. And those are what’s really running everything we live with. THATs gotta change to far better, more humanistic, more ethical, more aligned with rebuilding Life on the planet, instead of destroying it.

We are like a bunch of chickens in line. You know the packaging is coming but there's nothing you can do about it

What you have is the 8th wonder of the world Albert Einstein reportedly said it. “Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn't, pays it. Or in this case he who understands it, earns it, keeps it, and avoids paying tax on it.

I DO miss this most informative program. It figures that (in the koch era) the only unfltered reputable news and commentary show PBS had would be shoved off the docket.

The predatory capitalist is a parasite of Labor. The predator lives as a veritable god while Labor struggles to make ends meet. That's some system.
