This video has been on DU many times over and over. I think it is the highest quality and most concise summary of the current state of public affairs in America RIGHT THIS VERY MINUTE! (This particular version has a transcript, btw.)




"And now they're comin' for your SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it BACK. So they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it ALL from you sooner or later -- 'cuz they OWN this fuckin' place. It's a big CLUB. And YOU AIN'T IN IT."



This entire DEBT CEILING KABUKI is the moment in history when they COME FOR OUR SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY!

The POWERS THAT BE do indeed seem to be hell bent on owning all of us and turning us into middle ages feudal corporate serfs.

Sucks to be THE BOTTOM 98% IN AMERICA AND MOST OF THE REST OF THE WORLD, don't it?

-90% Jimmy

3. Until people Accept this, Nothing will change
this is our reality and it's ironic because we only hear it from comedians... this country is a fucking bad joke. Okay everyone, back to your scripted "reality" shows.

5. When this Murdoch thing is over
I believe FOX's penance should be to have this run continuously on split screen with their regular programming, 24/7.

7. Murdoch-gate / Fox News
true enough is scandalous and repugnant.

But it is distracting us from the robbery ongoing with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
