However, the lecture by Richard Wolff doesn't suggest we return the keys to the criminals.
It, admittedly, will take the same kind of courage exhibited by such groups as The Wobblies, The Industrial Workers of the World, in the early 20th century to make the changes Wolff suggests. The Wobblies actually spilled blood to rid this nation of the scourge of child labor, to get us the 40 hour work week and many other benefits that Americans have since lost.
I cringe when I ask myself if those alive today would have done the same for the future of this nation and the workers of this nation and of the world. This corporate run fiasco has put the fear of something or someone into those who live today. Tea Party activists rally in favor of their corporate enemies and against their own best interests. The so called middle class is filled with frightened little boys and girls who believe that the wealthy ruling elite, which I refer to as The Corporacracy, are still working on ensuring that we all attain that "American Dream". They do this as The Corporacracy creates the ultimate American nightmare and that nightmare is called Free Trade.
So, if you haven't seen the Paul video homily, please watch it.
I don't believe in a higher power, so I don't believe in a heaven or a hell. However, on the off-chance that I'm wrong, I hope I see Friedman and Paul right there next to me, burning for conducting their all out war against the American middle class.
To friendship,
Michael
