I don't normally post these TYT "hour" videos here, but the last 15 minutes of this video is something that every DU member (and every citizen of the US) needs to see. I recommend the whole video (much of which is excerpted in smaller TYT videos today), but start at 26:30 and watch to the end.

Cenk begins by talking about the massive disconnect between the financial/political world and the real world that most of us occupy, and how in that world of finance the sense of entitlement is staggering and stunning. He then explains that because of deregulation (and the control of the financial institutions over our government), the financial world has ended up with our money in their pockets. They don't think there is anything wrong with that, because it was all "legal". Which is why actual, strong re-regulation is absolutely necessary - to claw back those ill-gotten gains, and prevent the coming second crash.

The system has been gamed to the point where our money is just being vacuumed up by the already rich, who think they are entitled to it.

Cenk ends by stating the obvious -that Obama is NOT the man for this job. He either doesn't understand the problem (which is not likely) or he understands that understanding it will cost him his job. (There is a Sinclair Lewis quote in there somewhere).

This is some of the most important video I've seen from Cenk - please check it out.

1. You don't get it, do you?

She can confess to being a witch, but since then she has been SAVED BY JEEEEESUS! HALLELUJAH! and so she is forgiven for hanging around with Harry Potter. But if it was Harry Pothead she was pals with, well, that's gonna sink your political career.

4. Cenk hits the nail on,.. no change is coming (from the inside!)

Obama is a slightly nicer face on the corporate-bankster-pyramid-scam that is "western democracy" or more accurately corporate fascism. He is not as blatantly evil as the re-pugs that came before. However, he will not change the system. The system he is a part of, and that gives him his power? No never. This is the same for most of the people you know, they are not willing to change anything that is giving them power and wealth, no mater how evil, corrupted, and destructive it is. The will just not see these things,. or at least they will not admit them to you. just following orders,. just working within the system,. in side the law,. no mater how destructive it is,. .

And Cenk is right that they STOLE YOUR MONEY and your mom's retirement money too,. they give money to banksters and then that amount becomes the "deficit" that needs to be payed back to banksters,. and then interest is added and it will take 50 years compounded to pay down the debt,. and we have to cut programs of social uplift to pay the banlsters back,. but we got loads of cash for new jet fighters,. and more weapons, and the endless war,. there is just always endless war,. America is ALWAYS at war! 1984 is now,. .

Cenk is also right that another crash is coming,. well this current one has not really stopped, and will just get worse,. the banksters just don't have enough of your money yet,. and they never will,. till they have it all!! and you are an actual slave,. . not just a wage slave as you are now.

Seek out and watch the last stand-up of George Carlin,. "It's bad for you" he sums it up nicely and adds some humor.., you'll need it!

5. Bread and circuses

So long as the grocery store shelves are still full and the gas stations still pump, the American people won't revolt. Never gonna happen.

6. I think the good stuff starts at about 17 :20

Excellent information regarding taxation and economics throughout the last 2/3 of this video. Cenk makes the wonky stuff quite easy for average folks to understand. Awesome ammunition to use against conservative talking points.
