Robert Reich has a new film on Netflix about the stagnant wages

[BigmanPigman]

and how trickle down economics doesn't and won't ever work (Reagan started this shit). Ali Velshi had him on his show today on MSNBC. He also discussed how the three richest Americans have more money than a couple of million Americans combined and the same holds true for the rest of the planet and the super rich oligarchs.
It is called Saving Capitalism. I saw his 2013 film Inequality For All and it was really good.

It is called Saving Capitalsm. He is alsways a wonderful speaker and makes things easy to understand (Economics is always a little confusing to me anyway).

5. Watching it now...Found this and had to post...

Stunning results of 20 year (Princeton/Northwestern researchers) study that:

1.) Issues that hardly anyone supports have a 30% chance of becoming law [say TRUMPCARE though they did not mention it]

and

2.) issues that almost everyone supports [greater gun control in some fashion perhaps?] have only a 30% chance of passing.

So - they concluded the preferences of the average person have a NEAR ZERO influence on public policy!

And people wonder why so few people bother to vote???

6. I wish I had Netfilx!

Are the reasons that you mentioned for the backwards legislation due to mega rich downers who have Congress in their pockets?
