These are two great videos, I\u2019m so glad I took the time to watch them. The middle class is shrinking while (alliteration alert), capital, cash, and control continues to concentrate in the hands of corporations which do not care about the common good. This point is made clear in these two short clips from Jon Stewart on the Daily Show \u2013 this part wasn\u2019t on the broadcast, but is only on the internet. We cannot simply blame Democrats, or blame Republicans \u2013 the problem is both of them have a myopic vision of our society and the world. Mark Twain was perhaps the best American satirist ever \u2013 Jon Stewart is the best for our time. When the jack-in-the-back comedian is one of the only ones making the larger point\u2026 you have derailed as a society. Robert Reich is making a lot of sense, too. He says the takeover of Washington by corporations is \u201ca moral crisis.\u201d Watch these with an open mind.\n
