Eight people sipping wineMay 3, 2009
The most interesting part of this documentary, in my opinion, is Robert Reich’s conclusion that if we will concede to a consumer based politics, we might as well let business run the show because they can do it better. I’m sure he meant that statement as a joke, but is it not exactly where we have ended up? Was it a joke or an unconscious admission of guilt, a Freudian slip? I’m sure everybody will take from these videos whatever re-enforces their own pre-existing beliefs. I see evidence that big government politics, regardless of old or new, by Robert Reich’s own admission, leads inevitably to corporatist fascism. If you want to get elected you must appeal to desires and nobody does it better than Madison Avenue, hence the alliance of government and business we’re suffering from today that strangles capitalism and innovation. If you want to punish irresponsible big business executives, you must first defeat their foot soldiers in government manning the front lines. They are together, defending their power, against our best interests. part 1 part 2 part 3 part 4 part 5 part 6 No related posts.

To get elected you have to sell your soul and now we have Clinton and Blair times ten. This guy will say anything…. ahhhhhh…. to satisfy.
As Charles Krauthammer says, “he’s still campaigning.”
Alice, are you using Internet Explorer 6? I just recently trying IE6 and found the videos don’t work. That’s an ancient browser that many people don’t support anymore because of security issues. If yes, you should upgrade to 7, or 8, or try firefox (firefox.com).
