OMG...thanks to everyone involved with doing this most important work on behalf of the Democracy of America. What absolute Earth Angels you all are. True Patriots. I can never thank you enough and I wish Bill Moyers would get into politics but at this point, he's probably doing much more good doing his show than he could in office. In fact, yes, he is--the System must be changed before progress can be made and that is what he--and everyone involved in the show are doing by raising awareness and bringing the shadow government into the Light of Truth.
Chris Foster And their power leads to all the tax breaks and bonuses they were supposed to let trickledown to the working class. 😂 They could sprinkle down a few dollars to raise the minimum wage so ppl can earn an acceptable living with all the tax money they hide offshore like the Cayman Islands.
This is why it's so important to vote at the State level. We need to exercise our Rights at the district level when we vote, which is typically twice every year. Understand what is going on with our State Leaders...
Not to mention, people screaming about "limited" federal government. Well of course, limited means less regulation, less oversight by the federal government. This video explains why that's so important to the propagandists.
John Nichols summary emphasizes that they don't need to go to Washington to accomplish these corporate welfare impacts. But he should have included the fact that you don't need to go to each state and follow lobby laws either, the states come to you.
The real problem is the senators and others who actually follow and put into law what Alec writes down. That is where the vote comes in. vote these people out if you don't like what they try to put into law. If you like them vote them back in. Groups like Alec are allowed by law because they are just a group of people, like a political party.
At 4:29 finally the truth. Not that African Americans don't already know. But it's a George Floyd moment. There are people who need to see & hear this for themselves.
The group I’m referencing is called Progressive States Network, the liberal doppelganger of ALEC in every discernible respect. Except in the obsessively-vilified-by-liberals respect.
Except they don't have the John Birch Society funding them. That's right, the Koch brothers (Koch Industries) are simply a repackaged version of their dad's racist John Birch Society. The Tea Party just happened to come into existence as a reaction to the election of the 1st African American POTUS. (Even Sarah Palin admits that). The Tea Party is an astroturf group founded by the same old racist Koch family. Further, the Progressive States Network doesn't have anywhere near the reach of ALEC. ALEC funds the GOP and the RNC. ALL the Republicans in Congress are Tea Party backed. MOST DEMOCRATS aren't even liberal, and even fewer are progressive. That's like trying to claim George Soros is the liberal equivalent of the Kochs. The Kochs have their fingers in EVERYTHING. Not so George Soros. So dream on and keep sipping that Kool-Aid; SOME DAY you'll wake up realize this is no longer a Representative Democracy. Farewell to the US Constitution. Farewell to the Bill of Rights.
doug wert ah so a troll that doesn't care to say anything. So you are asking questions you don't really care to be answered. Ok thanks for letting me know. Also I have watched the video. Not that you really care ,right. I am going to see if you really are just being an apathetic troll ... please do respond. Just wondering what your point of asking me any question was. Not like my opinion alone changes the facts just like any one else's. Reality of the truth is the truth regardless said or not. Let's not go into fallacies with any conversation held serious. Why only pick my comment to question about? Would absolute censorship of every one please you? Why not just watch the video and ignore all RU-vid comments if you feel offended, or if my words bother you? If you are offended by me there is always the block button. Then as well, have you watched the video? What do you think about it? Echoing what I say isn't going to change or inform us of anything new either. That is if you really care. If you don't care about what you say why should anyone else?
+Jerry Hamilton lol do you know what they really do? Most of what they do is to expose this shit and to show full transparency in government. Check it out
Obviously this video is put together by a liberal think tank. Privatized education is not necessarily a bad thing. Public schools need greater competition to force it to improve the education system. Also, many environmental rules today are not made by elected officials rather they are made by non elected bureaucrats. That should never be the case in any state.
