'The Treason of the Senate': Bill Moyers explains who really owns America
October 11, 10:16 PMBoston Liberal ExaminerScott Gibbs

...................

America was lost, stolen and sold. All at the same time. And right out from under us.

It was lost when we diverted our attention to the nonsensical; abortion, illegal immigrants, same-sex marriage. It was stolen by our politicians. Who, in turn, sold it to Corporate America. And then we got fat on grease and sugar and drugs. And sleepy. And so we went to sleep.

But then we woke to discover that we were slaves.

We are their slaves, the corporations. And our masters have shackled us by creating a false vision of freedom in exchange for our souls. And we've gleefully followed. We held out our hands and laughed as they hacked them off. Smiling politicians and screaming pundits on radio and television have sold us a steady assembly line of distractions as the real rulers of America raped and pillaged a nation.

3. Thank you Mr Moyers.

There is no good reason for a Senate. Jefferson didn't think we needed one.
