What Happened to the American Dream?

Sen. Bernie Sanders discusses oligarchy in a Senate floor speech.

[Cerise]

I'm British and American. I want Bernie in this election so fucking bad... I might just have to move back to North Carolina to vote. Please, Americans, PLEASE, help this guy beat out Hilary... I want MY America back... not this current BS.

[BLTspace]

It's sad this only has 60k views. If you are on a Bernie video marathon please like the videos and share if you can. This stuff needs to be seen and heard.

[RyanJohnson]

Wow I had no idea that America had SO many poor people... 46.5 MILLION Americans under the poverty line.

[PremierCCGuyMMXVI]

I like Biden. But I wish Sanders won. He’s so right and represents America

[rodolfoturla]

The sad part is most Americans still dont believe that the problem is BOTH parties. Doesnt matter who is in charge, the story stays the same. 

[corinnavillalobos]

He hit it right on the nail about the point of wealth inequality.

[TheMedivalBlast]

When some conservatives and libertarian hear socialist, they go like crazy, but forget that America already has socialist programs in place: Food stamps, public schools, fire & police department, the roads and heck, even the military!

[shmeckle]

Sanders for Supreme Court! No term limits!

TRUTH from Senator Sanders about the shameful income inequality in the USA!   But  will the American people listen?   Will the Big Interests get out there and try to silence him?   Will the organization that runs the Democrat party refuse to support him because he can't raise enough money from the Big Interests that he opposes  to fight the "public relations" battles fought in the media.  

Is there any BIG MONEY out there who will support Senator Sanders because they believe he tells hard truths that The American People need to hear?    Will they step up?   .

People have poor understanding of how economics work in the long term. Long term increasing Income inequality is not something based on people being 'lazy' it's not something based on 'luck' or 'hard work'. It's a monopoly, it's the final consequence of complete unregulated and corrupt capitalism. Rather we like it or not, we do live in a shared economy, everyone who works produces something, and when production rates are high, the country gets rich. Now US is a rich nation, yet has a massive amount of people living in poverty, working many jobs, getting educated but finding themselves unable to advance up. Where is all this money? That's when the monopoly comes in, take a look at all the companies you see around in every town, in every state, and track them back to their original owner. You'll come to find that almost all major businesses are owned by the same few people and corporations. They are taking ALL the wealth of the nation to themselves, just a few people, and due to their enormous wealth, they can make it impossible for other smaller businesses to compete with them. Whenever competition arises, they buy them out or crush them, and then continue to profit. They are now the choosers of who gets to advance up and who doesn't, they choose what wages they pay you, and they have decided to keep paying less and less, so that they can earn more and more. The truth is, without any regulation, the numbers will keep tilting to their side, until the day comes that they have 90% of all wealth, and they are paying your kids and the former 'middle class' whatever slave wages they choose to. Simply because they know that no one has a choice or a say. They, are the new Royal family, they are the new system of hierarchy. A monopoly on wealth and control are the reason people fled the UK and founded America, a land that promised freedom for everyone to make it out of poverty and enjoy the security of a Middle Class life, and now America is becoming just as bad and in many ways worse, because the public refuses to acknowledge this consequence. Being deluded to thinking, that if they keep supporting this system, somehow they'll end up in the higher percentage, well the odds are slim to none and you are sacrificing the opportunity of your children to ever be able to enjoy middle class life. You are selling the future generation to poverty, under the illusion that someone on the top, will maybe someday throw you a good bone if you just 'work hard' enough.

Can someone please explain to me why a CEO has a multi million dollar salary?

This man understands what we're up against.

There's nothing the oligarchs fear more than that we should discover our power.
