PLUTOCRACY



“We have this community of rich people who genuinely believe that they are the wealth creators and they should get every advantage and break, whereas everybody else is a parasite and they’re living off of them.”

-- Matt Taibbi

“You know, 2008 is not so long ago, and already, the anti-regulation chorus is so strong. How dare they have the gall to actually argue that too much regulation of American financial services is what is killing the economy?”

-- Chrystia Freeman

From another terrific episode of Moyers & Company, where Taibbi and Freeman discussed with host Bill Moyers, their observations of the top 1%, and the incredible growth of their power and privilege over the rest of us.
