Great speech. Makes too much sense, so guaranteed not to happen. Self serving politicians, personal and Corp greed will always impede progress for the many.
"But, unfortunately, we are being run by rich people who want more money than they actually need."
Not just more than they need, but more than they can reasonably spend in a lifetime. They want to create dynasties of wealth, to shelter their decedents from the ravages of the free market in perpetuity. They claim that wealth inequality is the result of a meritocracy, but they work hard to ensure that that is not so, that their decedents lead the best life America has to offer, while being required to contribute nothing but a small portion of their rent, stock dividends and other un-earned income.
Charlie Wilson, former CEO of GM and later Eisenhower's Sec. of Defense, was quoted saying: "Whatever is good for General Motors is good for America". Fifty years earlier, Calvin Coolidge had said: "The business of America is business". Is it any wonder that we are a nation that worships only money and its evil twin: power.
Thanks for the commentary. I’m an old Roosevelt Democrat, who went independent over a decade ago when it dawned on me that the Democratic Party had abandoned Roosevelt and the common citizen in favor of the corporations. So I like the Rooseveltian streak in your writings.
I’ve got a question which has nothing to do with your article, but I hope you can help me with as a colleague of Ralph Nader. Specifically,I joined Mr. Nader’s citizen group a few years ago. I forget it’s formal name. At any rate, I’d write to Mr. Nader asking him to share the identities of others in my state of Montana who also signed up so I could contact them and get organized. I’d never get an answer. Would it be possible for you to find out?
I’m a good organizer. For decades, I’ve been organizing my fellow Montanans to vote for independent judges, but I can’t organize through Mr. Nader’s group if I don’t know whose in the group.
Sorry for this unorthodox request. Trying to find something that works.
David, even a brief look at the events and forces surrounding the RFK assassination make a mockery of the so called investigation that is of course every bit as ludicrous as the MLK and JFK murders.
They all stink of Allen Dulles, MK Ultra and fellow far right travelers in the obsessive quest to “save” rampant Capitalism from the slightest threat of democratic socialism, much less Communism.

As usual David. I completely agree with you--truth is I agree with about 98% of everything I have heard you say or write. Not bad in the scheme of things. Here is my take on the Media and the Debt Deal, Trump, etc. https://www.salon.com/2023/06/05/the-press-cluelessly-fan-the-flames-of-fascism/
GREAT SPEECH!!!! All of it Great!!!! But many are so Brainwashed that they will not believe it!!!!! No matter what!!!!
