Everything wrong with the US in 3 minutes: Bill Moyers

http://www.demonews.org/watch-bill-moyers-lays-out-everything-wrong-with-america-in-3-minutes/

In this short but very informative segment, Bill Moyers takes on America’s “drift towards oligarchy” and “epidemic” of income inequality , citing statistics on the income gap and studies on the subject that provide a stark warning that we are quickly drifting towards a system in which a small group of wealthy people wield massive control over out political system.
He blamed Congress for enshrining a culture of corporate corruption and implementing an unfair tax system, and mocks Supreme Court Justice John Roberts for taking bribes for his decisions, and notes that America’s politicians bend over backwards to pay back the investments made by their corporate benefactors.
