How the rich and their servants in government blamed every body else for the excesses of the rich

It is not just a recent event, but events over the centuries. Politicians are bought by people with money.

 This brilliant animated fairy tale is narrated by Ed Asner, with animation by Mike Konopacki. Written and directed by Fred Glass for the California Federation of Teachers. An 8 minute video about how we arrived at this moment of poorly funded public services and widening economic inequality. 

 Things go downhill in a happy and prosperous land after the rich decide they don't want to pay taxes anymore. They tell the people that there is no alternative, but the people aren't so sure. This land bears a startling resemblance to our land.

    I hope this gets wide distribution in the US as well as in the UK.

    I am convinced that generations of SCHOOLING have produced conformist automata incapable of realising their institutionalised state. To question authority is to break programme.
