Many thanks to everyone who posted such kind and encouraging responses yesterday! I am very grateful and pleased.
I think the song/video does what I wanted it to do: Deliver a simple, direct and clear message that perhaps can pierce through the clutter and clamor of what passes for political discourse these days.
Our society appears to have decided to accept a level of economic injustice and unfairness unique to Western industrialized nations. It is truly appalling.
And yet...there's this, too:
Americans Want Fairer Distribution of Wealth: Study
Forget the socialist-bashing rhetoric and reverence for the filthy rich, when it comes to wealth distribution, Americans -- even Republicans -- would really rather live somewhere like Sweden.
According to a soon-to-be published study by researchers at Harvard and Duke universities, Americans believe US society is much more equal than it really is, and want it to be even fairer.
In a blind test, about 92 percent of respondents said they preferred a model closer to Sweden's wealth distribution to that seen in the United States.
My conclusion: Propaganda works.
Below is the link to my "propaganda." Please share it with as many people as possible.
Thanks again!
