Search YouTube for Chris Hedges and his talk "The Death of the Liberal Class." 45 sobering minutes on how corporations, since WWI, slowly took over control of not just American government (federal, state and local) but also our judiciary, culture, education system and news media (print and electronic). Listen for how he explains the reason why liberals are tolerated in modern American society, mainly because they are essentially totally ineffective. He is particularly hard on Bill Clinton and Barak Obama (and the Democratic party as a whole) for their complete selling-out of liberal values and of the American middle class. The follow-up video is the Q&A after his talk, another 39 minutes worth watching.
