  1. I like what this guy says, and I hope he gets a lot of media attention. We need to have these discussions, but discussion has been shut down because this country is not longer democratic, it is not longer capitalist, it is fascist/corporatist and plutocratic. Money comes before people, before the environment, and before the law. Rich people just bribe the system so that laws do not apply, they legislate so that they do not have to pay taxes or respect other Americans. It shows that America is weak and not confident to believe in its own ideals. I am not sure a Chinese guy can be heard by Americans or be elected, but what he has to say is right on and very important. He had got a number of pieces of the problem very right.

  2. He has got one thing wrong ... it is not the displaced factory workers than voted for Trump, it is the Middle Class remnants, mostly white that fear losing status and blame that on having to share their wealth with the poor - so they transform the poor into any kind of threat they can come up with. They are illegal immigrants. They are communists. They are from shithole countries. They cannot be trusted to have the same integrity that people like Donald Trump has, blah, blah, blah ... all lies, but lies to provoke people to fight amongst each other. Either we believe in justice, rule of law and morality or we don't ... and so far it does not seem like we do.

  3. Republicans always say Democrat's solution are too expensive, but you have to remember that they are only expensive to the rich who have way more than they need and are not leveraging their wealth to bring growth and better living to the country. The costs that are too expensive for the Republicans, and some Democrats are costs of lack of education, lack of health care, lack of human rights and respect, that are all being born now by the poor and middle classes. In other words the poverty wages are too expensive for them to live on, but they have no choice, and they have no voice, so only the establishment gets to complain about costs. The one thing that is needed to square the circle is some way to bring down the population to ensure that social costs do not spiral out of control and at some point will become easier and cheaper to handle.
