Asking the pols now in power to do all of the things the good Prof. detailed is of course a non-starter since the very forces ( finance ) he's talking about own these folks. . As for the Tea Party using the Populist rage out here to their advantage is again the wealthy just hiring one half of the 99% to kill the other half. So all the rage is essentially buffered. Real grassroots rage like Occupy is actually CRUSHED by direct Police and security / Intell. actions, ordered by those in power.

We've been calling it a plutocracy for a long time now. The professor points out that the plutocracy spectrum just got darker and more deeply entrenched. I think more than ever that elections have become picking the least offensive of two offensive candidates.
