      ​@@Carlos-sd6cz "For a Sovereign to maintain his estate he is dependent on the health and fortitude of his population of subjects. He seeks to cultivate in them a robust education, and keep to his Kingdom progress of the best known order. That he may remain, by the highest quality, informed as to matters of court, cult, scientia and weaponry, lest a King risk his tempo being slowed in the race for military strength, and almighty power to that of his enemies which loom outside the walls. It stands, therefore, that the line between subject and slave is dependent, mostly, on the size, and of the veracity of those threatening entities the Sovereign, at present, is under fret of. For, while it may be a simple matter that the King can easily appreciate the value his subjects offer while existing under the foreboding specter of war, I should think in times of great security a Sovereign might have wont to begin to see them as a burden"

      @@mito88 I Agree, Exactly... Best for whom?
      When your expenses match or exceed your income out of necessity and because of a financial system setup to benefit the rich and elite the blue color worker and the poor become Literally slaves... Legally ... Even if they are not called that.
      In a fair and just society which aims to provide equality to everyone, the average workers rent should never exceed one week of his labor and all his living expenses and taxes should never exceed another week of his income, and he should always be able to have a NET income of one half of all his labors to save or spend on his/her family.
      I will keep dreaming because the interest of every entity focused on making profit is in conflict with social equity by its fundamental existence.
      I am for law and order, but I am also for social justice, and for a universal income system indexed to inflation and other systems of checks and balances to achieve the above financial goals of the individual.

    Honestly, as someone who has been all levels of poor and middle class (I have been both unemployed and in the verge of eviction and a well to do socialite who earned almost twice the average and spent his weekends with doctors and lawyers - I'm now back to lower-middle class), I can safely say that the whole rich getting richer thing wouldn't bother "the rest of us" so much if "the rich" (not all, some) wouldn't spend so much time making sure "the rest of us" remained dirt poor.

      Ken Clow Freeland supports Mike Pompeo and Trump with the coups on socialist governments like Bolivia.
      You guys are indoctrinated.
      The implication that the last 75 years haven’t been OUR bombs killing people, is ridiculous.
      The responder wasn’t “defending communism”. He was accurately exposing your cliche stump speech of inaccurate labels.
      US (so Canada too) support 70% of dictators. The last 75 years are our bombs killing for profit, or sanction regulations, that Cons cheerlead and Libs support.
      There are plenty of examples of democratic socialist governments working. When it happens in South America, the CIA destroys it and supports the Pinochets of the world.
      The question is, what do you think communism is? Or socialism? Stalin and Mao are not the only examples. That’s like saying Hillary Clinton is a capitalist like Teddy Roosevelt.
      I’ll take George Orwell over Canadian and American conservative jargon. You guys should try it.

As a military leader he was a supporter of the Republic, and key to the revolution's success. But then seized power in a coup, and declared himself Emperor. Then he conquered Austria-Hungary, Western Rhineland/ Germany and Nederlands, and declared himself Emperor of all of them. But he also conquered Rome! And just gave France back to the Pope.

      Don’t worry these less than useful workers will just collect welfare. Talking to uneducated people is like talking to a wall, they do not have the IQ or EQ to comprehend anything other than their own sense of survival, that would include stealing or scamming or victimizing themselves but never getting an education to comprehend and engage in intellectual exchange of idea with other intellects. That’s the reality of the situation. My company prefer to hire such people instead of more intellectual people, though they are well paid positions. I have thrown in the towel to try to change things. I suppose the social structure is like this. As things progress we do not need low skill workers and yet governments are still importing them in with open door policies.

    Since the conservative shift in the 1980s, we have shifted resources from the general population and given them to the top 1%. We cut spending on education, research, infrastructure, workforce, poverty, etc. to provide tax cuts for the rich. The result is what one would expect: incomes didn't go up, upward mobility declined, poverty increased, educ fell..but the rich is doing great! The country did much better with a moderate approach and by investing in the country's shared progress.

    Low interest rates and consumerist culture (driven by ads, social media) encourage regular people to borrow money to spend. Stagnate income and inflation force people to borrow money to spend. Money printed out of thin air (from borrowing and quantitative easing) goes to the super-rich, and they hold on to that wealth. This is how the super-rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
    To get out of this, raise interest rate (to discourage people from over-borrowing), lower inflation to 0% (to encourage people to save), and stop giving money printed out of thin air to the super-rich.

    Nail guns and sprayers aren't a form of automation. Those are just incremental improvements for the same workers to use to do the same job in a slightly faster way. Automation would be things like ATMs, robots that build cars, lumber mill systems that load, plan and cut trees into wood, etc... And what those tools did was reduce the workforce needed to do a given job, thereby requiring that some of the workforce learn the new way to do things while others had to find other jobs to do.

The obsession with giving too much power over the market to a single group (government) has backfired and caused even MORE concentration of wealth than we've ever seen. Trying to "regulate" the market, especially to the extreme levels that we see today has failed. Govt can't solve all of our problems. Sometimes they end up creating them.

In the 80s, 1 in 10 employees at microsoft were millionaires all because of 2 people. how many other millionaires is it responsible for and is never talked about in talks like this. she might have mentioned that Gates and Buffet alone are giving away more money than all the 1% had in the last century. A trolley car driver in san francisco makes over 75k with almost full pay after retirement.

I assure you no one who worked on it was underpaid. too many of the 99% make too mush money in the US for the skill level when there are many with better skills could do the job better. she might have mention that these are some of the smartest and well run companies in the world and US is lucky to have them.

    This talk is interesting inasmuch as watching it almost 7 years later, it's fairly apparent that the situation has not improved but has worsened, even if the polarisation of wealth isn't discussed in a similar detail that much today.
    When you move beyond the concept of cash as wealth you are left with the assets that support the values of the many forms of cash, and the value of these assets changes almost overnight in many cases as the values of various types of cash compete with each other.
    If you look beyond the jargon in this vodeo, the value of assets, land, minerals, oil, and such like are driven by desirability, and it is the consumer, all classes of people, who rack up the changes in desirability, as they in turn are manipulated to desire one asset and what can be produced from it over another.
    With the intrinsic values of cash it is similar, and yet the desirability that affects relative national cash values is altered by a very restricted portion of the world's population as a whole, and this minscule element of the human race can fairly easily determine which form of cash is to be the winner in the battles and trade wars that seek to secure control of the desired and so valued assets.
    Cash of course is not real in itself, it is just the promise of someone, usually a nation or perhaps its national bank and/or those that support it, to allow these promisary notes to be redeemed for assets, and the real secret of wealth, cash or assets, is not to own them but to be able to control them and those who must use them in their daily lives to acquire that which they desire.
    So the answer to the conundrum seem to be to become self supporting and to live outsideof the desirable assets race, as far as is possible, and for each individual to take back control of the efforts that they make to live and support their families. But then you come back to the value of the land to do this on, and who controls the land values as the basic asset of self support, and again you meet desire as the wish to own that land.
    Possesion is not nine tenths of the law, it is 10 tenths of the law if you control desirability, and as the circle of possesions turns, those who posses become the possesed who can be controlled by the institutions that allow them to call themselves owners.
    Possesing and being possesed feels safer than sharing and asking others to share with you and yours, and ultimately it just feels more secure to live in the prison of aquired wealth, where you can seem to know your place in the prisoners hierarchy of economy and to obey the gaurds and those who control whatever is traded to meet the prisoner's desires, than it is to trust yourself and other people in a free society that can learn to recognise and respect individual human needs and their boundaries.

Most of modern technology is destroying jobs. And foreign imports are hurting US jobs including IT. In 1975 a typical mfr plant might have 2,000 workers. By 1990, the same production could be made by less than 200 workers or about 10%.

      +David de Lancey Do a reality check, dude. With more than 92 million citizens without a full-time job the REAL unemployment rate is at least 20 percent. The official govt figure is fixed for economic and political reasons. A 5% rate "justifies" bringing foreign workers into the US.

      No it really isn't dude. The REAL unemployment rate as you put it by taking 92 million over the total population is a bullshit figure.
      Any body that knows anything about economics knows that you have to take the EAP (Economically active population) into account.
      You cannot take retirees, children or housewives (or husbands) into consideration when working out the unemployment rate.
      It has been done that since the existence and measurement of the unemployment rate.
      Know if you like you can take the U6 rate which is at 9.9%. But if anything that one is a bullshit rate that is used for political and economic reasons.
      *A 5% rate "justifies" bringing foreign workers into the US.*
      Really?? and who is justifying this specifically?
      Considering it just reached 5 percent last week, I highly doubt anyone has been advocating bringing in foreign workers with that statistic.

    Get the facts instead of defend an ideology. Social security greatly reduced poverty among the elderly. The GI Bill was a huge success and was a primary factor in driving economic growth for decades. If anything is a failure, it is the conservative shift that started in the 1980s. Since then, incomes have not gone up (except for the top 1%), poverty has gone up, upward mobility has gone down, education outcomes have gone down, etc. Why? Because we stopped investing to give tax cuts to rich.

      Social Security is a wage tax, and if wages hadn't decoupled from productivity, it would be completely funded. Problem is, more of the profits moved into areas that aren't captured by a wage tax. So a system designed for workers to help retired workers then head trouble funding itself

    We need to focus on education to bring unskilled workers into the higher-tech realm where their efforts transcend hum-drum work, but challenges more citizens to join in on innovation. Noam Chomsky's Anarcho-Syndicalism that better engages workers in corporate profits may be part of the solution. For sure, the plutocratic & inherited wealth problems need addressing now at both public & private levels before they destroy our societies, and turn many into helpless pawns without social mobility.

    Freeland articulated the evolution of the plutocracy and that they have manipulated the economic structure to better service themselves, in a clinical manner but offered only a green new deal. I could not help noticing no solutions were offered - at least not details of how that green new deal was going to be administered or if at all. It appears from this thread that Freeland's exposure of some facts, shook up some of these plutocrats.

      ​@@markusaurelius777 : I don't know what you're babbling about. You should try being a little more articulate when you write so people can at least come close to figuring out what you're trying to say. It doesn't sound like Freeland is your favourite person nor is she mine but even though I have a loathing for our government in Canada because it practices autocratic rule under the misleading moniker of democracy, it doesn't mean I can't give this woman credit for her ability. So we understand one another, I recognize she is a good speaker, it's too bad she uses her one quality ability to promote a corrupt system of politics. There isn't a political party in Canada that represents democracy or the people in Canada. Every last political party in Canada, whether Federal or Provincial are corrupt and are stealing from the working class while Canadians are sitting back and doing nothing about it. They keep flip flopping back and fourth voting for one party then the opposition thinking they're going to get some worthy and meaningful change between Liberal and Conservative. In the federal arena and provincially, it's between the three parties across Canada with the exception of Quebec who hasn't fared any better than the rest of the country. We need a real democracy in Canada where our laws are determined by the voting public and where government is not permitted to make any laws. Switzerland's political system is structured this way since the year1209 . Only the voting public makes the laws in Switzerland via referendum. It's called "Direct Democracy". In Switzerland anyone can propose a new law or an existing law to be revoked or modified and the general consensus determines whether that proposal will be enacted or rejected. Imagine the power of the public having a platform to have your voice heard. We could stop this corrupt system in its tracks. We could get back to "for the people by the people" instead of "for the corporations by the corporations". This is a long topic and deserves some thought if we are ever going to get out from under the ruling classes thumb and corrupt politicians who prop up these corporations. When you hear the word "subsidies" that is corporate welfare and the working class hands out tens upon tens of $billions to corporations every year in welfare. What is most offensive is most of that money goes to American corporations and ends up in offshore bank accounts and our politicians are making themselves wealthy by having illegal money funneled offshore while we the tax payers are denied oversight. I studied this corrupt political system for eight years and determined the only means of fixing our government is to hold a referendum and adopt Direct Democracy. We need to get rid of this phony democracy we are told we have. One vote every four to five years does not make a democracy. Having no political voice in making our laws is not democracy. Having a police state is not democracy. Being taxed to death without a voice and for the benefit of the ruling class is not democracy. Having our health care destroyed by both our federal and provincial governments when Canadians have paid for this is not democracy! Trudeau shutting down government so he could avoid being investigated for corruption regarding his scheme to direct money into his bank account under the "WE Charity" and "Deferred Prosecution Agreement" legislation was a criminal act but Trudeau did it and got away with it. In a real democracy, he wouldn't get away with that but in an Autocratic, Unitary system of government he continuously gets away with it because he can impose his will on society by decree. If anyone takes a moment to ask themselves "Do we live in a democracy"? the answer must be - no we do NOT!

    1) Human rights have to apply to everyone
    2) To apply to everyone, everyone has to be protected
    3) To protect everyone requires money ( police, nurses, educators, etc)
    4) Not everyone has money to pay for that
    5) Some people has more money that they need to survive
    6) You will not kill those people if you get his money
    7) You will safe lives if you get this money
    8) Save lives is more important than property rights
    9)So it's not immoral have taxes if, and only if they are applied to that
