Solving the Crisis of the 21st Century. Part II, Chapter 1 of Let's Do What Works and Call it Capitalism
By Dan Riker
Part II. Solving the Crisis of the 21st Century

"Never has uncontrolled capitalism been more dangerous to more people than it is now in the era of the giant multinational corporations that no longer identify with the nation."

"American history, as analyzed in Part I, shows what has brought change in the past, and it can do it again. America needs a new progressive movement. "

CHAPTER 1. IT'S TIME FOR OUTRAGE AND ACTION

"The Republican vision of how to build a future is clear. Protect tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires and leave everyone else to pick up the tab. Their vision boils down to one sentence: 'I got mine, the rest of you are on your own.'" .

- Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), May 28, 2014 speech, Portland, OR

"...the great special business interests too often control and corrupt the men and methods of government for their own profit. We must drive the special interests out of politics....every special interest is entitled to justice, but not one is entitled to a vote in Congress, to a voice on the bench, or to representation in any public office. The Constitution guarantees protection to property, and we must make that promise good. But it does not give the right of suffrage to any corporation."

- Theodore Roosevelt, "The New Nationalism" August 31, 1910.

1. I was there for that speech of Ms. Warren's....

She was great to listen to and to later meet there, and to listen to later that evening at Powell's bookstore signing too!

It was great that both of Oregon's senators were also there in attendance as well... America NEEDS her leadership!



Button for Merkley in 2014 that hopefully is reusable in 2016 too!
