Rachel Maddow Takes Pay Cut With MSNBC's Future in Jeopardy

[Escape]

92. THIS A CONVERSATION WE NEED TO BE HAVING........

Love Rachel. She is great at what she does.

She makes an obscene amount of money. I didn't know that.

Love all the discussions that have followed. Our Capitalistic system is a monstrous unfair disaster that is growing instead of shrinking. .

It's OK to talk about that. It's necessary to talk about that. We HAVE to talk about that.

I know too many good people who have dropped out of politics with "they are all the same" excuses.

So, one of our stars; a leading warrior for the poor, the abused, the ignored; is actually a multi-fucking-millionaire.

SHE should do one of her great, intense, extensive, "in depth" programs on just how in the hell that happens in a society where homeless people roam the streets, people can't afford health insurance and others work three jobs to try to make ends meet. A country where many old people live month to month on pathetic social security income and many more go without necessary healthcare because they can't afford the co-pays or the cost of prescriptions.

And some of their co-citizens make $35 million a year.

It's OK to think that that ain't quite right.
