'Going Bulworth'
'The real crises are mass unemployment and falling wages. Mindless cuts in government spending are costing jobs, slowing any recovery. We have an economy that rewards only the few. Corporations are pocketing record amounts of the economy in profits, while wages hit new lows. The richest 1 percent captured more than 100 percent of the income growth of the society in the two years coming out of the recession. Yet Republicans continue to demand more cuts in programs for the vulnerable and reject even closing tax havens for the wealthy. Or as Bulworth put it:
'The rich is gettin’ richer an richer an richer
'While the middle class is gettin’ more poor
"Those gentlemen there on the monitor
"They want government smaller. Weak.
"They be speakin’ for the richest 20 percent
"While pretendin’ they defendin’ the meek".'
