this is the richest year ever human history the rich are getting richer this evidence are less and these are creators plutocrats these are do or make and things happen when they do well and we all do well. there's a religion that says everyone will benefit as only one to do with the real world so it completely fails in the real world is the wrong word it's not a failure for the of fraction of one percent of the population that's accumulating wealth you know beyond the dreams of avarice the influence of money in politics has risen dramatically in recent decades the people at the top have more money what they've been doing has been giving bigger contributions to politicians and in return asking for lower tax rates on themselves and less stringent regulations on their companies from humble beginnings in small town arkansas to the world's

leading retailer wal-mart has come a long way since one nine hundred sixty to no one except for maybe sam who never lost sight of his original idea could have predicted the company's remarkable growth. case because it's been. a national. registry. and they are highly respected the communities in which they live and there they do respectable things for museums and give money to hospitals and to all that stuff. and yet you know in many communities people who work at will are. good ways but also getting food stamps so basically the public is paying. for fiscal year in two thousand and twelve wal-mart has gross sales of what four hundred forty six billion and then the net sales were sixteen point seven but almost seventeen billion dollars net profit i have no problem when it comes to

this culture absolutely selects for psychopaths thinkers you know people who literally have no empathy whatsoever because once you have successfully cleaved off ethical considerations you're incredibly efficient i think there's nothing wrong with aspiring to be comfortable i don't even know that there's anything wrong with aspiring to be rich but the aspiration of wall street is how you money and the money is the amount of money so vast that you can pick up the phone or save you to whoever you wanted without repercussion. one of the necessary illusions for the general public is that we live in a capitalist economy but the rich don't believe for a minute they insist on a powerful state to protect them from market the supply so if goldman sachs makes a risky transaction. they're basically protected if it crashes

12:47 am

street are working harder now than ever before not knowing whether they could ever move up the ladder and when will this rat race and for the. dr olden pass is it true because psychologists and probably more than anything else . is known for helping people manage i'm certain that and maintain optimal motivation and performance in times of uncertainty. but. it's become a mission for me to help people out there in this rough time because i feel like in my practice as a psychologist my clients are looking to me for answers my dissertation is the first study in the united states conducted in the last fifty years it was called casualties of wall street and assessment of the walking wounded and my findings

basically showed that we are currently in a crisis of connectivity. the elderly. should not bail out those who made the reckless decision to buy a home they knew they could never afford. that word came up a lot o. greedy homeowners this is serious about for people who bought t.v. their second mortgages and it's their father and they were greedy that's the mentality blame the victim. i
12:50 am
kept using my credit cards to live and then i got those where i was maxed out and i'm at the. to be moving. i've got to go very soon within the next few weeks you know. this is this is the. there's a lot of data. suggesting that social mobility is an all time low people despite their hard work on it's achieving the american dream. so who is it that achieves wealth it's often those individuals that are born into wealth in the first place. i actually feel like i'm blessed with having everything i need. to look here. could not ask for anything more and she's living.

dead fifteen years old i left big stone gap ginia and i hitchhiked across this entire continent to southern california. and i had a good job. heterosexual. life was good i was thinking about going to hollywood be the next tom cruise or somebody you know me. but it didn't happen my to. feel that mainstream school is a great place for kids who are even slightly above the curve. so would probably homeschool if they're not staying on track meeting the milestones
12:52 am
meeting the goals they need to meet it's going to impact long term what their outcome looks. no challenge is more urgent. no debate is more important we can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well while a growing number of americans barely get by. or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same set of rules. it's not the case that all of the is attributable to bad apples but rather that the barrel is bad the barrel is what's contaminating the outposts it's the institutions that prioritize getting ahead above all else that it's ok to break the law if that means that you're going to make more profits for the company with no attention to what the consequences are for the system as
12:53 am
a whole. what i object to is the feeling that some mechanism out about which you can do nothing to that's not simply not true chief if you want to change this they can change it and never. let a busy a tailor an m.p. it's a day. have a voice. fellow worker and everybody this. should rochelle long term what would you like to say to the boss held for whom you work i don't blame any one particular company the truth is unless the government actually acknowledge the importance of the home test within this country people are going to continue to be failed these problems a deep rooted within the system and the system that needs to change my name is janet sparks and i am

12:55 am
have a clear sense of why i'm doing something actively harmful and then when the financial crisis hit i started to feel really uncomfortable and i asked my boss will the public ever forgive us for this and meaning the bail out and he based i said to me well here's the thing the public always forgets the public forgot after the savings and loan crisis the public forgot after long term capital management blew up the public always forgets and the public will forget again and we will you know move on and it will go back to normal so don't worry about it.
12:57 am
not only do you have an opiate crisis in america killing thousands of people every month or so you've got people walking around no to no t.v. to try to down don't go. around i am an american and. i mean. it's quite shocking but it saves the farmers who come to one of the executives get paid themselves huge bonuses executive bonuses are what matter not people's health get that much and they go there's a slightly different approach to people's well being they think health care is maybe part of the package of human rights and of course they're right about that but their culture is richer than steve. and i think david cameron list so convinced that he would whip that with
