belief that they will go what they call the will fix which will lead to more consumption and the idea is make make 1000000000 as even wealthier by making shows more expensive and they'll spend that money in stimulate the economy now there's a very good research paper by the strange little organized called the federal reserve of which shows there is no wealth effect from shares if you did very little benefit at all out of that so that's been artificially created well so those 2 are by to get rid of but the entrepreneurial 1000000000 is i have a different feeling i know the 2 of you talk about debt and debt forgiveness all the time and there's a notion of odious debt is there a notion could you say odious wealth as well if it's being created artificially for a specific class i mean the data point out here that since 1909 at the net worth of the top one percent in america went up $21.00 trillion dollars while the bottom 50 percent lost $900000000000.00 and wealth is that because the bottom 50 percent are just dom and they don't work as hard and the top one percent are just uniquely

smart and entrepreneurial and wealth creating or is it an odious wealth situation dr michael hudson if there is such a thing as odious debt or bad debt then there's such a thing as odious wealth on the other balance sheet the billionaires assets of the one percent are the debts of the 99 percent and the question is should america keep all of these debts on the books if it keeps the debt on the book the economy is going to shrink and shrink and shrink for the 99 percent and the only people who will be growing is the one percent of the creditors so the issue isn't really should you tax billionaires should you just wipe out the overhead to get back to america's golden age which was 1945 when the economy emerged from world war 2 for chile debt free nobody owed anything the result was a takeoff a golden age everybody could buy a house. there was industry going but nobody unclipping donald trump who says make

america great again says make america great again by wiping out the debt and starting all with a clean slate and that means wiping out this 4.9 trillion dollars of money that is just held in cash all this chaos is somebody else's death and all of this debt is strangling the economy and steve and i are in agreement that the problem of wiping out the debt is there is all this wealth on the other side of the balance sheet the good thing is that by canceling the debts you cancel out the these huge amount billionaires power to take over the government to replace it and ultimately to become the government and that's what you call in all of our city that you cannot have a democracy and at the same time have so many billionaires holding the rest of the economy in debt there was a time during the financial crisis of 2008 to 2009 when we had occupy wall street

and there was a scene at the occupy wall street in london where these bankers were actually crumbling up money and throwing at their poor people protesting essentially is about $4.00 trillion dollars just sitting in a bank account collecting 0 percent interest rate almost the equivalent it's mocking the economy and all the people who are impoverished and this economy if it's money money should circulate secularly money generates economic activity and if you know this money just walked in people's bank accounts not being spent that's a major part of why the economy's in a relative slump right they say money is like manure it should be spread around for a good work effect of what you had as accumulation of this stuff rather than spreading it around and that's the great problem of a capitalist economy it works best when there's massive amounts of circulation when people get wealthy they lock it away and they who are good and they hoard they spend this most rapidly you have a lower level of economic performance so that will is karl. weighted with low

economic performance not high economic before us today so this is all very interesting in terms of the flow of money etc you know going back to 2008 we had the emergence of the holder doctrine for america holder for attorney general who said that banks for strategic to the economy therefore he couldn't prosecute them establish that they knew president that banks the biggest bankers were above the law to be a simple moral hazard you know the central bank would say well if you keep bailing people out continue to act morally here they've institutionalized what looking back now on the prosecution and investigation of j.p. morgan is obviously racketeering you know they've made racketeering in the banking sector legal obviously that's going to create a concentration of wealth if i could steal money with no repercussions whatsoever i'm going to become a wealthy man now that's what's happened i mean the diet of not in any in on is really indicative here because i'm talking about trends in a fuel capitalist economy with no stuff up spa central bank has but i 87 began the

stuff about central bankers with the greenspan port and ever since then they've gone in there to rescue the banks whenever they stop before laiva to rescue the financial institutions when they stuff up the classic of course being long term capital management so all this stuff is meant as well as the capitalist system driving inequality which slows the economy down the so-called managers the central bankers in particular greenspan and his followers have extension why did the inequality and accentuated stagnation that comes out of that inequality so this wealth is giving a stagnation not possible prosperity the problem is what is a capitalist economy most people think that a capitalist economy is a billionaire is using their money to invest in factories and to employ people but that's an industrial capitalist economy and what we have a something different we have a finance capitalist economy and the idea of a finance capital isn't to make money by employing workers to make more goods to sell at a profit it's to make money from money it's to make money by buying. real estate

stocks and bonds not factories and stocks and bonds you can make money on fastest by closing down the factories by outsourcing you make money if you're a finance capitalist by closing your american factory and moving to china by taking all of your income and instead of reinvesting it in effect very you use it for stock buybacks to bid up the price of your stock or to pay out as dividends to push up the price so difficult for the democrats to make the observation that when the monopolist and the monarchs the neo financial monarchs are strangling and economy a company or a country let's say in the case of grace they strangled grace they choked it out as a result they rewarded the finance heirs with a ballad what more hundreds of billions so every time they strangle a company or a country to death they get more capital they don't circulate the capital and so why can't the democrats why can't the opposition make that observation why can't those who are leading the democratic party say look these guys are choking out

these economies these companies this economy here's how they do it it's a crime wave how come they don't take them to court why do they pretend it's something it's something other than that because the democratic party is wall street the democratic party is basically of the neo liberal wall street party that believes that if you give more money to the billionaires they'll spend it into the economy instead of doing what steve describes and is doing spending it back into the financial markets to keep inflating asset prices well today isn't made by saving money it's not made by investing in factories it's made by buying stocks and bonds that the federal reserve inflates in price by this huge 4.6 trillion of quantitative easing that is all spent into the stocks and bonds not into the real economy that's why we're filming here in brooklyn across the bridge you see the financial center 14 trillion dollars gone into rescuing them saving that. the

millennial generation z. the next generation that's going to have to pay all these debts that accumulated by these bank stars that they live out here and this is the heart of where all these policies of like a wealth tax of medicare for all these you guys all these sort of ideas are coming from out here front running is a double entendre for this show because it's the political front runners as well as what you just described which is financial front running the insiders know what the government's going to do ahead of time what they're bailouts on their money printing and they front run they get ahead of that trade and they print profits risk list late and then their wealth skyrocket and raid dahlia hedge fund managers say oh the wealth and income gap is so big how am i going to save my family and friends from the torches and say well why don't you turn in jamie diamond want to turn in your fellow kleptocrats put him in jail and i'll do something positive for society let me clarify something that's they see said you talked about the current generation having to pay off the debts of the predecessors they're not going to pay

him off these debts cannot be paid off they can go bankrupt they can starve they can die sooner but they cannot pay off the debts mathematically there is no way of these exponential growth and debts being paid off in the end every economy reaches a point where the debts cannot be paid and it is a choice either it can wipe out the debts and girl again or it can leave the debt someplace and let it strangle the economy that's what the democratic party and the republican party stand for today and not know that these debts will never ever ever never be paid back don't go away much more coming up in front running stay right there. where they're seeing. and.

my limited role more than i was for it is to die in prison by the explosion love my life. case to grab some media attention and it's a shooting in a 16 year old's 16 birthday party found citing the place to tell a lot of pressure channel closed the case. for he is. just wrong it's like i couldn't believe those hire. me out so far they are all for them to sure don't want peace be with us to all of this unit because i was standing right next to. me for is because you got to keep in mind what to do in those 1617 homes so. these clues mondays are not easy as plunder it is clear that a true nightmare full food really. formal is close to.

the other girls flown out to truth. my name is sucking on social media let's just see what i don't see it's a. bit over you know if. you let me know where you got to get. to cause these proofs enough movement you know nice east pizza box and i used to down 6 make it very very easy and oh food from the school on fridays to people place. who. knows. who's in the clubs who pulls through clubs because the clubs do really hear child he said if the life of a music. i. makes me copy i

love he dies because he makes me happy plane flew to. and when you go to. the coffee spot off my ass. i know. there are good tennis and bad news the bad news in the. united states. the good. lord in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world . where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right wing military funding an army just was there's no posts anymore because there's always

a small people willing to cut this. profit. welcome back to front running just learn from dr michael it's and that apparently the debts can never ever ever ever be paid simply because mathematically it's impossible stacie yes the debts have been rising exponentially and i think it's in an interesting way that context of front running is that we have the boomer generation dying off and the millennial generation is now a larger generation than the famous and the infamous boomer generation it feels like they're asserting themselves through these economic policies it's like hey what 8 we're not suckers like generation x. you know we're not going to pay your debt we're not going to like ryan along in

your stream of like bad debts so is. something that should be considered or are you just saying wipe out those debts completely the only way to do is to wipe out the debts rich people don't pay taxes only the poor people pay taxes rich people will declare all of this cash is really in liberia or panama or the cayman islands and it's not really in america at all so it can't be taxed the only thing to do is to wipe out the debts and by wiping out the debts you wipe out this excess wealth and does america really want to like archy that's the issue do you want group of billionaires to run your political parties to control all of your medical care by saying it should be. companies that we own not the public do you want to have a group of billionaires saying we are the government not a democracy or do you want to bunker say i hope to put things in a broader perspective and in proportion and that's the real proportion is

a huge top of the economy who's debt is burdening it and crushing it and if you look at greece is greece america's future is latin america america's future are we going to end up as broke as the these countries on this idea. that the rich paying taxes are not paying taxes of course the pushback on this is that the top billionaires will say well most of the taxes that are collected in the country we pay but we have to keep in mind that's on reported income most of the income is not reported for example if they pay taxes on all all income not just unreported income you need to have a not $3.00 have chilean dollars in taxes collected last year and probably because of the 8 or 9 trillion collected in taxes last year amazing it may seem rich people don't earn income millionaires known an income if you are an income you pay tax on it billionaires make capital gains and they don't have to pay taxes on these

especially if they're they're offshore if you look at the national income statistics for real estate you find the entire real estate industry all the real estate america has paid just about 0 income since $1045.00 is that donald trump says i love depreciation they have so many loopholes that they have no reportable income so taxes are not going to do it you have to go right to the root of things it's assets and debts at the balance sheet balance sheets is what they should talk about and that's where we can be clear because taxation is the dumb way of trying to get the will fact from the from the wealthy who fix procreated rather than earned it as models been saying but we have the we're talking about private debt by the way it's been very careful here it's the private debt that's caused this inequality it's the private debt that stagnates the economy the government debt as modern monetary siri argues is something which is like it's the government's capacity to create money is mirrored in the amount of debt that it created so the government debt is something which is controllable it's not the problem of course

all the attention the democratic party in the publicans is on the government debt but we can use the government's money creation capacity to give everybody an equal amount of wealth and what that would mean is you actually reduce the debt. so you can do it in a row rather than try to take it off in terms of checks which they can always of you could use the government's money creation capability to give everybody cash which could be used to pay the debt stem and consequently you'd reduce that concentration i don't want to pay the debts i don't want to make a $1000000000.00 there isn't a trillion there's i want to wipe out the debts and wipe out all of this massive capital stifling because of the assets that are as bad as the u.s. so that's why so you can do it using a. true boy which is using the state's capacity to create the money you get on per capita basis the debt that reduces the power of the oligarchy just for the tax raise just so you understand last year 2018 was the 1st year in u.s. history where billionaires paid

a lower tax rate than the average worker so the average worker in america paid 28 percent state federal and local taxes and the billionaires paid 23 percent did up counting the wage withholding of 16 percent exactly only people who earn up to about $100000.00 have to pay it. the way you are and more than that you don't have to pay any wage withholding for social security so only the lower income people have to pay for social security and medical insurance so it's even worse even worse and speaking of worse max had mentioned. you know is of course part of this financial world he's the biggest hedge fund manager in the world bridgewater capital over in connecticut not too far from here he has been writing a series of blog posts over the past few weeks few months and i would say that he seems very very concerned that the pitchforks. are going to come out for the billionaires and he himself seems to suggest it's

a lot to do with the federal reserve giving people like me free money i get to borrow at less than 0 percent nobody else can that money being given over and over and over and we see a round of all this quantitative easing. again it doesn't go into the economy it just goes into the finest as ramana going to still want to model streisand's here and so the helicopter spends helicopter drops the money of a world straight not mine straight and uses the old parasol it sang a low chute and if you don't if you don't feed me i'm going to dog the host that's in trouble not the parasite in rebellion is like something out of a willie wonka star and he's trapped in a chocolate factory eating himself to death. and i think you. are claiming about it and saying oh my god stop forcing this chocolate down my throat i can't stand it any more but they don't attack the origins of the problem is that they are soaking up trillions in free cash and in some cases they get paid to borrow money i mean imagine this somebody down the street here is going to be charged 2 to 3000 percent

a year annual lies rate for a payday loan. ballio he goes he shows up to get a loan and they pay him to borrow the money and he wonders why god how did i get so rich and what will bill i've been burned to death well if there is justice yeah that's because he makes loans to the payday loan maker exactly so there's a 360 degree of fraud being committed perpetuated by again the root source being the need to keep the central banks happy by allowing them to print in a what i call interest rate apartheid they simply give money to their friends and everyone else gets choked out to paraphrase president nixon when the billionaires do it it's not fraud. actually you know max brings up a good point there is he's talking about interest rate apartheid and the central bank policy the central bankers are not aleck did they're not they don't serve the

people we elect a government to serve us to represent us fiscal policy it's not even a thing in america anymore we don't have fiscal policy we only have monetary policy monetary policy can only they can only. money to wall street so how do you tell these young voters looking for radical policies and the most they can come up with right now is a wealth tax how do you what do they do steve what actually gives life it's quantitative easing for wall street let's have quantitative easing for the people with the nobody paid a tax for quantitative easing every year the said we're going to reserve was buying out 160000000000 dollars worth of bonds off the financial sector where did the money come from double entry bookkeeping they simply said we're going to put a trillion dollars in your bank accounts you give us a trillion dollars' worth of this pipe newborns and what that meant was they then had the financial sector had a trillion dollars worth of cash what could they do with it they bosch is what happened to the ship process they go up people who are on the show has get wealthy

just because of that. accounting trick by the federal reserve they can do exactly the same thing to inject money into people's bank accounts not into wall straight anybody who gets the money's got debt the debt is paid down we could return back to the golden age of capitalism when private debt was about 40 percent of g.d.p. this is the period mochel stalking about from $45.00 to about $65.00 low levels of debt it didn't matter that you had created by his demand it didn't accumulate too much plenty of stimulus plenty of real economy activity that's what we need to get back to in your world here of wiping out the debt or having quantitative easing for the people or stuff like that what happens to a steve jobs or jeff bezos or the entrepreneurs or. not you might get some more cash i mean this is the when if you attack financial capital people defended by talking about the wonderful industrial capitalists and now on the move i am

a fanboy of ale in moscow i have to admit that i think is that it's an incredible engineering an incredibly gifted idea is that the sort of stuff that the saudi unaids he had to struggle he many ticket had cashed out of pay pal but he was struggling to get financial review. on many many occasions and it's because financial capital has taken over and as another one of the characters i like an old dog called calm ox once said that he called the financial sector the rising cavaliers of credit and said every now and then the systems let this bunch take over the real economy and they know nothing about the real economy and should have nothing to do with it when finance dominates capitalism sophos we need to get back to that i was in capitalism you know entrepreneurial stuff is dominant and that means weakening financial capital that's a clever sort of magicians trick is it like they confuse the populations mind of saying oh jamie diamond then and ray dally oh these guys are capitalists these guys

but it's industrial capitalists that are actually always served up they never mention jamie diamond they'll mention it on musk if you if you tax the wealthy you're going to lose that you it's the piece of the she has shown pay trick i mean we want to get the people who do the entrepreneurial stuff and take the genuine risks and then as i do the ones we want it's not been getting the money in the system now it's the we're inside it's the delhi as well dell is not so bad but it's the jamie dominance and so on the whole financial sector they're getting the money we stole to far we stagnate they don't come up with new ideas they don't come up with with new concepts we all benefit from they actually stop it getting to the industrial capital of so we want to go back to the world with the industrial capitalism get the money and the financial sector of the lubricant of the system then not the dominant draw those lives that are the least productive capitalist in society would be warren buffett because the apps it does absolutely nothing he just collects money from the fed and he buys strategic positions and insurance and bank so he was somebody who knew that mines from a common theory was nonsense efficient market hypothesis and said if enough people

if that's what you believe on that kind of billionaire and he was wrought ok so he's shown that the failing ever invented anything he's never produced anything now he simply hoards cash like a old lady in the attic. that horrid old telephone books you know that we can't go on forever and if you know it can't go on forever what do you do you play for the short run and that's the real problem of finance capital finance capital the long run is the short run for the finance capital it's every 3 months where industrial capital you actually have to invest something for the longer term that's where the risk is finance capital doesn't take risk it only wants to hurt things when you bought the politicians the final point is the wealth tax going to happen it wouldn't make any difference to the dead yes of the it will probably be passed in may may bring in $10.00 maybe $15.00 a year same attitude to the rich going to taxes we have to be cleverer than that make me clever by using the mechanism that quantitative easing that the fed used to

actually in flight asset processes to distribute wealth instead and reduce the disparity we come to it by taxation. what i learned is don't look so much at the income statement look at the balance sheet that's very much that's the street thanks so much fellows and that's going to do it for this edition of front running 2020 with the max geysers they serve until. my name is stuck on. this jack see what i don't see it's a. little bit over there. if you. will but enough. to cause you to move. your. speech

and i use down 6 to make it very very easy no food for me to school on drug use to people. who people who close to clubs do really he's trying to fit a music that. i love to jazz because he makes me copy i love he does because he makes me copy plain food. and when you go to. the back of my. love. i doubt. this is a stick from a water bottle found in the stomach of

a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company. which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has promised to reuse the plastic. that's. a special kind of fun to me. on the. phone now the mountains of moist only grow. is like the child in the room it's impulsivity it's narcissism it's us versus them

it's fear the prefrontal cortex is empathy it's compassion it's thinking about the future in terms of what we do today that's where we need to make our decisions based from from the prefrontal cortex unfortunately when we eat the modern diet of our planet or when we watch the news or we spend too much time online we lock in to be a make believe we lock in to the child in the room and we're not able to make good decisions c.
