Bill Moyers on The Economic Elite Vs. The People of the United States [Video & Audio]


David DeGraw's six-part series on the The Economic Elite Vs. The People of the USA can be found here, here, here, here, here, and here.

When you are one of the 180 million Americans now living paycheck-to-paycheck, and you are working 12 – 14 hours a day, six days a week, you have to constantly ask yourself, "Is what I'm doing the most effective way to use my time?"

When it comes to my work here on AmpedStatus, I'm putting more money into it than I'm getting out of it. So, even with the impact and success I've been having with recent reports, my mind still questions if I would be better off working on other, more financially rewarding projects. As each month passes, and the bills keep coming, your will and resolve are tested with increased intensity.

When people take time out of their busy schedules to write emails and donate some of their hard-earned money, and when the bad news just keeps piling up with no substantial government actions to combat it, you realize that you must find it within yourself to keep fighting. In the long run, unfortunately, there is really no other option for us. We have been attacked, a war has been launched on us, even though most people are yet to realize this.

My frustration and cynicism is quickly overwhelmed by my survival instinct. As part of this, I must always try to figure out how to be most effective and question my methods. So when someone like Bill Moyers comes along, and quotes your work, you, for a moment, feel a sense of success. Maybe all the hard work is having an affect and paying off, maybe I am getting through to people.
