Park Avenue: Money, Power & the American Dream



Just saw a rerun of one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. It's about the degreee to which money, in particular coming from billionaires (the Koch brothers are discussed in spefically: e.g. Paul Ryan gets the most Koch money of anybody in D.C.).

At the link are transcripts of all the interviews in the film. OF particular interest is the interview of Jack Abramoff and of Bruce Bartlett (formerly a senior advisor to Reagan - who now sounds like a consummately pragmatic liberal (really "liberal" is the Fascists term for someone who is a pragmatist, who just wants what works best for our society).

here's the link to the video and all the interview transcripts: http://www.pbs.org/independentlens/park-avenue/film.html

If you saw it the first time, it's still worth another viewing. ... (loaded with quite a few facts).
