October 16 – Despite Pressure to Do So, Obama Should Not Come Out Fighting; Romney Will Enable Wall Street, Not Regulate It; Plutocrats: They’ve Won, We’ve Lost

Full Program

Part 1

Part 2

Then we speak with Michael Greenberger, the former director of the Division of Trading and Markets at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission about the asset-stripper posing as a job creator, Mitt Romney. We  discuss the extent to which Democrats have failed to inform the public about how Wall Street is fleecing the average American at the gas pump and the kitchen table by driving up the price of commodities, a parasitic and predatory activity that is likely to get worse in a Romney administration.

Part 3

Then finally Chrystia Freeland joins us. She is the Editor of Thompson Reuters Digital and the author of the new book “Plutocrats: The Rise of the New Global Super-Rich and the Fall of Everyone Else”. We discuss the disdain that Romney expressed for the 47% that the super-rich share, and their irrational anger and hatred of Obama that has them throwing money at Romney to defeat a president who has been so good to them.
