Bill Moyers “today is more interesting than yesterday”

In a multimedia marketplace saturated with shallow sound bites and partisan name-calling, Winner-Take-All Politics.

The role of democracy in society.

Economic inequality and the interplay it has with the state of US democracy.

The "have-nots" now have less than they ever did. The "have-it-alls" now have more than they ever did. Since 1979, 40 percent of the growth of income has gone to one percent of the population.

Bill Moyers says he's not against capitalism but that stagnate wages exist alongside huge wealth gains at the top income levels, and that "greed" has outpaced "democracy".

On the Occupy Wall Street movement, Moyers says, he know why citizens have taken to building encampments and demanding accountability from both politicians and big financial institutions, saying: "They're occupying Wall Street, because Wall Street has occupied the country."

On the role of the presidency and presidential candidates. Nobody forced Obama to make the economic advisors he appointed to important posts, says Moyers. He made those choices himself and those choices have consequences that we are all forced to live with.
