Bill Moyers: "Our Politicians Are Money Launderers in the Trafficking of Power and Policy" Bill Moyers, Truthout: "We hold elections, knowing they are unlikely to produce the policies favored by the majority of Americans. We speak, we write, we advocate - and those in power turn deaf ears and blind eyes to our deepest aspirations. We petition, plead, and even pray - yet the earth that is our commons, which should be passed on in good condition to coming generations, continues to be despoiled. We invoke the strain in our national DNA that attests to 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness' as the produce of political equality - yet private wealth multiplies as public goods are beggared."
