"What you're seeing right now is politicians taking your money and redistributing it upward. ... The senators' idea here, by the way, is striking,...because while they both talk about market capitalism, what they are describing is corporate socialism. ... [Their characterizations of the ecomony are] meaningless marginalism and economic fantasy.... Neither one of these presidential candidates is addressing the need for fundamental reform to build a sound economy that will take us into the future." Democracy Now interviews Pulitzer-winning journalist David Cay Johnston, author of "Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill)". 8 Oct 2008. http://www.democracynow.org

Heres a virtual movie of Americas "Peoples" poet Carl Sandburg reading his short anti war poem "Grass" Sandburg's gentle voice was tinged with an almost musical melancholic Swedish tone handed down to him by his Swedish born immigrant Mother and father. Sandburg demonstrates in this great reading how just simple non prosaic words delivered with his unique relaxed elequence and dexterity can tug at the emotions of the listener. Carl Sandburg (1878 1967) was the "poet of the people." He found beauty in the ordinary language of the people -- the "American lingo," as he called it -- and turned it into poetry. In the 1920s and '30s Sandburg wrote a six-volume biography of Abraham Lincoln, praising Lincoln for exemplifying the American spirit. Four of the six volumes won him the Pulitzer Prize. Late in his life, at age 70, Sandburg wrote his first novel, "Remembrance Rock" (1948), a panoramic epic of America. When Sandburg died in 1967, President Lyndon Johnson stated, "There is no end to the legacy he leaves us." Carl Sandburg reads his ode to the American people "The People, Yes" in this 1950s sound recording from his collection of poetry.Kind RegardsJim ClarkAll rights are reserved on this video recording copyright Jim Clark 2008Grass....Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo, Shovel them under and let me work-- I am the grass; I cover all. And pile them high at Gettysburg And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. Shovel them under and let me work. Two years, ten years, and passengers ask the conductor: What place is this? Where are we now? I am the grass. Let me work.
