Quoting from Glenn Greenwald:

"That's really the only relevant question: how much longer will Americans sit by passively and watch as a tiny elite become more bloated, more powerful, greedier, more corrupt and more unaccountable -- as the little economic security, privacy and freedom most citizens possess vanish further still? How long can this be sustained, where more and more money is poured into Endless War, a military that almost spends more than the rest of the world combined (http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/01/26/defense), where close to 50% of all U.S. tax revenue goes to military and intelligence spending (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MnYI3_FRbbQ/S17GGwQ1TrI/AAAAAAAACSY/X2bs4rpZpWU/s1600-h/spending.png), where the rich-poor gap grows seemingly without end (http://obrag.org/?p=1758), and the very people who virtually destroyed the world economy wallow in greater rewards than ever (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/18/business/18wall.html), all while the public infrastructure (both figuratively (http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61K2I520100221) and literally (http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2010/07/going-backwards-say-good-bye-to.html)) crumbles and the ruling class is openly collaborating on a bipartisan, public-private basis even to cut Social Security benefits?"

I'm currently reading Glenn Greenwald's book A Tragic Legacy: How a Good vs. Evil Mentality Destroyed the Bush Presidency:

George Carlin is funny as hell, but honestly, there's more truth in this clip than comedy. Shouldn't this go into the Politics/Religion subforum?
