These are the now-endangered markers of a civilized society: legally ordained minimum wages, child labor laws, workers safety and compensation laws, pure foods and safe drugs, Social Security, Medicare and rules that promote competitive markets over monopolies and cartels.

Democracy doesn't begin at the top it begins at the bottom, when flesh-and-blood human beings fight to rekindle what Arlo Guthrie calls 'The Patriot's Dream.

If the watchdog doesn't bark, how do you know there's a burglar in the basement? And the press is supposed to be a watchdog.
Bill Moyers
Image
I'm angry at what's happening to America and angry with myself that I can't do more. I would be miserable if I couldn't bear witness.

Although our interests as citizens vary, each one is an artery to the heart that pumps life through the body politic, and each is important to the health of democracy.

You can't have a people's democracy as long as corporations are considered people.
Bill Moyers
Image
Capitalism is out of control, thanks in no small part to Citizens United, the Supreme Court decision which said that a corporation is a person, even though it doesn't eat, drink, make love, sing, raise children or take care of aging parents. You can't have a people's democracy as long as corporations are considered people.

The delusional is no longer marginal.

The thing about war is that once it's triggered, it is unyielding in its appetite. And the more it consumes and gorges, the more it wants.

Image
Television can stir emotions, but it doesn't invite reflection as much as the printed page.

Image
I own and operate a ferocious ego.
Bill Moyers
Image
I take We, the People seriously because I don't know how we build a civilization without reciprocity.

I'm the front man, I'm the man on camera, but there's a whole team beyond me.
