Robert Reich: Occupy Democracy



Reich has consistently supported the Occupy movement. It's safe to say he was one of the original "occupiers," at least in spirit. He's been calling for higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans, and the decrease in private money in our elections for a long time now. It's good to see him not only talking economics, but addressing the violations of freedom of speech and egregious police brutality on display in this country. I guess I'm not surprised that Fox News is defending the use of pepper spray on seated, unarmed, unthreatening college students, and that MSNBC is denouncing it. It'd be nice if our President had something to say about it though...
