Everyone has known that over-concentration of wealth at the top, and lack of balanced income distribution, is a big problem in the US. The problem is that no political leaders care enough to do anything about it.
This new Ken Burns documentary about the Roosevelts (Theodore, Franklin, and Eleanor) shows that these problems have been faced by us in the past and have been dealt with. The blueprint is already there. Their vision and courage stands in sharp contrast to the laughable spectacle today of a Bush, Clinton, or an Obama. It only remains to be seen whether the current "leaders" have the will to do something.
I am not optimistic.
But those who make peaceful change impossible, as Kennedy said, help make violent change inevitable. One way or another, things are going to have to change.
