Don't Demonize the 1% - Peter Joseph

I think it is important that the 99% take some responsibility for the culture of systemic injustice that is inherent in our corrupted capitalist system.

Americans represent about 5% of the wold's population yet we consume approximately 25% of the wold's natural resources.  Whether we like to admit it or not we have all been the beneficiaries of the system as it is.  The majority have tacitly if not actively agreed to the assertion of American empire across the globe.

And now that the inevitable consequences of acquiescence have come home to roost, we want to blame the 1% who made it possible for us to all enjoy the cheap prices at WallMart.

In this video clip of an RT interview with Peter Joseph who is the creator of the film "Zeitgeist: Moving Forward" and founder of The Zeitgeist Movement, warns us of the 99% that we should avoid demonizing the 1%.  If the coming chaos devolves into a class war we will not move forward to real solutions to our current global problems.  We need a way to redefine our common values and develop a shared vision of the problems we face in the future, not just as Americans but as global citizens who must confront the realities of global warming and the declining years of the Oil Era.
