Greedy Bastards Hits Bookshelves

Dylan Ratigan explains what’s wrong with America

United Republic ally Dylan Ratigan is out with a brand new book that goes on sale today. Greedy Bastards tells us “how we can stop corporate Communists, banksters, and other vampires from sucking America dry.” It connects the dots between the serious problems America faces and the core cause of those problems — the corrupting influence of money in politics.

Ratigan was on the Today Show this morning to explain:

“No one has explained to the American people why it is that our banking, trade and tax code prevent money from being invested into the innovations in everything this country needs in energy, health, innovation and infrastructure.  Instead, our trade, tax and bank policies – all three of those things, which control the flow of money to America or from America — those policies are basically removing that money, and the jobs as a result.”
