Real American Story---Being an American

Robert Reich, former Pres Clinton Sec'y of Labor, is posting videos expressing his liberal views.

Had to take notes on his comparison between the countries founders and Pres. Trump, calling it capitalism versus cronyism. Where he compares to dictators who concentrate wealth and creates monopoly.

Republic promotes Hope (Democrats) versus Fear (Republicsan, NRP)

Hope means triumphant, like Horatio Alger and the individual. It is good to volunteer in the community, with neighbors and friends. Goes back to Puritans and helping non-profits.

Promote FDR the Four Essentials of government. Illustraited by Norman Rothwell  showing Turkey dinner (Want), parents tucking in child (Freedom from Fear. security, no guns in illustration) mixed one standing up (Freedom of Speech, and group praying (Worship). That was what FDR used for State of Union address during WWII.

For the Fear, there is an enemy at the gate. Have an enemy and need security. Pushing Rot at the top Reagan fought Federal govt.

See more Reich on You Tube.
