DOLLAR DEMOCRACY ON STEROIDS: with Liberty and Justice for Some; How to Reclaim the Middle Class Dream for All

Big Corporations and their super wealthy owners have bought many politicians through campaign donations and lobbying. These politicians vote to benefit their donors more than the people. They have outsourced our jobs; dismantled our public education and colleges; neglected our healthcare; destroyed our environment; brought us global warming and climate disruption; polluted our food supplies by deregulating Big Agribusiness, allowing pesticide use and Genetically Modified (GMO) foods; brought on the Wall Street crash and Great Recession, from which the bottom 99% of Americans have not yet recovered, while the super wealthy top 1% get richer. These Corporate sponsored policies created the greatest gap between the rich and poor since the Great Depression, and a disappearing middle class. Professor Peter Mathews critiques this "Dollar Democracy on Steroids" which brings Liberty and Justice for Some, and he also provides solutions that will bring Liberty and Justice for All!

This has driven his quest for economic and social justice through the media and his work in the community.
