David Simon on Our Rigged Political System
ReplyDeleteFebruary 14, 2014
David Simon, journalist and creator of the TV series The Wire and Treme, returns to talk with Bill Moyers about the triumph of capital over democracy.
“If I could concentrate and focus on one thing … and start to walk the nightmare back, it would be campaign finance reform” Simon says.
Simon warns that if we don’t fix our broken election system — by getting big money out of elections and ending gerrymandering — we will have reached “the end game for democracy.”

“The stench of corruption hangs over American politics like smog over Shanghai.” -Bill Moyers
