2. He talks about increasing taxes on rich, increasing min. wage, increasing pensions

as ways to make our society more egalitarian/equal which is all true. He even talks about the steroid scandal in baseball as being a symptom of our corrupted elite society, which was mentioned on DU today.

Sadly, more people are interested in cat pictures than actual solutions to our most pressing problems so few will watch him or read his book. I'm going to buy the book, it sounds really informative.
