The Shock Doctrine (2009) – Naomi Klein–Make Them Support The Middle Class

I read the book The Shock Doctrine several months ago. This movie narrated by Naomi Cline while not as in depth is enough to bring out the point for those who decide to open their eyes. Unfortunately most Americans have not lived as citizens of another country that has endured what Friedman/Chicago boys/Reagan/Thatcher Supply Side economics has inflicted throughout the world. Funny, even Nixon threw it out the window to save the country when the “self-correcting markets” were about to decimate the country.

What supply side economics has created is a semblance of prosperity on a visible few as it has decimated most of the middle class. Funny enough if everyone looks at their financial state today and compare it to where they anticipated it would be and the potential for future growth based on policies that the Right is attempting to implement they would revolt. Unfortunately by subliminally forcing Americans from looking at reality as they take their eye off the ball, the middle class continues to get pilfered in a regressive system.
