				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Man: [Driving. Scowls.] Take media, for example. It&#8217;s manipulative. It frames public discourse to give the advantage to the concentrated capital that owns it.</p>
<p>Captive audience: Deedeedee. Dee. Dee. Dee! Deedeedee.</p>
<p>Man: Like this morning. On the news. They said, &#8220;The president has to cut spending by $65 billion immediately,&#8221; or whatever. That is not a fact. They are not reporting a fact, they are selling public opinion a response to a fact that capital prefers. The fact is: you have revenue on this side, and you have projected spending on this other side, and there is a $65 billion difference between the two. That is the fact. The question is: how do we make up the shortfall? Cutting spending is one option. Buying lotto tickets and paying it off with a Powerball win is another. Oh, and there&#8217;s one more: you could raise taxes. Unfortunately, the poor and the middle class are already squeezed pretty tight, which leaves the upper class, and capital in the form of corporations etc.</p>
<p>Captive audience: Deedeedee! Dee! DEEDEEDEE!</p>
<p>Man: What you listening to there?</p>
<p>Captive audience: Skrillex.</p>
