A brilliant articulation of truth... Marianne Williamson lifts the veil of economic injustice while giving voice to the millions and millions of Americans who are in desperate search of a path that leads to better days ahead. May it be so.

RoW too: "..our government has become a system of legalized bribery, as the undue influence of money, mainly corporate money, has corrupted our democracy." "Due to the undue influence of money on our political system, our politicians now do more to serve corporate interests.."

"Rescuing people who are drowning in the middle of the ocean is of itself not quite enough, if it's only to deliver them to a shore where they remain little more than serfs in their own land." Lots of quotables in the article, but this really nails it.
