If President Obama had provided Americans with a truthful perspective on workers it would have meant a completely different approach to the economy. The president could have put forward a vision of a full employment economy and ending poverty.

The result is an economy that is a disaster for most Americans, despite the president's attempt to create a false image of success.

This kind of outright manipulation of corporate and political elites who have everything to gain from a disunited, fearful citizenry must be seen for what it is: a direct insult to our human potential and dignity that we will no longer tolerate.
