Many of the Black students and young adults today KNOW Wall Street, their interpretation and application of its principles.  There are leaders, management teams, financial sources, and the entry-level followers.  The products are different, but the skills are obvious and applicable.  ONLY the focus needs to change, and the talents refined to be applied toward socially acceptable and legal procedures, but the natural talent is there.  Simple.  Don't think otherwise.

Dr. Cornel West & Tavis Smiley: How are you? Re: Centrism. Subject: American Economics. It appears as though the rich are getting richer and the poor is getting poorer! will America collapse? it sure seems like thats where this country is headed. The Republican (GOP) are trying to force President Barack Obama into making major economic cuts for the poor such as Social Security, Health Care, the list goes on and on. The problem is the Democratic Policy makers in Washington claim to represent the Middle Class and Poor but those same Politicians are disconnected because they are already wealthy individuals themselves, they are not affected by their bad policy's. For exmaple America spends 51% of its budget on the "Military Complex" this selfish spending is used to destroy other nations instead of keeping the money in America; Using Billions for a failed Public School system, Roads that are falling apart, what is wrong with these politicians! this country is dying man!, thank you for your show-Peace.
