Whose Job Is Democracy? Featuring Jefferson Smith HD

Whose job is democracy? So many of the challenges we face are nobody’s job. In a market sense, what big company benefits from fundamentally improving our health system? Who’s job is it to save the climate? I know that if I drive my truck all over the place, it has very little impact on the air I breathe and the water I drink...but it we all do it, we’re all hosed. Whose job is it to protect the sanctity of elections? Where is the market profit in that? Whose job is it to redeem ourselves from the oppression of black slavery and the genocide of Native Americans? And you are priceless. Definition of priceless? Worth a lot, not for sale.

Whose job is it to make voting, and government agencies, and campaign finance -- and democracy itself work better? No obvious financial profit in that. So many of the most daunting challenges and exciting opportunities we face are, in a market sense, nobody’s job. That’s why you are so important. You are the coalition of the benevolently irrational. The good people doing good things for no good reason. And you are priceless. Definition of priceless? Worth a lot, not for sale. Thanks to all of you. And thank you, Democracy. ⭐ Join our Membership and Support the Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/thomhartmann/join MORE FROM THOM Watch a full program re-run anytime: http://www.patreon.com/thomhartmann Audio Podcast: http://www.thomhartmann.com/podcast Free Newsletter: http://www.thomhartmann.com/podcast Merchandise: https://teespring.com/stores/thom-hartmann-program-2 Thom Merchandise: https://teespring.com/thom-hartmann-mug?pid=522&cid=101870 FOLLOW THOM AMAZON: http://amzn.to/2hS4UwY BLOG: http://www.thomhartmann.com/thom/blog FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/ThomHartmannProgram/ INSTAGRAM: http://www.instagram.com/Thom_Hartmann PATREON: http://www.patreon.com/thomhartmann TWITTER: http://www.twitter.com/thom_hartmann WEBSITE: http://www.thomhartmann.com YOUTUBE: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=thomhartmann ABOUT THE PROGRAM The Thom Hartmann Program is the leading progressive political talk radio show for political news and comments about Government politics, be it Liberal or Conservative, plus special guests and callers. #MoreFromThom ✔ Amazon links are affiliate links
