Keith Olbermann To Oakland Mayor Jean Quan: 'Resign' (VIDEO)

In the end, we have a "winners and losers" system, not determined by the transparen­cy and competitiv­eness of the free marketplac­e, but by who is best at getting favored tax breaks and incentives­, even government engineered monopolies­, like Cable and Telco., health care and education.
