Noam Chomsky: if done properly, bring home to people that human rights are being taken away by a social and economic system that has no real legitimacy ....

It should, if done properly, bring home to people that human rights are being taken away by a social and economic system that has no real legitimacy.
I mean take foreclosure, take a look at the legislative history.
As you know, when the bank bailout was legislated by congress, the TARP bailout, it actually had two components.
One was to bailout the bank, essentially the people who created the crisis.
The other half was to do something to help their victims.
Of those two components only one was implemented, the first one.
And people ought to know that.
It’s the second one that counts.
Yes the perpetrators were bailed out, how about their victims?
They’re left hanging out to dry.
And I think almost anybody can see the extreme injustice of this, in fact criminality if not illegality of it.
