MoveOn.org has the video Robert Reich Explains the War on the Poor and Working Families.

On Robert Reich’s Facebook post, he asks if he is being too harsh with this video.

Here is the video.

I Democrats all over the country fail to make this the prime issue of the upcoming election, then perhaps they ought to lose control of the Senate, too.

An independent PAC is running commercials against Republican Charlie Baker for Massachusetts governor that hint at this issue. Martha Coakley, his Democratic opponent, ought to make it clear that Baker’s plan to solve whatever ills Massachusetts has by being harsher on welfare recipients is just part of the problem Reich is highlighting. Reich makes the point that you cannot fault people for not finding work when there are more people looking for work than there are jobs being offered. This puts the lie to Baker’s plan. This man, Baker, has no soul or no heart or neither one of them.

Am I being too harsh?
