Video: Ratigan on what?s wrong with America

>> for more on the presidential race now to dylan ratigan , host of a show on msnbc and author of

"greedy bastards: corporate communists, banksters and vampires who suck america dry." good morning.

>> good morning.

>> given the anti- wall street occupy climate we're in.

>> mitt romney 's liabilities as an american businessman are among the highest of any businessman in this country. there are two types of businesses in america now. there are businesses that are people investing and collaborating to solve america 's problems, working on energy efficiency , health efficiency, infrastructure, problem-solving. there is a second class of business person that was invented in the past 30 years of this country who exploits their ability to borrow money at the risk to this nation, the very same risk we bailed out in 2008 and borrows the money to do much as newt gingrich is describing to purchase a company and take the money for themselves. that's a reasonable undertaking maybe. borrowing other people's money to do so and then taking other people's jobs away to do so is not capitalism. it is exploitation.

>> this could hurt mitt romney . that said as we look at the debates, what do you think americans ' are not hearing from the candidates that they should be hearing despite all of these debates?

>> we have yet to have a single presidential candidate with the exception a little bit from ron paul , a little bit from john huntsman, but really it's happened, explain to the american people why our banking, trade and tax code all prevent money from being investeded into the innovations this country needs in energy, health, education and infrastructure. instead trade, tax and bank policies, all three of those things which control the flow of money to america or from america and those policies are basically removing the money and the jobs as a result.

>> you're saying there are major breaks in the system.

>> yes.

>> john huntsman talked about the need for financial reform, essentially in dealing with lobbyists and all that. you actually basically had a huge outburst august on msnbc. let's look.

>> i have been coming on tv for three years doing this and the fact of the matter is that there is a refusal on both the democratic and the republican side of the aisle to acknowledge the mathematical problem which is that the united states of america is being extracted. it's being extracted through banking, through trade and it's being extracted through taxation. there is not a single politician that has stepped forward, susan, to deal with this.

>> darn, how do you really feel?

>> i'm not a morning person. that was in the afternoon a, think.

>> i think it was. in the book you're essentially calling on americans to act. what is it you think americans can do to take back this country.

>> we are already seeing americans do it. whether your issue is the environment, prison system and incarceration of young minorities, whether it's gun rights , asthma, the food supply , corn in the food that's creating diabetes. whatever it is you want to talk about, you are being prevented from having the natural redress of this democracy and the government resolving that for you because of the dependency our politicians have on money. listen to the interview we listened to with newt gingrich and what he spoke about was all of the money being spent. matt was talking to newt about it, back and forth, one versus is other. the fact is as long as the money is coming in, the money comes in to prevent policy changes that could adapt us to a new world. people think money buys making something happen. what the money is buying is making something not happen at a time when we need a lot to happen.

>> thank you so much.

>> thank you, ann.
