Talk of the Fiscal Cliff has been dominating the airwaves for the last weeks with Republicans hoping to cut social programs and Democrats attempting to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy. But beyond the partisan bickering lies the real problem facing our economy -- Wall Street greed. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio spoke with author Les Leopold recently about how unmitigated Wall Street greed has helped push Americans over the fiscal cliff.

Papantonio: Tea Party Parasites Taking Down GOP
Kudzu is strangling native plants and trees all over parts of the south. In some places it's destroying vibrant forests that have flourished for hundreds of years. It's a disgusting parasitic plant that devours damn near everything in its path. It provides virtually nothing positive or good in the communities where it is sucking the life out of entire local ecosystems. These days when I drive by a stand of trees that is slowly being strangled by Kudzu, the scene always looks like a metaphor for the way the GOP is being hopelessly, brutally strangled -- in fact murdered -- by a tiny out-cropping of Kudzu-like Teabaggers.

Papantonio: Merck Emails Show Company's Indifference Toward Injured Consumers
When you watch the ads that big pharma runs on television, they give us the impression that they genuinely care about the well-being of consumers. But behind closed doors they let their true opinions come out and these are less than flattering. The latest example comes from pharmaceutical giant Merck, who we found out recently was actually mocking victims who had been injured by their products in internal emails. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio talks about this with Martha Rosenberg, author of the new book "Born With a Junk Food Deficiency."

Papantonio: Mainstream Media Fails Again In 2012

Papantonio: Wall Street Pushing Us Over "Fiscal Cliff"
In the last century a shift has taken place in the American economy. In the past, policies and change were produced from the bottom to the top with workers taking the lead in forcing corporate America to be more honest and more fair. But in this last century all of that changed as the wealthy 1% of this country became entwined with both political parties which allowed them to cut worker protections, destroy unions, and reduce wages to the point that full time workers still can't break out of poverty. But we can change all of this if we can once again work from the bottom up. Mike Papantonio recently spoke with economist Richard Wolff about how this can happen.

Papantonio: Tea Party Purge Would Save Republican Party
Thanks to the invasive species known as the Tea Party, the modern GOP has been pushed to the farthest fringe of American politics. The question now is whether the party can purge the Tea Baggers and move back to the center or if they'll continue to shift further to the fringe right until they disappear completely. Mike Papantonio answers that question with Paul Waldman, contributing editor of the American Prospect.

Papantonio: GOP Hate Knows No Bounds
After a year of belittling women, African Americans, unions, the elderly, college students, and the poor, it would seem almost impossible for the Republicans to sink any lower. But just two weeks ago, they managed to hit a low that left a lot of card-carrying Republicans with a bad taste in their mouths, when Republican members of Congress actually voted against an international treaty that would have recognized the rights of disabled people. Mike Papantonio talks about the GOP's descent to the bottom with Nancy Cohen, author of the book "Delirium."

Papantonio: The Web of Tort Reform
For decades front groups for corporate America have been trying to sell us the idea that we need tort reform. It's a catchy phrase but what it really means is that corporations want to take away the right of American citizens to take a company to court when they make a product that maims, kills, or disfigures consumers. THAT is what tort reform really means. And this effort that was started almost 4 decades ago is still going strong today. Mike Papantonio recently spoke with Linda Lipsen, the CEO of the American Association for Justice, about the corporate front groups that are pushing tort reform across the country.

Papantonio: Social Change Requires Citizen Participation
At a glance, there was nothing extraordinary that you could notice about Harriet Beecher Stowe. She was a mother raising children in a small house on a small Connecticut farm. She wasn't a well known political figure, and although she was an abolitionist, she wasn't even regarded as a significant leader of that movement.
But what she was, was someone just like you, who had the same kind of moral compass -- the same level of disgust and anger when she noticed people not treating other people very well.

Papantonio: How The Gun Industry Sells Mass Shootings
The NRA and the gun industry appear to up against the ropes in the wake of the mass shootings and other instances of gun violence that took place in 2012. But the truth is, the industry has never been better. Every time a mass shooting occurs, sales for the gun industry skyrocket, giving them little reason to denounce such atrocious events. Mike Papantonio talks about this with William Rivers Pitt, a staff reporter and columnist for Truth-Out.org.

Papantonio: The Looming Democratic Divide
The Republican Party is searching for a new identity after getting thoroughly beat down in last year's election -- but this creates a problem for the Democratic Party. Do they move to the left to reflect the views of their base or do they stay in the center in an attempt to attract defecting Republicans? Mike Papantonio seeks to answer that question with Maggie Haberman, senior political reporter for Politico.

Papantonio: Debt Ceiling Deal Could Be Disastrous For Social Security
As soon as the fiscal cliff crisis was averted, a new crisis popped up in Washington -- the battle over raising the debt ceiling. But one important item from these budget battles has been under-reported, and that is the proposed 3% cut to Social Security. Worse yet, Democrats have given the appearance of being willing to go along with the cut for the social safety net program. Mike Papantonio talks about the planned cut with economist and author Dean Baker.
