Dylan was on ABC’s The View yesterday as part of our Greedy Bastards launch. Check out the video below as he talks with Barbara Walters, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd.
They opened up with Dylan’s rant from last August, and Elisabeth asked Dylan what got him to that point. “I was in the middle of finishing the banking chapter of that book, and I literally was in the middle of having to document all of the backwards arrangements,” when it came to the banking system, Dylan explained. “My biggest gripe is that we have two sets of rules in this country — whether it’s getting access to American Idol, or whether it’s getting access to the American tax code, whether the laws in our government are made for your benefit or not. It has become so apparent I think, to all of us, that both political parties have been participating in creating two sets of rules. That’s the most fundamentally un-American thing, and that’s why I got so emotional,” said Dylan.
Dylan also talked about some of the bigger themes in Greedy Bastards.
“In order for America to have prosperity, it’s got to have investment. Money has got to be coming into the country. And the walls — the gates that prevent that from happening are your tax code, your trade policy, and your banking policy. And right now our banks are not lending to America, our trade policies are not putting money to America, and our tax policies are not encouraging investment,” explained Dylan.
Thanks to everyone from The View for having us – it was a blast! Here are some behind the scenes shots from the visit:
