The "We Can't Wait" segment covers Moody's threat to downgrade U.S. credit following the Super Committee's failure to reach a deficit deal. A New York Times front-page story about the Estée Lauder family's tax-sheltering strategies is analyzed as a dual message: inciting public anger against the wealthy while reassuring elites that tax hikes will be superficial and easily bypassed.

The documentary "Pink Ribbon Inc." exposes how breast cancer charities and corporations like Estee Lauder have "pinkwashed" the disease for profit. The film reveals that the original salmon-colored ribbon created by Charlotte Haley was hijacked by corporations to sell products, some of which contain carcinogens. Very little of the money raised actually goes to cancer research, instead funding more marketing and "bunga bunga" parties.
