About the Show

Video: Income Inequality

Video icon Video: Income Inequality
In America, the top one-tenth of one percent of earners make about the same money per year collectively as the millions of Americans in the bottom fifty percent combined. This is putting a tight squeeze on the middle class, while leaving millions of others in the cold.

This week, David Brancaccio talks with Pulitzer prize-winning financial reporter David Cay Johnston, as well as author and advocate Beth Shulman about the state of our country's vast income divide and how it's hurting those just trying to make ends meet.

3. I feel like a wimp these days. I don't know how much crap
I can stomach any more and this just sounds like some little guy is going to become aware that he is being treated like crap more than he ever realized. I would appreciate those braver than me binging a synopsis of this show back here. Maybe it will be a turn of events, and someone will have escaped the clutches of slavery.
