Now with Bill Moyers. Question of fairness
Description
The idea that anyone can succeed in America is a vital part of the national identity. But today, the middle class shrinks as the gap between rich and poor widens. In this program, Bill Moyers investigates what lies behind the disparity. In three telling examples, Moyers draws attention to a question of fairness involving the politics of privilege: the impact of NAFTA on a Pennsylvania mill town; financial deregulation in the early 1990s that led to WorldCom's scandalous collapse; and the story of a failed attempt to reform Alabama's state income tax system.
