Despite the great "economic boom" of the 1990s, the average American worker is now working longer hours for lower wages than 30 years ago, and we have lost millions of decent-paying manufacturing jobs. Where are the TV programs addressing our $360 billion trade deficit, or what our disastrous trade policy has done to depress wages in this country? And while we’re on economics, workers who are in unions earn 30 percent more than non-union people doing the same work. There are a lot of programs on television about how to get rich by investing in the stock market. But have you seen any "specials" on how to go about forming a union?

The United States has the most unfair distribution of wealth and income in the industrialized world, and the highest rate of childhood poverty. There’s a lot of television promoting greed and self-interest, but how many programs speak to the "justice" of the richest 1 percent owning more wealth than the bottom 95 percent? Or of the CEOs of major corporations earning 500 times what their employees make?

NO GOOGLING PLEASE ... and if you know the answer, please don't post it here ... this is for guessers only ... thanks ...

1. Bernard Sanders, Congressman (I-VT)

Just guessing; I swear I didn t Google or anything, in case I get it right. Just sounds like the no-nonsense, direct, progressive kind of thing he would say.
