Share the Wealth! Organizing for Economic Justice
December 6, 2000
Listen/download helpOver forty million people in the United States are living below the official poverty line. Many others are on the edge, barely able to get by. At the same time, a fraction of the population is reaping the benefits of an unprecedented economic boom. On this program, we take a look at the growing gap between rich and poor in the United States.
