Inequality for All (video)
A passionate argument on behalf of the middle class, INEQUALITY FOR ALL features Robert Reich—professor, bestselling author, and Clinton cabinet member—as he demonstrates how the widening income gap has a devastating impact on the American economy. The film is an intimate portrait of a man who’s overcome a great deal of personal adversity and whose lifelong goal remains protecting those who are unable to protect themselves. Through his singular perspective, Reich explains how the massive consolidation of wealth by a precious few threatens the viability of the American workforce and the foundation of democracy itself. In this INCONVENIENT TRUTH for the economy, Reich uses humor and a wide array of facts to explain how the issue of economic inequality affects each and every one of us.

The Big Picture: Fight for $15 with Robert Reich (video)
Part of “The Big Picture: 10 Ideas To Save The Economy” by former Labor Secretary Robert Reich and MoveOn.org. Right now, there are adult breadwinners who work full-time, or more than fulltime, and still live in poverty. If the minimum wage in 1968 had simply kept up with inflation, it would be more than $10 today. If it also kept up with the added productivity of American workers since then, it would be more than $21 an hour. A decent society ensures that all workers get a decent wage. It’s the least we can do. And a $15 wage is the place to start.
