While many Americans are working harder for less money and paying
more for everyday items like gas and food, the rich are getting
richer. BILL MOYERS JOURNAL analyzes the growing
inequality gap on the ground in Los Angeles, where recently union
workers marched to bring attention to how they are getting squeezed
out of the shrinking middle class. Bill Moyers also interviews
Steve Fraser, historian and author of Wall Street: America's
Dream Palace about the modern parallels and differences to the
first Gilded Age, the big disparity between the rich and poor, and
the increasing strain on working Americans. And Holly Sklar,
co-author of Raise the Floor: Wages and Policies That Work for
All of Us , discusses what current economic conditions say
about the state of the American dream.
