GUEST: Alan Davis, President of The Leonard and Sophie Davis Fund, Director of the WhyNot Initiative supporting social change, and founder of Conservatree Paper Company, the leading distributor of recycled paper, talks about the Patriotic Millionaires and their plan to create economic fairness instead of worker exploitation.Patriotic Millionaires
Some millionaires don't run out to fund rightwing candidates to give them bigger tax cuts. Some don't create charter schools to defund the nation's public education. Some don't try to privatize mail delivery to wreck the US Postal Service.
Alan Davis is a multimillionaire who talks about our tax system, exposing its role in grinding the rest of us into perpetual poverty. It is not a story you will hear in most of the U.S. media, or on NPR. We like to think of our country as the land of opportunity. Yet, a look at the divide between the rich and poor, we find that the U.S. has the worst record of all the industrialized countries.
Alan makes us ashamed that we haven't done more to fight for economic justice.
