Discussion with Featured Guest:
1. Dr. Harriet Fraad discusses why 70 million voted for the President-lost, when two capitalist parties are vying for the Office. Redistribution of wealth, most of which is in the hands of less that 0.1% of the USA population, the oligarchy, is ignored by the mainstream media, whether liberal or conservative. The New Deal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) only was possible with socialists and communists in the streets and hanging of judges foreclosing on Iowa farmers. FDR’s Farm Recovery Act stopped the foreclosures of farms. FDR warned his rich family and friends they would lose it all if they did not support his 96% tax on their wealth. This tax supported the Work Program Administration (WPA) in hiring 11 million workers to rebuild America’s infrastructure, erect museums, establish the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) as a public utility supplying electricity, and create the Social Security System with worker contributions, which many of us depend on for survival after reaching an age when it is difficult to work. Harriet explains how the McCarthy attacks on communists was part of the Republican strategy to gut the New Deal, including Social Security. Though promised fair wages, the Republican President, now thankfully due to our robust election system the Preseident-lost, never delivered. Don’t miss listening to this thought provoking interview with Dr. Harriet Fraad.
