We speak to Chuck Collins, Director of the Program on Inequality and the Common Good at the Institute for Policy Studies.
He discusses the contents of the Pandora Papers which reveal the state of South Dakota to be a $367 billion tax haven, extreme income inequality in the United States and America’s historical tolerance of inequality, the capture of the US’ political system by corporate interests, the trend that most Americans side more with Bernie Sanders on addressing inequality than with corporate Democrats, the massive increase in billionaire wealth over the Coronavirus pandemic, the propensity for violence as inequality worsens and much more!
