THE WAR ON THE POOR & THE WORKING CLASS

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich illustrates the 7 ways that the Republican Party have been waging war on the poor and America's working families ...


In case you missed it, here are the seven issues that the GOP are ignoring or dismissing out of hand: (1) Extending unemployment benefits, (2) Raising the minimum wage, (3) Extending Medicaid benefits, (4) Maintaining food stamp funding levels, (5) Investing in education and job training, (6) Rebuilding America's infrastructure (or any jobs program), and (7) Respecting the right of workers to organize and form unions.
