Qualified Insight from Robert B. Reich


February 15, 2014 --

Former Labor Secretary Robert B. Reich, in a letter published in The New York Times, January 23, noted: "Unequal political power is the endgame of widening inequality--its most noxious and insidious consequence, its fundamental threat to our democracy."

Reich did not call for President Obama to put an end to presidential fundraising gatherings where the price of admission is about two and a half times the annual income of a Social Security recipient.
