Episode 95: The Torching of Education; The “Opportunity Zone” Tax Scam.

The destruction of our education system hasn’t just been a natural phenomena like the sun rising in the east. It’s been a determined assault on our schools and teachers by right-wing ideological zealots. To get the facts about this campaign of destruction, I talk to Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, about the union’s important new study, “A Decade of Neglect: Public Education Funding in the Aftermath of the Great Recession.” I, then, explore with tax expert Richard Phillips the below-the-radar tax scam slipped into the Republican tax plan robbery called “opportunity zones.” Our Robber Barons of the week are the CEO and Chairman of Dish Network.
