trickle down economics

This week on the SLFM podcast Trev FM goes toe to toe with former Texas Senator Phil Gramm over his recent book "The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate". Well actually Trev only shares a  “Mystery Science Theatre 2000” style critique of the Senators provocative findings.  Adding some of Trev’s own East Flatbush philosophy in the face of the Senators victim blaming, dog whistling and over-dependence on privatization instead of community.

This week on The Bedtime Pod, Noah and Syd discuss the writers strike, making things with friends, and how when they don’t get to do what they love they manage to find passion elsewhere. Syd tries, and fails, to have a nip slip and for the first time ever we need to give a trigger warning re: violence in the media. It’s scary out there.

On this episode of The Open Mind, we're delighted to welcome Lawrence B. Benenson, co-owner and principal of Benenson Capital and founding member of and advisor to the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of Americans with incomes over $1 million dollars who are leading the charge to raise taxes on the rich and to combat political and income inequality. On the most pressing issues facing the American people. Economic fairness, environmental security, and educational access Benenson is admirably on the front lines. 

“Charitarian, humanitarian American patriot,” as one leading industry publication profiled, my guest today's altruistic nature makes him a passionate champion of education, equal rights, and improving the lives of others, a moral conscience in an age of degrading moral fiber.

Moreover, he is chiefly determined to uphold fundamental American values that are eroding today: combating the resurgence of bigotry, deescalating the climate crisis and facilitating civically intellectually and democracy revitalizing media options unrigged to the latest tweet, including here on The Open Mind - for which I must disclose, he is a critical benefactor from the next generation, something for which I am eminently grateful.
