The third resource is a Facebook video featuring a segment of Robert Reichs film, Inequality for All. Robert Reich is making the case that we could help the working-class and the middle-class by adopting government policies that would help families that are struggling today. His argument is that good government policies in the 1950s helped to increase economic opportunities for more and more people. Reich believes that if the government more directly assisted people today, that a similar economic boom would occur today.
