<p>Produced by KSQD 90.7, 89.5 &amp; 89.7FM</p> <p><strong>“Be Bold America!” Sunday, December 17, 2023 </strong>at <strong>5:00pm (PT)</strong></p> <p>From praising the health benefits of cigarettes to moralizing on the character-building qualities of child labor, rich corporate overlords have gone to astonishing, often <strong>morally indefensible lengths to defend</strong> their profits.</p> <p>Since the <strong>dawn of capitalism, they’ve told the same lies over and over</strong> to explain why their bottom line is always more important than the greater good.</p> <p><strong>You say you want to raise the federal minimum wage?</strong> Why, you’ll only make things worse for the very people you want to help! <strong>Should we hold polluters accountable for the toxins they’re dumping in our air and water?</strong> No, the free market will save us!</p> <p>It’s always the <strong>same tired, threats</strong> and finger-pointing, and a concentrated campaign <strong>to keep wealth and power in the hands of the wealthy and powerful.</strong></p> <p><strong>Interview Guest</strong>: </p> <p><strong>Donald Cohen</strong> is the founder and executive director of the research and policy center “In the Public Interest” and the co-author (with Allen Mikaelian) of <em>The Privatization of Everything</em> and (with Nick Hanauer and Joan Walsh) of <em>Corporate Bullsh*t </em>(both from The New Press).
