Shoving the hogs out of the creek / Jim Hightower.

Jim Hightower, form Commissioner of Agriculture for Texas, speaks about the needs and opportunities facing liberal progressives in the late 20th century. He begins with a call for unity, warning against the efforts of the political and economic elite to divide the rest of the country. The everyday people need to reestablish fundamental values in American society, rejecting those imposed from above. He points to the increased concentration of wealth during the 1980's, and says there must be a redistribution of wealth. He concludes with an examination of the Savings and Loan crisis, particularly how Neil Bush only suffered a reprimand while the taxpayers contribute billions of dollars to the bailout.|SHOVING THE HOGS OUT OF THE CREEK / Jim Hightower. - Jim Hightower, form Commissioner of Agriculture for Texas, speaks about the needs and opportunities facing liberal progressives in the late 20th century.
