BROADCAST: Aug. 4, 1975 | DURATION: 00:31:23

Synopsis

One of the questions discussed by Fred and LaDonna Harris is whether or not the government is going to protect the interests of the average family or continue to protect the super-rich and the giant corporations. Former senator Fred Harris says people are being over-taxed by the government and that there needs to be a fairer distribution of wealth, income, and power in America.
