Chuck Collins on the Industry That Protects Wealth and How It Hurts Everyone--Most people feel on the outside of extreme wealth. Some aspire to it. Many consider it immoral. For most of us it’s a sideshow. But Chuck says, “No! It’s not a sideshow. It’s the main show. It affects all of us.” We pay the taxes that build what everyone uses. They avoid taxes, sometimes paying none, taking no responsibility for the common good though they benefit from it. Chuck explains who makes all this work.

The states of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota have been just such fertile soils. And yet, precisely in the area where those three states meet on the Missouri River, this effective activist on environmental concerns helps us break through this stereotype that not much good can happen in areas dominated by right-wing politicians and profit-hungry corporations.
