“One way to get started on reforming some of these inexcusably bad policies is to get involved. Just taking part in community activities give people a sense of how working together with others can do modest reforms in a community.” -Phil Harvey “It's your money. So where do you want it to go?” -Lisa Conyers The rich are getting richer; the poor are getting poorer. Hard work ends with a paycheck; paychecks end up paying taxes. Life can feel unfair, and it will continue that way until the system is changed. In this episode, Shirley interviews Phil Harvey and Lisa Conyers. Phil and Lisa co-authored a very timely book called, The Human Cost of Welfare. In it, we learn the harsh truth about some biased federal spending & disguised welfare programs. Lisa and Harvey also discuss what private sectors can learn about putting up noble projects and making it a success without needing tax money or subsidies. And for today's highlight: What can you as a citizen do to end this injustice? Social issues will always be a part of an imperfect system. But there’s hope for improvement. Listen in and make sure your money goes where you want it to go!
