Thom Hartmann: A Revolutionary Way to Re-Distribute Wealth

Dame Pauline Green, International Co-op Alliance & Paul Hazen, U.S. Overseas Cooperative Development Council, join Thom Hartmann. Raising taxes on the rich - raising the minimum wage - and putting restrictions on CEO pay have all been suggested as ways to reduce wealth inequality in America. While these ideas can help - shouldn't we be looking at more revolutionary ways to re-distribute wealth in our country?

And I saw one company where all the workers shared all the profits equally no matter what job they performed....and no management at all...it was run democratically with a vote...there was no CEO that just sucked out the profits and contributed nothing.
That I think is the future if we want to end the corporate oligarchy
