Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin with Patrick Meighan, a writer best know for his work on “Family Guy” and “Titus” who was arrested and imprisoned earlier this month while participating in the “Occupy LA” protest at City Hall. He tells us the story of his treatment at the hands of the LAPD that the mainstream press failed to report and we discuss the rough treatment those protesting the destruction of our economy get in contrast to the kid glove treatment of those who reaped billions in profits while bringing economic ruin upon millions of their fellow citizens who in turn bailed them out with taxpayer money that has rewarded Wall Street while Main Street languishes.
Part 2	Then we hear about “The 10 Greediest Americans of 2011". Sam Pizzigati, a veteran labor journalist and fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies joins us to discuss his hall of shame list of America’s greediest CEO’s who get exorbitant paychecks and bonuses while laying off workers, cutting their benefits, squeezing their pay and making them work longer for less.
Part 3	Then finally we discuss the likelihood of the Euro crisis resuming soon in the wake of a European summit that many analysts feel did not solve the problem but kicked the can down the road. Stephen Walt, a professor of International Affairs at Harvard University joins us to discuss the financial crisis that will not go away and we also talk about his latest article at Foreign Policy, “Five Potential Game-changers in International Diplomacy”.
