Bill Moyers Journal - January 18, 2008

This edition of Bill Moyers Journal casts a wide net. Bill Moyers talks with David Cay Johnston, author of Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill), who asserts that America's system has been rigged to benefit the super-rich; with Harvey J. Kaye, author of Thomas Paine and the Promise of America, who has dedicated much of his life arguing for Paine's decisive influence on the American experiment in democracy; and with Craig Unger, author of House of Bush, House of Saud and The Fall of the House of Bush, in which he lays out the political intrigues of the Bush administration and the Saudi royal family. A Bill Moyers essay on Martin Luther King, Lyndon Johnson, and their strategy to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is also included.
