Leslie is joined by Fred Rotondaro, a member of the Patriotic Millionaires, a group of more than 200 Americans with annual incomes over $1 million and/or assets of more than $5 million who believe that the country’s current level of economic inequality is both dangerous and immoral.

Leslie and Fred discuss the economic and moral reasons for raising the minimum wage.

Fred Rotondaro was a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress from 2003 to 2015 with a focus on poverty and inequality.

Currently, Fred is Chair of the Board of Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good.
