Reagan the Hatchet Man

The Rick Smith Show

August 6, 2024

On August 3, 1981, Ronald Reagan fired 11,000 air traffic controllers. He also banned them from federal government jobs for life. Their crime? Well, they had the audacity to go on strike over unsafe working conditions that put workers and passengers in danger. It signaled an all-out assault on the working class, and that assault has continued for decades, making the rich immorally rich, and the rest of us struggling to make ends meet. We discuss this and more with today’s guests: Sarah Burris of Raw Story and former GOP Congressman Bob Ney.
