Are We Benefiting?

Sally Kohn: We are benefiting from tax breaks that accrue in America, they add up to about $1.8 trillion a year. Most of those benefits accrue to wealthy Americans and should be included in the calculation of what a welfare program is,. She says she has felt complicit in some of the problems with poverty in our country by having benefited from the growth of the stock market over the last 10 or 20 years.
