PART 3 --- THE CORPORATE OFFENSIVE
Senator Bernie Sanders:
A decision was reached by corporate America that working with unions, working with government to improve the standard of living for all people was not the right thing to do.
Big business doesn't like the government to tell it what to do.
They don't want anybody to interfere with their ability to make money in the way that they see fit.
Narrator:
In 1971,corporate leaders began to orchestrate a detailed battle plan to eliminate any government policies that might stand between them and profits.
The plan was laid out in an influential memo called :"Attack on American Free Enterprise System."
