On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation with the one percent who are publicly supporting the 99%. Several groups comprised of the 1% are calling for more equality and higher taxes. Who are the 1%? Millionaire households now have at least $45.9 trillion in wealth. What are their obligations to the rest of us? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. If you're in the 1% -- how do you see your role in society? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
