Part 1

We begin with a survivor of the Virginia Tech massacre, Colin Goddard, who was shot four times and was one out of seven in a class of seventeen to survive the shooting with three of the four bullets still in his body. We discuss why, after Virginia Tech and the mass shooting in Arizona of a U.S. Congresswoman and a Federal Judge, nothing was done to prevent deranged individuals from obtaining military firepower to up the ante and break records in the mass killing of innocents. |

Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist and columnist with Reuters, David Cay Johnston joins us to discuss the scale of global tax-avoidance that might be as high as 32 trillion.
