Tavis Smiley: Interview with Ralph Nader

Saw this yesterday and thought it was pretty good:

The consumer and political activist shares his opinions on how minimum wage and the weakened labor movement will play into the 2012 presidential race.
A consumer advocate, lawyer and political activist, Ralph Nader first made headlines in 1965 with his book Unsafe at Any Speed, which led to congressional hearings and passage of a series of automobile safety laws. Nader went on to build a national network of citizen groups that have had a significant impact in such areas as tax reform, nuclear energy, healthcare and safety programs. Named by The Atlantic as one of the 100 most influential figures in American history, Nader ran for president twice, including in the controversial 2000 election. The best-selling author's upcoming title is The Seventeen Solutions.
