A tribute to our nurses from National Nurses United and all nurses around the world. As we always report, nurses are at the top of the list every year for being the most admired and respected profession. Nurses take an oath to advocate for their patients and they take it very seriously — sometimes a great peril to themselves.

I’m sure our listeners have heard us talk about the Robin Hood Tax"a small change for banks"a big change for people. This idea is global not local.
