    With all the talk of change coming out of the campaigns, can we expect big money to lose its grip on Washington? Bill Moyers interviews New York Times investigative reporter and Pulitzer Prize winner David Cay Johnston, who says America's system has been rigged to benefit the super-rich. "There's one party in Washington. It's the party of money. It has different wings and factions. But Washington is the party of money. And the wealthiest people in America, the large corporations in America, are busy milking the government for everything they can get," says Johnston. Also on the program, Bill Moyers talks with Harvey J. Kaye, the Ben & Joyce Rosenberg Professor of Social Change and Development and the founding director of the Center for History and Social Change at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Kaye's book, "Thomas Paine and the Promise of America," discusses the role of whom he calls "the greatest radical of a radical age." And Bill Moyers sits down with journalist Craig Unger, contributing editor of Vanity Fair and author of the bestselling "House of Bush, House of Saud" and, most recently, "The Fall of the House of Bush." Unger offers analysis on President Bush's recent trip to the Middle East.
