tonight former congressman alan grayson and van jones under strength of the movement. senator sanders on how it's already forced some politicians to wake up except not these guys yet. plus, supreme injustice. >> she's involved herself in the litigation. >> a key senator goes after liberal justice elena kagan but has no problem with thomas and scalia's conflicts of interest? senator, is your hypocrisy meter broken? and why is john boehner crying again? it's his birthday. he should be happy. we'll have our special birthday wishes. >> happy birthday. >> politics nation starts right now. welcome. i'm al sharpton. tonight's lead, the birth of a new progressive movement in america. marking the two-month anniversary of the middle class movement, protesters across the nation today took to the streets to march for families. in new york city at this hour thousands of protesters are in downtown manhattan enroute to the brooklyn bridge. we've already seen massive marches from zuccotti park to the new york stock exchange as thousands gathered near wall street. for the most part the

sean grayson, the general counsel for afscme number 8., to you think the republican legislators earn their pay as opposed to you folks? >> i don't know one teacher or one children's service worker who went into our job to get rich. and if merit pay and pay for performance is based on whether i believe i'm doing my job like it is for governor kasich, then there's something wrong with their system of merit pay. because we go into teaching and we go into working with children from troubled homes because we want to make a difference in their lives. we want to make society better. >> jim, what about the arrogance of that sound bite, of that republican saying that democrats apparently don't earn what they make? >> i would welcome them to come out and work on any of our streets in the inner city of columbus, cincinnati, cleveland, toledo, or dayton. ride in a police car eight hours and deal what we deal with and ensure we go home to our families safe at the end of our shift. >> what will this do to the forces? >> it's a concern for me. they're n

grayson is right! so says the authoritative non- partisan cbo, congressional budget office, released last week in their report. over the past 30 years, the wealthiest 1% of americans had incomes that rose by, get this, 275%. the average salary for that top 1% of the wealthiest americans for one year of work was $352,000. where isas the middle, 60% of americans, aka the middle- class, saw children come increase by just 40%. the average salary for a middle- class american rose to just under $50,000 a year. why this enormous income gap? one major reason is that u.s. workers without a college education cannot compete with the chinese, the indian, or other workers around the world that better educated and cheaper. question, is it a fallacy that the rich just get richer? pat buchanan? >> no, john. what happened to the american economy is dramatic historic transfer from manufacturing and production power to a financial capital where people buy and sell and trade paper. second thing happened is this, we droppe

alan grayson on how a warrior and the fight for fairness has republican scott brown running scared, and a wisconsin showdown. democrats launch their battle to take down union-busting governor scott walker. we'll go there live. plus, another herman cain moment. >> would you favor collective bargaining for federal employees? >> they already have it, don't they? >> oh, brother. "politics nation" starts right now. welcome to "politics nation." i'm al sharpton. tonight's lead. in just 59 days something has changed in this country. before dawn this morning police officers in riot gear raided occupy wall street, evicting and arresting hundreds of protesters. a judge ruled late today that the protesters may not bring their tents and gear back into the park. it's a shrewd move by mayor bloomberg, but i disagree with it. protest is allowed but staying in the park is not? but no matter what happens in that park, this movement against corporate greed is not only not over, it's only just beginning. thanks to what occupy wall street has done, there's a new focus on injustice in our economy. like the

grayson? >> well, there hasn't been in. and that's the sad part of it.ee years since the banks got bailed out to the tune of $16 trillion directly from the fed and another $10 trillion lent to foreign central banks and then from there to foreign institutions. so a total of $26 trillion and that doesn't even count the bailouts to fannie mae, freddie mac, aig and all the rest that went individually. that's huge amounts of money. we're talking about almost $100,000 per person in america for every man, woman and child in america. >> $100,000 per person? >> that's right. and nothing for the middle class. >> i want to walk through this slowly so people understand this. these banks were getting these huge bailouts, according to this bloomberg report, first payment like $1.2 trillion, while they were still fighting regulations. so they were having it both ways. getting bailed out while they were keeping their levels down in terms of deregulation? >> they call them loans but they took the worst assets, the garbage assets there on the books of institutions like ci

congressman alan grayson noted on countdown with keith olbermann last night is the fed supposed to pick winners and losers for the first time in history and i'm talking about in the one hundred year history of the reserve they played favorites they said we'll give one hundred trillion to this institution one hundred two hundred billion to this institution another hundred billion to this institution and so on down the line when you and i couldn't even come close to accessing those that kind of money on those terms. so who wants to argue with the one percent don't live in a different world than the rest of us now joining me from our studio in los angeles is now the prince senior fellow at demos and author of it takes a pillage and her latest book black tuesday now i want to thank you so much for joining us today and i guess we have a lot to discuss but let's start with this news today about hank paulson letting his buddies had five managers goldman sachs guys know about fannie and freddie before anyone else got to find out because we're just a lowly people. i guess that that was legal whe

i also wanted to -- howard grayson, who is a longstanding activists -- activist in the city and a long-term member of the harvey milk club. he passed away two thursdays ago. i want to recognize that he will be sorely missed. i think that is it. president newlin: item eight, new business for future agenda items. the what? excuse me. did you want to do a report? a short report? a very short report? [laughter] we have had a lot of action items tonight. >> i will save a few things. i want to rehash what has been going on in broadway. probably the issue we have right now is with department 24. i would like to maybe sit down with them and hammer out -- we have had a lot of problems. they have just turned over to new owners. we are getting large party buses coming in. it is at capacity. they get off the party bus with a prepaid ticket and cannot get in. it is creating huge problems on broadway. it is overcrowded as well. we have been making sure they are in compliance. lastly, we got a letter from someone that is out of town. i will read it briefly and let you know what we are doing as far as that

creates the problems that we see today so either move we move towards fostering the significance of grayson's. we have we must have the euro bond that's our position we must have the central bank of europe playing an active role in the in this crisis and not just watching as the day we believe that the germans must change their position they must realize it's for their own good also you know german economy without the european clients is not going to do very well. so we believe that we must find a solution with our european partners greek society is afraid and we we have been used to working the wrong way. friend diplomat in greece a russian diplomat told me half joking half seriously that we are the last soviet republic in europe and i said well i will see how much the percentage of people that work in the public sector see how much your economy is dependent on the public sector so yes we have corrected it sticks of a soviet democracy but i guess not only public sector but talk about the ongoing protests and huge strong. that's coming up on the first of december how much the causing your eco
