Big-name charitable givers like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett may dominate the headlines, but poor and middle-class Americans actually collectively donate more to charity than they do. An author gives us an overview of the most effective ways for ordinary people to give back to society. Then we talk to WPR’s state government reporter about the midterm election results in Wisconsin, and we talk to a politics and Congress editor about the latest news on Capitol Hill.
