Richard Wanderer, author of "The Holiday Party (A Tale of a Corporate Takeover)" http://www.theholidayparty-ataleofacorporatetakeover.com states, "I saw an Op-Edit piece this week in the Los Angeles Times written by U.S. Senator, Bernie Sanders, which I believe says it all about what is happening in America today." Senator Sanders is a member of a non-partisan Budget Committee composed of members of the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives who are trying to avoid another government shutdown. Wanderer says, "The Senator's comments were enlightening as to what is happening in America today."

Thus, Senator Sanders' Op-Edit piece mentions: Unemployment in the U.S. is closer to 14%; the wealth and income inequality is greater in the U.S. than in any other major country in the world; 95% of all new income between between 2009-2012 went to the top 1% while many millions of working Americans saw their income decline; billions in tax revenue could be collected from the very wealthy individuals and corporations by the U.S. government if tax shelters in places like the Cayman Islands were curtailed; to work on cutting the huge U.S. deficit it is not right to cut back on social welfare programs which certainly help America's middle-class, i.e., Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare. " I agree with everything the Senator has to say because he, too, is opposed to the overreacting of corporate greed", says author, Richard Wanderer.

In Wanderer's fictional suspense novel, "The Holiday Party (A Tale of a Corporate Takeover" http://www.theholidayparty-ataleofacorporatetakeover.com a huge, for profit only, media conglomerate takes over a family owned national magazine which was run in an employee friendly manner. The conglomerate comes and institutes a Draconian thrift regime and fires loyal employees of the takeover magazine for little or no cause (mostly because in the eyes of the takeover conglomerate they made too much money). Their former friendly immediate management is soon gone. They really hurt the lives of these employees. The employees are now economic victims with families to support. Their efforts had made the magazine a profitable enterprise and ironically a great takeover target. This is one of the reasons why unemployment is so high in America today as one business gobbles up another leaving good employees undeservedly unemployed. "This is the poison of corporate greed", says Richard Wanderer.

Wanderer's background for writing his fictional suspense novel about the takeover of a national magazine and what happens to the lives of its employees after the takeover is that he has spent more than 50 years of his life working in the advertising sales departments of major national magazines and newspaper chains in NYC and LA. His characters and scenarios are often an amalgamation of people and situations he has come in contact with through his personal experiences as well as a writer's imagination. Later in life, while working full time and raising a family, he also became a member of the California Bar.
