Republicans want you to think just the opposite of the truth, consumers are the job creators-Nick Hanauer

Lawrence O'Donnell feature an interview with Nick Hanauer, one of the founding investors of Amazon, who said what I've been saying for years; consumers are the real job creators. 

Go figure. Because it's opposite day, every day in Republican world, when they say the wealthy are the job creators, they mean the opposite. It's mind boggling to think that if Republicans do win control in November, they will run the countries economic engine in reverse. Maybe we deserve it.
Back in March at the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Conference in Long Beach, California attendees heard something wonktastically different. Nick Hanauer gave an eyebrow-raising talk that casts quite a bit of doubt on Mitt Romney's biggest campaign asset... that the rich are super-awesome at creating jobs. Watch Hanauer's remarks in the clip. 



Here's O'Donnell's interview:
