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.

Back in March at the TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) Conference in Long Beach, California attendees heard something wonktastically different.

Watch Hanauer's remarks in the clip.
Here's O'Donnell's interview:
