Meet The 1%er Who Wants To Pay More Taxes




Thinking CAP show

Summary: As we await details of the GOP’s tax plan, Igor and Michele sit down with Seth Hanlon, a senior fellow with CAP’s economic policy team and former tax policy adviser to President Obama. Seth breaks down who the bill helps and who it doesn’t (hint: the middle class). Then, our hosts are joined by Nick Hanauer: entrepreneur, 1%er and fierce advocate in the fight against economic inequality. Nick explains why trickle-down economics simply doesn’t work and how raising the minimum wage has boosted the economy and created jobs.
