Robert Reich: The 4 Biggest Right Wing Lies About Inequality

[Soph0571]

Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich debunks conservative myths about poverty, inequality, and the economy.

1. The rich and CEOs are America’s job creators, so we dare not tax them.
2. People are paid what they’re worth in the market, so we shouldn’t tamper with pay.
3. Any child can make it in America with enough guts, gumption, and intelligence, so we don’t need to do anything for poor and working-class kids.
4. Increasing the minimum wage will result in fewer jobs, so we shouldn’t raise it.

Heh!
