If you've heard the phrase "raising wages kills jobs," you've heard the latest in a long line of lies from the rich designed to masquerade self-serving policies in pro-social language. Nick Hanauer debunks six such lies: Denial, The Free Market Knows Best, It's Your Fault Not Mine, It's a Job Killer, You'll Only Make It Worse, and It's Socialism. Nick and Andrew talk about the fight for a $15 minimum wage, the real reason we have a federal deficit, and a new school of economics called Market Humanism.
