Nick Hanauer's - Is Romney a Predator?

Nick Hanauer joins Thom Hartmann. Nick Hanauer recently gave a TED talk on this issue that caused some controvery since TED at first didn't publish it, saying it was "too political" and would "insult business managers." What's your reaction to this? And doesn't it prove your point that the super rich have been coddled and treated far too well compared to working people in the last 30 years? Given that economies run on demand - when we give extremely wealthy people tax cuts to stimulate the economy - aren't we basically asking them to spend tons of money to create more demand? How much does someone like yourself have to spend to equal what middle class families would be spending if they had more money in their pockets?
