Yesterday Chris Hayes sat down with Representative Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), Economics and Law Professor William Black, Alexis Goldstein of Occupy the SEC, Kai Wright of Colorlines and Linguistics Professor John McWhorter to discuss the JOBS Act, which would ease regulations for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
