Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich explains that while Republicans appear to be losing battles – over the Affordable Care Act, the government shutdown, etc., the right is actually winning the larger war over the direction of political debate in the United States.

In this video, professor Reich offers his pointed tips for Democrats on how to reframe the debate and restart the discussion where it belongs – on raising taxes on the wealthy, investing in education and increasing the minimum wage.
