Mark Cuban has a plan to get more Americans working and spending

"That means taking care of employees, paying them a little more and keeping them on the payroll as long as they possibly can," Cuban told CNN's Poppy Harlow. He envisions an "America 2.0" where CEOs do this out of necessity because "if there aren't enough people working and spending money, then we have no economy."
