If calling out creationists and insulting the religious were not enough for Neil deGrasse Tyson, he has decided to step up his game and go after the very people in the United States who believe they are untouchable: capitalists.

Tyson, the host of Fox’s hit television series Cosmos, sat down with MSNBC host Chris Hayes to discuss all things science. One topic that came to the forefront and just happened to be the subject of this week's episode of Cosmos was climate change.

With so many Americans, and almost an entire political party on the side of climate change denial, Hayes wanted to know what would change people’s minds, if the overwhelming evidence is not enough.

“People, if they begin to lose their wealth, they change their mind real fast, I’ve found,” Tyson said. “Particularly in a capitalist culture.”
