When Trump says the economy is good, he is describing the situation for those who are in the club. The problem is that not enough people can make it into the club today; they’re trapped by undereducation and economic injustice, creating an unsustainable trajectory for all of us.

The idea that the rich are those who work hard and the poor are simply those who do not work hard is a vicious, mean-spirited stereotype that’s both inaccurate and unworthy of who we are.

We often hear politicians talk about "the rich, the rich", pointing fingers at others, what's your net worth? Are you not considered rich?

I don’t live in a bubble and I do see some of what you describe. But I see as well that there are many people in America whose wealth does not stem from any work at all, and many who work hard and cannot get a break.
