The Rise of the Middle Class

I think you heard me say a rising tide lifts all boats. What Paul Wellstone meant is that we build from the middle class out. That's when America was strongest when we had a strong middle class. Our country now is much, much more unequal than it was when I was growing up. It's cool if people make a lot of money, but tax them and then use that money to raise the living standards of those who have less.
