On one hand, we have an America in which the wealthiest people have never ever in the history of our country had it so good. Today we have more income and wealth inequality than we have ever had. Today we have three multi billionaires. Mr. Musk, Mr. Bezos, Mr. Zuckerberg. These three combined own more wealth than the bottom half of American society. 170 million Americans. Now, we don't talk about it much for obvious reasons, but the idea that so few have so much and so many have so little is not what this country is supposed to be about. (52:53–53:19)
