This kind of gaping inequality gives lie to the promise that’s at the very heart of America: that this is a place where you can make it if you try.

In American history, it's about hard work and self-reliance. It's not about collecting giveaways or being on unemployment forever.

We call that the American dream, but in fact, it's a universal dream of a better life that people have all over the world. It is a reminder that every country in the world has rich people.
