00:00We all grew up with folks who sort of looked down on us because of what our dads did.

00:07They weren't in business.

00:08They weren't executives.

00:10They weren't something special.

00:12But they are special.

00:13You know, but people like Donald Trump learned a different lesson.

00:17He learned the best way to get rich is inherited.

00:22He learned that paying taxes is something working people did, not him.

00:27He learned that telling people you're fired was something to laugh about.

00:32Not in my household.

00:33Not in my neighborhood.

00:34I mean it, sincerely.

00:35No joke.

00:36Especially being fired because you had no protection.

00:46Folks, I guess that's how you look at the world from Mar-a-Lago, where Trump and his

00:53rich friends embraced the same failed trickle-down policies that have failed working-class families

00:58and union families for over 40 years.

01:01But if you grew up where we grew up, nobody handed you anything.

01:06Being told you were fired wasn't entertainment.

01:09It was devastating.

01:10It was a nightmare.

01:12And folks, we all know people like Trump who look down on us.

01:17Don't we?

01:18We all know somebody we grew up with like that.

01:20Well, folks, where I come from, it matters.

01:22When I look at the economy, I don't see it through the eyes of Mar-a-Lago.

01:26I see it through the eyes of Scranton and working people like all of you and my family.

01:31You know, we know the best way to grow an economy is from the bottom up and the middle

01:35out, not the top down.

01:37My dad used to say, not a whole hell of a lot trickled down on his kitchen table in

01:41that top-down policy.

01:43When we do that, when we work from the bottom up and the middle out, the poor have a ladder

01:48up and the middle class does well.

01:49And by the way, the wealthy still do very well if they just start paying the damn taxes.
