More important than anything else is people want to say, do you know what is going on in my life? And if you don't talk about that reality, no one's going to trust you at all. Yeah. All right. Fact. But let's call people Latinx, Bernie.

You're seeing people on the top getting phenomenally rich. You're no better off. And by the way, the likelihood is your kid is going to be worse off than you are, right? Yeah. That's a tough reality.
