7:57Now Playing"As the Washington political mill began churning in January, one potential presidential candidate issued a missive that took on the issue of income inequality with particular eloquence. “Millions of our fellow citizens across the broad middle class feel as if the American Dream is now out of their reach,” it said, “that our politics are petty and broken; that opportunities are elusive; and that the playing field is no longer fair or level.”
It wasn't an excerpt from progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren's book or a pitch from Vice President Joe Biden for a middle-class tax break. It was part of a manifesto on the website of Right to Rise, the political-action committee formed by Republican Jeb Bush.
With wages stagnant, concern about wealth distribution increasing, and the president embarking on an aggressive push for the middle class, Republicans aren't just talking about lower taxes and a rising tide lifting all boats. They are making their pitch explicit, with a little help from Democratic rhetoric. They're the right ones to tackle income inequality, they argue, and they won't be afraid to say it."* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
