“I have a big secret so don’t tell anyone.  We Democrats have two labs, secret labs, one in Berkeley and one in Brooklyn, where we come up with ideas to completely piss off the working class.…. Somehow, in my lifetime, my party, the Democrats have gone from being the party of the factory floor to the party of the faculty lounge. Last week, I spent a day with the Machinists Union in Chicago. Great guys. Not a one of them came up to me and said ‘Please take my tax dollars to pay off the debt of someone who went to Stanford.'”
