Hassett: Income Inequality Declined in Trump’s First Term Because of the Policies We’re Now Multiplying By Two

EXCERPT:

HASSETT: “I’m so proud to be on the team that President Trump has put together with people like that. And you are right. If you go back and look, again, the bottom line is that President Trump’s America first, American worker first agenda in the first term made it so that wages went up by $6,500, wages went up by between 2017 and 2019 by more for people at the bottom than people at the top. Income inequality declined because of the policies that we’re now multiplying by two. So, to oppose those is to oppose reductions in income inequality, oppose growth in real wages, growth of jobs. And the people that are opposing that, I don’t know what they’re really standing for, but it’s certainly not the American people."
