I’m fascinated by [America’s income inequality] because a lot of the people who vote for this laissez-faire market policy are the people who get creamed by it.

It’s like a casino: They’re looking at the guy winning- the guy who pulled the lever and all the bells went off and all the coins fell out of the slot machine- and they think “that could be me. I want to play by those rules.” But actually those are the house rules, and most of you are going to lose.
