Perhaps I could express myself more clearly. From where I stand, families in or close to poverty look at how they are doing by asking if they are making progress, that is, are they moving ahead, struggling more, or doing about the same. They also look at how others in similiar situations to themselves are doing. This is not having it one way only, as I think you imply.
And they do this by comparing themselves to Donald Trump ? Because that is what you are doing.
Go Away, lefty!
