Speaking at the annual Labor Day parade in Detroit, Biden lamented average Americans' limited access to fair wages.

"The American people have not stopped dreaming. The American people have not walked away from what they believe they are entitled to. Just give them a chance -- no handout, just give them a chance," Biden said.

The speech was Biden's second appearance at Labor Day festivities in the last three years. During his impassioned address, Biden credited labor unions for building the middle class, and thus "building the United States as we know it."

"If the middle class is doing fine, everybody does fine," he said. "The wealthy get very wealthy, and the poor have a way up."
