30. What's your reasoning there, Jeb!?

After all, since 1980, American workers have been working more hours and working more productively and wages have remained flatlined that entire time. Of all the additional Wealth generated by Labor in the last 35 years, damned little of it has gone into working people's pockets. So your prescription is that we all need to be like Boxer in Animal Farm: I must work harder.

When do you think some of that Wealth is going to trickle into our pockets like it's been gushing into yours, Jeb!? We've been doing what you say we should do for 35 years. How much more are you making this year than you made in 1980? When will we see that kind of increase?

Because otherwise, it sounds like so much bullshit to me.
