He's literally touting the robber baron era of the Gilded Age
Trump: "In 1913 they traded to the income tax system. We used to be all tariff. And we had no income tax and we had the wealthiest country we ever had proportionately from about 1870 to 1913. We had more money than anybody."

The question today is the same as it was during the first Gilded Age: Will we fight for an economy and a democracy that works for all rather than a wealthy few?
From Robber Barons to Bezos: Is History Repeating Itself? | Robert Reich
We’re now in the Second Gilded Age.

The good news? Just like back then, we can fix it.
