that. that s true. tax $250,000 people. the definition of rich is someone else. whatever 97% of the people say someone else. a strategy, yes, someone else. there is a number we could probably all agree upon or at least a set of conditions we could agree on to qualify someone as rich. being able to pay bills, save every month, leisure, vacation, being able to send your children to school. i thought that was middle class. what you re describing, the middle class dream. be able to do a little better than your parents, not drowning in debt and move forward in the economy. here is another point. every minute we spend talking about who is rich and what is rich, we re not talking about the president s jobs record. most people just want to make sure they have a job and job security. getting rich is the american ideal, they want to make sure their kids can in the future. a job,000, the important thing, brilliant white house strategy to talk about rich and fair and not lost job
best place to get rich. it s part of the american dream. potential republican vice president candidate marco rubio says wealth is on its way. we have never been a nation of haves and have nots. we are a nation of haves and soon to have, of people who have made it and people who will make it, and that s who we they d to remain. those soon to haves may beg to differ, according to the project, best way to make it to the top in america, be bornt the top. 40% in the top tier family wealth as children stayed there as adults. it s the same story for the poorest americans with little evidence to show they are moving on up in big numbers. i m joined by will cain, mark lamont hill, will, what is rich and why does it matter? i don t know. when we throw that turn around as though it s self-evident, what is rich. is $250,000 rich? is a family of four on $250,000? is that rich? a million, that sounds arbitrarily right, that is rich? i think in the end the definition of rich is the ot
more than anything in today s business environment, you need trust not only externally, but internally. when you re transparent with your employees and talk about the mission of the organization and how you re going to get there, they re going to be more excited to fulfill that mission. so i highlight great companies like zappos and tony shay. he builds an incredible amount of trust which creates great smer service and loyalty. they know when they order on zappos, they ll get free shipping both ways, because that s what they promise. giving is good business. that s the reason i wrote this book. i started tom s as a good business to give away a pair of shoes every time we sell a pair, and because of that, we ve helped 2 million people. what s with you and tony with all these with the really good guys, with really good values, that seem to like to sell shoes. what is it about selling shoes? i don t know how we both got in the shoe business, but we definitely have the same val
