Aren't healthcare and education serious issues in the US though? It doesn't seem like a lie.

Yes, but letting the rich get richer while the poor get poorer won't actually help if you're in the middle. That's just a lie to make you feel good about other people getting screwed for the benefit of the people causing most of your problems.

Yes I think we both agree. If everyone has access to essential services then that helps everyone, including the people in the middle due to reduced corruption, crime etc.
