@eli1601 He did say it. He said it in a video at a High School in which he was giving a lecture. That comment got his presentation shut down.

Don't "doubt." Just look it up.

Nobody rich is making you poor . . . The rich are not making you poor. They are paying your salary! . . . Income mobility drops only when you drop out of high-school or you have a baby out of wedlock. Ok? This is what makes you poor!

@Arzawa Oh so the people he was speaking to were closed minded and refused to listen. Hmmm, a general trait of the perpetually poor.

@katielass They were students and teachers. They school didn't want the kids who came from poor homes to be offended
