OK, now I know why young upwardly mobile professionals are not voting for Hillary.

"Under the tax code, they can pay a lower percentage of their income in taxes on $50 million, than a teacher, or a nurse, or a truck driver in Parma pays on $50,000. That's very discouraging to people.
"You just feel like, 'Wait a minute, I'm working as hard as I can,' " she said.
