      I think he’s actually saying the opposite.

      Media reports say the economy is doing great because corporations are making record profits

      Meanwhile wages continue to stagnate and prices continue to rise.

      The economy isn’t great just because rich people are making more money. It’s only great when consumers have real purchasing power and are paid a good enough wage to circulate that money back into the economy.
