Meaning of the quote
This quote suggests that the government's policies and actions are designed to make wealthy people even wealthier, while making poor people even poorer. The president believes the government is favoring the rich and neglecting the needs of the less fortunate members of society. In other words, the government's decisions are widening the gap between the rich and the poor, rather than working to create more economic equality.
