Hillary Clinton says many Americans are “frustrated — even furious” because the economy is “not yet working the way it should,” and that “an awful lot of people feel there is less and less respect for the work they do. And less respect for them, period.”

Donald Trump has built his presidential campaign around his “Make America Great Again” theme. He says “the system is rigged against our citizens,” too many of whom have been “neglected, ignored and abandoned.”

Do you believe our nation is off track? What has gone wrong?
