MSNBC host Chris Hayes joined former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer on June 21, 2013 at 92Y to discuss all things politics. In this clip, Hayes detailed the "curse of the overclass."

"We are cursed with an overclass convinced they are all scrappy underdogs."

Hayes shared a quote from former presidential candidate Mitt Romney's wife Ann as an example of elites' feeling that they too have struggled:

"We were so strapped for cash, we had to sell some of Mitt's father's stock to make ends meat."
