Rahm Emanuel(@RahmEmanuel):Growing up, on our family room wall hung my grandmother's little purse that held her and my two great aunts passports from 1914, and on either side, photographs of relatives who never made it to America. It was my parents' daily reminder: you are the fortunate few — and you don't get to be frivolous with your opportunity in America. Being an American is winning the lottery ticket of life. But for too many, the path to the middle class dream is broken. My full conversation with @costareports on CBS Sunday Morning.
