You cannot generalize about democrats with your statement about envious. If you knew anything about the democratic party, then you would know that they have always stood for helping the working class people in America. If, that means trying to get better wages for those people, so be it. That does not mean automatic envy of those who may be better off economically.
Speaking of the Clinton's sharing their wealth, how much has President Trump shared? He still owes people money that did work for him. Notice, they did work for him. Yet he doesn't pay for an honest days work. How is that making America great again?

I don't have great things to say about either party, since even republicans have been drawn into the the thinking that the government is responsible for curing the ills of society. But to say the democrats have stood for and helped the "working class" is not only grossly inaccurate, it is sad, since people who are motivated to work and achieve for themselves are the most hurt by socialism and socialist policies which have for generations now been the hallmark of the Democratic Party. The democrats, instead, should be symbolized by the poor. Democrats rely on a target group of the electorate; blacks, hispanics, and the white welfare class. Policies which not only offer benefits for being poor, also insure that those same people remain poor, and dependent on the system that those folks know that democrats will continue to support. The "white guilt" that Shelby Steel eloquently and bravely describes, and other emotionalism has over the years added a huge section of misinformed members of the electorate who have been brainwashed into believing the those who have achieved success somehow should owe those who haven't, and that this debt must be forced upon the "producers" in society, even if they have done nothing to cause the misfortune of the "needy".

I don't care about democrats or republicans, but rather whether people understand the value of freedom, individual liberty, free enterprise capitalism, self initiative and reliance, and LIMITED government. Very few get this today though. Too few.
