1/ The main conduit of wealth inequality is unfair tax policy. For the last 40 years we’ve been transferring wealth into the hands of a few through increasingly reduced taxes for top earners as well as corporate subsidies and financial deregulation.

2/ With the 2017 $2 Trillion tax cut, 83 cents of every dollar went to the very richest people. The idea that any of that money is “trickling down” and “lifting all boats” is like a sick joke now; it has left and is leaving tens of millions of people without even a life vest.

Capitalism itself is inherently neutral. We have a tradition in America of pushing back against overreach by capitalism: labor unions, child labor laws, anti-trust laws etc. But in 1980 they started deregulating capitalism & deregulating banks, turning it into an unfettered force
