If America’s distribution of income had remained the same as it was in the three decades following the second world war, the bottom 90% of Americans would now be $47 trillion richer. Tax the rich. Break up monopolies. Invest in the American people.

Not really. Too steep penalties would've scared away many of the corporations and businesspeople from the US, taking amassed wealth and opportunities with them. & the bottom receiving more financial opportunities doesn't imply that it won't be spent lavishly and carelessly.

@RBReich Many on top forget that the USA's economy is driven by consumers. If the bottom 75% of the population had more disposable income, the economy would grow. That is also why immigration is good for the economy.
