Wealth inequality isn't just about money. It's about power inequality, health care inequality, access inequality, educational inequality, opportunity inequality. It creates an economic caste system in a country that is supposedly dedicated to not having one. We need to fix this.

It was never dedicated to not having one. It’s a myth.

During the 1970's the average American worker had decent benefits, could afford a home, could afford a car, could afford a yearly vacation and to send their kids to college. The era of trickle down economics starting in 1980's is an aberrational chapter. It began, and it can end.

Yes, but I think it was just a coincidence. It was not planned for people to have all those things. They stopped the momentum as soon as they could.

And what changed in 1971? Answer: Nixon took the US off the gold standard and that gave the Federal Reserve carte blanche to inflate the US Dollar.
