Inequality

This is a good watch, I you want to see where things started to shift.

1955 vs 2025, who actually had it better?

[W]hat these lines all show is that 1980 was kind of this inflection point in our economy where the top earners kind of started to get in on most of the prosperity.

The period of expansion of the middle class that started in the 1940s, where most people in the workforce shared the gains in the economy equally, started ending in the 1980s. This isn’t an accident — this was policy.

The problem is, the party that wants to Make America Great Again isn’t talking about bringing us back to this era of American history — they want to fully restore the policies we had before then.
