The rich get richer, and the rest of us... get what we get. A pathetic federal minimum wage. Universal programs that would transform American society, such as the Child Tax Credit, free public college, or Medicare for All, dropped or not in the political will, despite popular appeal and desperate need. Union density at just over 10% of workers nationwide. Add to it all, major inflation. The ramifications of these are felt by the vast majority in the 42-year period dating back to 1980, when the current tide toward the top truly turned.
