Robert ReichFrom 1989 to 2019, typical working families saw a negligible increase in wealth.
Meanwhile, the wealthiest one percent got $29 trillion richer in those same 30 years.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Stryder@rbreich how did the wrath of the average worker and the rich progress during the Reagan years? I would have imagined that the disparity started to grow rapidly then with the trickle down economics, deficit spending, union breaking, massive tax cuts for the rich, etc. I am just curious why those years were not part of the statistics that you referenced. Thanks
