At What Point Do Trump Supporters Feel Betrayed? Les Leopold, The Labor Institute/Runaway Inequality: An Activist's Guide to Economic Justice. According to economist Thomas Piketty,
The poorest 50 percent of Americans have seen their incomes decline by a full 1 percent since 1978 - even as incomes for the top 10 percent of Americans have jumped by whopping 115 percent and incomes for the top one thousandth of a percent have skyrocketed an astronomic 685 percent.
There is no other way to put it -
we are now living in a new Gilded Age , and our democracy is in serious danger.
So as Americans take to the streets again today to fight back against the Trump agenda - the question needs to be asked: can we defeat Trump without first tackling income inequality?
