I mean really connected the progression of how our country got to this place of inequality and backslid from where we were when more people could live off of one income. I know the video is from the last election cycle but this is a great and concise synopsis of the history and how we got to this point economically and politically. So tired of people spouting the trickle down theory. Thanks for all the references and details in the links.
