I understand your point
im trying but I’m not following you...sorry.
It may be semantics but you cant shrink the gap....you can only increase the money at the low end. To shrink the gap the people at the top have to come down materially and the people at the bottom have to come up some insane order of magnitude (the math just doesnt work). I think if you come up with a livable wage and accept that the ultra wealthy are going to be ultra wealthy you have a better chance of making change. No one is going to take less so some else can have more if they have the power to control IF they take less. But If you have ideas that work, I would vote for you....but i just haven’t heard any. I hate the thought of socialism but Bernie had the best plan or Andrew Yang for the working man...and neither got any support from the left. Biden is trump lite when it comes to economic plans for the low middle class. The only area where they Truly differ is how they treat the wealthy....but even that is a shell game.
I don't what else to say but you're wrong. Again, it's not theory. It's been studied and demonstrated. We know exactly why the wealth gap exists. Hell, a school in London just released a study showing that adherence to trickle down economics increases the gap. When you reverse those policies, the dynamics change. The wealthy will have to give up some of what they have, but they are so ridiculously wealthy it doesn't matter.
Think about this. If you took a billion dollars from Besos, he wouldn't experience any difference in his life at all. You could take that billion and give a 100K to ten thousand families and with proper planning and with proper management potentially taking all of them from poverty to middle class. Now if course we'd never do anything that direct, but that's essentially what policy change would accomplish on a large scale over an extended period.
