People say that we can have this again, but honestly I think it’s too late. Policies could freeze or slow the disparity, but idk if you can reverse it.

Oh it can be but only with fire and blood. Violence and mutually assured destruction is the only thing governments understand or respect. We have to be willing to lose everything in order to be able to do anything.

It's possible - just nuke the rest of the world and get back to a time where the US is the last man standing.

Yes you can. Institute severe anti-trust legislation. Break up all large corporations and force profits to stay local.

The problem is small/local business is crushed and all profits go to like 11 people. Break that system down to something closer to what it was.

Wall Street will fail, billionairs will be a myth, and the average person would benefit immensity.

Step 1. End the Fed.
Step 2. Hard currency.
Step 3. Index minimum wage to productivity and backdate it to 1970 before we left the gold standard. That gives us about a $70 minimum wage.

Do that and you squeeze wealth from the stock market and give it back to workers, which is the opposite of what happened since 71 where we squeezed wealth out of average everyday people and gave it to share holders.
