But that trend has been stopped in its tracks, the working class is back to falling behind again.

I no longer think you can tweak things here or there to create economic conditions for the working class to catch back up, I think it will take radical moves to get us back to have a healthy middle class in this country. And things are going to get a lot worse before there's the will to do anything radical. Trump and his band of evil billionaires want it all for themselves and they're coming for everything working people have.
