Yeah, that’s my point. It’s not the income that’s as much of a problem as the leadership.
You need leaders willing to spend money on workers instead of owners.

Shifting the tax burden from the working class to the wealthy reduces the ability of the wealthy to influence politics—that’s how you get leaders willing to prioritize workers over owners.
