Thanks for reporting on the massive transfer of wealth from working people to the 1%. As shown, this has been happening in earnest for the last 40 years. Unfortunately, the author attributes this using very passive language. Incredibly, no discussion of any agency in making these changes. I recommend reading the Powell memorandum as a starting point.

So, thanks for reporting on the class war, at least a little. But please spend some time on who did what to get here. I think we would all find this illuminating.
