CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

It's all been nothing more than a shell game and a large amount of psychological warfare. Now you see it, now you don't. That's where the American Dream went. Straight out of our minds right into their pockets. And here we are 75 years later realizing that the Oligarchs have possession of all the people's money.

Every time someone caught on to their trick and complained about it, they would look down their self-righteous noses with the "Class Warfare" claim. Every. Single. Time. Well, little people, we know who was playing Class Warfare on who, don't we?

What we need to do is figure out what they took from us and take it back. Balance the books, so-to-speak. I say a good year to go back to would be 1973. IMHO, i.e. Robert Reich helps us see thru the fog of our war.

9. Welcome the predatory overlords!

In 2013 the Swiss voted on a referendum that would have capped executive pay at 12 times that of the lowest paid worker in the company. The referendum failed after moneyed interests worked against it. I suspect the world would look much different today if that would have been made the law when slavery was abolished.
