You can't make substantial gains in income inequality without making big changes in our trade policies.
We continue to run huge trade deficits , especially with China.

(3,457 posts)The only way you can get companies to give equity away is to ensure that the execs are able to enrich themselves tenfold in the process.
Just like the 401Ks were touted as a way for the average worker to manage their retirement funds and were actually most beneficial to top executives while freeing companies of any pension obligations--
High income employees receive the majority of the tax benefits of 401(k)s, according to a new Government Accountability Office report. The analysis found that 401(k) tax benefits accrue primarily to highly paid employees and do relatively little to help lower income workers save for retirement.
Only about half of the private sector workforce has access to any type of retirement benefits at work, with low income workers being the least likely to be offered the opportunity to participate.
