(17,388 posts)over the past 40 years. They already have it and it is now assets, not income. A balance wealth distribution can never be recovered or restored by more progressive or even aggressively progressive income taxes alone. So, yeah, they have won the war and are still squeezing every stone for all the wealth they can amass.
That's why we need people like AOC, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren. Anyone who doesn't recognize this is either: ignorant and too young to know the difference (having never experienced anything different), comfortable and therefore complacent (i.e., not unhappy with the present economic structure), indoctrinated by and with neoliberal bull-pucky, simply selfish/greedy, sociopathically greedy, or an Ayn Rand'er. Unfortunately, some of these still call themselves Democrats in my view.
