Economic inequality will always be with us. IOW, there will never be economic - meaning $$ - equality.

What we can get done is political equality. One man one vote type of equality. At present, the richest control an unequal share of votes. Money now has more political power than masses of people.

The first and most obvious step to remedy that is a Move to Amend the Constitution, limiting the Supreme Court from ever again handing political power to the richest.
