We get social concessions with increased economic inequality, as one can easily see, and that is very bad for the USA. The former class and ethnic/racial hierarchy is replaced with a simple winner-take-all economic class system, Hobbesian to the core.

We need both, economic and social progressivism, only that will pull us out of the swamp we are in.
