'This growing inequality isn't inevitable—it is a result of policy choices to reduce worker power.' —EconomicPolicy

The EPI experts noted that"the share of earnings at the very top—the top 0.1% of wage earners—is driving the rising earnings share of the top 1%."

We sue Cadillac for car deaths, Budweiser for DUI deaths and Democrats for the 100,000 fentanyl deaths in the last year. And, how about NY crime rate and the catch and release policy also? Does any of this contribute to gun violence? Or is it just gun manufacturers only?
