I'm unfortunately getting too old to be of any help, but I firmly believe that you guys are going to have to start taking things back, by force, if you want to stop this insane wealth gap.
Shit, I'm barely under 50 and I remember multiple attempts we tried: Occupational safety in the 70s; Jimmy Carter's Labor Reform; Expanding women's right to work anywhere 70s/80s; Family Medical Leave Act and Americans with Disabilities Act were all in my lifetime.
While those all are not directly related to income inequalities, they're still relevant as rights the rich solely had, but didn't want to share en-masse.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”
FACT: There is no current nor past society with income equality.
Perhaps it's time to quit trying the same ways of fighting for equality the exact same ways we have been for the past 9,000 years and try something different.
You ain't gotta go back 9,000 years to find we fought for equality differently.
Just 240 years ago we made the great leap to the guillotine because we got tired of the old way - an axe.
