Adjusted for inflation, hourly wages had the same purchasing power
in 2018 as in 1978. In the same time period the top 1 percent's wealth has skyrocketed, particularly the top .1 percent. I hate the liberal media and have come to the conclusion that this is a problem based on facts. Again, I am not advocating socialism but we need to at least recognize that the level of income inequality that we have is a problem. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us-workers-real-wages-have-barely-budged-for-decades/
