Regarding wealth inequality, it was the income tax with its high upper marginal rates created our inclusive, extensive middle class as otherwise wealth aggregates as proven by every other civilization that has ever existed or exists that didn't provide for wealth aggregation control. The GOP has been trying to aggregate wealth in the hands of their donors through their tax cuts for the wealthy. We need to get back to the taxes of the 1960s.

I think you mean the 1950s. JFK was the first to slash income tax rates, resulting in both increased revenue and increased growth.
