For starters we can reinstate the Glass-Steagall act. We can also get dark money out of politics, get rid of corporate PACs and pay close attention to corporations who are donating money to certain politicians. Definitely don't have all the answers, I just see something in society that could surmount to some issues going forth.
And who will enact all of those things with both groups benefitting from not doing it? We'd sooner have term limits enacted. I have no faith in any politician. To me the less they do the better.
College, as structured in America, is another element of the middle class trap. Too many poor kids shell themselves thousands of dollars in loans studying worthless courses cause mommy and daddy told them to. Then they graduate, only to find that they have no good jobs lined up. So they are stuck having to wage-slave away in crummy jobs, anchored with a debt that increases on interest.
Even with high salary professions, that's even more years of school and debt to pay off. It wasn't too long ago that AOC herself made a student debt payment during the congressional hearing - and she has a $200k+ salary.
Just look at all the big CEOs and billionaires discussed in this thread - quite a few of them even dropped out of high school, topless of college. Because they took the opportunities as they presented themselves, rather than become cogs in the system.
That much wealth concentrated in 1% is an unhealthy situation, they are capable of having their way with dark money going to politicians. A healthy middle class is key to any democratic society, this type of tilt in the system is dangerous.

Easy. Don’t go to college.
I can give you a long list of billionaires who didn’t go to college.
Plenty of people have indicated the same, do you remember the robber barrons.
Do you have any idea how many lobbyists there are, more lobbyists than government legislators and staffs. We don’t even low where the money is coming from most of the time. Do you like Soros and Koch running your government, does that look like democracy.

I don’t remember robber barons. Just because someone people are good at accumulating money, it doesn’t make them robber barons.
Michael Jordan was good at playing basketball. Does that make him a bad person?
