Rich people are already getting richer. So far it has fixed nothing.

Nor will it ever fix anything, except maybe cause a revolt of the serfs.
Dems need to get their shyte together on this issue. So far, save for a few dissenting voices, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Clinton has promised to "go where the money is" and increase taxes on the wealthy. When the likely next president of the United States is among the dissenting voices it bodes well for the future.
Yes, I am aware of her Wall Street ties and raising taxes, especially on the wealthy, is a difficult goal in an age where the wealthy have more and more control of legislation concerning the hoarding of their wealth.
Trump's promise to cut taxes and reduce revenue while implementing horribly expensive programs concerning immigration and huge investments in the military while hoping that somehow the wealthy will suddenly be inspired to raise wages, create more jobs and invest more deeply rather than to simply hoard even more wealth seems far pretty far fetched.
