Income inequality seems inevitable in a capitalist society. I do agree it is a problem. It is also the hand us younger people have been dealt.
Inflation-adjusted wages, education, tax reform (estate tax, capital gains) are some of the changes I think would help society as a whole. Still, there are many more factors.
Laziness, stupidity, lack of skills for example contribute to why someone would be ok with making a bare minimum living.
The cool thing about America is IT IS possible to climb your way into a higher class. You DON'T HAVE to be ok with your greedy boss wanting to pay you 7.25. Make yourself NEEDED by the company and see if they'll pay you more to stay. In this country you have to develop a hustle to live. I hate people who aren't generous at all to their employees but the truth is that's become the norm. Greed doesn't exist only in the 1% it exists in the 100%.
Also as a Finance major I have to admit the finance sector really does not give 1 shit about the average person. Remember: if you're stealing a little bit you're a thief. If you're stealing a lot you're a hero.
Ultimately income inequality is a fault of the system, the people, the government, and the other 1,000,000 factors that contributed to the sequence of events that has brought us here.
I don't know what the solution is. Personally I think there is TONS of money out there. You as the individual have to take it upon yourself to get your little slice of the giant pie.
