The wealthiest Americans don’t care about inequality, and our presidential candidates are following their lead.
That’s not to say they aren’t talking about inequality. They are, for anyone who will listen. As Noam Scheiber notes for the New York Times, Sens. Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Marco Rubio broached the issue in January, while Hillary Clinton discussed it at the Center for American Progress last week.

The best way to rise above one’s circumstances is a good education and training for a career. But even with that, there is no guarantee.
Another ‘gimme’ program is not going to accomplish any more than the current ‘gimme’ programs.

Remember about that 40 acres and a mule? That is more that I got. But, most of those who got that 40 acres ended up losing it to shysters and con-men. Whose fault is that?
Our politicians use pareto analysis when gathering funds and then dishing out services.

Equality means, people get paid based on what they do is worth. IOW, be careful what you wish for, you racist overpaid media a-hole.
