Fact: the steep decline in union membership in this country is directly correlated to the decline of the middle class and the huge increase in income disparity.  As the rich get more, and they have to an alarming rate, the rest of us get less.  Fact: 17 of Trump's top cabinet an other picks have a combined wealth greater than the bottom 43 million Americans.  To assume that these people will do anything to help those who have less is a leap of faith I'm not stupid enough to make.  Income inequality should have been the issue in the past election, as Bernie Sanders tried to make it, but sadly it was about emails, racism, and pussy grabbing.  Unless people wake up to the fact that they're getting screwed, and that the system is rigged against them by the rich who can purchase access and control the media, it will only get worse.  It's not the minorities, Muslims, immigrants and others who are taking from you, it's the rich.
