This chart summarizes the economic history of the US workers since the Republican tax cuts for the rich, showing how it began giving all new economic growth in the rich for decades now, causing our record inequality.

So it has nothing to do with the global economy, technological advances etc. it's simply a matter of tax cuts?

I am not a republican but you are ignoring that this gap started with the enactment of the earned income tax credit and has been widening as that program has expanded and more credits have been piled onto the heap that remove wage pressures by shifting the costs onto the government. It isn't simply a tax cut phenomenon. The democrats have been 100% on-board subsidizing wages, and it why union membership has significantly declined--no need to join a union when the democrats are there to make you more comfortably poor.

So based on the subject heading and responses in this thread the Democratic belief is if we kept taxes at WWII level we would have had the same economic success we've had over the past 70 years but there wouldn't be the inequality we have today regardless of geo-politics, automation and globalization.
It calls for the "Are you serious Clark?" gif.
