2. It is a moral crisis...among other things.
Great wealth creates massive inequities, and the US was founded on such inquities.

The income tax act has been massaged and manipulated until it now favours only the very, very rich. The movement of the common good away from the labourer to the capital owners has taken the world back to empire. This has been aided by the privatization of the Federal Reserve, and the movement of power into the corporate élite.

Yes, everyone here knows this. So why hasn't the situtation been fixed?

Because the money supply and the cost of housing now act as a check on the aspirations of labour, that's why.
