He kicked off the Second Gilded Age by instituting the basic economic policy that the U.S. has operated under ever since. Even mainstream Democrats aren't nearly as far left economically as
Republicans
used to be. For example, under Republican president Eisenhower, the corporate tax rate was 52%. By comparison, Biden and Harris proposed raising it to 28% (and the proposal failed).

The rich and their nepo babies hoard more and more of the wealth, which leads to decreased social mobility, wage stagnation as the cost of living rises, and increases in unemployment as these rich ****s move more and more jobs overseas or hire illegal immigrants over American workers to increase their profit margins (naturally, it's the immigrants who are blamed/punished for this, not the billionaires who hire them). Pair this too with private equity buying more and more residential real estate and driving the prices through the roof.
The American dream, as I understand it, was basically the belief that each generation would be more successful than the last. That hasn't really been the case since the boomers.

It's a matter of perspective. People today are moving to the U.S. from third world countries, usually as a matter of convenience since these nations share a land mass with us. There has been no widespread immigration from Europe in many decades, because there is no longer a single country in Western or Central Europe which doesn't have a higher quality of life than the United States. The United States is on the verge of becoming a third-world country with some billionaires.
