  • Is inequality back as a political issue? Senator Bernie Sanders seems to think so. He is leading a "Fighting Oligarchy" tour that has drawn thousands of people.

The article "The Polls and Politics of Inequality" by Bowman Marsico, published on Forbes on March 18, 2025, discusses the growing public concern over economic inequality in the United States. It highlights recent polls indicating that a significant majority of Americans believe that the economic system unfairly favors the wealthy, exacerbating the divide between the rich and the poor. The piece explores how this perception influences political landscapes, with both Democrats and Republicans addressing inequality in their platforms, albeit with different solutions. Democrats push for policies like higher taxes on the rich and increased social welfare, while Republicans focus on economic growth and deregulation to lift all boats. The article also notes the increasing polarization on this issue, with public opinion split on the effectiveness of government intervention versus market-driven solutions. Additionally, it touches on the role of media in shaping these perceptions and the potential impact of these sentiments on upcoming elections.
