There are a lot of reasons, but no small part of it is the fact that the working class is disproportionately black and Hispanic.

"Working class" is a term currently being used by activists and politicians to push policy aimed at the middle class while pretending like they give a shit about poor people.

The Cold War.

We are foolish and are still fighting the Cold War a good 30 years after it was over.

The Cold War.
Well that's not true. This country was killing its working class (and I mean that literally) well before then

without farms you guys would have no food and without construction workers you have no roads/homes. I don't get why media tries to get every day people to hate working people so much.

Ya, but we revved up our game since The Cold War...
Before then it was the lower classes that got fucked.
Not it is the middle classes.
To the point that almost no one sees it.
~I know a lot do, but as a society, most people are on board.

That GDP game was a killer.

Some good responses in this topic.

What would it take for us to actively push towards better conditions/pay for our workers?

Other than getting rid of the GOP, of course.
