And after?
And beyond, until we reach a breaking point which restarts the economy. But it will happen naturally, with the collapse of capitalism. And if you try to break capitalism intentionally in the 2020's, you will find yourself breaking the American economy as well.
Not if you make the middle-class powerful again
Making it powerful isn't enough. You need to make it WAY more powerful than the upper class.
Which is possible
How is it possible, then?
Not even "possible", that implies chance. It is 100% doable.

There are a plethora of things which we need to fixed. But for a start
Reduce or Ban corporate influence in politics
Ban funding for elections - all funding is public (like nations in the EU, each party gets a certain amount of money from the government to campaign)
Banning corporate influence in politics will lead into some, if not most, corporations leaving the country. Not to mention that today, the corporations rule the politics of China, the USA, and many other nations.
Do continue.
There is no evidence that banning corporate influence in politics will lead to most corporations leaving the country
Increase the Federal Minimum Wage to match inflation and buying power. Force price restrictions to ensure companies do not raise prices in response. Any company that attempts to raise prices is threatened with nationalization.
I'm not aware of the existence of such evidence indeed, yet I think you'd agree on the fact that you don't always need evidence.
Program to put every single homeless and unemployed able-bodied man to work by working with the private sector and implementation of monumental public workers programs such as the expansion of the interstates, new hydroelectric dams, revamping all infrastructure
So basically you're keeping the free market, but also restrict the corporations (some if not most will leave), and then somehow force all people who are able to work, to the private sector (some of which will most probably be damaged by your previous implementations), and you also assume that you have enough money to spend to the infrastructure.
There is no evidence some or most will leave.
And i do not see how any such claims can be regarded as self-evident.
> I'm not aware of the existence of such evidence indeed, yet I think you'd agree on the fact that you don't always need evidence.
I also explained why they would leave. Most would migrate to China, I guess, a country in which their revenues will increase by more than 500%, if you implement these measures.
Invest heavily into AI and AI Models to predict which industries are needed the most, as the private sector already utilizes AI to predict supply and demand, more advanced AI can act as a de facto economy planner
In China the government has de facto complete control over industry, and they have something 1950's america had
Patriotic and loyal buisness owners
They are loyal because they have money.
Not really
They are loyal because if they disobey they are killed
Literally.
Yeah really. And China heavily depends on foreign businesses as well, which have no reason to be patriotic towards China.
China doesent heavily depend on fb's anymore. And increasingly is more and more indpendenant
Oh, so are you planning to kill the disobeying ones too or?
No commnet
china is like
the worst though
Sure, it is getting more and more independent, but it's still heavily dependant on foreign businesses. Should China stand on its own as it currently is, the poor would die first, then the lower middle class, and the current middle class would become terribly poor.
True.
So would most of the world economy for that matter
Yes, because it's all dependant on foreign relations and multinational corporations.
The world fucked itself in the ass following the 50's
Middle Class conditions have never been as good as the 50's
