I'm not going to claim to have all the answers, but I would say the corruption and influence of money in politics is the first thing to stop. Get rid of corruption and tolerance of money in politics, then policies to address inequality could have a chance. Fail to deal with corruption or money in politics and taking out the guillotines won't fix things. How to do that starting from where we are? I'm not sure. Maybe via an anti-Trump kind of character, riding a wave of populism into office but with a sincere drive towards a society of well-distributed benefit and a hated of corruption. 🤷‍♂️

Who got to decide that money influences politics? Eliminate those people to achieve your step one. You can’t just campaign against them, you can’t afford that.

Who got to decide? The corrupt politicians, also in a US context it would be the justices that voted in support of Citizens United, and the people behind the Citizens United organization. It's a weird question to ask though, as if somebody just decided political corruption would be a thing.
