AP US Government
Unit 4 – American Political Ideologies and Beliefs
Topic 4.3
What might have happened if populist movements like Occupy Wall Street hadn't influenced public discourse over income inequality?
The economy would have collapsed without such grassroots activism drawing attention to fiscal imbalances present within societal structure.
There would be no changes in corporate taxation or regulations whatsoever due to lack of public pressure exerted through such movements.
Public concern about wealth disparity could be lesser with potential implications for associated public policies being implemented or considered seriously across governmental levels.
Income inequality might have been solved by now without populist movements drawing attention to the issue and inadvertently preventing more effective solutions from being pursued.
