1.) Laws which allowed employers to give benefits only to those who work more than 30 hours a week created an economy where most people work less than 30 hours a week. This is a really simple change which can be made almost overnight - yet you'll never hear about this from Trump.
Automation has occurred at the same pace in German and Australia, yet neither country has developed the huge income and wealth inequality the United States developed after Reagan reduced income taxes on top incomes by 2/3. This income and wealth inequality has nothing to do with robots, automation, or lower wages in China, Mexico, Vietnam or Pakistan.

Laws which require benefits for part-time workers would create full-time jobs, and raising income tax rate back to where they are in Germany and Australia would eliminate the income and wealth inequality and increase economic growth, just as Reagan's policies slowed economic growth.
