So loosely I’m getting that we put a lot of things in place after the Great Depression to take care of our populace, and then spent the rest of time trying to dismantle it, which led us to citizens united and here with a lot of rich people trying to stay rich, what do you think?

In sum, yes. It's pretty old starting in the late '60s with business trying to dismantle the post-war consensus economy. A lot of propaganda. There are many parts to this. Politically the Powell Memorandum was a key part.
