    I think it happened well before Reagan. The gap between productivity and earnings starts around 1971.

      The play by the owners started well before Reagan. Reagan codified it into law in perpetuity, institutionalized funneling all the money to the owners under the lie of “efficient distribution,” got his “opposition” to take the bribe money en masse, our modern neoliberals, and basically got America to cheer for their own destruction in the decades to follow with his intentionally divisive and manipulative narrative.

      Until Trump, Reagan was still the Republican mascot long after his death, that even Democrats claimed reverence for.
