I don't think these two things have to be mutually exclusive. Much of the retirement savings people do have is invested in the stock market. I created tons of wealth for Americans, it's just not distributed fairly. I'd like to see more Americans represented by unions. Unfortunately, the recent Supreme Court decision will make that much more difficult. Germany strikes me as good example of letting people share in the economic growth of their country. Some businesses are employee owned, many are unionized, and union reps make up some of the board members on public companies. That kind of thing is almost unthinkable in the U.S. but it benefits the average person greatly.
