Most countries we are discussing are richer now than a few decades ago, yet still have domestic servants.

Those servants will be richer in a few decades but will still be in that situation.

Then I think that terrible labor laws are the main problem, not inequality

The terrible labor laws exist because of the inequality. The people with servants write the laws and, in their magnaminity, don't let the servants vote.

[argentinian]

You are writing about democratic countries. Everyone votes. I sense that you're pointing to a different problem.

[oblio]

Even in democracies, voting can be distorted. Gerrymandering, lobbying, revolving doors, plain old bribes, etc.

[argentinian]

So, corruption is the problem, not inequality.

Corruption is a enabled by inequality.
