Since Reagan, Government has aligned itself with Big business. That is the root of the problem. Good luck thinking that Government will deregulate itself from its special interest in providing for the welfare of the corporate state and getting kick backs in return. What kind of kick backs am I referring to? Just look at Obama and Clinton who entered the White House with little money - even I had more than they did. Now they are set for life. And Trump has set tax policy so he will pay less after he leaves office.
I can't really critique any of your ideas or suggestions in and of themselves, outside of saying that they are very idealistic and unrealistic.
Income inequality is the direct result of the stock market having gone parabolic over the last 10 years, with a few blips along the way.

Your deregulation is not happening. Government has shown it's hand over the last 40 years and neither party is buying into what you suggest.
Honestly, I have pretty much had it with the government"s neglect and disrespect for the poor and lower middle income. Sure, in a way, nobody owes anybody anything. But when I see lots of people dying because they cannot afford medical treatment and college education costs skyrocket to the point where most can't afford to pay back their loans, I have had it with the System and need to embrace more humane, more fair policies. I consider Warren and Sander's policies to be better by in large for working class Americans. I don't support everything that comes from Sanders or Warren. In fact, there are things I don't like about some of their policies. But capitalism in its American form has not worked for most Americans. I want real change of the system from supporting corporate/shareholder interest to worker interest. If that makes me a socialist, so be it.
