What the fuck? I genuinely don't understand where they're trying to go with that. Why would they do anything for any reason other than they think it's the right thing to do?
I'm unsure.. I replied back with the following, however they did not get back to me (I probably wasted my time, whatevs)
"Nope, I actually meant to say wealth transfer. Wage gaps exist in every economic class. There is a wage gap between me (lower class) and the people making middle-class wages. There is nothing wrong with that. "Wealth transfer," in this instance, refers to the bulk of the sales and profits going to the 1%. Despite what people might think, America's economy is ran by small businesses. It's simple math, really.. when small businesses aren't allowed to run, but big corporations are.. what is then transferred? Wealth. And who is it transferred to? Corporations.
As for your other points, I decline. The language is being framed in very astute ways that I disagree with. For the sake of spectators reading this, I will not engage further.
Lastly;
The choices I make are not based on "right" and "wrong"
I guess that answers my concern from before;
I would hope that your opinions are not shaped by the praise you get in your office by the metrics of how far you can push a message or tactfully get your point across.
I know the separation of morality choices vs. career defining decisions. It's easy to get caught up in the feeling that you're in a club tribe and you must push for none other than that sentiment. It's at least a primal trait. Why go against the grain when everyone is on the same page in your workplace? Why ever question anything in an environment like that, right? Just play ball. Especially if there is a practical guarantee that all your coworkers will stay employed by the same dully-elected officials year after year. Hard choices to be made in this environment are most definitely based on political tactics rather than morality for the populace.
I would also like to add that it's interesting you brought up the year 2008 for wealth inequality, given that Democrats were seemingly against corporate America back then, however in 2020 support policy that benefits corporate America the most.
That should be the entire reason anyone does anything. Unless you don't believe in the concepts, you definitionally should always be doing what you think is right.

Why has the platform changed so much?"
All good points and questions, so it's not surprising they didn't respond lol
