This is, of course, the complete opposite of the Neo-Liberal prescriptions that have seduced significant elements of the so-called 'left' for the last 20 years.
The fact is that 'we' allowed the global super-rich to screw us, and then we bailed them out when the system that made them rich was in danger of collapsing. They got richer and richer, while we were bought off with the illusion of increasing wealth, when the reality is that we have been getting a declining share of the wealth we actually produce. For years we have been told there was no money for social programs, and that our children had to pay to go to university, while trillions were spent on USA/NATO imperial wars and capitalist banker bailouts, and further trillions were hidden away in largely British-connected tax havens.
We should all be very angry with the Neo-Liberals
