In the 1990s, economic instability led to poor wages and increased cost of living. People were not able to feed their families due to inflation. Union membership led to laborers unable to raise any voice.
American companies also started overseas cheap labor for manufacturing and services
Drug menace was also at its peak.
All these factors led to increasing inequality in America.
