I just want to point out nationalization/existing public services also increase inequality in quite similar ways. 1. Traffic fines are still public. Still regressive. 2. Social Security is still public and still has a cap on taxes for > 6 figure incomes. 3. Wage cuts (granted I think this gets worse when privatized) and benefits cuts are dealt to public employees all the time. Look at the many underfunded local pensions/city budgets and how they've chosen to respond. 4. Private interests into parks and charters schools etc. This also happens to be an opportunity to give extra attention to the needs of poor individuals and families, and people of color. There is a debate ongoing, but many charter schools in poor neighborhoods have better funding/facilities than a would-be public school there. This is not close to perfect or a panacea, but it has potential, attacking charter schools without nuanced research is imprudent. This is a controversial topic. I am not taking sides. There are many complex/taboo issues and few working solutions so far. Glad it is being discussed.
