An issue only becomes political in the US if the two major parties disagree on it, which is to say if different sectors of American big business disagree on it. It's important to remember that there is no major political party in the US that does not represent big business interests, so concerns around income and wealth inequality, poor working conditions and so on do not rise to the level of "political issues" despite almost universal agreement by actual citizens that they are a problem.
