The rich are getting richer, that is without doubt.
Good , what is the better alternative? An ebbing tide that lowers all boats? The better prepared do better in good times , but this is a good thing , it helps bring the good times about.
There IS a finite pie chart of America's wealth.
This is the central error of your thesis , try to support it with something.
Did you even look at the article I linked? Whether the average middle class family is wealthier that the average middle class family in 1960 is moot.
Why is this moot? Is not a long term trend for everyone getting more wealthy a good thing to try to keep going?
In relation to the top ten percent who control the most of America's wealth, the average middle class family has not risen in wealth comparable to the average top ten percenter.
True , but not a bad thing at all , since the rise is not proportional there can be jelosy but that there is a rise at all is the good thing. Think of the alternative.
And the POOR have definitely gotten poorer.
Definately not true at all, I look forward to your attempt to support this .
