Actually not. Read this,
“They didn’t cause the income gap to increase. Given all the talk about Bush’s massive tax cuts for the rich, you might also think that his tax cuts contributed to a widening of the income gap. Except that didn’t happen, either. According to the Census Bureau, the “gini index” of income inequality was the same when Bush left office as when he came in. (It’s actually risen each year under Obama.)”

There was real poverty during the Great Depression. There is no such thing in America today. Help is available for those that need it and clearly less are worse off than back then. It is pure class envy to look at what other’s have and say you are “entitled” to the same. Remember the 10th Commandment, “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”

The concentration of wealth is a problem. And as the Government (at all levels) controls more and more of GDP the problem gets worse. There’s a REAL correlation there.

If we had an environment of honest fair competition the differences would collapse. As we transition to crony capitalism (fascism) it will get worse.
