So in other words, the middle 60 went up 20 percent, the bottom 20 went up 35, and the top went up 50 percent.
Which makes my point - the current structure hoses the middle class.

Hardly. Don't you think there is a significantly larger population in the middle 60% than in the bottom or top quintiles? Moving that many people (60%) the same percentage as one quintile (20%) might prove just a little bit harder, don't you think? Bottom line, the middle class is doing just fine despite all the hand wringing.
