Hillary was just blaming the growing gap between the rich and the poor just yesterday. Facts truly are inconvenient things for the shysters..
Well TECHNICALLY if the poorest’s income (say 10,000) rises 35% (to 13,500) and the richest guy’s income (say 1,000,000) rises 50% (to 1,500,000) then the gap between their incomes is rising (both in absolute terms and %age-wise).
However in non-crazy land the important thing is that the poor’s income rose 35% and that fewer of them are on welfare. This is just good news!
The whole socialist ideology relies on envy. It’s not that the poor have two TVs and one car, it’s that some other person has 5 HDTVs and three sports cars. How dare they! Of course the elite socialists who would like everyone equally poor allocate to themselves 2 jet aircraft and 6,000 square foot homes, but they’re the anointed.
