"Wrong dumdum. As the rich got richer, everyone else got poorer."
Not according to the economists.
According to them everyone got richer, but some got rich at a higher marginal rate than others.
The whole "rich get richer, poor get poorer" narrative is a vestigial Marxian myth. Something people cling to as a potential explanation as to why they are not as successful as others. "It's the billionaires fault!"
But you would know that if you even went so far as to Google it.
