the income of the upper 1-20% is gaining at a faster rate than the incomes of the lower classes at the expense

Probably true.

at the expense of the lower classes

Not true. In fact quite the opposite. Cut out the actions of the wealthiest and the poor and middle class will suffer. Their wealth gain isn't at the expense of less wealthy people but rather serves to benefit less wealthy people.

You have absolutely no proof of that premise. Sure Paris Hilton spends money, but if that money were distributed among the poor it would still be spent. The Paris Hiltons of the world generate few jobs; its corporations that are the job engines.
