The statement below......one that you made in your post to me........reflects that attitude:

"Yes they are getting richer faster. But as long as every group is getting richer that's hardly a major problem."

Neither that statement, not to my knowledge any other statement I have made in any context, reflects, implies, supports, accepts, or argues for a "let them eat cake" attitude.


That may not be your intent but that's the consequence of the position you are taking. Its not okay that the rich are getting richer 3, 4 or 5 times faster than the poor for all sorts of reasons. The fact that you ignore those reasons and continue to maintain your stance clearly gives others the impression you could give a damn........and I think that is very true.

By your own omission, the lowest quintile is not even mentioned by Reynolds/Henderson

False.

"By your own omission" doesn't make a lot of sense. I assume you mean "by your own admission". If that's what you mean, I make no such "admission" mainly because there is nothing to admit. It isn't true.


Sorry. By your own admission, the lowest quintile was ignored by Reynolds/Henderson.
