Since I think we've beat the other dead horse enough I will skip to your questions.

<<Moving a bit back from that specific point, if "policy X", increases the real wealth and/or income of the richest 1%, and has absolutely no effect on the rest of the country, would you support "policy X"?>>

I don't believe this is possible. You'd have to give me a scenario that I considered somewhat possible for me to answer this question.

<<A related question would be is economic inequality or poverty a bigger concern for you.>>

Both but if I had to choose, poverty.

<<Another related question - Would you give up economic growth in order to increase economic equality?>>

Absolutely.
