He posts "the rich are richer" as if that was somehow a bad thing.

If the rich where not richer than they where in the 20's (and in real terms, so the relative value of the dollar doesn't matter), it would imply that we had 80 years of economic stagnation.

We should all be very happy that the wealthy of today are wealthier than the rich where back when my grandmother was born.
