This means nothing. The gap between the wealthiest and the rest, in other words, the tip of the peak, is constantly rising.
If you pretended everyone who’s poor didn’t exist, and did the calculation with just the middle class and up, the statement about the wealth gap would still be true.

Just because it doesn’t mean what you think they’re saying doesn’t mean it means nothing.
That disparity is not a benign thing, even with a more robust “middle class”.
