That last point about the super rich pulling away from the middle is on point.
I'm pretty convinced that most complaints about inequality aren't coming from the poor, they're coming from the middle class who are jealous about the super wealthy

Calling it "inequality" and trying to measure that accurately, misses the point of what people actually care about.
As, SimpleStacker notes, people are envious of how far above them some people are, and that is growing.
