However, my point is that those "pennies" could easily have been "dollars" instead at the cost of a fraction of the top of the income distribution, and this graph is celebrating "pennies" for the poor as a victory and masking millions or billions flowing to the wealthiest.
The American Middle Class has the right to be angry about their stagnation, but it's undeniable that the world is better for most people if you compare it to the 90's and early 00's.
