I think I see what your saying. Wealth creation is dilutive on a relative basis, meaning in 2019 the lower/middle class had X% of the total wealth. By “creating” a bunch of new wealth the denominator grows and on a relative basis the middle/lower class becomes less wealthy.

That is both what I meant, and a better method of phrasing it. Thanks!
