ManusJustus,
Let me ask you this. If this was the state of the world today vs 50 years ago:
50 years ago, a poor man could afford 5 sets of clothes, but today can afford 7.
50 years ago, a poor man could afford 2 meals a day, and today he can afford 3.
would you then say a poor man today is richer then a poor man 5 years ago?
The poor are getting richer... just not at as fast a rate as the rich. But like Kaz pointed out, while the rich are getting richer, it's not the same people. So the rich are not getting richer. people who never were rich, are getting richer.
