The majority are a lot poorer and the rich have gotten a LOT richer. We've seen what happens before when we don't redistribute opportunity effectively haven't we.

EDIT: Seriously the down voting! Here are some resources for you to think about:

I suggest the rise of populism is caused by increases in wealth going to the very richest while in real terms the majority of people are poorer than ever.
