Too focused on relative income distribution, not enough on standards of living.

Americans live in bigger houses with fewer people living in them, they own smart phones, cars, huge TVs, appliances, HVAC, video games, plenty of clothes. They get their goods delivered straight to their door, they have their food grown and prepared for them. This is an accurate description of lower class Americans.

While income inequality is real and worsening, I'm still not seeing evidence that this leads to bad outcomes.
