> the working class in the US has certainly suffered a regression over the past several decades,

Do you define regression as absolute position or relative position? For example does it matter if Jeff Bezos has 100 Ferraris if the middle class, on average, have .25 more cars per capital than 50 yrs ago?

I would love to put some data behind this discussion because it's long been mixed up as to which case is the ethical one (absolute vs relative growth).
