It is funny they do not realize it is because of the welfare state that the gap is widening. 5 generations of people leeching the system with no motivation to get off the system will enlarge that gap and that gap will be greater the more people get on welfare and the more that never pay a dime into the tax system and just take take take.
Then that transfer of wealth to the bottom causes everyday items to inflate in price causing the middle class to shrink and the rich to grow. But simple understand of economics is needed to grasp that.
