Of course economies grow (and shrink). Which has what exactly to do with anything I posted? Or are you suggesting that all the government's own statistics are lying and that wealth is actually filtering down to the bottom of the pile?
And get something else through your head. Until Maggie Thatcher and Ronald Reagan came along, the traditional "right-wing" position on both sides of the Atlantic did not support an ever-growing division between rich and poor: some degree of self-control was recognized as the best way for capitalism to sustain itself. That was not and is not a hippie/communist concept, just common sense.
