From my limited perspective, that things are getting worse for the masses while getting better for those at the top is both vibes-based and statistically correct.
The political effects of a high Gini coefficient are known.
It's like avoiding 'de-fund the police' in favor of 'defenestrate the bad apples'.
Then it becomes an issue of how many bad apples exist. And it harks back to how Obama and Biden administered deportation policy in a far more sane and frankly American way.
