I agree with all that, but doesn't that mostly argue for shifting the bottom up, rather the pulling the top down? What I see is people using the word "inequality", but then talking about poverty. Poverty is bad. But I don't really understand why the ratio of the top to the bottom is the important number, rather than the absolute value of the bottom.
