I don't that is neccesarily a zero-sum mentality. It's an observation on how policy and the economy as a whole did NOT benefit the poorer class as much as it did the rich class. The rich making more money should not translate to the poor making less money but increase in economic quality of life should more proportional between rich and poor. The rich making a trillion dollars does not translate into the poor losing a trillion dollars (zero sum). But the wealth of the rich increasing by 300% and the wealth of the poor remaining the same indicates the economic policies and conditions are not benefiting the poor as much as they benefit the rich. Often,the argument is that policies are not fairly applied to allow the poor to maintain an increasingly better economic living conditions.
