I'm not justifying anything, I'm simply stating that income inequality is the result of a lot of people becoming rich. Poor people did not become poorer and incomes did not stagnate if you include benefits. Currently healthcare is more expensive, and a larger percentage of total compensation is given in health benefits. Doesn't matter what your view on the health care issue is, if you're an employer, you spend more on your employees now than before
