Any economics policy will have winners and losers.

  His gov. was investigated for cooking the books on GDP, but even leaving that aside growth has been mostly flat [0] under his helm, while only stopping the previously rising wealth inequalities [1] So yes, he basically froze who would be the winners and losers for the span of his policy, and low income people didn't feel great about it. I have my gripes yet still think he was a more decent PM than many previous ones. It's really sad it comes down to an assassination in the end.
