I can understand that the word "undeniable" psychologically evokes resistance because it has an air of zealotry, but I do not think it is deceitful. Probably a poor choice of words on my part. As far as I know, if you look at the richest one percent of the population, their wealth relative to the total has been increasing, while it has been decreasing for the poorest. At least I have not seen statistics supporting the contrary, hence my choice of words. See for example [1] (unfortunately it does not say whether it is before or after taxes). You can argue about details of the methodology (for instance the many problems of the Gini coefficient), but I think it is fair to say that the trend is there. By the way, don't you think that "partisans" is a bit tendentious?
