Brooke is the winner!
And wages are not growing at these inflation rates thus the lower quintile are not keeping up, actually almost all income brackets are not keeping up. All of this is driven by the insane Fed policies designed by John Maynard Keynes in the 1930's. Our current policies, QE of $85 billion a month are actually driving income inequality much higher, and inflation, while wages are sticky and not keeping up. If you own lots of wealth in stock you are a happy person (for the time being) and your wealth is bloating like the Fed is bloating the stock market. In time, that fake wealth will pop too.
