"This argument is basically a version of the “Well, the poor all have
cell phones!” dismissal. They’ve also got refrigerators and TVs,
therefore, you should just ignore the fact that the wealthiest are
sucking up all our prosperity to fund luxuries and frivolities. We
should just pretend that we’re all getting the benefit of a rising tide,
and never mind that yacht towering above your dinghy."
Some interesting discussion.
