First, Sharing of GDP:
Then, Division of wealth from 1980 (Reaganomics Era begins 1981):
In 1965 the wealth was mostly in the hands of people who made more money (as expected), but division grew because the lower-income groups did not get the same increases as the top 10% (90th percentile). This chart ends in 2016, but the steady incline shows the rich get richer and the others do NOT.

We can change the economy and how the wealth is distributed. The huge gap between the top 10% (it's even worse between the top 1% and the next 9%) and the rest of the population (90% of the people) can be closed again to some more workable level.
