Nice link. I've noticed those are the kind of stats that are missing when people talk about how the wealthiest Americans are earning so much more...

Weathiest 400 Americans:
"Their share of the nation's income has doubled since 1995. And the tax bill of our happy gazillionaires? Well, it's fallen by almost half in that same period, from 30 to 18 percent."

There will always be a middle class due to the Bell curve. Any way you care to measure however, inequality (the difference between two opposite points on the distribution curve) is growing in many countries. In the US it has been growing by leaps and bounds.
It doesn't matter so much if everyone is becoming wealthier. Human psychology is such that relative wealth is incredibly important to us.
Very good discussion of these trends here:
