Well that is a bit difficult to reconcile with the fact that the differential between average wages and CEO wages has never in history been as high as it is now, not to mention that the rich now own a higher percentage of the USA's net assets than they ever have before- which, ipso facto, means the other 90-95% own less.
Your reasoning may have had some logical basis back in the days when Reagan was campaigning to be President Jet, but things have changed an awful lot since then. One thing that hasn't changed however is that the average Real wage of a US blue collar worker has basically remained static for the last 30 years.
