Sorry, no, you "research" doesn't prove anymore than that our economy is based on meritocracy.
Meritocracy, me arse.
Income Disparity is so important a factor in economics that it is taken very seriously.
Except for Rightist Twits who think immense riches are "their due" for having benefited from a warped Upper-income Taxation as well as fudging some markets illegally (ala SubPrime Mess) and bringing down the economy around our ears in a Great Recession that began in 2008 and lasted 5 long years (because the Right in the HofR refused stimulus-spending) until 2014 when the economy finally started creating jobs again ...
PS: Piketty is an ultra-liberal looney, who is generally laughed at in mainstream economics.
Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names can never hurt anyone.
Of course, Picketty is a French socialist. No wonder you hate him.
He's also one helluva lot smarter than you are. He runs France's major Economics School.
But, that's irrelevant ... isn't it?
