I never said that.Do you think it was better in the early 20th century when the Vanderbilts, Rockefellers, Carnages, Morgans, Guggenheims, and Fords held the majority of all wealth in the world?
A bit of Google-fu found these pages
GINI index in USA, 1960-2020: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SIPOVGINIUSA
Income of top 1%, 1913 to 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Divergence_(inequality)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Income_inequality_in_the_United_States --
"Income inequality has fluctuated considerably since measurements began around 1915, declining between peaks in the 1920s and 2007 (CBO data[2]) or 2012 (Piketty, Saez, Zucman data[15]). Inequality steadily increased from around 1979 to 2007, with a small reduction through 2016,[2][16][17] followed by an increase from 2016 to 2018"
Page above also includes causes, like decline of labor unions:

So we both are right depending on the timeframe.
IOW, income inequality in USA now similar as it was during 1920s, during Rockefellers. Happy now?
