Agree with you, real wages have stagnated, and so have real prices.

However, one thing that bothers me, and that I'd like to know, is what does it mean to "eat the rich"? "Eat" in what sense? Destroy? Take all their money? Because why are people so angry, that someone else is doing better than them? Is it some form of jealousy? Idk. What people should be looking at, IMO, is how they themself are doing. Are they doing ok? If not, then we have a problem. But why do they care whether somebody else has a lot of money? I seriously don't get it.
