People would realise the disparity is even worse if they'd stop thinking in percentages.
If someone earning £30,000 10 yrs ago saw their annual income increase 10%, it would be £33,000 now... just £3,000 more.
But if a CEO was earning £300,000 & only saw an equivalent 10% increase, they'd now receive £330, 000. An extra £30,000 - a £27,000 larger increase than the person on £30,000.
And the wealthy have seen larger percentage increases than the poor.
