Yes.
The trend isn't where I'd personally like it on that front, but we're obviously not close to the tipping point. I would expand on that thought, but your second line did that better than I could.

I think this is where the disconnect is with a lot of people. If you speak out about income inequality you're labeled a 1%er or Occupy Wall Streeter, and accused of being jealous of the rich. All that most that speak out against it are doing is pointing to some troubling trends in regards to income and wealth growth. I don't think many think it's anywhere close to crisis stage, but to many like myself it is cause for concern. It adds to the argument of out country being a plutocracy.
