First, I never said that X causes Y. . .what I did say is that there is a striking incongruency between the "increase in wealth" of the most wealthy 1% (275%) and increase in health in the least wealthy quintile (18%).Second, if you think that I am "shifting the burden of proof," what do you think YOU are doing? You are asking me to prove something I am not even stating. . .but YOU cannot prove that that CORRELATION is not a CAUSE AND EFFECT relationship. . .YOU are the one trying to show that "there is no evidence that the huge increase in wealth among the top 1% is not related to the amazingly low progress in wealth in the bottom 20% and even in the bottom 80%" What evidence can YOU provide for YOUR theory? You are saying that "it is false because there is no proof that it is true!" YOU are using "NEGATIVE PROOF!"Just look at statistics. . .they speak for themselves. And I bet you're not in those people whose wealth has increased by 275%!. . .so you should have that PROOF in your own life!
