Larew: People in the lowest income quintile had a much higher percentage increase in average income over the last ten years than did those in the highest quintile  So their economic prosperity increased relative to the highest quintile' s  Mendota: I disagree
The average income for the lowest quintile may have increased by a greater percentage, but the absolute amount of the increase in average income was surely greater for the highest quintile
changes in the average income of people in the lowest quintile should ever be compared to changes in the average income of people in the highest quintile
