That was the crux of the argument (which I understood) even though you blathered on about other irrelevent stuff.

This is where you are wrong. What I posted and what Sebby posted totally showed this assertion about the consensus to be in error. The statement is totally absurd because the term "income inequality is increasing" is too vague in itself to even have a consensus form around it.
