Well, relatively speaking, you may be correct about the amount of wealth that there was in America a hundred years ago, then again there really wasn't even much of an America to speak of.
However, The distribution of wealth will never be equal in a free society. Additionally, to simply view "the wealth" as a stagnant amount and to then conclude from that, that some must be taken from one in order for it to be given to another is also false.
One cannot be raised by lowering another. That doesn't work.
