Pretty sure the gap between rich and poor is getting wider. Definitely in developed countries, but probably worldwide as well. The top 1% own 35% of the wealth, and this is only increasing.
If your lifestyle is being taken down a few notches, the problem isn't that the dirt poor people are earning a few more dollars each day, it's that most of the extra wealth that's being created is going to the people who already own everything.
