The rate is massive at this point, considering how long it has been going on, especially due to imperierialism. You're referring to the labor aristocracy exclusively when you say 13,000 isn't life changing.
I said it is life changing and rate is not the same thing as extent.
The picture is closer to the truth when you factor in imperialism, and the actual wealth gap.
