It's possible for the rising tide to lift all boats, while not helping those still on shore. Sometimes, the needs of the many, at least in their own minds, will outweigh the needs of the few, and it always sucks to be a minority.

Also, statistics the art of comparing apples to oranges depending on whether you need votes in Washington State or Florida. Evidenced-based policy-making is picking the preconceived notion of what outcome is desirable, and arranging the measures and policies favorably.

Throw in a dash of Campbell's Law, and draw attention to the drop in new unemployment claims.
