Economy growing at 3-5% in the US. Rich people's wealth growing at a far higher rate. Which means the middle class wealth is getting siphoned to the rich. The middle class is getting poorer and we can all see that.

Which is exactly the same as "my wealth was constant and my neighbor's grew"
Which is exactly the same as "my neighbor's the same and my wealth decreased"

Money have no intrinsic value: its only value is relative the others (and also depends on what can be bought ..)
Or the wealthy are pulling up the average and most of the rest are not “growing the economy” with increased productivity.

No, that logic doesn't follow. Say my wealth grew by 3% and my neighbor's grew by 5%. That doesn't imply any sort of "siphoning" at play.
