No, not the one they voted on at the convention.
The real one:
The gains went largely to the top 1 percent, whose incomes rose to an average of more than $1.1 million each, an increase of more than $139,000, or about 14 percent.
The new data also shows that the top 300,000 Americans collectively enjoyed almost as much income as the bottom 150 million Americans. Per person, the top group received 440 times as much as the average person in the bottom half earned, nearly doubling the gap from 1980.

What I can’t figure out is how we Republicans, only the top 300,000 income takers, have actually managed to outvote you 150 million Democrats in the lower income categories so often.
