I honestly think it's a cultural thing.
I have never considered that "Narrowing the Gap" could mean anything other than raising the standards of those at the bottom of the heap. And I honestly don't think anyone I know would think that either.
If you raise living conditions (in any way) for the poor and disadvantaged, the gap is narrowed. Perhaps it's a uniquely American perspective that assumes and then rejects the prospect of narrowing it by lowering living standards elsewhere.
