Marxists use hate to justify destroying things.

“This upward mobility across all income classifications was possible because of the growth of the American economy. Over the 35 years of the study, real median family income rose by 89%.”

The author misses the point that this increase was fueled by the destruction of the American family. Instead of having a breadwinner and stay at home mom we now have 2 working parents with the children being raised by daycare.

When I returned to the USA in 2018 to get my 5 year old daughter educated here I was amazed at how spoiled her friends were. The kids rooms were packed with expensive toys as both parents worked and they spent lots of money on the kids. While my daughter does not realize it yet, but she is so blessed that instead of a getting all the stuff she wants she has 2 stay at home parents. However IMHO she is still being spoiled by her daddy.

If they could just list accomplishments:

DEI hires from LA to DC
Immigrants pouring across the border
Military aged men from Asia pouring across the border
Money by the trillions for what
$100millions for electric cars.

Nothing, nothing has worked.

Some of the left’s resentment is captured by a poor understanding of economics. Here’s a hypothetical case to consider.

An elderly couple live in California. Their modest home has a market value of $1.5 million. Their financial assets consist of IRAs and checking accounts totaling $1.5 million. Their net worth is about $3 million. They are multi-millionaires.

Talk to a leftist about someone with a net worth in the millions, say $3 million, and they will be disgusted. “That money could be used to feed the poor.” In reality, the people described above have the resources they need to live comfortably and perhaps provide some inheritance to their children. Shocking? Hardly. The couple managed their entire lives, working, saving, investing, to achieve this outcome.

Properly viewed, this is not injustice. It is justice. Society benefited from their lives well lived.
