thanks for the heads-up!  imho the author's points weren't supported by the facts, but it's always good to know what others are talking about. 

The article seemed to rest on a meme that's going pandemic these days that says America's got too much inequality of incomes --this time the author also hangs his hat on the idea that we're losing our social mobility.   Problem is that this is a key point, and he fails to support it with facts and we're expected to take his word for it.

I don't.
