Article is composed of (1) unsupported assertions, (2) extremely selective use of statistical data, and (3) repeated attacks on a straw man ("a group of liberal politicians, policymakers, and social activists who want to reduce economic inequality through greater taxation and redistribution of wealth" who supposedly "draw inspiration from a particular academic theory: that inequality is socially destructive because it makes people miserable.")

It is about how extremely extremely rich people by the average person's standard feel poor compared to their much richer colleages.
