Blasher,
haven't things been so much better since 1980 when the number of rich people (millionaires and billionaires) have been increasing greatly ??
The thing about people like CJ is that their happiness is not defined by how well they are doing or how much their own standards of living has improved since 1980. Instead, their own happiness is defined by how well the so-called "99%" is doing relative to the "one percent."

It's completely irrational and founded on class envy, but that's how their mentality has been conditioned by post-modern society. They take all of the progress over the past three decades for granted. As a result, they become depressed over societal ills that they feel they have no power to change, except by voting themselves the public largesse.

That way, they feel they can fulfill their obligation to society using resources that they didn't accumulate themselves, but rather acquired via fiat.
