The problem with the argument is that it does nothing to address the central problem except to blame Mr Graham for it. Most people are getting poorer. That's a real issue and it would be very interesting if the poster tried to find a solution for it. Because it's very complicated. It touches everything from regulatory red tape to technology to tax policy, benefits, ownership rights. Basically everything. How do you get the amount of high paying jobs to increase so people can earn more money? How do you make sure regulations don't affect people's side hustles too much? How do you ensure zoning and land ownership rights are done in a fair way that does not significantly disadvantage newcomers? How do you make sure someones ownership rights do not affect someone else's ability to make a living? If you ask me this problem is largely self inflicted and is solvable but requires a different way of thinking.
Instead this piece justs blames the fact that rich people also defend their interests. It's nothing new.
