Yes, this comment is just one long series of distribution fallacies.
Take, for example, the cost of university education. In 1990, c. <=10% when to "free" university, this generation, 55% do; paying c. £35k to do so (1x the median salary).
What are we to conclude from this? That the "middle class" is being ripped off? Or that a massive amount of the population has entered the middle/lower-middle class via university that would have otherwise not been there.
This likewise applies to basically all these points. The logic is, "I identify with a 5%er middle class person of the 80s, and I DONT GET WHAT THEY GOT!!" -- despite, now, actually being part of the 55% of the country which has /much/ of "what they had" (-- due to massive wealth increases).

I can understand their rage, even if it seems silly, they've been lied to their entire life, for profit. So yeah, their angry about reality, because they still they believe the lies.
