Income inequality has risen dramatically since the onset of modern neoliberal financialised capitalism. Even though workers produce more, their wages have been stagnant or receding in real terms for the last 40-50 years. Nearly all of the gains have went only to a very small percentage of people. Even though value is created by all, it's appropriated by less and less people, in a more and more skewed distribution. And your argument is "yall just jealous lol"? People just want what's theirs.
When the wealthiest country in world history has 1 in 6 children living in poverty, I really think you ought to look at yourself in the mirror when you talk about "envy".
