I’m not sure how much Julia and I actually disagree; I don’t think they’re claiming to be *objectively* poor, but I do think the central idea is that in some prior generation they would be better off. It’s wrong but smart; Trump won on the same message, minus the socialism — MAGA

To be fair, with the notable exception of Warren Buffett, even billionaires believe they’re less wealthy than they deserve to be. Otherwise, why lobby for tax relief when they already enjoy huge loopholes?
