As Bobby Duffy says in the article, "When absolute incomes are stuck and people feel the dice is loaded against them while others get ahead, even if they work hard, then the motivation to work is going to be affected.”
Though tbh, this was a prevalent attitude among working class people of my parents' generation -the boomer-birthers- if my memory is any guide.
