In addition to just how wrong this loser is about all of that obviously being around in the 90s too, what really gives away his privilege and almost certainly his bourgeois politics is the line "wealth was something to aspire to not scoff at." He doesn't like the fact that wealth disparity is something being discussed and criticized. "In the 90s the poors just looked up to us noble rich folk like they're supposed to. Not like now where they're getting all uppity about the well deserving billionaires and complaining about not being able to pay for food and basic shelter. In the good old days they just would have gotten another job and worked harder, so ungrateful!"
