I read the article you sent, it doesn't prove your point.
It's interesting how "no one is for inequality" is taken as a statement that doesn't require proof (my original statement was about my impression, not a clear statement that was the case.)
I suggest that categorical statement that, universally, everyone is against inequality, needs some justification. Historically it's certainly not true AT ALL.

I assumed it was hyperbole on the GP's part.
I suggest that's an extraordinarily naive statement.
