Am I the only one seeing a lot of headlines pitting top 10% against the rest? It’s disingenuous to make up headlines like this without mentioning too 10% consists of, you guessed it, top 1% which owns more than 50% of all the stocks.

It doesn't really make sense to be mad at the 10%, because it will probably include you or others in your family unless you are really stuck.
And there are a lot of people who are stuck. Let's not diminish that. But we will never address that if we are conflating them with young people who just happen to have a low income today but have every reason to see themselves in the middle class.
The article refers to the top 10% wealthiest, everything you mentioned is related to income.
