Does anyone have hard evidence as to WHY Chris Mason behaves like this? It seems so far from the 'balance' we should expect, that he must have some powerful motivation.

Poor Sir Simon. According to the Office for National Statistics, the 'remarkable national recovery' he refers to is a myth. The 1980s was when our national decline started. I wonder where he gets his information? 99-percent.org/back-to-the-...

A post suggesting that the 1980s saw a national recovery from the previous period -- entirely inconsistent with the facts.

That is not evidence of unsustainability at all. It is what the book 99% refers to as 'levelling down' logic. You introduce a policy that hurts one group (never the richest) and then, in the interests of 'fairness', you hurt others (also never the richest).
