There isn't any "downward envy" - how could you come to that conclusion?
The envy is all upward towards the "millionaire" pensioners who only own one million dollars, and who in income terms are worse off than old age pensioners (who are in effect notional millionaires in their own right).
This is plainly evident with the Greens happily attacking the "millionaire pensioners". Are you saying that the Greens are now trying to make the top 10% more wealthy?
