His point is that special interest groups cause inequality, but his last example is government workers. How are government workers unequal? Do postmen think they're superior to those lowly I-bankers? Do school principals look down on lawyers? It's ridiculous. The US does not have a civil service caste; the US bureaucracy does not create inequality, unless we redefine inequality to be something totally different than the normal usage. I'm not just nitpicking: this kind of sloppy thinking absolutely kills this essay.
