Yes, many Americans are either not informed or worse, misinformed about who really benefits from right-wing economic policies. The Right preys on that ignorance and stokes the fires of resentment (for results of this, look no further than the increased racial polarization in American politics, or the urban-rural divide, etc.). And the professional pundit class explains to us all why the common people's "betters" deserve to rule them, on a 24/7 basis.

Just as an FYI, the video is very misleading and based on a poor understanding of economics. Wealth distribution is naturally very unequal and it's not much of a social problem either. It's income distribution which is relevant and that's probably also what people were thinking of when saying what distribution they want.

lol, please.
