I don't think the poll result is as grim as it sodnus. Quite frankly, I don't think people really understood the question mainly because it doesn't make sense. Here it is in its entirety: Do you feel that the distribution of money and wealth in this country is fair, or do you feel that the money and wealth in this country should be more evenly distributed among more people? What does that even mean to people? News savvy people understand what the question is supposed to be about, but someone else might think they're talking about how much employers pay their employees, or how much people give to charity. To me, it almost sodnus like a partisan push poll question. You could pretty much replace money and wealth with ANYTHING positive and a strong majority will answer yes. I don't dispute that we have an entitlement mentality problem in this country, but this question was deliberately worded this way to get the result it did.
