Hillary Clinton continues to bash the “haves” as low-information voters turn a deaf ear to word that she’s one of them. (dailycaller.com)
In my April 24, post, “Hillary to continue dividing the nation,” I related her charges that the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top and that CEOs are making 300 times more than the typical worker. She wants to be the champion of the middle class.
It doesn’t matter to her that in recent polls, one by CBS and another by Gallup, that income disparity was named by only 4 per cent and 2 per cent, respectively, as the most important problem facing the country.
It doesn’t matter because low-information voters like to hear the “haves” bashed.
Interestingly, the Washington Center for Equitable Growth recently found that while survey respondents who hear about inequality believe it is a serious problem, they show no appetite for interventions to reduce it. This finding led the Center to believe there’s distrust in the federal government and that people are skeptical it can be trusted to fix it.
With the drip, drip, drip of information slowly revealing Hillary’s life as one of the “haves,” one wonders how long her political campaign tactic of bashing the “haves” will resonate with voters
