92 - Right-Wing Nightmare: Americans Favor Heavily Taxing The Rich To Redistribute Wealth
Today, I have great news for you. New polling data gives you and me some really heavy-duty ammo to fight back against a particular type of name-calling by the right, that some of us have endured for decades.
It all relates to wealth distribution in America.
Here are the three main pieces of ordnance, which come in the form of the conclusions of a recent Gallup poll:A large majority of Americans support the principle that wealth should be more evenly distributed in America
A similarly large majority of Americans feel that the rich pay too little in taxes.
About half of Americans advocate heavy taxation of the rich in order to redistribute wealth Wow! This means, next time you're called a commie or a Marxist or a socialist, you can reply: well, so is half of America then, by your definition, Mr. or Ms. Right-Winger. Guess the country's turned red.
Please listen to the podcast for all the juicy details.
(PS: Right-wingers, if you want to write in to me, fine, but at least do me the courtesy of listening to the podcast first. Please don't respond just on the basis of the brief preview above. Thanks!!)
