On May 22, The Campaign for America's Future gave a conference on The New Populist Majority. The keynote speaker was Elizabeth Warren. The conference confronted the meme that the US is a "center-right" country.
Most interesting to me was the fact that they obtained poll results from "the 1%." Typically, "upper income" in polling is considered "over $250K/yr" or even "over $150K/yr." Such people are rich compared to most, but they do not have enough money to buy elections with their spare change.
The poll results for this comparison came from the Russell Sage Foundation. "Elites" are defined as at or near "the 1%" in wealth with an average income of $1M/yr or more. The perspectives of this group are compared to responses from other polls such as Pew and Gallup.
remember occupy wall street they were calling out the 1% for it's selfishness and greed and you don't have to guess who tried to discredit them create controversy created by the defenders of the 1%, republican right wing. they sat outside protesting, 1%'ers looked out of their office windows and held signs claiming their pride to be 1%'er's and gave it their best PeeWee Herman impression of "i know you are but what am i" there are vast divides in the ideology of rich in respect to working poor and middle class some care others don't. those who don't are more likely to be and support the republican ideology even those who are not rich, how anti life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness is that?????
