What Produces Wealth in America: Studies Show Republicans Don’t Understand | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization

What Produces Wealth in America: Studies Show Republicans Don’t Understand | Global Research - Centre for Research on Globalization

 ERIC ZUESSE: A Pew poll published on May 2nd was headlined “Why people
are rich and poor: Republicans and Democrats have very different views”,
and it reported that, “Most Republicans
link a person’s financial standing to their own hard work – or the lack
of it. Most Democrats say that whether someone is rich or poor is more
attributable to circumstances beyond their control.” The partisan
difference on this issue was stark: “By about three-to-one (66% to 21%),
Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say hard work, rather
than a person’s advantages, has more to do with why someone is rich. By
nearly as wide a margin, Democrats and Democratic leaners say the
opposite: 60% say a person is rich because they had more advantages than
others, while just 29% say it is because they have worked harder.”
