[lbo-talk] deluded American's wish they were Swedish?

[Alan Rudy]

Methinks, assuming Harvard and Duke can execute a decent survey, this
suggests that the Dems have more degrees of freedom than some suggest.  In
short, Americans think we're way more middle classy - in terms of wealth
distribution - than we are and think we ought to be even more middle classy
than they wrongly think we are.  Basically, they have no idea that its 1929
all over again in terms of wealth distribution and, basically, wish wealth
distribution was more egalitarian than in 1975 (which is what they think its
like now).
