The funny thing is...if you divide US Household income by 5. Take the bottom 5th and top 5th of incomes. Those two groups vote majority Democrat. The three in the middle lean Republican.

This is a very interesting point. So the people who experience the stratification the most are opposed to it. And those who are more in the middle they do not mind it.

They have a common interest in perpetuating the welfare state: the lower fifth wants government checks - the upper fifth wants cheap insurance against another French revolution. ;)
