Why did you post this article, which is a poll and a disproportionately weighted one ( more Dems and Indies than GOPers ) at that?

It is also skewed, vis-a-vis quips from college professors, government workers, and ex-government workers. The class warfare, MARXIST codswallop, that permeates the whole article, which yes, I read in its entirety. Also missing, are the facts that there are more self-made millionaires and billionaires today, than every before, that more everyday people are invested in the market ( there goes that specious quote from the mordant idiot in this article, who claimed that only the VERY rich can take advantage of being in the market )than at any other point in time of the history of mankind, and that the so called "poor" live better today, than than the middle of the middle class did in the 1960s.

It wasn't disproportionately weighted. It simply says that most of the concerned comes from Dems and Independents. But it even says a majority of GOPers (55%) are also concerned about it. If the poll is correct, then it gives us a hint of the mood of the country, and the potential outcome re: economic issues in future elections. BTW, as the numbers indicate, the so-called recovery is far from equally distributed across income brackets. If the rich are getting richer, that's great. But if the rest are getting left behind, it only underscores that we are not experiencing a broad-based recovery. And unless we figure out what is causing this, and rectify it, then it increases the chance that the Dems will pick up even more seats (not to mention the presidency) next time around.
