Brad Plumer: “[T]he number of Americans who agree with the statement that ‘government should reduce income differences between the rich and poor’ has plummeted…. As it turns out, wealthy CEOs aren’t driving the drop. Americans with below-average income are. Kuziemko and Norton’s theory is that, during rickety economic periods, people at lower income levels worry that redistribution will allow the people doing even worse than them to catch up.”
