re: #162 iceweasel

I don’t know anyone who thinks the way your one brother does. Not in real life or on the lefty blogs I choose to frequent.
I could probably find some on DU or similar.
But I do see some similar forms of ‘class resentment’ I should call it, on both the left and right— people who want the wealthy taxed purely because they aren’t in that top 1 %, and people who want social programs for the poor slashed, because they are convinced that medical bankruptcies, unemployment, and more only happen to ‘other people’ (read: who deserve it).

It does seem to be way outside the mainstream - most people did not begin to give a hoot about bankers’ salaries and bonuses until they appealed to the government for a bailout.
