Ugh. Well . . . On the other hand, 13% of them say it is "the responsibility of the government to reduce the differences in income between people with high incomes and those with low incomes." 13% is better than nothing. 46% of other people said this. They are Democrats, I am guessing. Other wealthy people throughout history have said this sort of thing. Theodore Roosevelt, for example. This is called enlightened self interest. Here is a modern example I posted before: "The Pitchforks Are Coming… For Us Plutocrats" http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2014/06/the-pitchforks-are-coming-for-us-plutocrats-108014#ixzz3hr7nlghY - Jed
