What? You didn't know they were that rich? What else didn't you know?

So, today I was reading that most Americans don’t really know how much the gap has grown between the haves and the have nots. Well, to put it this way, Americans in this recent study unknowingly picked Sweden’s distribution (where 20 % control 36 % of the wealth) over ours -- the U.S. (where 20% control 84% of the wealth).

I think the percentage of Americans who preferred Sweden’s model was 92%. That’s right. A VAST majority of Americans don’t like the current distribution and don’t even know it!

So, here’s something else that locals here (at least those who vote on WBKO’s poll page) don’t know.

While 87.73% of people said that they didn’t understand the current healthcare law, a whopping 71.52% said it should be repealed.

Uhhhhh... can someone explain that one. I know that there might be a few who vote on one and not the other, but to have it skewed so much???? It’s a sad commentary on sheeple.
