By 69-28, voters support raising taxes on people with annual incomes of more than $250,000. By 62-32 they support eliminating subsidies to oil and gas companies. By 84-14 they oppose cuts in Medicare or Social Security. By 50-46, they support cutting defense spending. By 73-23 they oppose cutting Medicaid and entitlements. By 65-27 percent, they think the debt deal treated the elderly unfairly. By 63-29, they think it treated the poor unfairly. By 61-30, they think it treated the middle class unfairly.
As long as Americans are willing to bend to their corporate masters instead of making their voices heard, we're going to continue along the same path of supply-side destruction. Progressive thought is actually shared by the majority, but our politicians only listen to the corporate entities that funded them, not their constituents.
The fact that people continue supporting these despots means there's deception and a misinformation campaign on a grand scale in this country.
