This is the problem with much of this inequality talk. If you actually ask people what they believe to be true, the usually way overestimate how rich the 1% are, and they WAY underestimate how much taxes the 1% pay (or whatever 'richer' group you want pick). If you ask them about what the 1% SHOULD pay they often pick numbers that are actually below what they actually DO pay. The problem as in many spaces in politics is that the waste majority of people have no clue about the facts that they are voting on. And they have no intensive to actually learn the facts because their individual vote essentially doesn't matter. This is called rational ignorance, its simply not worth informing yourself about what is voted on. Voting is way more about proclaiming alliance to some sort of party or set of ideologies.
