And New America seems OK with that. Ever since Obama's killing of the Keystone pipeline and the SOTU speech, his poll numbers have gone up. I guess destroying economy seems to resonate.
What resonates is class envy. Jealousy and resentment have become a mainstay in American culture, along with the attitude of entitlement. When the left frames their class envy arguments in attempted ‘reasonable’ terms (e.g. Warren Buffett should pay at least as much tax as his secretary) it fans the flames of those who buy into the erroneous idea that everyone would have more if the people at the top would just stop cheating them. We've let them get away with these claims. We can no longer afford the luxury of sitting back and hoping that the truth will become apparent. Eventually it will, but it may be a very painful road to that point.
