"If a creep like Newt can make economic inequality arguments work for him, it shows the genuine power of the argument."

I think the Doltentariate (the lower-SES social conservatives) are only capable of hearing a message like this from someone like Newt. If it were to come from an actual rational person, they would immediately tune it out as "socialist garbage."
