Money, in and of itself, ain't a bad thing. Perhaps. [View all]

Been catching up on Pew polls. Here's one on Occupy that had an interesting tidbit:

Notably, among Democrats and Democratic leaning independents, those with incomes of $75,000 or more are substantially more supportive more of Occupy Wall Street than those with incomes of less than $30,000 (71% vs. 56%).

Among Republicans and Republican leaning independents the pattern is reversed: Those with incomes of $75,000 and higher oppose the movement by nearly five-to-one (72% oppose, 15% support), views among Republicans with incomes of less than $30,000 are more divided (41% oppose, 30% support).


I'm still thinking about what conclusion to draw from this. Thoughts?
