60. it isn't just rich people though

the biggest group is probably the 80-98th percentile.

In fact, with occupy, they have pretty much even co-opted economic issues. Because for every dollar that goes to "the 99%" it seems like 50 cents goes to the 80-98th percentile, 30 cents goes to the next 20%, leaving only 20 cents for the bottom 60%.

My own name for that is "trickle down lite".

And I would look at abortion. Does keeping abortion legal do anything to reduce income inequality? And the same politicians who declare themselves to be "progressives" or "liberals" because of their stance on abortion, are the same ones who engage in the trickle down lite economic policy.

Take Andrew Cuomo (please). Here he is touting abortion in his state of the state http://www.ontheissues.org/Governor/Andrew_Cuomo_Abortion.htm

(Okay, on closer reading that link seems to be for an anti-choice group, but it was about the only thing google gave me for Andrew Cuomo on abortion (it gave me a bunch of links for his dad))

and here's Cuomo making sure rich people get a tax break http://journals.democraticunderground.com/hfojvt/154

Seems to me that he uses abortion the same way Republican politicians do - to mollify and distract his base, while taking care of the donor class.
