71% of Americans believe economy is 'rigged' (CNN)

24. Nope.

What's "rigged" mean? Is it talking process? Initial opportunity? Conditions set up early in childhood? Late in life? In school? By geography?

Does it mean that if you do well in high school and get grants you go to college? It's rigged for that group? Does it matter that higher-educated parents make more money, and both contribute to doing well in school? Is that rigging or cause and effect.?

What if you're a poor white and do okay in school, but that poor black gets more grants because and can go to college? If you're a poor black do you just assume whites have it better because they're white? How do you account for how Latinos fair? Chinese?

Or did they just say that it was bankers and politicians?

I know kids who resent the Muslims at school because they're generally well off. Children of engineers and such in the petroleum industry. And they do better.

Trump's supporters think things are rigged one way. Sanders' supporters think they're rigged another way. There's some overlap, to be sure. But they'd sharply disagree over many instances.

So, that 70+% that think it's rigged ... What's the solution and who benefits? The poor white, the poor black, the Muslim, the non-immigrants, those who have more complete educational backgrounds, those who get additional help ...

It's not clear. It's a poorly worded question because "yes" can mean a dozen different things, at the very least, many of them diametrically the opposite of other meanings of "yes," with contrary solutions. And in some cases, a "yes" could be based on entirely incorrect information or skewed perceptions.
