Joseph Rowntree Foundation Report VIII

At this point you do have to start laughing:

It may be the case that the public is more concerned about inequality and more in favour of redistribution than politicians think they are. Or it may be the case that concern about inequality is low but based on ignorance about the causes and consequences of inequality.

The other logical possibilities simply do not seem to occur to them: that people do know but still don’t care, that people know it’s not important…fill in more yourselves.

That’s it, I’m bored with this report. Someone will have to pay me to read more of this drivel.

    How about, people think that there is TOO MUCH redistribution, and that the redistribution is going to the wrong people? i.e. “single” mothers, MPs and agricultural land owners?
