The New Republic recently commissioned a poll asking Americans for their opinions on wealth distribution in the country. In short, we found that people feel strongly that the superrich own too much of the wealth in the country and that they should be taxed much more; they said the opposite about the bottom 50 percent.
But the survey also tested respondents’ knowledge. Exactly how wealthy are the superrich? Which party has a better record on increasing family income? And so on. Here’s how the poll respondents answered at the time of the April survey. But first, take this quiz to see how you stack up against them.
