Americans' economic understanding

is better than I expected it would be. Don Surber:

The numbers are from the Gallup Poll.

The Question: “Which approach should the government focus on to fix the economy:
1. Take steps to more evenly distribute wealth among Americans;
2. Take steps to improve overall economic conditions and the jobs situation?”

Overwhelmingly Americans chose the latter.

They remember Jack Kennedy, who said a rising tide lifts all boats.

Obama is among the 13% who want wealth redistribution [i.e. "take steps to more evenly distribute wealth"].

84% in the Gallup Poll chose: "Take steps to improve overall economic conditions and the jobs situation".
