Perhaps the saddest thing about this presentation is that we’re not seeing it on 60 Minutes or Dateline NBC. And Americans trust those programs far more than a station they regard as the propaganda wing of Islamic terrorists.
The disconnect is profound. I got a little angry watching this. The Harvard grad who says that rather than give ten percent (only ten percent he talks about!) to ‘entitlement programs’, “Isn’t it better for everyone that I make my money into more money” … he really believes that.
It’s a combination of the Just-World Fallacy and people wanting what is in their own best interests to be the right thing to do.
That and not seeing their own entitlements as entitlement.
