Republicans are more satisfied than Democrats with the income and wealth distribution in the U.S. today, said a Gallup poll released Monday.
Of all adults nationwide, 32 percent are either very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the way income and wealth are distributed in the country, the poll found. Forty-five percent of Republicans feel that way, while only 24 percent of Democrats report any satisfaction with income distribution.
Democrats have made income inequality an early 2014 focus in Washington, with many lawmakers talking about the need to increase the minimum wage. The push to extend long-term unemployment insurance was also the first major issue Congress tried to tackle in the new year, though the effort stalled after a GOP filibuster in the Senate.

Democrats will never be happy, even when all workers income is distributed to them. There won't ever be enough, and they will want more.
Period.
Your lesson on Dem's today.
Most of the Republicans know how hard they worked for what they have and are satisfied with their decided work/return ratio.
Most of the Democrats (that support this wealth redistribution) are lazy and want to be supported in the highest lifestyle with no outlay of effort.
I have seen too many examples - foodstamp redemption being picked up in a Mercedes...they don't have to spend their income (from a gimme job) on food - so they can afford 22" chrome rims on their new C-Class!
