Elite 2

(cont'd from yesterday's post)

So how different are the values of the "unique elite 1%?" Here's the difference on various issues between the opinions of most or all voters compared to those of the unique elite 1% (UE1):

• is there enough individual freedom in America? - most voters want more, half of UE1 want less
• favorable view of journalists? - 10% of all voters say no, 71% of UE1 say yes
• very favorable view of congress? - 6% of most voters say no, 69% of UE1 say yes

Regarding climate change policies, most voters (63-83%) are against the following ideas. But the UE1 like them:

• 77 % of UE1 want restrictions/rationing on private use of gas, meat, electricity
• 72% of UE1 want to ban gas powered vehicles
• 69% of UE1 want to ban gas stoves
• 58% of UE1 want to ban SUV's
• 55% of UE1 want to ban non-essential air travel
• 53% of UE1 want to ban private air conditioning
