policies that do mostly benefit the wealthy and corporations ?

in my personal encounters with people it's usually the 99 percent and usually towards the mid-lower end on that and there are many who talk trash about homeless and complain about welfare and other shit.

but you also have people like mentioned above Grayson, FDR was 1 percent. Warren Buffet is one of the biggest supporters of a more fair system.
