Most Americans Say Economic Structure Favors 'Very Small Portion Of The Rich': WSJ/NBC Poll

Most Americans Say Economic Structure Favors 'Very Small Portion Of The Rich': WSJ/NBC Poll: "Sixty percent of Americans said they think the country's economic structure is "out of balance" and that it favors a "very small portion of the rich" over everyone else, according to a recent Wall Street Journal/NBC poll. The majority of Americans also said they believe the government should not financially help corporations or cut taxes on the rich.

The findings mirror other surveys indicating that Americans are fed up with the widening gap between the rich and the poor. Fifty-five percent of Americans said they think income inequality is a big problem for the country, according to a recent poll by The Hill. In addition, the wealth gap is one of the major focuses of the Occupy protests taking place across the country."
