| Rich people might want to watch their backs: New survey data shows increasing swaths of Americans think violence against the upper class is justified. The libertarian-leaning Cato Institute released its 2019 Welfare, Work, and Wealth National Survey on Sept. 24, which includes vast amounts of new data shedding light on the economic views and values of Americans. Cato partnered with YouGov to conduct an online survey of 1,700 American adults. The most disturbing finding is 47% of those with strongly favorable views of socialism think “citizens taking violent action against the rich” is sometimes acceptable. And it isn’t just fringe socialists who hold this view. The survey found that 36% of “strong liberals” and 35% of Americans under 30 agree that violence against the rich is sometimes justifiable.
