不用说,私人飞机现在肯定指责奥巴马将一个提供超过一百万岗位的成功产业作为替罪羊,而且共和党会指责他发起了一个平民主义的阶级斗争。但这提出了一个问题,如果当今美国存在一个真正的平民运动,那么这将不包括那些尖叫着要将富人榨干的贫民阶级勇士们。这是茶党运动,其改革运动旨在减少税收和彻底精简政府,任何不喜欢茶党运动的都有可能倾向于飞机里的那些重要的大亨们。
Why is bashing the rich such an unpopular form of populism in America? The normal answerfalls back on culture. Bill Galston of the Brookings Institution notes that Americans are repelledby the notion of inequality in worth or status. That men are created equal is, after all, self-evident. They are, however, far less perturbed by unequal wealth, a form of inequality that isthe inevitable product of the free-market system in which most still profess an abiding faith.According to Tom Smith, director of the Centre for the Study of Politics and Society at theUniversity of Chicago, surveys still show Americans to be more sympathetic than Europeans tothe idea that unequal pay encourages people to work hard, for example, and less sympatheticto the idea that governments should try to smooth such inequalities out.
为何在美国抨击富人是非常不受欢迎的一种平民主义形式?常规的答案归根于文化,布鲁金斯学会的比尔?盖尔斯顿指出,美国人对财产和社会地位不平等的说法感到厌恶。毕竟人人生而平等是不言而喻的,但却被不平等的财富完全打乱。财富不均作为不公平的一种形式,是自由市场体系不可避免的产物,但多数人声称仍然对自由市场体系持有不变的信念。根据芝加哥大学政治与社会研究中心主任汤姆?史密斯的调查,发现美国人比欧洲人更加赞同这样的想法,即不平等的待遇激励人们更加努力的工作,但是,不赞成政府应当尝试消除不平等的想法。
