Most of Americas richest think poor people have it easy in this country, according to a new report released by the Pew Research Center. The center surveyed a nationally representative group of people this past fall, and found that the majority of the countrys most financially secure citizens (54 percent at the very top, and 57 percent just below) believe the poor have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return. Americas least financially secure, meanwhile, vehemently disagree — nearly 70 percent say the poor have hard lives because the benefits dont go far enough. Nationally, the population is almost evenly split.
