Does rising inequality make us all hardhearted? "[A] 2008 study of public attitudes during periods of mounting inequality found that "when inequality in America rises, the public responds with increased conservative sentiment." This conservative shift applies to all income groups, including the poor, according to the political scientists Nathan Kelly of the University of Tennessee and Peter Enns of Cornell. "Rather than generating opinion shifts that would make redistributive policies more likely," Kelly and Enns write, "increased economic inequality produces a conservative response in public sentiment."" Thomas B. Edsall in The New York Times
