TC Wheeler bashes another straw man!

As he correctly points out, some wealthy people are liberal. He even
refrains from telling us that some poor people are conservative.

Yet he calls it the BIG LIE (capitals are his) to make the empirically
correct statement that wealthy people, as a group, are more
conservative than poor people, as a group (check any poll which gives
results broken down into income strata).  He does this by twisting such
statements into the obviously false one that all wealthy people are
conservative, etc.  A damn fine propaganda technique, if I ever saw one.
