These survey respondents could be part of a slightly more progressive coalition of Republicans who also care about climate change, immigration and access to contraception, reports show.

A majority of Republicans who agree there's too much economic inequality in the U.S. said that large corporations and businesses have a lot of responsibility for fixing it, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center.

That 41 percent could be part of a slightly more progressive coalition of Republicans, as they're younger and less wealthy than others surveyed, according to demographic information provided by Pew toAmong this group, Republicans who say there's too much inequality, 23 percent are younger than 30, and more than half are younger than 50, according to Pew.

Curiously, only 36 percent of them think that increasing taxes on the wealthiest Americans would do a great deal to solve inequality, according to one question. Yet the vast majority of them think the federal government should raise their taxes anyway, according to another.

They won’t police themselves. Duh. Greed, ya know?

Yeah, I won't hold my breath for that to happen 🙄

Stay in school republicans...stay in school!

These are the same white people that love living in the misery of the horrible healthcare system because they don’t want minorities to have access to good healthcare.

The government allowed these companies to purchase more companies and more companies monopoly

The irony is beyond measure. Do they have any concept at all that it is large corporations causing inequality and they don't give a shit about them?

No we have to oppose all conservatives in every way, because we are superior. If they start to call for less war, we have to push for more. If they start to call for regulation of tech companies,we must protect those same companies. if they call for free speech, we must oppose it

And your POTUS gave them the tax breaks that exacerbated it

It's literally the large corporations who are partially causing that inequality

Yeah we’ve been telling you Bernie is popular with republicans too

The irony is so deep here
