He won't admit it (intellectual cowardice) but he obviously gets his info from the right wing bubbleshpere. I've called him out several times and he acts like I didn't say a thing.

I say that to illustrate why it's not likely that he's going to care about inequality; Rush Limbaugh, no doubt, has told him that the Occupy Patriots are just jealous.

Perhaps this good information you're providing will sway him? I try to never give up on anybody.
