I agree with you. I shouldn't resort to name calling but this kind of tone-deaf article gets to me. A lot of the 'stupidity' i am referring to is behavioural - like you say, it is actually a mixture of ignorance and apathy. The wealthy want people to be so poor that they can't pay attention to anything other than their next paycheque or so busy that they don't have time to be well-informed. In case that isn't enough, they throw literal disinformation at people through corporate mass-media.
