The founders probably didn't want the country to collapse economically as 20% of the country amassed 80% of its wealth, pushing the middle class into poverty. (Of course you and I don't know this because big business and industry didn't exist in the US at that time, and the founders couldn't have foreseen multi-billionaires getting multi-million dollar severance packages after taking their businesses into the toilet).
This Tytler character sounds like an idiot. You do realize that the average Bernie voter is educated and middle class? Poor people are voting for Hillary, Trump, or Cruz.
I don't know if it's a majority, but a LOT of Americans vote based on what they THINK will help the country, not on what puts more money in their own wallet.
Lots of physicians, rich, educated are also voting Trump, so I'd say your statement is just an assumption. Things may change at some point, but it's not just the poor and uneducated.
