Survey: Class Conflict Growing in U.S. Between Rich and Poor 
-------------------------------------------------------------



A new survey by the Pew Research Center has found nearly two-thirds of
Americans believe there is a strong, or very strong class, conflict
between the rich and poor. The survey found Americans now believe there
is more conflict between the rich and poor than between immigrants and
the native born or between blacks and whites. Meanwhile, a new study by
Indiana University has found 46 million Americans were living in poverty
last year, an increase of nearly 11 million since 2006.
