We attempt to insert the desires of \u201cregular\u201d Americans into these debates, by asking a nationally representative online panel to estimate the current distribution of wealth in the United States and to \u201cbuild a better America\u201d by constructing distributions with their ideal level of inequality. First, respondents dramatically underestimated the current level of wealth inequality. Second, respondents constructed ideal wealth distributions that were far more equitable than even their erroneously low estimates of the actual distribution. Most important from a policy perspective, we observed a surprising level of consensus: All demographic groups\u2014even those not usually associated with wealth redistribution such as Republicans and the wealthy\u2014desired a more equal distribution of wealth than the status quo.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--StartFragment--><\/p>\n<p class=\"0\" style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); mso-pagination: none; mso-padding-alt: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"background: rgb(255, 255, 255); letter-spacing: 0pt; font-family: Times New Roman; mso-fareast-font-family: Times New Roman; mso-ascii-font-family: Times New Roman; mso-font-width: 100%; mso-text-raise: 0pt;\">Norton, M.
