Political Rhetoric with a side of Fear please!

In a recent poliitcal ad on TV, people "boo" like mad when they hear McCain say Obama wants to "spread the wealth around."

My question: Do the people in these crowds realize that they are not the wealthy? When number crunchers talk about the wealthy, "Joe the Plumber" is not among them. So why put up this kind of rhetoric?

Because it works.

More's the shame.
