If true, this explanation seriously undermines the notion that governments should pay any attention to popular opinion about wealth distribution at all, as that opinion no longer needs correlation with people's true values to explain it.
No, it suggests a source of systematic bias- there still might be signal beneath the noise. Also, in general things go kind of pear-shaped (one way or another) when the government decides to stop paying attention to popular opinion, regardless of how stupid it is.
