Some dangerous but frequently expressed myths spotted in the media:

Wealth trickles down from the rich.... (it doesn't);

The state is like a household & must therefore 'balance the books'.... (it isn't & doesn't);

The poor have only themselves to blame...(no, poverty is often due to external factors);

The rich got there through hard work.... (no, mostly the rich have either benefitted form inheritance or have, unacknowledged, good luck)....

Just sayin'
