I'm skeptical. I would think that not all choices are equal, and that some types of choices could make a person more sensitive to income equality. I doubt that the generally progressive politics of college faculty are related to a lack of choices.
It's my feeling that this study is directed at an illusion of choice that makes the American public apt to defend disparity in the US. However, I think the truth might be more related to the types of choices we are presented, and just as important, those we are not.
