These "don't tax the rich" dipshits think that mantra is unique to "Merka', but that is the same fucking line China's PM uses too.
Monopolies of markets have no borders. Wealth can be monopolized by a family, like the Saudi Royal Family, or a despot like Gadaffi who was a billionaire who owned stock in GE. And the Un Family has global investments too, otherwise they would not be able to pay an army to protect them.
No, we are not a one party state, but we do have in the western allies are growing global monopolies.
Here is what is going to happen. There will be a very shallow band aid that will be crumbs that make enough people back off. It will feel good for a while, but, as we have seen since Reagan, since which we have had a crash in the 80s, the dot com bubble in the 90s, then a very severe recession caused by Bush.
But the bullshit about the parties being the same is just that. The only thing dems can be blamed for is too much compromise. The 36 years of GOP gerrymandering and our voter apathy in local and state elections in midterms has not helped.
I did literally see an uptick in my town, but that is simply a false sense of comfort. If Trump manages to get 8 years watch out. Do not be surprised one bit if Trump ends up like Bush on steroids.
