In 36 years since Reagan started the age of deregulation and "don't tax the rich" the pay gap has exploded. In that same time the GOP has gained, through gerrymandering, a lopsided majority of the Governor's offices, majority of state governments. And when you average out the balance of power in the three branches of the federal government over that same time, the GOP has dominated all three most of that time.
Again, if it worked like the GOP has been falsely selling that entire time nobody would be bitching.
Well, no system or political party idea is 100% perfect or full proof. Gerrymandering is the norm for both parties and will continue until term limits are put in place for congress and senate seats. It’ll still probably happen at that point too.
To place all blame on the shoulders of the GOP is pretty narrow minded. Take a look at the wellbeing of the worst states in the country. California, New York, and Illinois (Washington and Origen aren’t too far behind). These are STRICT democrat states in their public offices. Some of the highest state taxes and some of the highest debt among states. Toughest gun laws and astronomical gun deaths from criminal activity. Highest levels of welfare recipients, some of the highest unemployment rates, etc., etc., etc.
The GOP isn’t perfect, but the Democratic Party doesn’t have any room at all to point fingers. Their feel good, hug society message doesn’t hold up either. It’s sounds good; it’s draining the blood from people, but it sounds good. I guess sounding good is good enough because it keeps them in office. Maybe that’s what counts.
No it is not narrow minded. The data is in, the maps are there and SHOW that it is lopsided.
What caused the great depression is the same mindset that caused Bush's triple whammy car/bank an housing crash were due to long term and horrible policy of a free for all market. Unless the top puts real skin in the game and those on Wall Street get put in prison they will continue to gamble with our economy and the middle and poor classes will keep getting stuck with the bill.
The only thing dems can be accused of is too much compromise and voter apathy in that time.
And go fuck yourself with the bullshit "feel good" slur. Again moron, if it worked like the GOP sells nobody would be bitching. It is that fucking simple.
I am sick of the bullshit that taxing the rich is robbery.
I am sick of the bullshit that liberals hate the private sector.
I am sick of the bullshit that subsidies are a call for Cuba or Stalin's Russia.
Now again the mantra coming from the right is always "independence". NO FUCKING SHIT, and pay that meets the cost of living will do just that. Now go back and keep watching that VIDEO, made by a BILLIONAIRE, not a poor person. Keep watching that until you fucking get it.
Your nanny state cold war bullshit isn't going to wash anymore.
