Because when you look closely enough there is NO difference between Republicans and Democrats.
The rhetoric of privitization is hallmark Republican, but the mechanism of privitization can be easily worked into a Democratic agenda. Same goes for elimination or limitation of mortgage interest deduction. Can you see a Democratic congress or president twisting mortgage interest reform as a way to “take from the rich and give to the poor?” Yep, piece of cake.
And other anomalies like, “Wall Street loves Clinton (both Bill and Hill).” Or, why do “free-market, Reagan/Goldwater Republicans” tolerate the existence of the Federal Reserve?
Again, pardon my extreme cynicism, but I did warn you.
