I’m with Nancy Pelosi on a Citizens United constitutional amendment. Otherwise, the country will be owned by corporations. And remember, corporations are neither conservative, nor liberal. They are for more sales and revenues for themselves.
In the end, White working-class folks are screwed. They sided with the wrong side, and they’ll suffer the consequences. They would most benefit from programs such as training, education and health care. Programs that would help them and their kids remain in the middle-class.
It will be interesting watching it all unfold. Time will tell…[/quote]
Brian: Anything you say after “Pelosi” is automatically invalidated by simple logic. Quoting the San Francisco Sea Hag is a lot like quoting Harry Reid (or Boehner or Cantor, so that we’re non-partisan here): They’re partisan hacks and I don’t remember hearing a peep of protest when Obama outraised McCain by some $500MM in 2008. That massive sum seemed perfectly reasonable then, didn’t it?
As far as the white working class screwing themselves: I call bullshit on that one, too. Brian, you cannot simultaneously argue for globalization and protectionism at the same time. The world has changed and our political class has not kept up. Period.
CAR is right regarding labor versus capital and capital is completely uncaring where it lands. The one thing missing from your observations, Brian, is the word REFORM. The solutions are right there in front of us, but our political class lacks the will to implement them and both Dems and Repubs are guilty of this. The idea that white working class voters are alone in this is nonsensical. We’re all fucked and we can thank our elected officials for the rogering.
