I have to give credit to the GOP.
They manage to (somehow) sell themselves as the "party of the people" to certain people even though they're the champions of the very policies that enriched the wealthy even as those self same policies undercut the security of the working class. Then when those policies (like deregulation) bring ruination, they demonized the opposition for the continued decline that was inevitable in much the same way as one can't simple stop a speeding truck on a highway once a problem is seen up ahead.
Getting working class Americans who have experienced job losses, foreclosures, and declines in their retirement funds to yell 'class warfare' (in defense of the rich) even after the wealthy have experienced historic tax cuts and unprecedented gains in their share of the national wealthy and a greater disparity of income inequality (in favor of the wealthiest Americans) is a trick that even Houdini couldn't pull off.

Democrats want us all to be poor, and rely on government to 'help' us. Republican should be the party that want to take the poor out of poverty and up to the (mythical) middle class.... and move that 'middle class' up to wealthy. Hand up, not hand out.

Should? Implying they're not?
I would have to agree.

That's the kind of patently absurd statement that only serves to obfuscate the issues.
Something I left out of my previous statement is this whole issue of less regulation. Less (and lax) regulation is what allowed banks to game the system in the first place.
Who do you think benefits from further deregulation and the elimination of Dodd/Frank like is being advocated by the GOP every time they get a chance to talk about their agenda on camera? You? Your working class and middle class friends? Better think again. The people and institutions that will benefit from it are the very ones who benefited from it the first time around as those record profits were rolling in right up until the house of cards came crashing down.
