Admit it: GOP has no plans to help anyone except the rich and corporations

The framers were somewhat afraid of democracy, the people would vote themselves all the goodies, they believed, but it hasn't happened. It seems the rich, somehow, seem to have convinced a large segment of the poor not to vote for themselves but for the wealthy and corporate interests.
That is the Social Science question of all time: how did the wealthy pursuade so many poor to vote for policies that make the wealthy stronger and richer?
The upper class have now embarked on programs to prevent the poor from voting, remove power from labor unions, make education questionable, let the rich keep more money and so on. How do they do it?

The irony is, it's the same thing. The rich have simply used the lure of unchecked democracy to con the "people" into voting for programs that will enrich them.
