What you seem to misunderstand is that Conservatives/Republicans do not see the Government as the means to progress Society or even the individuals in the Society. We believe the role of Government is to stay out of the way as much as possible and allow people, corporations, ideas, etc… to either succeed or fail on their own merits. Therefore a Conservative Government is never going to show major policy “successes” or significant expansions of programs as those things are the exact type of interference we seek to avoid.
You really have drunk the Republican Kool-Aid.
Starting with Ronald Reagan, Republican tax and labour policies have engineered the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world - all of it from working and middle class Americans, to the wealthiest individuals and corporations in the world. This is why the USA is already a two tier nation.
These policies are creating a permanent under class of low-skilled American workers to provide “services” to the affluent classes, and no real opportunity to work their way out of poverty.
When other first world countries lost their low-level manufacturing to off-shoring or automation, we directed government resources into retraining these workers for 21st-century jobs. We also provided income support for these workers while they were retraining.
Many workers who got large, buyout packages used the funds to start new businesses. They were also giving tax breaks, access to business incubators, and income supports in the first year of operation.
The USA redirected government resources into trying to lure American jobs from other states into their state. Workers were expected to pay for their own retraining. Republicans opposed providing any funds whatsoever to these workers, calling them a “disincentive” for them to go back to work.
Yet you basically have full employment and 11 million open jobs. 80% of the people receiving income supports, and/or food stamps, are working at least one full-time job.
“Supply side economics”, completely ignores that supply will sit on the shelves if people don’t have enough income to cover their basic needs. Supply and demand are the drivers of a sound, capitalist economy. Without a thriving middle class, the USA is doomed.
It’s not the Democrats that are destroying your middle class.
