A foreboding sign should have been an indication of what was to come when the Republican led Wall Street collapse decimated American savings and retirement and not one individual who engaged in this massive financial assault has been jailed or even arrested. It was then Republicans and Wall Street realized the American people were impotent to stand against their power as the decades long shift of income to the top 1% of Americans has paid off handsomely. Even in these tough times Wall Streeters have banked billions of dollars in bonuses enjoying a financial windfall exclusively enjoyed by the Republican elite.During this assault, when Democrats were attempting to repair the economy and create jobs, Republicans blocked every piece of their legislation as they ran to Wall Street to garner more bribes to further this assault on families; seniors, children, college students and small businesses.
As Republicans deceive the public with false claims of balancing the budget, or creating jobs which they have not done in more than a decade, they throw out their typical talking points on abortion rights, gay rights, fear of Muslims, fear of immigrants as they work populous into a frenzy; all the while they chip away at the very fabric of American Democracy.

"Republican-led Wall Street collapse" huh? There's absolutely nothing to substantiate that statement, nor does it provide proof to absolve Democrats of their culpability. Therefore the entire rant is null and void.

So this is solely the result of Republicans, is that what your honestly think?

Nowhere in any of my posts did I not admit that there has been corruption on both sides of the aisle. But...let's get real here...the Democratic Party is the party of the middle class average American.
Just the term "trickle down economics" is laughable as it has already proven not to work, yet the GOP has its supporters actually convonced that it does as they demonize unions and the working class. The GOP fights tooth and nail to protect Wall Street from regulation. Why is that?
A must see video, wherein Thom Hartmann completely destroys the Fox Business meme on entitlement programs (Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security), and the Republican war against working people. Political Ruminations: Republicans Hate the Middle Class
I don't expect any right wingers here will watch the video or read the transcipts and if that is truly the case, do not respond as your post will be based soley on partisanship and self induced ignorance.
Why so one sided ? It's not like the Dems have done anything. The Dems are also complicit in the rape by Wall Street.
Repeal of Glass-Steagall ring a bell ?
Let alone the GOP tried to reign in the mortgage bubble beginning in the early 2000's and the Democrats stopped them, saying that the GOP was nuts when they said a bubble was coming.

Increasing poverty, does NOT equate to support for the middle class. If the Democratic Party is such a party of the middle class, then why does poverty increase under Democrats, and poverty decreases during "trickle down"?

Whats laughable is liberals continuing to deny reality. When Reagan used "trickle down", poverty shrank substantially.. The only way you could have the opinion that it doesnt work, is if your primary concern is making people dependant upon government. Incomes going up is NOT a failure
What has been proven, is everytime you increase support for welfare, you increase poverty, and when you cut back on welfare, you decrease poverty
And yet liberals sit here and moaning and groaning.. "I NEED MY WELFARE", while complaining that more people are poor. Its almost as if you want more poverty so you can demand more federal programs and moan and whine everytime poverty decreases.

the dems are complicit, because the Republicans paint the Dems as anti business and anti jobs when they put anything of substance forth. Again we come back to the Republicans being so extremist that they're pulling the dems to the middle. Nowadays middle of the road is considered to be socialism by Fox News. Obama was never very liberal in the first place, he was middle, maybe slightly left, but these extremists in the Republican party are so extreme that anything middle of the road is considered liberal.
The dems just aren't any good at combating the Republican smear campaign. They're incompetent. That, in the end makes them somewhat complicit, but they aren't the perpetrators of the problems our created in our country for the gain of the rich.
