Do you really think working class Americans have ANYTHING in common with Gore, Soros, Edwards and the rest of the rich Democrats?
Which group is against minimum wages?
Which group is against unions and wants to end all collective bargaining?
Which group has attempted to get rid of child labor laws?
Which group wants regulations, especially EPA regulations, lessened or removed?
Which group is always demanding fewer and fewer taxes on businesses?
Which group love subsidies for businesses, especially the oil, coal and lumber industries?
Which group excuses the off-shoring or America jobs?
Well, you should get the idea by this point, hopefully that clears up my POV.

Look it up yourself. It is not hard to find. It is pretty common knowledge that Republicans seek tax decreases for the wealthy and the Democrats are for middle class centric policies. If you are not aware of this, crawl out of the cave and look around.

There wouldn't be Republicans if the Fox watching middle-class didn't repeatedly vote for the the Party that is less likely to protect their safety, less likely to protect their jobs, and less likely to benefit them economically.

The only reason Fox news exists is because the rest of the news has become oppressively biased towards progressives. When so many millions upon millons of people can't stand watching the fake news anymore, something new is going to emerge to take its place, like Fox news.

Chicken or the egg? Perhaps "the rest of the news has become oppressively biased towards progressives" is because of right-wing propaganda.

As Rolling Stone (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/ailes-nixon-and-the-plan-for-putting-the-gop-on-tv-news-20110701 - broken link) said, Gawker's John Cook has unearthed a juicy White House memo – "A Plan for Putting the GOP on TV News" – that shows Roger Ailes and fellow aides to Richard Nixon plotting to disseminate Republican propaganda to local news outlets nationwide.
...
"You know Roger is crazy," Murdoch recently told a colleague, shaking his head in disbelief. "He really believes that stuff."

Because obesity implies a kind of immaturity and selfishness. Maybe that sounds harsh. But there is probably some small element of truth to it. I don't think that obese people enjoy being the way they are. But some of them don't know how to overcome it.

Sorry! Wrong thread. (I wondered what happened the first time I posted that)

Ours is probably the only nation where anyone with the ambition can achieve those things.

It would be more like western Europe.
Do you think the Republipawns are the only wealthy people? Do you think that wealth actually "trickles down" to the middle class in ANY way? It has NOTHING to do with party. The wealthy class of our society is so absurdly wealthy that we are not simply talking about "the rich" of the 1900's, the wealth of today is kept in the individual families of those same wealthy people, it doesn't trickle or flow downhill at all. They got that way from not paying taxes owed, shipping their wealth off shore and screwing the everyday American who has gotten considerably poorer as we "pushed" the money uphill for them. The economic health you speak of is ALL concentrated in the upper realms of the country. YOU don't get any of it and I'll be willing to bet YOU have worked very hard for what you have gotten .....no matter how "measly" in comparison, you're income is.
