A simmering pot today, will start to boil and then what?
Are there any links between States voting v income v education?

This is much of the problem, in the past uneducated workers could always count on a factory job which was usually backed by union pay levels that meant pay was kept well above the poverty levels and the middle class was strong..
Republicans went to war against unions and have pretty much won. Combine this with loss of that 30 year factory job with retirement and medical, then you see what we end up with today... However no Republicans are ever gonna say the truth about the current situation, so instead they use illegals and welfare moms as the scape goats while laghing all the way to the bank at their flock of sheep supporters..
