Good stuff man. I am in the middle of writing my thesis about the "The REAL New Republican Plan," no longer racism but placeism. You may be pretty interested in it when finished, as it is right in line with your article.
Put simply how they work as hard as they can to keep the poor and the force the middle class into poverty and it shows in all of their transparent policies and voting records.
Also includes my plan for how "New Democrats" must take back up the Civil Rights war and help to bring up the impoverished and less-privilaged in this country so we can ban together to finally defeat the Far Right. We will never outnumber them if our base is to fucking poor to do anything about them.
