Reply #38: Could it be that neither party Democrats or Repblicans [View All]

really wish to have full participation. I am speaking here
of the Powers that Be in each party. There is an awful lot
of evidence that both parties have bought into the myth that
this is a Conservative Country. Conservative Capitalism
by its nature creates a society in which there is a small group
of have mosts and have mores at the top and then a humongous group of havenots. This makes for a society in which a ruling class
really runs things amd call the shots. Keep this group happy
is all the politicians have to do. They have decided to ignore
the other half--after all "they are poor and uneducated and
probably will not know the difference and certainly will not
know how to complain. I have heard one of the most powerful
leaders in our party do an artful dodge when asked about this.
Anyone with common sense could have determined that he meant
we do not wish to expand our base.

What policies are ever instituted to help the poor??? No disrespect
to any group, but there are many many white poor people. Here is
where you find most non-voters.

When we established that our economy would be an investor economy
everything done must reflect investor's interest. Trade Policy,
Low Wages(less a Company pays out, the more can be returned to
investors: Low Wages in this country the same. Health Care Policy
is the same--as little cost to employer as possible. His only
concern is returns for Investor. Examples are numerous.
Investor societies work better if only a select group vote.
Forget the "riff =raff".

People do not vote because, they do not feel they have a stake
and nothing is really going to change. Many feel abandoned by
the Democratic Party. Until the 80s, when our Dems in Congress
and Senate, drank the Regan Kool-Aid and swore allegiance to
the Investor Class.

This is not Class Warfare..
