What concerns me is when the caller says, 01:23 “The Democrats really have to point out to the American people that the Republican Party sold out to the highest bidder.” This is very sad; the caller doesn’t realize the Democratic Party has also sold out the American people. Where have you been sir; under a rock? When I heard the principles behind the Laffer curve and Supply Side economics, I laughed so hard I got a stitch; well until Reagan’s Supply Side economics was implemented. Take a look at the change in income and especially wealth distribution since the 1960s. The reason there is no real jobs is they were sent overseas by the oligarchs for profit; the same oligarchs that benefit for the wealth inequality. They’re doing OK, they have been using cheap money to buy back stock and raise the price. Again that’s only for the 1% and the rest are expected to accept the imbalance. I am starting to admit that Professor Wolff is correct and we should be listening to what he has to say. Listening to the ignorance displayed by this caller makes me both frustrated and angry. Anyone in the 99% that believes the Democratic Party works for them needs to be shaken until they wake up to reality. This is the classic left-right paradigm used by the elite to manipulate the masses. Might I use a quote from Warren Buffet “There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.” Why can’t these fools see that they can depend on the Democratic Party just a little more than they can depend on the Republican Party; and the reason for that is so the oligarchs can offer an almost null choice to con the voting public. It is that small difference that is used to bribe the American people and that keeps people supporting the, so called, Democracy. What a pathetic state of affairs; that’s what you get for following the lesser of two evils. And when you think the oligarch’s Democratic Party may deliver, the oligarchs will snatch it away from you. It’s like a dog running between two people that pretend to offer the dog food; each time snatching the food away before the dog arrives. He believes he has a better chance with one of the food handlers as he hold the food in sight longer than the other. Because the dog is hungry he keeps up the pretence hoping for a mouthful of food. Will the dog run until he drops dead of malnutrition or will the dog look for alternatives?
