Thomas Frank on How Democrats Went From Being the ‘Party of the People’ to the Party of Rich Elites

Read it, then read his book, it will open you eyes to why the Democrats are the party for the rich.

Baloney. 2009 was no time to go after business, and Obama had "control" for 24 days, all used to pass ACA.

''Sure, we don't need a tax cut for the nonrich, or a living wage, or heath care reform, or infrastructure, or training, or cheap ed.- Everything's great. lol. We need a tax cut for the richest and a military-industrial buildup. Funny how repeal of ACA is ALSO a giant tax cut for the rich...

All blocked after Scott feqing Brown...Thomas Frank is just another lying GOP propagandist.

So you don't know who Thomas Frank is, you should just say so.

He's an idiot who writes all kinds of crap. Harpers, books. BS. 2009 was no time to go after business, and Obama had "control" for 24 days, all used to pass ACA. The article was FOS.

Didn't need Congress for the Justice Dept. to go after the crooks. So I have no idea what you are saying.

Maybe Obama and the Democrats were too stupid to figure out that you didn't need Congress to prosecute.

The Booshies changed so many regs and oversight rules and just plain oversight there wasn't much to prosecute. Just watch the Trumpettes do the same...

Lol! What a bunch of bullshit. Can you list all the changed refs and oversight rules that were changed?

Whatever lol. Do you dare tell us what transportation job you did so well at?

Why would you need to know? I really don't reveal a lot to a bunch of nutters on a message board.

I don't blame you. But the nutters are all GOPers as far as I've seen...take your brainwashed belittlement of teachers. RW idiocy. It's damn hard, especially if you don't have the disciplinary gene.

You are the asshole that makes claims he can't back, so please spare me your opinions, they are like assholes, everyone has one, in your case, you are one.

As far as teachers, I have worked with them because our company had an account with them and they were for the most part the dumbest people we dealt with. We would laugh at them when they would leave, because they had no clue.

Yup, nice corrupt bubble and huge debt under Booosh's good times lol. How'd that work out? What business were you in? Screwing the chumps on real estate or selling stuff to people on their 3rd mortgage money? lol

Franco, I have had enough of your bullshit, you don't even read what is written or the context. I didn't have a cushy, non thinking job of screwing kids education like you did. I was in the transportation business. So while you were sitting in a classroom doing nothing but pushing paper and your fucked up agenda, I was working.

I did that for 6 years- It's hell on wheels- 6, 7, 8th graders. You dare to say wtf you're talking about? Transportation? I wish. lol. I also taught college French. Now THAT is pretty cushy. Christ, half the country is in the transportation business.

We were in transportation because you can make money. I was and am a manager.

I was a sales manager, and I still have no clue what you were up to. lol. Doesn't matter- we're talking politics- and the good business atmosphere under Booosh was a scam. A giant real estate bubble, a ton of debt fueled spending by the gov't, the stupidest wars ever, etc etc etc.

If they were GOP prosecuting they probably would have, but Dems never do that corrupt shytte. That's why nobody actually prosecutes Hilary, Bill or any other Dems, except on their bs propaganda...Tel us all about Bill lying about BJs now dupe.

BUT BUT BUT Libtards laughed when Republicans said higher minimum wages will drive up food costs.

Restaurant diners are footing the bill for rising minimum wages.

In lieu of steep menu price increases, many independent and regional chain restaurants in states including Arizona, California, Colorado and New York are adding surcharges of 3% to 4% to help offset rising labor costs. Industry analysts expect the practice to become widespread as more cities and states increase minimum wages.

More on this...

US retail sales rise in January, led by gas and restaurants
What does 'A Day Without a Woman' mean for restaurants?
“It’s the emerging new norm,” said Sharokina Shams, spokeswoman for the California Restaurant Association. She said California restaurants are adding surcharges as the state lifts the minimum wage every year until it reaches $15 an hour by 2023. It is currently at $10.50 an hour for employers with 26 or more workers.
Restaurants are adding labor surcharges to help offset minimum wage increases

So what?

When Republicans blame "both parties" that's a cop out.

And no matter how hard you try to pretend you aren't a republican you are just the other side of the coin to me. In the end it comes down to you think the GOP is the lesser of the two evils.

But why do you think that? Do you think tax cuts to the rich will trickle down?

At least Democrats are the party for unions. Oh yea, I forgot, you've been CONNED into believing that unions are not necessary anymore.

I don't see you being pro labor at all. I know you probably are so you must really believe Republicans will fix the economy with their trickle down, free markets, less regulations,

Ok, I'm cool with you. Now lets just see if the GOP fuck up AGAIN and if when they do, if you try to give "everyone a share of the blame" including the Democrats in the minority.

We know you will blame the Democrats in the minority because you blame Hillary for Iraq. Even when the GOP lies us into a war you feel the need to blame "both parties". Truly pathetic, but I get it.

I never said the rich should get tax cuts. I have never said unions aren't necessary any more. I do believe in less regulation to help small business get started and to grow. I am against the box store mentality. More companies, more start ups is better for America. I have never blamed Hillary for Iraq. So all four of the points you brought up to frame me as a Republican, you are dead wrong. You are a partisan idiot who is incapable of thinking on your own, you need the Democratic Party to do it for you.

You never said the rich should get tax breaks but the party you voted for says they should. So you disagree with them? Then why vote for them. You may not say unions aren't necessary but the people you vote for say they are.

What regulations on small business are Republicans going to repeal that's going to help small business?

I don't vote straight Republican pothead. I voted Republican for the Senate and Democrat for the House, third party for President. Local elections I am all over the board. I voted against incumbents for the House and Senate, party doesn't matter. Local level party doesn't really matter.

You aren't all over this board. Straight ticket Republican here

Yeah, and you are a drug dealing, tax evading Democrat, so tough to believe your bullshit about Dems being truthful and honest.

Please, we need to understand how Obama wronged you and you took a step back in the Obama years. How and why were the bush years better for transportation? Got any proof your industry and state did well in the bush years? You probably forget even in 2008 Republicans were denying a recession was coming. I remember even Romney claimed Michigan was in a one state recession. So I know your memory is very short when it comes to how bad the bush years actually we're.

You were defending bushanomics so much you forget how wrong you were. Best you can say now is everyone's to blame. How big of you
