The American Working Class has NO representation in Washington.
The few Democrats that still work FOR
Working Americans have been completely marginalized by the
Big Money Wing of the Democratic Party.
Remember THIS Democratic Party?
"In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.
Among these are:
*The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
*The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
*The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
*The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
*The right of every family to a decent home;
*The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
*The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
*The right to a good education.
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
For unless there is security here at home there cannot be lasting peace in the world."--FDR
THAT is the "Democratic Party" I joined 44 years ago.
I miss THAT Democratic Party.
From the OP:
"The administration has wasted billions of dollars and the good will of the voters only to find itself right back where it started. Tax cuts for the wealthy and big business and slogans and promises for the working people. I guess trickle-down economics really doesn’t work after all. Perhaps they will try a Democratic solution next time, but probably not."---David Glenn Cox
"If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for,
at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them."
--- Paul Wellstone
