They may stave off total destruction of the middle class, near term, but the way it works now it is eventually going to be a losing game. It's no different than an environmental group that negotiates with developers and end up giving away 30% of what they are trying to protect to save the rest.

Vote Repug they get a whole lot of goodies.
Vote Democratic and the complainers are satisfied and they don't get as many goodies but the system stays intact.
The solution as I see it is to continue to support democratic candidate because that is the only option we have while, at the same time, agitating the system.
We really need to make them afraid of us.
I am done with being played.
