"When I visited so-called “red” states this fall, I kept hearing angry complaints that government is run by Wall Street bankers who get bailed out after wreaking havoc on the economy, corporate titans who get cheap labor, and billionaires who get tax loopholes"

And they choose a billionaire to row them to safety...to protect their diminishing dreams? This is the part of the "red states"...always voting for a Lord/Master while willfully playing the Peasant.

I may get hidden...hope not...but that to my mind is the epitome of slavery mentality...not at all confined to a race any more. The Middle Class has always been an experiment, but all elements/ideas/nature have a cycle and maybe this one has topped out.
