But certainly the Right has a more vested interest in dividing the majority with wedge issues. Of course maybe now the Dems are the minority, they will too. I believe this is a card Mike Perente said we should use.



The Right serves the interests of wealth, power and privilege. It is a minority agenda so they must form and exploit coalitions with other groups while using wedge issues to divide the majority. The Right has several key goals. One is to dismantle the social safety net by sabotaging the finances of the federal government to create crushing debt. The second to create downward pressure on wages and a corresponding flow of wealth upward. The third is to hide the above with irresponsible tax cuts which give the illusion the Right is out to protect the average person.
