Corporate types have Americans, especially the poorest ones, convinced that the road is open to them to also become millionaires...they too can win the lottery, after all it MIGHT happen....and since, when they become millionaires, they will face those terrible regulations and high TAXES and all the welfare bums eating off of them, they get angry at Dems because they are costing them BEFORE they even get out of their toilet.

America holds this false dream alive that you too can get rich...in the meanwhile though you're broke, schools are crumbling, there is no real health care, the safety net is being poked full of holes and even though you and tour family desperately need all this stuff right NOW and most likely for years to come if not for your entire life, Americans are willing to stay poor IN THE MOMENT just so the tax laws will be set to favor the rich, because some day that will be THEM!

It's a masterful load of bullshit but only works because the schools and media have done their job so well that people can be brought to vote against their self-interest because some day they MIGHT be rich and so let's get things ready for then.

America wants to keep the path to super-wealth wide open even while it shuts down the paths the majority of us travel...and the poor are FINE WITH THAT...in Europe right now it is harder to become a zillionaire, but most people have a much better quality of life than they do here....better schools, free education through university, free health care, weeks of paid vacation and on and on....most Euro countries are looking out for all their people while American is built for the rich.

There are dirt-poor Americans who need dental work badly, who need medical attention, whose kids need check-ups and more and all of this could be paid for by a reasonable tax on the wealthiest...but these dirt poor Americans are dead set against it because what happns when THEY strike it rich, which they would do a lot faster if Dems would get out of the way of Repubs so that blessed day will come...damfools.
