And you think the Democrats care? Why? Because they say they do? Look at their party leadership. Now and in the past. Look at how they live and have lived. Does that strike you as leadership that cares about the poor?
Better yet, look at what they've actually done for the poor. The initiatives brought about by the "war on poverty" have not fixed poverty. One of the most popular things for Dems to complain about is distribution of wealth.
As a party, they don't care about the poor or the middle class any more than Republicans do. It's just a vote-garnering platform, which is exactly what you get when you have parties put in place by votes.
Don't blame the parties. They're just doing exactly what we asked them to do. What we designed them to do. Blame the system we insisted upon while we were trying to protect ourselves by turning to government.

I could go into some long some Long multi-paragraph reply to this, but I won't, because the writing is on the wall. Republicans want a balanced budget, But seem to be obsessed with doing that by taking it out on the poor and middle class; the very people they should be trying to bolster, the very people that were hit hardest by the recession. It shows that The GOP is the best of the best government money can buy.

Please do go into a long-multi-paragraph reply. I enjoy the discourse and I can always use the perspective. I suspect you could use some as well. The truth is that the government as a whole is one of the best governments money can buy. Virtually everything else, including the perspective of the article's author, is nothing more than the result of politicization of issues that government never fixes.
