This is What Plutocracy Looks Like

This is What Plutocracy Looks Like

 

" Democrats and Republicans, are partners on the side of reigning
plutocrats in a class war against a broadly-defined global working
class. Democrats have spent decades cynically overwriting / overriding
demands for meaningful employment, food, health care and pension
security with identity politics that reduce to the right of people who
can afford rights to receive them. Another name for this is class
warfare. "

Graph: The economic circumstances of people who have to work—
middle-aged breadwinners, has been declining since the onset of the
neo-capitalist coup in the mid-1970s. The Clinton ‘boom’ was weak
relative to earlier history and the (George W.) Bush and (Barack) Obama
booms (a/k/a economic calamities) were weaker still. Bi-partisan
political actions have supported the ‘right’ of capitalists to crush
labor and that is what they have done. How surprising then are the
consequences? Source: St. Louis Federal Reserve.
