> The expectation of rising real incomes was built into the American culture
Ah that's the classic propaganda line:
"I am not poor, I am just pre-wealthy."
...So I sure don't want to vote for anything that would jeopardize my wealthy position when I get there.
The key in all of this is ability to manipulate the people into believing and voting in a particular way. US has no shortage of zombies who don't think on their won. Blame the education system, blame the system as a whole, I don' t know. As long as people don't base their votes on reality they will end up voting against their own good because they are being manipulated.
Basic health care, tax cuts for the super rich, trickle down wealth, futile wars, all this things are being delegated (via votes) from un-informed people to the politicians via a manipulative process. I see this within my own extended family, I see it on the streets, in the stores, in school and at work.
