2/ But it was all a ploy. They were just transforming the mission of government from helping the people to helping the corporations. Whereas corporate taxes used to cover 33% of our public treasury - a time during which we had a healthy middle class! - it now covers only 11%

Corporate Dems try to have it both ways. The Republican Party now stands for simply giving the country to corporations. Corporate Democrats want to ameliorate the pain this causes, but won’t challenge the underlying forces that make all the pain inevitable. Both have failed us.
