Because I agree with your conclusions. We just seem to differ on what the neo-liberals are doing to make our situation worse.
We agree that Republicans want to downsize government, but also privatize its functions. In other words, they are buying support by inducing their idiot voters with promises of lower t@xes. When they succeed and get voted into government, they disarm government's regulatory powers and fair practices, in order to divert public money to their special cronies. Nobody outside the inner circle is happy. Not even their idiot voters who are too stupid to see what's going on.
But the biggest assault is to minorities. A deregulated government at the local and state levels allows for a great deal of fraud, corruption and cover-ups. It is in these unfair practices where you'll find the source of inequality.
Neo-Liberals are just aiders and abettors.
