Then they role out some right wing agenda to destroy the middle class and enrich the 1%. Power has dissipated from the middle class along with jobs and wages. Then they try and spread said meme around the world. Gumming up the dreams of the working classes with institutiinalized corruption like you find in some very old countries where the rich are entrenched and pull the ladder up behind themselves financially and powerwise with corruption. GOP are using legalized corruption instead. And they are pulling up the ladder of good information to entrench themselves.
