What you fail to recognize is that we have two parties taking different paths to achieve the very same result. Toothless regulation that is full of well placed loopholes is no different than deregulation. I know it's difficult for the partisan mind to comprehend the moral equivalences between these two corrupt parties, but there in no difference in their goal, only the methods. The republicans have their myth of trickle down, hoping that the corporate pharaohs will share some of the crumbs with the servants, and the democrats have their myth that we can target tax the rich our way to prosperity and equality for all. Both are nonsense, have been implemented endlessly and proven to be complete failures at doing anything which truly helps the average working American. This is not by accident, it is by design. Sorry, but you're just buying the endless campaign of mis-information. You have much company. Not to worry, it'll keep working until in doesn't and when, not if, that day comes it's going to be really painful for everyone except the corporate overlords who will have already moved their money elsewhere, just as planned.
