To the right ... ever to the right ...

This is why Wall Street will always win ... this battle was lost so very long ago. Yes this clip isn't that historically accurate ... but to me it captures the spirit that has always pervaded the upper echelons of the American power elite. Right now as I watch this debate on a national level I think of this ... "Most men with nothing would rather protect the possibility of becoming rich than face the reality that they'll always be poor." That seems to be the basis for American politics these days. So many truck drivers, school teachers, laborers, lower middle class and lower class voters ... continue to throw their lot in with the Republicans, year after year. Why? Yes indeed religion is a large part of it. But listen to the Tea Party ... listen to the Glen Beck-ites and the Rush Limb-ites ... the vast majority of them just average joes ... they dance to the tune of the RNC whether they know it or not. Why? I can only think of that quote ... here we are in 2010 ... still dancing to the tune of the Eastern old money power elite ... nothing has changed ... and I doubt anything will.
