Romney: 'I'm not concerned about the very poor'

[Democratic Hawk]

I'd have more respect for Romney if he went the whole hog and admitted that he wasn't concerned about the middle class. Right-wing neoliberalism serves the wealthiest first and foremost. The irony is that a prosperous middle class serves the socio-economic interests of the wealthiest best but "conservatives" slave to dogma for its own sake are blind of that

The middle class has long been in decline, since 1973, in fact - and the Golden Age of Capitalism (aka the post-war economic boom) for ordinary people trumped anything that either came before or since

The cancer at the heart of Anglo-American capitalism is the fact that wealth has been permitted to increasingly accumulate in the hands of the richest few

It was greed that drove capitalism to the brink not yet 4 years past

Romney's economics meanwhile seem to be rooted on extending the Bush tax cuts in their entirety and if the best they could accomplish was the worst record when it comes to jobs of any full-term president this side of Herbert Hoover you can appreciate why supply-side is, for me, at least, a very hard sell

It was the Democratic Party and its new liberalism that founded the mass middle class in the wake of the Depression and I've somewhat more confidence in them to advocate their interests
